Hello,
My company runs Finland’s most visited website at iltalehti.fi. We also have a discussion forum (vBulletin 3.8.2) with millions of posts overall.
Due to changes in local legislation we now have to make some changes to the report post feature. I have understood that vBulletin has a built-in feature for sending an email to administrators and moderators when users report a post (e.g. a post that contains an illegal threat against someone). From now on when a user reports a post she should be able to get a confirmation email for herself, i.e. to an address that this person has specified in the report post form.
The person who was previously in charge of the technical side of the discussion forum has left the company and now I’m stuck trying to figure this out knowing almost nothing about vBulletin. I managed to add a text field for the email address and find the PHP handler for the form. But I would greatly appreciate any help if you guys knew how I could make vBulletin send a confirmation email not only to the moderators, but for this specific email address as well.
A built-in feature is probably preferable, but I’ll edit the PHP handlers as well if necessary.
Thanks so much for any help,
Best Regards,
Vesa Tähkävuori, web developer
