Author as Sender 1.1 (5.1 and 5.2 ready)

ses the authors name (or optional real name) and email address as sender in the FROM-clause for outgoing emails (user and moderator notifications and private mail).

For user notifications and private mail the authors email address is only used if there exists an email address and if the author allow to show the email address to other users.

Moderator notifications contains the authors email address even if the author
doesn't allow to show the email address to other users.

Since the display name for an email address should contain only ASCII-characters any special character will be replaced by a question mark. See RFC 2822 (http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2822.txt). German umlauts are replaced by there corresponding ASCII-Characters.

Tested on version 5.1.17 and CVS (till revision 1450)

Hello,

I just install this module. I think the sender's email should always be made visible when the email is sent to the moderator.

Is this possible?

Thanks,

Yves

Did you change something? My original version looks like this:

01 <?php
02 
03 if (!defined('PHORUM')) return;
04
05 function mod_author_as_sender_email_user_start($array)
06 {
07 $PHORUM = $GLOBALS['PHORUM'];
08
09 $data = $array[1];
10
11 $author = $data['author'];
12 $email_address = $PHORUM['system_email_from_address'];
13

Regards
Oliver

No ididn't change anything, my looks like this. But here, in my post I did put in as line 12 is a space, and this was not coorect.

[snipe]
5 function mod_author_as_sender_email_user_start($array)
6 {
7 $PHORUM = $GLOBALS['PHORUM'];
8
9 $data = $array[1];
10
11 $author = $data['author'];
12 $email_address = $PHORUM['system_email_from_address'];
13

However the newusers do get their emails. I noticed that this error only happens, when a new user applies.
