[Request] Automatically send PM to topicstarter when topic is moved or renamed

[Smethead]

Nice. Sorry for replying so late, but school was busy and installed it just 2 days ago because of that. It looks very nice except from one little problem I have.

The problem is related to the PM templates. The variables that you can use to generate links to the topic aren't right on my board.


Move templates:
{1} = [ url=http://showthread.php/?tid=TID]THREADTITLE[/url ]
{2} = [ url=http://forumdisplay.php/?fid=FID]OLDFORUMSECTION[/url ]
{3} = [ url=http://forumdisplay.php/?fid=FID]NEWFORUMSECTION[/url ]

Rename templates:
{2} = [ url=http://showthread.php/?tid=TID]NEWTHREADTITLE[/url ]

There is nothing wrong with THREADTITLE, OLDFORUMSECTION, NEWFORUMSECTION, NEWTHREADTITLE, TID or FID. But as you can see, the domainname is missing in the url links and showthread.php/forumdisplay.php is in the wrong place.


I don't know if others have this problem too. Looks easy to fix, just place *.php behind the last slash and use the Board URL in front of that. I didn't take a look at your source yet to see if my board is just acting strange or if you mixed things up a little. I'm currently running my board under Windows IIS btw, that might have something to-do with it.

Yes, I've noticed that problem too. Here is a fix:

Thanks again, got it working now.

I've modded mine to do this itself, but I thought it would be a good idea to be able to set the "sender" of the private message. You should also put this on the mod site

A fix:
Thanks to MenthiX, I now know the reason for the bug reported by destroyer in here
I fixed it, and the attached file should work. You just have to replace the plugin file with this one. You don't have to deactivate and reactivate the plugin.

I've modded mine to do this itself, but I thought it would be a good idea to be able to set the "sender" of the private message.

I don't think that's a good idea. Now, the user can see who has edited or deleted or moved his thread and maybe ask for an explanation.

You should also put this on the mod site

I always forget that. I'll do that now.

Well, its a tad buggy then. Before I made my custom changes my users had reported that the senders where random users. I tested it myself and also found out that it seemed to be coming from random users, so I changed it to "RCT3XServ". Our bot for our forums.

I think you should give the option to set a user, else it would act as it is in the current script.

Anyways good job with the script

That bug has been fixed. I have made a setting in which you can select the UserID. It still needs some testing and then I'll release it.
