Name: Email Notification on Reply v3.0 v3.0 Author: V3.0 Ported to UBB 6.1.0.x by Eric Parr (Corona) Original Author: V2.0 Eddie Holman (Leshrac) Requirements: UBB version 6.1.0.x Tested On: UBB v6.1.0.3 Thanks: Leshrac for providing the original Email Notification for Replies v2.0 code Purpose: Hack allows forum users to receive e-mail notification for threads that have been replied to. It also allows the topic starting user to change this option later by editing their post and turning notification off or on. WARNING: This hack should only be attempted by experienced coders!!! This hack hooks into forum files, and if a bug occurs, it has the potential to destroy the forum files. This is a BETA hack!! If you attempt to install this hack, you do so at your own risk -- please backup all files before installation. By installing this hack, you agree that i will not be liable for damages. NOTES: The original Email Notification for Replies v2.0 hack, created by Eddie Holman (Leshrac) was coded for compatability with UBB v6.0.x. This is the same exact hack, which i have only re-wrote to be compatable with UBB6.1.0.x. After a few emails were shipped to the v2.0 author with no return response, heres the code. More Information: More Information Support Questions?Feel free to post your support problems here. I do not know if i can answer them, or if i will have time to solve them. However, others who use the hack may be willing to provide assistance. [ 01-22-2002 09:46 PM: Message edited by: Corona ]

Hey I know this probally with 6.1 a incompatibility with 6.2.
I installed email notification with replies on 6.2. I did this since the code is exactly the same to replace in 6.1 to 6.2. so why not it should work flawlessly
well then I get this error!!
Hello,
A user has replied to a topic you created at %%BBNAME%%. Here are the details:
Forum: %%THIS_FORUM_NAME%%
Subject: %%THAT_SUBJECT%%
Who Replied: %%FROM_PDN%%
View Topic @ %%TOPIC_URL%%
I figured you could point me in the right directions as it has to do with the new vars_wordlet_email.cgi file and its new structure? It seems to be causing the problem since infopop does extensive talk about how new this file is in the release etc etc.

Hello Omegatron,
Unfortunately, i do not have a 6.2 board installed yet -- and it will probably be a while before i get one up and running.
The problem is that the email handling routines in 6.2 are completely different. The hack into ubb_new_reply.cgi reads as follows for the mail handling routine:
if ($vars_email{email_format} ne 'html') {
&RequireVars("$vars_config{VariablesPath}/vars_wordlets_email.cgi");
$email_message = qq!$vars_wordlets_email{topic_notify}!;
} else {
$email_message = '';
}
if ($vars_email{email_format} ne 'ascii') {
$message = &ConvertReturns($message_ascii);
&RequireVars("$vars_config{VariablesPath}/vars_wordlets_email.cgi");
my $html_body = qq!! . "$vars_wordlets_email{topic_notify_html}" . qq!!;
$html_message = "$EmailHeader $html_body $Footer";
} else {
$html_message = '';
}
&ubb_mail("$notify_email", "$vars_display{BBEmail}", "$vars_display{BBEmail}", "", "$vars_wordlets_email{topic_notify_subject}", "$email_message", "$html_message", "");
This routine was commonly used in version 6.0 -> 6.1.0.x. Ubb 6.2.0 uses a different routine. If you compare the hack code to the current mail handling routine found in ubb_new_reply.cgi it is very different.
The new mail handling routine from a stock ubb6.2.0 install reads as follows:
&RequireVars("$vars_config{VariablesPath}/vars_wordlets_e
i");
&RequireVars("$vars_config{VariablesPath}/vars_wordlets_email.cgi");
my $s = &EmailWordletFixer;
e-val($s);
if(defined &EmailWordletFiller) {
%vars_wordlets_email = &EmailWordletFiller();
} else {
&StandardHTML($vars_wordlets_criterr{no_email_wordlet_filler} . ": $@");
} # end if
my $this_message = qq!$vars_wordlets_email{post_alert_cant_write}!;
&RequireCode("$vars_config{CGIPath}/ubb_lib_mail.cgi");
&ubb_mail("$vars_registration{RegsAdminEmail}", "$vars_registration{RegsAdminEmail}", "$vars_registration{RegsAdminEmail}", "", "$vars_wordlets_err{post_no_write_subject} : $vars_config{BBName}", "$this_message", "", "$vars_display{BBEmail}");
2 very disimilar routines. Unfortunately, i can't provide any assistance as i do not have ubb6.2 set up, and i am not familiar with the new mailing routines. However, this is the area of the hack which you want to examine in order to port this code for compatability with v6.2.
If i had access to a ubb6.2.0 setup, i could probably port this code for compatability in a short amount of time.

Corona: Porting this over to the new 6.2 routines should be pretty easy.
First, make a new copy of the email Wordlet - use existing %%TEMPLATE%% routines for everything if possible. See EmailWordletFixer in ubb_lib for a description of which %%TEMPLATE%% is for each variable. You'll probably want a new one for the current message and the replier username.
Just stick the call and check block after the wordlets_email file is loaded, it'll Just Work™

Thanks Charles for the tips! Pretty easy is an understatement  I just took a peak at the code and wrote up a new hack. Although i haven't tested the code, it should work. You can test the v4.0 for ubb6.2 using this hack here: http://test.altereddestiny.net/appformscreenshots/EmailOnReplyv4.0.txt
Let me know if it works, and i'll put it under the 6.2 mods.

You should see it when you reply. If you don't, rehack ubb_new_reply.cgi and public_new_reply_form.pl (I think)

Henry, you should see evidence of the hack if you do the following:
Click 'Post a New Topic' button.
Under the message field box, you should see a dialog box named 'Options'. Within the selectable options, you should see an option named Email Notification: emails sent to you whenever someone replies
If you don't see the option --> rehack.

You're gonna be better off waiting a few days for 6.7, which has this built in...
