SMF User Email System

[goitalone]

Nice mod but too small of a typing area ..and too bad it doesn't can't have bbc style options to change fonts bold etc.

Edit: Ahh, I found where to make the box bigger to type...nice!

[texasflats]

Installed and works flawlessly, very much appreciated! Thanks!

I have the latest version (1.1.3) and forgot about the problem of the admin email address being used as the reply to address... I received an email from a member and, not thinking, replied - to myself!

Is there any way to fix this? It's beyond annoying to to have to find the member, get their address, copy the subject and content of the original email to a new one and send when I should just be able to click Reply.

Otherwise, great mod & like others have said, it should be standard in SMF like other forum scripts (once this problem gets fixed).

*edited to add that it looks like 2.0 Alpha has it...

Yeah, sorry, I just saw that after I asked lol...I was just now readong about it all...this a long ways off though. I can't wait to see the improvments...especially the new email features!

i am using this mod but it does not hide the email address of the members in the posts. How to do that.

You would need to edit display.template.php by default only works on default theme.

I was annoyed at this sending emails from the forums email address but thats because SMF's email sending is not that flexible. It always sends from the forums email address and there is nothing you can really do without changing their sendmail function. Here are my changes I have done to inform users of where to reply to and to provide a profile link.

Open User_Email.php and find

Code Select Expand

global $context, $mbname, $webmaster_email, $ID_MEMBER, $txt, $db_prefix,$sourcedir,$user_info;

Change it to

Code Select Expand

global $context, $mbname, $webmaster_email, $ID_MEMBER, $txt, $db_prefix,$sourcedir,$user_info, $scripturl;

next find

Code Select Expand

mysql_free_result($request2);

replace with

Code Select Expand

$profilemsg = " or you can view their profile at $scripturl?action=profile;u=$ID_MEMBER\n";
mysql_free_result($request2);

then replace

Code Select Expand

$sec_name ='Guest';

replace with

Code Select Expand

$sec_name ='Guest';
$profilemsg = '';

finally replace

Code Select Expand

The following is an email sent to you by $sec_name via your account on $mbname. If this message is spam, contains abusive or other comments you find offensive please contact the webmaster of the board at the following address at $webmaster_email

with

very nice to hear ! 
SMF User Email System is a "must have" MOD.

...should be a standard as a matter of course
do you know if a Mod is still needed in SMF 2.0,
or is it "built in"  ?

[diplomat.]

Built in on 2.0

doh! I thought I made the changes previously, but obviously didn't upload them as I received another email and caught me replying to myself again...

Here's what I changed the last part of the code to:

Code Select Expand

$m ="Hello $rec,

The following is an email sent to you by $sec_name ( $sec_email ) via your account on $mbname. Please do not reply to this email as it was sent via the forum, instead use the email address provided earlier or visit the sender's profile via the link below.

The message sent to you follows:\n--------------------------------------------------\n\n";
$m .=  strip_tags($message);
$m .= "\n\n--------------------------------------------------\n";
$m .= $sec_name . "'s profile: " . $scripturl . "?action=profile;u=" . $ID_MEMBER;
$m .= "\n\nIf this message is spam, contains abusive or other comments you find offensive please contact the webmaster of the board at the following address at $webmaster_email\n";
//For send mail function

I didn't like the idea of members unknowingly exposing their email addresses, so I added a disclaimer right above the "Send e-mail" button to the User_Email.template.php file in the Themes directory...

* Please note that your email address will be exposed to the recipient

IPB fan xD j/k heh Custom themes will need to be modified if you are using them.

[shadow82x]

But this is on the core! What does ipb have to do anything (shadow hates ipb so much!)

[shadow82x]

Actually I got it to work. I forgot admin were able to see hidden email.
