Auto PM to Thread Starter on Moderation

What does this Hack do?
When a thread is Opened/Closed, Stuck/Unstuck, Moved, Split, Merged, or a Post is deleted, a PM will be automatically sent to the Poster to inform them of this.

If you don't want to have a PM sent for a specific action, just don't add the code for that bit.

As requested here

Don't forget to click Install.

Update: PM now includes the name of the Moderator who actioned the changes.

22 December 2004 - Bugfix - missing variables. Thanks to Bison.

14 April 2005 - Fixed missing $action for Deleted threads.

Nice, I have some custom code that auto PM's the author when a thread has been moved that also says where it has been moved to, and who moved it.. I'll probably integrate some of these options in to it.

I've got the 'where its moved to' bit, but it's not parsed as yet.

*tips cap*

No worries, I saw you request it and am glad I was able to help.

I think it is possible to do what you are asking, and it shouldn't be too hard, but it's not something I will be able to look at for at least a couple of days.

At the moment, it's very rough, and quite limited. Eg: It only sends the PM to the thread starter. In the case of a thread being Split, the thread starter may not be the person whose posts have been split off..but they are the one who gets the message.

I would like to have a switch/checkbox to tick if you don't want to send the auto-PM, among other things. I'll add your request to the wishlist.
