variable problem, need help

[raffael3d]

I'm writing on an email notification mod, which also sends the message, poster and postertime with the message.

on line 1107 in post.php I added $message, $posterName, $posterTime to the global variables

near line 1182 I added $message to the body. this one works. so the message is send in the email
BUT posterName and posterTime aren't sent.

I had no idea why it is not working. any help? thanks.

use $name, $email instead
u gotta look in the function that calls NotifyUser() and see the variables used there

thanks part 1 worked with $username, now this shows me the person who posted

now the variables there are

global $subject, $threadid, $txt, $cgi, $db_prefix, $realemail, $doLimitOne, $message, $username, $language, $chklngfile, $chklngfile2, $mbname;
   global $ID_MEMBER, $modSettings;

but I couldn't find any that would help me to find out the time when it was posted, so that I can send that also in the email.

and the board it was posted in would also be great.
which variables can help me?

here are the vars inserted to the database, u can find the rest here:

INSERT INTO {$db_prefix}messages (ID_TOPIC, ID_MEMBER, subject, posterName, posterEmail, posterTime, posterIP, smiliesEnabled, body, icon, attachmentSize, attachmentFilename, nowListening)
VALUES ($threadid, $ID_MEMBER, '$subject', '$name', '$email', $time, '$REMOTE_ADDR', $se, '$message', '$icon', '$attachment_size', $tmpname, '$nowListening')")

thanks according to that $time should give me the result, but it doesn't.
I declared it also as a global variable and then used $time in the send_body, but it doesn't work...
any ideas? thanks.

[Spaceman-Spiff]

it should work if u do it right
u'll also need to format the time, cuz it's still in unix timestamp, u can use the timeformat() function

[raffael3d]

I guess I'm not doing it right then....

Code Select Expand

function NotifyUsers ()
{
   global $subject, $threadid, $txt, $cgi, $db_prefix, $realemail, $doLimitOne, $posterName, $posterTime, $time, $message, $username, $language, $chklngfile, $chklngfile2, $mbname;
   global $ID_MEMBER, $modSettings;

that's what I the global variables are. I added $time and posterTime,

then a bit below in the

Code Select Expand

$send_body = "$txt[128]\n
$message      
$username
$time



$message and $username are working, the data is submitted in the email, but $time is not.

[Spaceman-Spiff]

i think u'll also need to add $time in Post2() global line

[raffael3d]

that made the difference! thanks.
