notification of new posts

How can I (as the admin of the phpBB forum module of my PHP-nuke site) be notified via email any time there is a new message posted in the forum?

I installed it according to the directions, and when a user submits a topic to the forum, the following message appears on the page:

Quote: › Warning: netclectic_post_notify(modules/Forums/includes/emailer.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/nseconne/public_html/portal/modules/Forums/mods/netclectic/functions_post_notification.php on line 64

Warning: netclectic_post_notify(): Failed opening 'modules/Forums/includes/emailer.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/nseconne/public_html/portal/modules/Forums/mods/netclectic/functions_post_notification.php on line 64

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: emailer in /home/nseconne/public_html/portal/modules/Forums/mods/netclectic/functions_post_notification.php on line 65

It seems to be a problem with the emailer part of the mod but I can't seem to find the exact problem.

(P.S. -- Any further thought on that proposition I IM'ed you?) Cool

emailer.php is in the <nuke_root>/includes/....some code tweaking will be needed.

Re: the other customizations - I'd love to, but i don't have the time to devote to it right now, sorry Sad

k... I changed the below code in functions_post_notification.php as follows:

Quote: › // replacing include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/emailer.'.$phpEx); with below:
include_once('http://www.nseconnection.net/portal/includes/emailer.'.$phpEx);
$emailer = new emailer($board_config['smtp_delivery']);

I am not getting the emailer errors anymore, but I'm still getting:

Quote: › Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: emailer in /home/nseconne/public_html/portal/modules/Forums/mods/netclectic/functions_post_notification.php on line 66

line 66 is this line: $emailer = new emailer($board_config['smtp_delivery']);

what do I change here?

RE: the other customizations. I can completely understand that you are quite busy with many other things. I thank you for all of the help you are giving me on other things. Is there anyone you'd suggest whom you think could - and would possibly be will to - do that site customization with me?

Thanks!

use:

PHP: › <?php include_once('/home/nseconne/public_html/portal/includes/emailer.'.$phpEx); ?>

Awesome Dari... works better. On the email that is sent out to the moderators, it shows something similar to this:

Quote: › Hello,

The following message has been posted in Favorite Experiences While on Exchange?...

Author : jaredgranier
URL : http://NSEconnection.net/portal/modules ... p\?p=44#44
Subject : what the hell is going on?
Message :
What's up with this test? Did this work?

--------------------------------
--
Thanks,

NSEconnection.net Admin

So I'm now getting the email letting me know of posts on the forum, however when I try to click on the link (like the one above), I get the message "You can't access this file directly..."

I assume this is simply because the forum is a block of PHP-nuke right? Any fix?

yeah, you'll have to tweak the url in the emailer file.
