PM/Email Notification for Pending (Moderated) Messages · **Released**: 05-06-2002

Hiyas,

It's simple a notification hack for pending messages.

That is, if a message in your board is pending for moderation, Admin (or Mod or any users you specified) will be notified via email or private message (or both) about the pending message. This will work for both new threads or new replies.

This is requested, released and tested in this thread in the REQUESTS forum and I publish it as I am asked to do so :glasses:

I doubt you'll need a screenshot but see the message below if you do. Hack is very likely to work with all versions >2.0.3. It's very easy to apply (~2 mins.).

If you install it, please click install, thank you..

Enjoy! \\=^))

Sounds like a good hack, if it wasn't for the fact that I don't moderate posts on my forum, I would install

Here is a screenshot:

(This is the PM you get if you set the hack to send you PM!)

That usually means somebody selected post a poll and then didn't do the poll.

Cool hack. I have some semi-trolls under moderation. Now I get an email when they post. Thanks.

Hi Logician,

I installed the hack, and it worked perfectly for a couple of days. Then I no longer got e-mails (the option I selected) when new messages entered the moderator queue.

I looked at newreply.php and newthread.php, and the hacked code looks OK in both. I also sent myself e-mail through the software listing of my profile, and that worked (so the problem isn't that the e-mail utility is generally nonfunctional).

Any suggestions?

Regards,

Steve Price

Yep, odd.. Let's try to understand what's happening, so can you plz set the hack to send BOTH pm and email (or ONLY pm) to see if it's working or not?

I guess the problem you mentioned is not hack related, but let's try to trace it anyway..Btw have you checked if your server can send (not receive) email via sendmail or not? For example do you get email notifications for thread subscribtions?

Regards,
