Putting all the email messages in a separate file would quite a nice idea.
If you had one variable per message with [field] boxes in the spaces where the changable data would be inserted.
It would then sort of like a template system, which would allow people to easily customise all their email messages.
For example:
admin_accounts_pending.asp
Message 1
Hello [MemberName]

Sorry? Why doesn't this go in the Snitz database?
This is valid for LCID=1033, but unless the original distribution contains messages for all possible LCID, there must be a way to include these messages in the distributed language pack (written by people), or an installation mechanism to take these values from language files and insert records into the database.
Anyway we have another problem here, some of the e-mails are constructed by if-then-elese constructs... You either need to put all possible messages, or you will need to write a parser to take care of if/then/else...
I'll need to think more on this...

This was exactly what I want to do, if we can solve installation & conditional cases...< |

Here is a way to do it: A config page to specify all the messages in the chosen language(s) of the forum admin, that would write and read them from the database, associated with each LCID. I see this is as the most flexible method and it wouldn't have the negative impact that we've discussed about using the database for the language strings used in the overall forum interface.
Downside to this: the "inconsistence" between specifying all the other strings in a lang file and these in the database. It's more of a philosophycal downside than a matter of serious concern, IMHO.< |

Here are the parameters that can be used in e-mail messages:
- STRFORUMTITLE (global variable, can be language dependent, must come from LCID database)
- STRFORUMURL (global variable, OK)
- MEMBERNAME (the receivers name, various sources, must be parameter)
- MEMBERNAME2 (any other membername, must be parameter)
- MEMBEREMAIL (the receivers e-mail address, must be parameter)
- MEMBEREMAIL2 (other member's e-mail address, must be parameter)
- ACTIVATIONKEY (various sources, optional, must be parameter)
- KEY (calculated, must be parameter)
- PASSWORD (must be parameter)
- TOPICNAME (must be parameter)
- TOPICID (must be parameter)
- FORUMNAME (must be parameter)
- FORUMID (must be parameter)
- CATEGORYNAME (must be parameter)
- CATEGORYID (must be parameter)
- MSG (must be parameter)
Additionaly, strRecipientsName, strRecipients, strFrom, strFromName has to be parameter.
The messages (all combinations) will follow file by file... The first bold line is the Subject...
