This highly requested mod sends an email to all moderators of the forum whenever a new topic is created or a reply is posted in the forums they moderate. The moderators receive the email only once. Moderators do not receive email when they are the ones making the posts..


Tested on Snitz Forums 2000 Version 3.1 Service Release 4 only.. Tested only using CDONTS

No Demo available as I am behind a firewall..

Installation Instructions..

Step 1) Add the functions getMemberEmail and listForumModeratorEmails to inc_functions.asp

Step 2) Replace subroutines DoReplyEmail and DoEmail in post_info.asp with the modified routines below. These routines were modified to send the special moderator email.

Step 3) Add the Subroutine DoTopicEmail to post_info.asp somewhere near DoEmail. This routine sends an email when a new topic is created.

Step 4) Add the line DoTopicEmail txtSubject, rs("MEMBER_ID"), Request.Form("UserName") to post_info.asp in the section if Request.Form("Method_Type") = "Topic" then directly after the first My_Conn.Execute statement. This is line 473 in my code.. THis is necessary to execute the DoTopicEmail code.

Here are the necessary functions and subroutines.......

Couple Questions...

Can you turn this feature off if a moderator doesn't want to get email?
Can this be setup for Admins to get emails also? and be able to turn it off?

Good questions Rick,

I'm curious if this can be set to specific forums as well.

Looks, like a good one though!!! Good job!

Ok, I read your instructions a little more carefully... I see that it works on moderators of the forum that they moderate. If one has multilple moderators then an email will be sent to each moderator, correct?

Is this basic guideline for ALL forums -- or can one control which forum this affects?

Cheers!

Hi Rkimball,
I would really like to use your MOD and the one that sends an email to a user when a reply is posted. The only thing is I can't get it to work. I've tried using ASPEmail and Jmail and now I want to try CDONTS but I don't have the slightest clue as to how to install it. I'm also running the PC behind a firewall. It's a Win NT4 PC with IIS 4 installed. I don't remember the option I chose during the installation but that was long before I saw this wonderful forum. Now I want to install CDONTS and SMTP but can't find where. I run the NT 4 Option Pack setup again and chose Add/Remove but couldn't find anything that had to do with SMTP to install. and also not in the parts installed already. The PC I'm running the forum on also does not have an eamil client installed but I don't think that's needed to send an email from an asp page. In the email server config in admin options, I've tried using the company's email server but it doesn't seem to work or I might be adding the wrong server name(?). Could it also be that the server is not allowing emails generated from the asp pages to go thru?
Maybe you can shed some light on what I might be doing wrong.

Hope you can help.Regards
Twum

Hi, I really like your mod!
Only problem I have is that it doesn't seem to send emails properly? Even tho I have my host set to a different server than the web server the forum is running on, I still get mail failures in the BadMail directory of the web server?

Other emails sent from the forum work fine, it's just the moderator topic emails that are failing...?

Am I doing something wrong?

Has anyone else successfully applied this mod to their forum -- in particular a production forum that is operating?

Just curious before I jump in...

Cheers!

Wow... two days and no responses... I guess that means no one has implemented this?

I am currently attempting to upgrade. I find it difficult to note where the DoReply section ends in ther current Post_info.asp page.
This is the error message I'm recieving.
Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript compilation (0x800A0400)
Expected statement
/tally/post_info.asp, line 1196
end if

-----------------
From the error you can gather I'm not a hardcore coder. I've list a portion of the file showing where I have pasted the code from this website. If someone would be able to take a look at it and tell me where the error lies that would be great.
