link directly to PM in PM-Email-Notification

This small hack will allow you to insert two links into the email notification that is sent out when you receive a new pm.

It add the correct PM ID so that the user can go directly to the pm received or if he wishes directly to the anwser form for the pm received.

if you include the answer link it might be usefull to include the pm message text in the email. Do this by just adding $message in your template.

1 change in private.php
and one template change.

have fun.

Well, this satisfies me!

Now I have them both (Thread notification w/message & PM Noticication w/message)!

If you add this:

PHP Code:

$the_pm_id = $DB_site->insert_id(); 


right below this:

PHP Code:

$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO privatemessage (privatemessageid,userid,touserid,fromuserid,title,message,dateline,showsignature,iconid,messageread,folderid,receipt) VALUES (NULL,$touserinfo[userid],$touserinfo[userid],$bbuserinfo[userid],'".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($title))."','".addslashes($message)."',".time().",'$signature','$iconid',0,0,$receipt)"); 


and put this as a link to the private message, you can save making a new query.

PHP Code:

$bburl/private.php?action=show&privatemessageid=$the_pm_id

hi boofo,
thanks for the input
I always thought accessing the databank was the same thing - doesnt make much difference if your reading from it or writing to it an extra time. correct me if im wrong.

The code I quoted was from a hack that TWTCommish did a while back. Anytime I can save a query, I usually do it that way. Either way will work fine, though.

[msimplay]

i like hacks to be made for 2.3 or updated cuz am on Vb 2.30 release 3

Use TWTCommish's version which doesn't use a query like Boofo said. We use it here too.
