 |
|
I have recently taken over as Administrator of the phpbb2 (2.0.22) forum run by the Bentley Drivers Club.. I find that I get notification of new posts correctly but that other members don't even if they are watching relevant topics and have looked at all the previous ones.
I have NuSphere phpED on my local computer but have not been able to find out what is going on since phpbb2 on localhost with phpED does not seem to send emails and I can't currently put phpED on my server.
I expected to find some code in phpbb2 which picks up members watching particular posts and sending emails but I can't seem to find it. Can anybody tell me where it is?
Regards
Laurie Fox

Hello and welcome, Ms. Fox.
|
Patrick
My first name always seems to be a bit of a problem. Some people seem to think that it indicates a French origin and some are uncertain as to whether I am male or female. Actually I was born as a normal male and have remained that way for 95 years so far which can't be bad.
But back to the problem I wrote about. Firstly it seems that this phpbb2 forum does work as intended since I did get, as an ordinary registered member, an email notification that your post had been made. So the code I am enquiring about must be in your phpbb2 and working correctly.
I would much appreciate getting hold of that part of the code. The fact that it is not there is not a major shortcoming as the Recent Topics mod which I installed a few weeks ago goes a long way to providing useful information to those Bentley Drivers Club members who don't log in frequently.
There is also another problem (which may be connected with this one) in that the "email via the board" feature does not work properly as between registered members although it does work (partly) as between a registered member and an administrator.
I am hoping to solve the first problem first and then think about the second. I have the latest copy of phpED on localhost but not on the server that I currently use. Perhaps if I were to move to a dedicated server I could put it up there. Maybe in due course.
The Bentley Drivers Club forum is at www.bdcl.org/forum . Most of the forums are viewable by members of the public and they can post via non-member-postings. Have a look if you feel inclined.
Regards
Laurie |

Hello sir! 
Open includes/functions_posts.php and look for the following:
| Code:
|
//
// Handle user notification on new post
//
function user_notification($mode, &$post_data, &$topic_title, &$forum_id, &$topic_id, &$post_id, &$notify_user)
{
... // function content ...
}
|
This is probably what you're looking for!
Hope this helps! |

If some members are not getting notified the first thing they need to check is that their email address is correct within their profile and the second is that their email client allows emails to be received from the board.
It may be the emails are being treated as spam by their client and are being discarded.

Patrick and HG
Thanks for the posts. Code exploration is under way with phpED and will, no doubt, yield results in due course. I will report back when I have got a bit further.
Regards
