Copy of post to visitor ?

[jaap]

Version of script: 1.7

Hi Henrie,

In version 1.7 I don't see the option to send a copy of the post to the visitor after signing the guestbook ?

Your version had this option.

Jaap.

Hello Jaap,

I thought i could just take the solution out of my HL-mod version guestbook and paste it in version 1.7, but it took a little more modification.

But it is done now.

Hmmm.. nice code. i also use it for my site and its work. thanks to you for sending this code. its my pleasure that if you can give another code for editing. may be that ill easy against it...

[Henrie]

Hello donaldjeo,

You are welcome

I am not sure what additional function you are asking. What would you like to edit?

Greetings,

[asaki]

I have tried this modification in GB 1.7. I cannot get return msg that post is approved or rejected. Btw I think that in approval section part 2 of 4 should be:
$message.= sprintf($lang['hl_t05'],$settings['gbook_title'])."\n\n";
and not
$message.= sprintf($lang['hl_t04'],$settings['gbook_title'])."\n\n"

See language file:
$lang['hl_t04']='Visit the below URL to view your message:';

$lang['hl_t05']='Thank your for signing the %s Guestbook. Your entry is waiting for approval and you will be notified when it has been approved.'; // Text inside e-mail

[Eduspin]

I have the same issue as asaki, changed ['hl_t04'] in ['hl_t05'] as suggested and is an improvement already, but i still don't receive an e-mail when the message is approved or declined. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[Henrie]

Somehow I overlooked Asaki's post. I changed ['hl_t04'] to ['hl_t05'] now in the approval section part 2 of 4.

@Eduspin
I am sorry, but i do not have time to look at the code now to check if it is working or not. I think I tested i thoroughly when I first wrote te code, so I think it should work.

Just to be sure i understand you right, you are talking about the visitor not receiving a mail when you have approved or disapporove the message of the visitor?

Greetings,
Henrie.

Yes, you understand right. Thank you for your reply.
There is no hurry since i can manually send the approval for the time being.
The guestbook is at the moment at a testlocation at the server.
It is going to take a while before it's all as i like it.
When i reply a message the visitor gets an email about it, but not the approval or disapproval email.
Thanks.

Hello Eduspin,

I finally had time to look into the issue of the notification mail of approval or rejection not being sent to the visitor.
I found the error and have to apologise to all who used the code in the past, because i think it may have never worked properly.
The error is in part 3 of 4. I used the following code

Code: Select all

    /* Notification posts to the visitor modification by Henrie >> part 3 of 4: Notification of approval/rejection */
    if (!(empty($email)) && $settings['notify_visitor'] == 1)
    {
      $char = array('.','@');
      $repl = array('.','@');
      $email=str_replace($repl,$char,$email);
      $message = sprintf($lang['t76'],$name)."\n\n";
      if (!$approve)
      {
        $message.= sprintf($lang['hl_t08'],$settings['gbook_title'])."\n\n";
      }
      else
      {
        $message.= sprintf($lang['hl_t07'],$settings['gbook_title'])."\n\n";
        $message.= "$lang[hl_t04]\n";
        $message.= "$settings[gbook_url]\n\n";
      }
      $message.= "$lang[t79]\n\n";
      $message.= "$settings[website_title]\n";
      $message.= "$settings[website_url]\n";

      mail($email,$lang['hl_t01'],$message,"From: $settings[website_title] <$settings[admin_email]>\nReply-to: $settings[admin_email]\nReturn-path: $settings[admin_email]\nContent-type: text/plain; charset=".$lang['enc']);
    }
    /* End of Notification posts to the visitor modification by Henrie >> part 3 of 4: Notification of approval/rejection */

The problem is that this code does not read the e-mail of the visitor properly and therefor can not sent the notification e-mail after approval or rejection to the visitor.
The following code should fix it, use it instead of the previously posted part 3 of 4.

Code: Select all

	/* Notification posts to the visitor modification by Henrie >> part 3 of 4: Notification of approval/rejection */
	$myline = explode("\t",$addline);
	$email = $myline[2];
	
	if (!(empty($email)) && $settings['notify_visitor'] == 1)
    {
	  $char = array('.','@');
	  $repl = array('.','@');
	  $email=str_replace($repl,$char,$email);
	  $message = sprintf($lang['t76'],$name)."\n\n";
	  if (!$approve)
      {
        $message.= sprintf($lang['hl_t08'],$settings['gbook_title'])."\n\n";
      }
      else
      {
        $message.= sprintf($lang['hl_t07'],$settings['gbook_title'])."\n\n";
        $message.= "$lang[hl_t04]\n";
        $message.= "$settings[gbook_url]\n\n";
      }
      $message.= "$lang[t79]\n\n";
      $message.= "$settings[website_title]\n";
      $message.= "$settings[website_url]\n";

      mail($email,$lang['hl_t01'],$message,"From: $settings[website_title] <$settings[admin_email]>\nReply-to: $settings[admin_email]\nReturn-path: $settings[admin_email]\nContent-type: text/plain; charset=".$lang['enc']);
	  }
    /* End of Notification posts to the visitor modification by Henrie >> part 3 of 4: Notification of approval/rejection */

I also applied this code to the original post viewtopic.php?p=12533#p12533 now.

It should work, but if you are having any issues with it, please let me know.

Greetings,
Henrie
