Forum Subscription Email Notification

[dracoaroch]

Hello!

I have a real quick question concerning the email notification templates for forum subscriptions. How would one send the actual messages with the alerts of new threads when one subscribes to a forum?

By Default, VB software has:

<Introduction>

<Forum Subscribed to>
<New Threads>

<Conclusion and unsubscribing>
<Closing>

I want:

<Introduction>

<Forum Subscribed to>
<New Thread>
<Actual Posts>

<New Thread>
<Actual Posts>

<Modified Thread>
<Actual Posts>

<Conclusion and unsubscribing information>
<Closing>

I have tried using the same variables in the instant post notification template in the forum subscription template, but that causes no notifications to be sent. I have also tried "$postbits", "$newpost[message]" with no luck. Which variable holds this information when processing is performed, and how can I access it with a forum subscription?


(All templates referred to are the ones found under language and phrase settings.)

Thanks in advance

Sorry, there is no function to do this. This requires modifying the code. We cannot officially support code modifications or forums running modified code, however you can try searching or asking for help with this over at www.vbulletin.org.

Just to verify

So, what you are saying is there is no variable that stores the post information at the time that the mail is sent for forum level subscriptions?

What I am saying is that doing what you want to do requires modifying the code. Sorry I didn't make that clear.
