AutoPM after addBuddy

[Antivirus]

What: This will send an automatic PM to a user after you add him/her to your Buddy List. The PM you automatically sent is saved within your outfolder and the Admin can modify the title and message of the PM by changing the phrases.

1 Product (1 plugin and 2 phrases)

Versions / Features:

1.0.0 - released on 1/9/06

1.0.1 - added automatic approval link into body of PM received by user
added a check to prevent looping of the PM if the receiver already has the sender on his/her buddylist

1.0.2 - added an anti-harassment link in the PM to deter users from "annoying" others into becoming their friends.
added link so receiver of PM can easily view sender's profile.

1.0.3 - cleaned up code and added link for recipient of PM to view sender's profile from within PM

1.0.4 - Fixed bug which was wrongly sending PM to someone when user added someone to his/her ignore list

To Install: Just import the xml file as a product from within AdminCP>PluginSystem>ManageProducts>Add/ImportProduct

To change the title of the PM, edit $vbphrase[anti_autopm_bud_tit], and to change the message of the PM, edit $vbphrase[anti_autopm_bud_mes].

PLEASE REMEMBER TO BACKUP BEFORE YOU INSTALL!

Thanks: Thanks to Andreas for writing the [HowTo] Send PM's Automatically (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=82786). This was inspired by Cloud Warrior's really cool vbFriends (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=101470) hack, which lacked this functionality and it seemed like many people would want it.

about: I'm taking this out of beta, as i think it's working all right by now. Any advice on how to improve this, comments, or bugs - are more than welcome, as I will do my best to address all.

If you use this, please click the install thingie :)

holy crap, I think I will like this and install it for sure, just gimme two secs :)

Wonders, im so happy ;)

[The Chief]

ok, first suggestion, it seems to work fine but you need to allow HTML and PHP so that we can make reference to usernames and link back if you know what I mean.

Here is what i tried to make which will be normal for any users to do is to aprove the new fried request so that they both become new friends.




Hello, I just added you to my Friend List. If you would like to be friends, please add me to yours. Thanks! :)

<a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=addlist&amp;userlist=buddy&amp;u=$userinfo[userid]">Approve $userinfo[username] as your friend!</a>

[Antivirus]

need to allow HTML and PHP so that we can make reference to usernames and link back if you know what I mean.

I was trying to figure that out, without enabling html across the whole boards. But I couldn't figure out how to get the html to display properly, as adding the html in the phrase just causes the html code to be displayed. :(

I'm sure there's a way to get the html enabled just for this specific instance of sending a PM, and not across the entire PM system, i just need to find out how.

It would be nice if there were another field in the PM datanager such as:
$pmdm->set('allowhtml', 1); but no such luck.

I'll try to figure it out... great idea!

[vwturbo]

Good work for your first product. I installed it and quickly tested it and it works just like it should. gamebgs and I were anxiously awaiting this.

thank you, hope it works out great, as it would be cool to use the $userinfo[username] instance in the title also to do something like this...


We would also need some statements like if he approves, do not send a PM, can this be done??

[msimplay]

i used vbuddies plugin and the sendpm doesn't work aswell as this one however it might be worth taking a look at the plugin for it to help with variables it
has a link to their profile in it

Hi there,

I've installed it and it works. I have some suggestions for future versions. I could do them all by myself but I don't have the time at the moment ;)


Possibility to send the pm from a defined user account or from the user who added the recipient. For example: I use a "Bot" to store some external information into the forum. He could also be used to send the pm. Maybe some others would like that, too.
After a quick look on your code, I found there is no check if the recipient already has added the sender to his buddy list. If that happens maybe another phrase should be chosen without a sentence like "If you would like to be friends, please add me to yours", i.e. just "I've added you to my buddy-list" or "User $1 has added you to his buddy-list". Got my idea? :)


If more gets into my mind, I'll post it.

[jj]

thank you, hope it works out great, as it would be cool to use the $userinfo[username] instance in the title also to do something like this...

That's quite easy and a quickie. Here we go:

1) Find in original code


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

2) Replace with

3) Use $1 in the phrases where you like to get the username

wow, thanks for this, but now is there a way to put a link in there somewhere, like I think you should be able since you got this to work...

Like a link of what i posted before for that user to automatically add him (approve)??

thanks!!

[Snoop-It]

excellent hack! using it on my board aswell.. thanks for this!

[Antivirus]

i didn't see any of your new posts until i just got this requested feature added. i was able to use a custom BBcode in order to avoid having to enable HTML in PMs globally, so now the approval link thingie in the PM message body seems to work. Let me know how it works for you.

Just looked into your changes ;) I think if you can use a self-made bbcode you also could use the standard url bbcode so there is no need to add a custom bbcode. You could do that by inserting


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------


into the phrase. For example (a 3rd person message phrase version):


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

Now if you go on with the code I posted above to use the Username in the title and message, we get


Code:
---------------

I haven't tested the above thing and don't know if it works, but you may work it out yourself :) Keep on the learning.

it would be better if it just opened in the same window, but good idea noneless ;)

excellent addition but i have this hack that allows members to choose wether they save a copy of their pms or not and regardless of wether they have it turned on or off it still saves the pm any chance of making it adhere to the savecopy rules ?

Jacobsen and Revan, both of your suggestions work, and great ideas for cutting out having to create the custom BBcode and improving the hack. Revan's idea uses slightly less code but I will experiment with the str_replace thingie (i am not that familiar with it yet).

Working on an update... thanks for the input people!

With specific regards to the IGNORE list, this hack interacts with the ignore list is in the following ways:

If you add user to your buddylist and you are already on user's ignore list, user will not receive the autoPM from you, even though you will see the PM in your outbox.
If you add user to your buddy list, when user receives the autoPM, one of the links within the message of the autoPM gives user the ability to easily add you to their ignore list if they feel you are annoying them, or spamming them with add buddy requests.

yes, and in the title somewhere...

The person will feel that the PM is really coming from that person if you know what i mean, alot are not used to forums, well the ones that join my site anyways and it would be easier for them ;)

A suggestion: If you add a user by adding them directly in the list, also send a private message.

[DivisionByZero]

Ok, let's say John wants to add Mary to his buddy list...

Could this be modified with an admin definable setting to either:

a: require Mary to click an "approve" link BEFORE mary is added to his buddy list?
b: allow John to add mary without her approval (the way it works now).

Could this be done?

ok cool....

I was wanting something like that. i would totally remove the input boxes from the user profile edit page, and then only let them add members from postbits or their profiles. and create some sorta "edit my friends" page where they could remove them :)

When the pm is sent, it shows read pm by the user in my sent pm folder, even though the pm was just sent and the user isnt even on. (Instead of the unread message icon)

I've installed this mod but I'm not seing any PMs being sent when adding people to my buddy list. The added budy isn't receiving a PM and there's no PM in my sent PM folder.

[Nachtfalke]

Seems to work like a charm when you add a buddy through his profile page.
It would be brilliant, if this would work also, if you add a buddy through the buddylist itself. Duplicating the plugin and changing the hook to misc_buddylist_complete seems not to do the trick (forgive me if this sounds stupid, i am not a coder).
Any suggestions?

p.s. - If I am harassing you, you can add me to your ignore list (http://{2}/profile.php?do=addlist&userlist=ignore&u={3}). This will prevent me from sending you any more private messages and you will no longer see any posts or threads by me at {4}.

When a member adds another member to their ignore list, that member gets the buddy PM. Bug, or messed up install?

DO people have to accept before they can be buddy's?

[Antivirus]

When a member adds another member to their ignore list, that member gets the buddy PM. Bug, or messed up install?
I think that's a messed up install or more likely, a conflict with one of your other plugins, this plugin should only send the PM to the member who is added to the buddy list.

DO people have to accept before they can be buddy's?
Yes, they have to accept by either manually adding the sender to their buddy list, or by clicking on the link in the PM which effectively does the same thing.

You are the one who installed this for me ??? I have removed and reinstalled it and it s the same phrase
Bada_bing that pm text in which there is a bbcode in the PM is from version 1.0.0 of this hack. In version 1.0.1 the bbcode was depreciated and replaced with the phrase text which Stangsta cited above. Please redownload the latest version of the plugin (version 1.0.2) above and things should work just fine.

What version of vb are you running? Do you get the error after turning off all other plugins and uninstalling all other hacks?

[futuredood]

does this work for 3.5.4?

[Antivirus]

I don't see why it wouldn't- there's no code to modify, just a plugin so give it a try and if it doesn't, then just remove the plugin :)

I think that's a messed up install or more likely, a conflict with one of your other plugins, this plugin should only send the PM to the member who is added to the buddy list.

I'm getting this same error, but is there something I should look for in the other plugins? Should I re-install the plugin, or should I do something else?

[Antivirus]

This bug has been fixed in the latest version (1.0.4) of this hack. Now, the PM no longer sends when adding someone to the ignore list, only when adding to buddylist. (thanks for pointing this out dain and cold)

Do you get the error after disabling all other products/plugins and uninstalling all other hacks? To the best of my knowledge, the current version of this plugin (v1.0.4) has any previously-confirmed bugs fixed and is working fine on clean install of vb 3.5.x.

[soletrader]

Where do I got to fix this $vbphrase[anti_autopm_bud_tit] ?

[criscokid]

All of the phrases are in the XML file that you upload so you need to make your edits before uploading it.

[Antivirus]

Where do I got to fix this $vbphrase[anti_autopm_bud_tit] ?

I would actually suggest not modifying the xml file, as you may accidentally modify something else. Instead, you can edit it through your AdminCP> Languages&Phrases> SearchInPhrases. On the top box, enter anti_autopm_bud_tit into the Search for Text field, and for "search In.." click the Phrease Variable Name only button. then click find and you'll be able to edit ithe translation for the phrase.

Is there a way for admins and moderators to be excused from sending PM to members when they are added? For example if me the admin adds a members to my buddy list I want the option to not send a PM to that member. We use this on my other board to watch potenial trouble makers when they are online and offline and I dont want them receiving a PM from my staff saying that he is now added to my buddy list.

[Antivirus]

Nicedreams, I have not yet upgraded to 3.6 so I can't say when this will be ported. Currently Its only been tested on 3.5.x series.

Badabing, I think I can add your request to my wish list for the next update, can you explain again in more detail please?

If I offer $ can we get a 3.6 version? My users really love this feature so they know when they have friend requests.

I appreciate the offer, but i'll post the update for free when I upgrade my forums to v3.6. It's more about me not having the time yet to look deeply into what changed within the code of 3.6, but rest assured, I will definitely be upgrading within the next few months.

[zeroality]

Hi, any plans to port this to 3.6?

Edit: Nevermind, just saw your post above. Great, look forward to it.

[Erwin]

Yup, they changed the way buddylists are handled in 3.6. I'll take a closer look later to see if I can make it work.

[GrendelKhan{TSU]

loooking forward to this once the upgrade is done. very straightforward and useful mod. :)

[Erwin]

Hang on a minute...

[Erwin]

Okay, to get this to work in 3.6, you can replace the whole plugin with the following code - not the most elegant, but it works for me:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

[JoeWho]

Erwin,

Thanks for updating it to work with 3.6... I changed the code in (Product : AutoPM after addBuddy by Antivirus) and tested it ...but it did not send the user I added to the buddy-list a PM, any suggestions?

Thanks!

[Joep11]

Changed the plugin but not working here either on 3.6!

Anyone PLease

[Antivirus]

I could add a setting within the AdminCP which would give Admin the option of preventing the PM from being sent if sender is member of usergroup "x".

[JoeWho]

Antivirus,

Can you give me some help in fixing it so it will work with 3.6?
If you could tell me what to look for... I think I could fix it. I installed it and do not get any errors so I don't where to look.

Thanks.

Can you tell me how to check it? I add someone to my buddy-list and no-PM to them. I don't receive any errors so I don't know where to look.

I am not a coder but I can hack my way through most things.

Thanks.

This hack currently only works for version 3.5.x. When I am ready to upgrade my sites to 3.6.x, i'll work on porting over the hack, but until then it's only for 3.5.x.

[bada_bing]

Any update to this

Well, I was hoping somebody would help me with the problem I was having, but I guess not. That won't stop me from helping someone else.

I'll post what I figured out in a few minutes, let me pull the information.

Please keep in mind that this is only a temporary fix, it is not the best way of doing it, but it does work.

[JoeWho]

This is a export of the plug-in that works on my system, you can open it up and see the changes I have made.

The best part about this is... when Antivirus gets around to updating this the correct way, all you will have to do is reinstall and overwrite what is already there.

I hope this will help you.

[Krofh]

^ Trouble with that is it only works when you click on the link from someone's profile, not when you just add someone through the actual buddylist page.

[robert_2004]

QUESTION & FEATURE:
in the PM, does it allow the user to disallow / delete the friend request?
Say "adam" adds "lucy". lucy gets a PM saying she's been added, and also allowing her to add him.
in that PM, Lucy should receive a link to delete the friendship from occuring - because maybe shedoesn't want to be even seen on his profile.

[Antivirus]

QUESTION & FEATURE:

Please keep in mind that this hack has nothing to do with "friend requests". You might be confusing this hack's functionality with Cloudwarrior's vbfriends hack (which was what inspired this hack). This hack simply sends a PM to "user 2" when "user 1" adds "user 2" to his/her buddy list. To answer your question, when "user 2" receives the PM, he/she is able to either add "user 1" to his/her buddy list, or if "user 2" feels "user 1" is harassing, add "user 1" to his/her ignore list.


Any updates to when you will add this feature or are you going to abandon this hack?
I will not be abandoning this, and I will be updating this to 3.6.x sometime after I fully upgrade my sites to 3.6 which I am currently in the process of doing so.

This works well. I had to make a change so that it wouldn't send a PM to yourself if you added yourself to your own buddy list. It was causing a hell of a lot of confusion when testing this (I'd add a buddy, check my sent pm's, read the one that was sent to my new buddy, and click the "add me too" link...which would add myself to my own buddy list and then send me a new PM. If this sounds confusing...err..yea, it is. :))

However, there is a problem I've found where this sends the PM/Email (if they have the option enabled to receive new PM's via email) before they're actually added to the list. And there's no checking to see if a PM has already been sent. So, I was able to go to the "Add Buddy" screen, hit refresh 50 times, and mail myself off 50 emails. Not good.

Trying to figure out a fix for this. Anyone have any ideas?

[delaen1]

Oh, I see. These problems were already fixed in the prior version. Anyone know what's causing it not to work with 3.6?

[Kihon Kata]

Why doesn't this work with 3.6.4?

[delaen1]

Why doesn't this work with 3.6.4?

It seems the hook it was using was removed or renamed (at least I can't get it to fire ever).

The replacement that someone suggested earlier fires before the person is actually added to the buddy list, which creates a situation where it can be continuously spammed. With a little tweaking it can work just about the same way, but I can't figure out a solution to that problem.

[Antivirus]

I'm finally upgraded to v3.6.4 so i'll be working on an update for this soon. Thanks for your patience :)

[bada_bing]

Can someone fix this hack so that admins & moderators can be excluded from the PM. What I mean is if you are a mod or an admin and I add a member to my buddy list I dont want that person to receive the notice PM, This is usefull when you are monitoring a member and dont want them to know the staff has added them to their buddy list...

I am currently running this version of the hack on 3.6.5. Unfortunately, it is 50% useless since it doesn't send out a PM when the user adds someone to their buddy list without going through the profile or postbit first.

Has anyone been able to rectify this? If so I would be grateful, as this is something I'm quite dependant of.

(Also: please make sure that "private message" in the title, etc. "PM" is too short for vB.xxx search.)
