Miscellaneous Hacks - Group Leader PM Notification

Keywords: group, leader, notification, usergroups, public


Description:

Notifies the group leader(s), via PM, of join requests to their respective usergroup(s). Also notifies the users the status of their join requests upon moderation.

Details:

Basically, this is a continuation of the SEND A PRIVATE MESSAGE TO PUBLIC GROUP LEADERS UPON A JOIN REQUEST plugin by AMYKHAR. Many people were having various errors returned from the plugin, so in my attempt to fix it I kind of did things a little bit different.

Installation:

1. Download the attachment and import the product-glpn.xml file via the Product Manager.

2. ???

3. Profit

Support:

Officially, this hack is UNSUPPORTED. However, I will attempt to help you as much as possible. Please understand that this plugin was tested within a rather limited environment. Provide as much detail as possible when reporting any unwanted behavior so I (and others) may better assist you.

Version History:
v1.0 - Initial version.
v2.0 - Added ability to notify users the status of their request once moderated. All replies are phrased.
v2.1 - Passed usergroup title to JOINREQUET_NOTIFY_MESSAGE_APPROVED and JOINREQUETS_NOTIFY_MESSAGE_DECLINED phrases (requested by EasyTarget)

* THIS PLUGIN HAS ONLY BEEN TESTED ON USERGROUPS WITH A SINGLE LEADER. I'VE CODED IT TO, THEORETICALLY, SUPPORT MULTIPLE LEADERS. HOWEVER, YOUR MILEAGE MAY VARY.

I used to have this installed, but then after a while I got too many pms a day lol, but it is something that is really good when you have under 20 join requests a day.

but I remember from expierence it would have been better if it would pm them back saying if they were accepted or declined etc.

Updated!

The new version (2.0) now adds the ability to notify users the outcome of their join requests. All replies phrased to assist in customization.

Enjoy.

With the little disclaimer at the bottom, are you saying it won't work if there is only one leader per usergroup? I have a pretty small board, and I am the only one that will be allowing or denying access...
