PM to EMAIL

[238drac]

As the Admin I do not want to receive PM's but i would like to have the pm sent to me as an email.

I was wondering if there might be a code that would convert a PM to an email?

Perhaps a code to mask the pm button so it will trigger the email routine instead?

Go to your Private Message panel, click on Preferences at the top right, and then select "Yes" where it says "Do you wish to have an email sent to you when a Personal Message is received?".

You'll still get the private messages, but you don't have to read them.

That is NOT a solution to the problem i posted

Hi,

sorry, but i'm afraid this isn't possible.

not so fast there Richie...

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
for (lnks=document.getElementsByTagName('a'), i=0; i<lnks.length; i++) {
if (lnks.href.match(/action=pmsend&to=admin/i)) {
lnks.href="mailto:[e-mail]";
}
}
// -->
</script>


some people probably wont like having to email you instead of just PMing you, however, so dont hold me responsible for ill-effects.

Actually I might be able to do this for you how you want it (to where it is still using a PM-esque form). It may take a bit though

oh.. maybe I misread that then. I thought he just wanted it to bring up the email form instead of a PM form...

i just made it look as if a pm were being sent (with a note to the user that it is a different form to stay within the tos). the default email form tends to dissuade some users (at least me) from using it.

I zipped up the codes for you. There's a JS file that you add to your main footer, and a PHP file which does the actual sending (its hosted on my website, i'll let you use a page on my website for free unless you have tons of emails a day).

The files are:

dntresources.com/pb/scripts/238drac/238drac.txt (MAIN FOOTER, EDIT FIRST TWO VARIABLES)
dntresources.com/pb/scripts/238drac/238drac.php (HOSTED ON MY SITE, the email sender. no need to click on it)
dntresources.com/pb/scripts/238drac/238drac.zip (contains both two files)

If you have your own website or your own host that supports PHP, let me know and I can customize it for you a bit. If not the code should work fine. All you need to do is paste the .txt file into your main footer and change the first two variables. let me know if you need help

nice work!

was a pain to be honest - but I like the challenge. going back and forth between JS and php is no fun, I was using + as the concatenation symbol in PHP and vice versa. s'all good though, I enjoyed it.

Thanks guys, I will get to trying this out shortly.

(Not sure if I need to make a new thread, but want to use the same idea but, have it where it would send any member an email that they have a pm on the site)
