Send a Private Message to Public Group Leaders Upon a Join Request

I'm still surprised this isn't built in yet. What this mod does is to send a private message to all of the leaders of a public group, letting them know that somebody wants to join the group.

To install:
Add a new phrase: (obviously, change the url to go to your board )
group_memberships_message

Text:
A request has been made to join the public group: {1}, of  which you are a leader.
You may validate the user here

Then, upload the plugin and turn it on. Easy as pie. Enjoy and thanks to Kirby for his tutorial on how to send private messages.

Very nice.

Could reduce the number of query insertions by sending to multiple users at once:

Have a look at this:

No need to use the while loop for the $pmdm->set then.

OK. I'll play with it later.

My private messages were showing <br> from new lines in the phrase, also trying to make the link click-able it was showing html instead of parsing bbcode, so I had to make a change to do_parse in the plugin. Attached is my minor edit and my phrase.

Thank you

Ridiculous that this hasn't been made a standard feature yet. Thank you very much, incredibly simple yet unbelievably useful hack.

[amykhar]

My pleasure. If I get time, I'll add in a feature so that users are notified via PM when they are accepted or denied.

Is there any way to hyperlink the url? I've tried bbcode, html, and just plain hoping the software would automatically parse. Is it possible?
