# 5uper Mario : Second: no members I was trying to test it with a random member who somehow joined my hidden site?? edit: oh pieter nvm, how u find it?

You gave me a screenshot in the forum for the Gameportal skin:

# SunChase : hm.I havent seen your script,but if your doing it this way - sign me in for beta testing

Sorry for the delay
Actually, it had to do with the browser cache...
I'd get a previous error, fix it, reload the page, error still there.....drove me mad.
But then I cleared my cache. Worked.

Anyways yea I need a beta tester. for a real live site
First, my server no mail server = can't test emails (Though the automatic one worked)
Second: no members I was trying to test it with a random member who somehow joined my hidden site?? edit: oh pieter nvm, how u find it?
But the PM function(as you mention) works

@Kingsley
Yep, it has two functions as editable in the config:
1: Send PM's and Emails Automatically
2: Send PM's and Write a EMail to certain users using the form=checkboxs
3: I just threw this one in, can decide if you want to only send emails or emails and PMs vice versa

@SunChase
Please pm me or otherwise I'll finish up the languages and release it.

So they get both a email and pm is what your saying?
Yes

# SunChase : Just remembered. Will the Warnings be sent only by email(without a copy of the message by PM) ?

To the user?

# 5uper Mario : Should the Welcome PM be released?
Or would that go against the original author's rights or something?
Cause I have alot of plugins converted from Seditio

You could always put the original designer in the credits, and yourself as adapter to cotonti.
Can't imagen why the original designer would object to that...

And for the users inactive plugin, will be done tommarrow.

Will be in 7 languages

i think that this thing should be selected in the basis.In the plugins options bar set "Use automatics - Yes/No"

5uper Mario

Cmt, 02 Oca 2010 00:49:39 -0000

# Kingsley : Uhm, think it would be better if it's an automated function.

I mean, what if you're site has hundreds/thousands of members? then it would be a lot of work to select the inactive mebers. Think it better to have options to edit the time period, which groups, etc.. so bassically you will have the welcome message function, and below that the options for reminder mails..

Or two options in the config area
If automated {
do
}
else {
manual selection
}

ect...

# SunChase : i think that this should be done in a little different way:

make a page that would show all those,who hasn't been active for a period of time with a checkbox to select all those,for whom you want to send this messages, and a textboxer window with the text,you want to send.Something like "Dear [name]..bla bla bla"

Did you take a quick peek at my script?
Cause that's basically how its set up

# Kingsley : Thx Mario.

Maybe an option to add a reminder mail to? For when people haven't been on the site for xx time?
Just an idea..

Oh thanks for reminding me.
Hataz asked for this same plugin.

Let me get on this right away

Thank You

Exactly whats wrong
(I always do that)

SunChase

Cum, 01 Oca 2010 22:07:51 -0000

if i'm not mistaking :
$L['cfg_fromuserid'] = fromuserid
...
than instead of $L['messagetitle'] try $L['cfg_messagetitle']

5uper Mario

Cum, 01 Oca 2010 21:49:21 -0000


[BEGIN_SED_EXTPLUGIN_CONFIG]
fromuserid=01:string::1:The User ID of the Sender
fromusername=02:string::webmaster:Name of the sender
messagetitle=03:string::Hello There New Member:The title of the PM
message=04:words::Hello there [user]\r\nWelcome.\r\nWe hope you enjoy your stay and make lots of friends.\r\nThank You,\r\nAdministrator:Write what you want every new member to read. Use [user] for there name to display.

show the setup side of the code

5uper Mario

Cum, 01 Oca 2010 21:39:37 -0000

Even in another lang that article was easy to understand.

Actually I keep the lang files, but I add:
$L['cfg_fromuserid'] = array('The User ID of the Sender');

ect..

So it works...to a point.

$L['cfg_fromuserid'] = array('The User ID of the Sender');
$L['cfg_fromusername'] = array('The name of the Sender');
$L['messagetitle'] = array('The Title or header of the PM');
$L['message'] = array('Write what you want every new member to read. Use [user] for there name to display');

First two work, last two don't

I can't find the error....

Driving me crazy

SunChase

Cum, 01 Oca 2010 21:00:39 -0000

Yes.This can be done.Read this.

5uper Mario

Cum, 01 Oca 2010 20:41:22 -0000

Can be updated

I removed the lang files for....the really only reason why I did this:
So that you can add a message via the admin panel and note have to go to the php files.

The only thing I am unsure of is this:

Like, is it possible to make that mulit-langel?

ex.
welcome=1::string:$L['title']:

ect..?
(haven't tried)

Expect a update soon

SunChase

Cum, 01 Oca 2010 20:33:20 -0000

good work.But i think the lang files should be returned.Or i think a divider function must be plased,so that the text would loook like:

===Language - English===
Title : Welcome
Text : Welcome bla bla bla...

and ect.

5uper Mario

Cum, 01 Oca 2010 20:17:18 -0000

change in the plugins settings the "ID of the sender :" to 0.This will help

5uper Mario

Cum, 01 Oca 2010 19:44:22 -0000

Indeed

I (believe so) fixed this.

However, after the new user sends the message, the name (ex. webmaster) that you sent turns to your name. :p XD

I don't think its a big deal though

EDIT:
nvm
The sent box shows the true name :p
But other then that it shows webmaster and works

Just waiting on a solution for the PM notify

SunChase

Cum, 01 Oca 2010 19:12:30 -0000

there is another problem,which i think needs fixing.
Even if you set the 0 user id and Webmaster as referent,the user which will open this PM will still see the "Quick reply form" in which he would like to ask something or ect.

I think this could be done by a hack of the pm.inc.php where this form is formed by adding something like If "$row['fromusedid'] !=0" {...} ... cant look at the cotonti distibutive now,but i think the plot is understood

5uper Mario

Cum, 01 Oca 2010 04:06:23 -0000

Done

I don't know what you did, but I finished it caused I had it planned in my head
Once I see how it could work, I never stop

Anywayz it works, sends a PM, the message is editable via the config of the plugin.
Pretty simple actually

Actually I ran into a problem:
The user gets the PM, but there is no notification.
Like normally it would say "1 New PM"
But it doesn't

$sql = sed_sql_query("INSERT INTO $db_pm ( pm_state) values ('0');

0 or 1 nither does the trick...
(ran into this problem with seditio too...)

Added 17 minutes later:

oh
Would you want to keep the way it is?
When the user gets the PM, due to Cotonti
if you set the name as webmaster(or any other name not the same as user id 1)
they get an error if they click it.

Cause Cotonti is looking for the username webmaster with the id # 1
unless that's your name you get a error.

So I could change that too....

almost workinig but shows only $Message

SunChase

Per, 31 Ara 2009 05:31:07 -0000

hm.Add a input field in the setup file.Something like:

[BEGIN_SED_EXTPLUGIN_CONFIG]
Message=08:string:::Additional pages fields for search, separated by commas. Example "page_extra1,page_extra2,page_key"
[END_SED_EXTPLUGIN_CONFIG]

and then in welcomepm.en.lang.php add something like this:

$L['plu_pmtext']  =  $Message

I really cant remember how exactly to do this.Coders please correct me

# SunChase : hm.You mean you want to edit the message from the admin pannel directly.
I think that this can be done.But it would be better to make its own slot for this.

How can this be done quickly then?

# SunChase : what do mean by "freetext slot" ?

In the config menu with the slots, down near the bottom there are open free text slots.
{PHP.cfg.freetext1 through 9}
