vBulletin Mods

So I have this completely working in 3.6.4. I'm not sure what other members are having issue with. It correctly identifies bounced email and will automatically move users into the proper usergroup.

I uninstalled the 3.5 version, using the unistall option. Then I reinstalled using GNDI's version a few pages back.

I did make two changes in vbouncer-clean.php.

Replace the send_pm function with the folllowing (properly sends users pms):

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Then find:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

And replace it with (fixes an issue with sending pms and email notices to users who are already bouncing):

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

That is all I've done. I'm also attaching a copy of my settings so you can see what your settings should look like.

To make sure you're setting this up right - first you create the bouncer email address.
Make sure it works.
Setup a usergroup for bounced users.
Uninstall vBouncer.
Install GNDI's vBouncer. Configure vBouncer.
Check the email account (make sure to leave the messages on the server, so connect using imap or a webmail system) and see if you have some bounced emails.

If not, wait.
If you do, run the Scheduled Task for vBouncer Collect.
Look at the cron log, is there an entry for vBouncer Collect? What does it say?
Look at your vBouncer Stats, are there entries there?
Check the email account again. Have the emails been deleted?

Now run the Scheduled Task for vBouncer Clean. Did it give errors or say done?
Check the cron log, is there an entry for vBouncer Clean?

There you go. I may not have time to answer many questions, but I'll try. Good luck!

I try to clean my db after unistall this hack and when I try to install again give me error any way to upgrade this hack so over write old data ?

Any chance of this being ported to 3.6 or if it works on vB 3.6?

[edit]

Works great - thanks LunarTech. Running 3.6.4.

A bit of any unrelated question: when I installed this I was using php mail. I just changed to SMTP mail using -f param Now, the From address is still my default vbulletin admin email, while the "Return-Path" is the vbouncer email. I'm assuming this is correct behavior. But it would be great to not have the default vbulletin admin email as the "from" address though - I always get people replying to post notifications :(

I was using this hack with 3.5.x and I miss it really in 3.6.x.

It there any way to get this working without great manual work on 3.6.x series?
Maybe authour would agree that somebody else ports it to 3.6.x if he have had no time to do it by himself??? :)

Does this work on 3.6?

I checked the whole post. It seems it`s a douzy installing it, but getting it to work on a busy forum, it comes as a plus. It can run with v3.6.x, but there might be incompatibilities.

I've got it working on 3.6.4 for me, using GNDI's version posted earlier in the thread and the instructions posted above by LunaTech. Thanks guys :)

does it work for 3.6.7?

When I accessed install page, it always displayed the mysql error page,it showed that the sql query is not compatible.....

I can confirm that this is working on vBulletin 3.7 with the changes necessary for 3.6.

For some reason the send_pm function is now giving me trouble.

It seems to be the line:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Ideas?

I get the following error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function query_first() on a non-object in /home/xxxxx/public_html/xxxx/includes/class_mail.php(261) : eval()'d code on line 12

using 3.7.1 with the patched version a few pages back and lunatech's edits, i have this fully working on a cpanel/exim server :)

would you mind posting direct links to the posts that mention the correct changes. i see many ideas and its a bit confusing

many thanks in advance ! :)

Hi,
