Newsletters email

[BizBink]

I want to change the email address that the newsletters sends emails as... Right now it's set to the one that I set up SMF with and that was my alternative email since now I have a custom email made just for updates like that

OK, you can still install 90% of it and then do a manual edit on one file.

@Chas: Won't emulate work?

@BizBink: Upgrade to RC5, it has security fixes and a few features more...

@Chas: Won't emulate work?

Didn't with mine, the code is different.

Ah ok

If you install this mod using emulation for RC2, you should only get 1 error. It fails on placing a line of code in the ManageSettings,php file in the Sources directory.

The installer looks for

Code Select Expand


// Mod authors, add any settings UNDER this line. Include a comma at the end of the line and don't remove this statement!!

But fails because the code has the spacing at the beginning of the line missing, thus.

Code Select Expand


// Mod authors, add any settings UNDER this line. Include a comma at the end of the line and don't remove this statement!!

Install the mod and Edit the ManageSettings.php file by placing the required code below under the line of text and above the other similar lines.

Code Select Expand


array('text', 'mail_from', '30'),

So mine now looks like this

Code Select Expand


            array('text', 'mail_from', '30'),
                        array('check', 'cgdt_enable'),
                        array('text', 'cgdt_message1'),
array('text', 'cgdt_message2'),
array('text', 'cgdt_message3'),
array('text', 'cgdt_message4'),
array('text', 'cgdt_message5'),
array('text', 'cgdt_message6'),

Yours may be slightly different if you have other mods installed.

Once modified, re-upload the ManageSettings.php file to your forum and do a forced refresh of the browser. Go to Admin > Configuration > Modification settings and you'll find a box labelled "HelpSend Mail From Address:" Enter a non working e-mailo address like [email protected] and then if anyone replies to a notification e-mail, they will get a bounce back message. Alternatively you could use an e-mail address with an autoresponder set up so that it bounces back a message.
