I've written a module that takes every post made to an installation of phorum and emails it to somebody. This is useful if you have a mailing list of users who want to be emailed messages, want to keep a copy of everything posted, or simply are like me and don't want to have to read the forum to know whats going on. :)

I use it as an admin to be alerted on the road, where I can read email but not easily follow a message board.

To install, simply extract it into the "mods" directory and configure it from within the Phorum Admin. The "From" information in the email is taken from Phorum's system email settings.

You should consider this beta code. It works for me, but hasn't been tested by anybody else.

ps - First Post! ;)

It works great.

can you reply to the board through email?

No. That would require Phorummail, which isn't in Phorum 5 yet. All this does is email out copies of posts.

New version.

Added: Status line now shows if a post is approved or not at the time of mailing. (will always be yes in an unmoderated forum, almost always be no in a moderated one, and may be both if mod_preapproval is in use)
Fixed: added stripslashes() calls so that the subject is not escaped. That looks really dumb in an email.

I will probably write PhorumMail as an add/on and reference this module for sending email.

Is it possible to make the emails go to different email addresses based on which forum the post was made?

eg.
forum_1 messages go to forum1@domain.com
forum_2 messages go to forum2@domain.com

Hmmm, yeah, for Phorummail to be useful, that will need to happen. When I write Phorummail, I will modify this Module if it has not been done already.

And now it does.

Added:
- You can specify an email address for each forum individually. These addresses will get the email in addition to the main address which gets them all.
- The main email address *should* be optional now. I haven't tested this very well yet.
- The emails now include the name of the forum the post is in.

If you have a main email address and a forum specific one, both addresses will get a copy of the message.
