Released: 06-15-2006, 06:08 PM

Last Online: 06-20-2007
Hack Version: v1 Installer Included: 0 Additional queries added to database: 0

vB 3.6.0 Compatible!
Plugin
Well, this was asked for by many people (me included ) without ever being done so I recruited some of my more knowledgable friends in php to get the syntax right for the following hack.

It is done with 2 file edits but I'm sure that it could be done with a plugin if someone ever feels the need...


Step 1:
In admincp/email.php find:

You must first be a registered member to view any code.
Directly below it place:
You must first be a registered member to view any code.
Step 2:
In admincp/email.php find:

You must first be a registered member to view any code.
Directly below it place:
You must first be a registered member to view any code.
Step 3:
In includes/class_mail.php find:
You must first be a registered member to view any code.
and replace with:
You must first be a registered member to view any code.

(you may modify this hack at will... No permission needs to be granted)

(additional note: Rex, next time you send an email, you may want to put a bit more info in it... took me ages to figure out you meant this hack!)

Working like a treat in 3.6.0! As about releasing it as a plug-in so as not to hack the code, there's a hook location in includes/class_mail.php but not in admincp/email.php, so maybe that's the reason for hacking necessity.

Anyway great mod, it saves me tens of useless hours trying to integrate some lousy HTML newsletter with vBulletin.

Am I right in assuming this mod doesn't send email using the Multipart/Alternative MIME format? - there's no facility to include a plain-text alternative version of the email.

More on this format:
"You need to send HTML email from your server in “Multipart-Alternative MIME format.” Basically, that means your mail transfer agent bundles your HTML code, PLUS a plain-text version of the message, together into one email. That way, if a recipient can’t view your beautiful HTML email, the good-oldfashioned plain-text version of your message is auto-magically displayed. It’s kind of a nerdy gobbledy-geek thing, which is why a lot of people mess things up when they try to send HTML email themselves. You either need to program a script to send email in multipart/alternative MIME format, or just use an outside vendor to deliver things for you."
