PM Auto Reply

So, a little something this time I had on my mind for quite a while now....

PM Auto-Reply MOD by ---==> HELLCAT <==---
This adds an "auto responder" to the PMs.

When enabled, everytime you get sent a PM the sender is automatically returned a PM containing a predefined message (editable in options).
To tell the sender you're offline for a while and answer should be expected sometime later or such....

Features:

• Adds an auto responder (auto reply) option to the PMs
• Can be turned ON and OFF in useroptions
• A date can optionally be specified between automated replies are sent
• Another user can optionally be specified to whom a copy of the recieved PM is forwarded to
• Admin can specify usergroups not allowed to use the auto responder

Installation:

• Import the product .XML
• One tiny template edit:
  Open template "modifyoptions " (in "Modify Useroptions" group) and FIND THIS:
  

  $customfields[messaging]

  AFTER it, ADD:
  

  $pmautoreply_option

  Save the template.

Done, and enjoy!

The admin option for excluding usergroups is in "vBulletin Options" -> "Private Messaging Options" at the bottom: "Exclude usergroups from using the PM auto reply feature"

I intentionally didn't do it with usergroup permissions since that would require a .XML file to be uploaded and I wanted to stay this as a single product/plugin file

[hint]I'd also like something like this on vb.org [/hint]

Can the date be eneterd into the PM also?

[Hellcat]

You can enter any text you like for the auto PM

[Boofo]

I was referring to a time variable.

[Hellcat]

Yeah, could be done.
Wouldn't even be hard to do. But why not just type it in your PM text?

In case you ever wanted to change it I guess and still use a standard message.
