New Mod: Boardwide Notification

[tobias2]

Hello

This mod enables users to be notified by email if
someone post a new message. It extends
the existing notification mechanism from specific
to ALL topics (hence boardwide).

As a Bonus the content of the message is also
put into eMail.

This mod is tested with yabbse 1.5.4 and boardmod.
I cannot get it working with YABBpak, therefore if
someone can try it for me and paste the results
i would be very grateful.

The mod can be downloaded at
http://www.ownz.de/programs/data/BoardwideNotificationMod.tar.gz
and can be modified and redistributed by anyone.

Could someone tell me please how you get this to work. This is what we need. Well we need to be able. When a new post is added the admin and moderators get sent this post, and for users to be able to subscribe to a board.

Please help. Where is everyone???

Hi Bzimmo

Since my package does do changes to Database tables
its not that easy to explain.

Best would be if someone in the forum can convert this MOD
to YappPak. I have tried all but cannot get it working.
Anyone here can help in creating a YabbPak ?

Can someone help me please to add this to my board, as I really need a feature like this. Just want to be able to have the posts sent to admin or moderators so that we can get this to work. Please could someone help me do this.

Pretty please

Hi

I installed this mod now, but I had probs to rund the modification.php file. It lacked some info.

I filled inn the missing lines, so if you use this instead it will work:

Code Select Expand

<?php

include('Settings.php');
mysql_connect($db_server, $db_user, $db_passwd);
mysql_select_db($db_name); 
$result1 = mysql_query("ALTER TABLE {$db_prefix}members add boardwideNotify tinyint(4) NOT NULL default '0';");
if(!$result1){
    echo "<font color=red>Error updating the DB. SQL Error: ".mysql_error()."</font><BR>";
    $error++;}
else
   echo "<font color=green>Members Table altered!</font><BR>";
?>

An even nicer function to this would be a board notification. Then the user could choose which board to follow.
