okay one last post. i found out why the settings were not holding.  i don't know if this should make any difference, but this is the reason why......

i have several add on domains in addition to my main domain, so the settings for the add on domain would always be lost when i log out of the forum, so i said, let me install a smf forum on the main domain and see if the settings hold. viola!  they did.  so now i'm going to swap my add on domain with my main domain so that the features i need in the forum will hold.  just in case any one else has this problem this is what worked for me.  so i will keep my hosting company, as i have never had a problem or down time with them.  thanks true satan for all your help.

When I try to send an e-mail it fails (an error has occurred!) and I see that in the logs:

8: Undefined index: user_email_title
File: /home/d/denis/smf/Sources/User_Email.php
Line: 134

SMF 1.1.3  useremail 1.2

Thanks!

OK I switched to the default theme and the error is more explicit:

An Error Has Occurred!
You can not send email.

Then I went to Permissions. And I understood: there is now a new option, "Send User Email". I was checking "Send a forum email to members" earlier because the other option did not show up.

I think the bottom line is, This mod does not really work with themes (using orange-lt). Sad.

Finally I edited by hand Modifications.english.php as suggested here, and the form seems to work. I also did this change in User_Email.php:

Code Select Expand

//Send email to member
$hostname = ereg_replace('^(www\.|forum\.|forums\.)', "", $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
sendmail($rec_email, $subject, $m, 'do-not-reply@'.$hostname);


The Reply-To address is changed to do-not-reply@hostname, so when the recipient replies to the message it goes to that address.

Simply excellent.

many thanks.

Is there anyway to make the form attach the sender's email address as the "reply to" rather than defaulting to the site admin email address?

A lot of people are using the form on my site, but unfortunately people are just clicking reply and I end getting the replies which I then have to forward to the original sender.

I agree.  The email should have the reply to: come from the original senders email address if possible.  If the origianl sender is wanting to contact a member via email, then they should be prepered to give up their address as well.  This keeps the email between members.

Just my .02

I just tried this mod with SMF 1.1.4 fresh install and it did not work. I says it does but I have not been able to make it work at all on two different hosts and domains.

[wicked1]

I also tried to install it. it appears to install properly, but the email form shows up blank  (it doesnt say "recipient, subject, body") and the submit box is just gray--no words on it.
Once the email gets sent, the text is jumbled so it doesnt even resemble a normal email

I mean: when you check your inbox, it says the sender is the forum's email address and the subject line doesnt say anything to hint that its from a forum you signed up to lol its just whatever the user put in there (which means it could end up in spam/trash)

Then once you open the email, it says simply:

[recipientsname][sendersname][forumsname][forumsemailaddy]

[body]

Example:

smfuser12AdminSMF Fan [email protected]

just testing!

I am using 1.1.4 and I've tried both through the package installer and manually installing it. Same results.

[SactoEric]

I started a new site and, even though I got this mod working well enough on my other site running SMF, it's all funky on the new one... I copied over a lot, if not all, of the same edits I made on the first site to the new one, but have one major hangup.... the emails do not go to the user (I got the copy though)! For the life of me I can't find where to change this... help please!

**edited to add that I've noticed the captcha characters don't change, while the font & background does...

**edited again to mention that it seems to work w/ SMTP, but not PHP to send mail

Posted a question on SMFHacks which has gone ignored, as has a PM to the developer of the hack.

Runinng 1.0.12 and the installed hack (also done manually) generates a missing CATCHA image, thus not allowing an email to be sent.  The code in the user_email.php seems to be the problem, it's forcing to the 1.1 selections.

I love the mod and want to use it, but can't.

Correct haven't test the verification code with SMF 1.0.x and more than likely the checks would need to be removed for the older version of SMF.

I'd just as happily go without the verification if you could identify what to remove.

I think I have the same problem. Im using Captcha (Advanced Visual Verification) and when I try to send the E-mail, Its says that the image doesn't match

Any help or fix?

[jhealis]

I've installed v 1.2 on 1.1.4 and I am not seeing the visual verification (I even checked in the default theme) yet the system says them email was sent.  The error log shows no problems, but the emails never arrive at their destination.
Forum emails, such as announcements, work just fine.

Any ideas?

Released an update that now when a message is to sent someone it shows the sender email address. So when they reply it goes to the sender and not the webmaster.
