e-mail the comment

[sergey.khodjamirian]

Hi,

Could someone please help me alter the script a little. I want it so that:

When a user clicks submit comment, when making a comment to an entry, as well as putting the comment at the bottom of the display entry page, an e-mail is sent to the admin with the comment and the question ID or link (or something similar).

I have asked a friend to try and alter the code (he knows some php), but I thought that the creators would probably have a quick solution to it.

Thanks!

Sergey

Hi Sergey,

I have asked a friend to try and alter the code (he knows some php), but I thought that the creators would probably have a quick solution to it.

everything is already in place, see savequestion.php .

Locate these lines below in savecomment.php:

Code: Select all

...
    $result = $db->query("INSERT INTO ".SQLPREFIX."faqcomments (id_comment, id, usr, email, comment, datum, helped) VALUES (".$db->nextID(SQLPREFIX."faqcomments", "id_comment").", ".$id.", '".$comment_by_user."', '".$comment_by_mail."', '".$comment."', ".time().", '".$helped."')");

    $tpl->processTemplate ("writeContent", array(
...

and change them to read these lines below:

Code: Select all

...
    $result = $db->query("INSERT INTO ".SQLPREFIX."faqcomments (id_comment, id, usr, email, comment, datum, helped) VALUES (".$db->nextID(SQLPREFIX."faqcomments", "id_comment").", ".$id.", '".$comment_by_user."', '".$comment_by_mail."', '".$comment."', ".time().", '".$helped."')");

    $commentMail =  "User: ".$comment_by_user.", mailto:".$comment_by_mail."\n".
                    "New comment posted on: http://".$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"].$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]."?action=artikel&cat=".$cat."&id=".$id."&artlang=".$lang.
                    "\n\n".
                    wordwrap($_POST["comment"], 72);

    $additional_header = array();
    $additional_header[] = 'MIME-Version: 1.0';
    $additional_header[] = 'Content-Type: text/plain; charset='. $PMF_LANG['metaCharset'];
    if (strtolower($PMF_LANG['metaCharset']) == 'utf-8') {
        $additional_header[] = 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit';
    }
    $additional_header[] = 'From: '.'<'.$IDN->encode($comment_by_mail).'>';
    $body = strip_tags($commentMail);
    $body = str_replace(array("\r\n", "\r", "\n"), "\n", $body);
    $body = str_replace(array("\r\n", "\r", "\n"), "\n", $body);
    if (strstr(PHP_OS, 'WIN') !== NULL) {
        // if windows, cr must "\r\n". if other must "\n".
        $body = str_replace("\n", "\r\n", $body);
    }
    mail($IDN->encode($PMF_CONF['adminmail']), $PMF_CONF['title'], $body, implode("\r\n", $additional_header), '-f'.$IDN->encode($comment_by_mail));

    $tpl->processTemplate ("writeContent", array(
...

That's all .

Regards,
Matteo

Matteo, Thank you very much for the help. My friend actually mentioned something similar. So the comment will be sent with the e-mail?

Hi Sergey,
yes, you should be able to read the text that the admin will receive here:

Code: Select all

    $commentMail =  "User: ".$comment_by_user.", mailto:".$comment_by_mail."\n".
                    "New comment posted on: http://".$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"].$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]."?action=artikel&cat=".$cat."&id=".$id."&artlang=".$lang.
                    "\n\n".
                    wordwrap($_POST["comment"], 72); 

As you can see, you have:

1. The user name and email;
2. The link to the faq record on which the comment has been submitted;
3. the text of the comment.

Regards,
Matteo

Perfect! Thanks!

Hi all,
FYI, this feature request has been commited into PMF 2.0.0 code.

I made this modification. Now what happens is when submit comment is clicked, a blank page shows up with the following in the address:

http://lonvmmldap02/rfpqakb/index.php?a ... avecomment

The comment doesn't get sent to the admin AND it doesn't get added to the bottom of the entry that was commented on.

Is something missing?

Hi Sergey,

Is something missing?

the hack is working as expected on my server @home so could you kindly configure your server to let PHP print out warning and notice errors (this seems to be the same issue as depicted in viewtopic.php?t=2740)?

Ciao,
Matteo
