Hi Robert,

1. Phorum developers add attachment support to the send_mail hook (my preferred solution).

Hoping that this solution get grace from the Phorum developers I prepared a BETA version of my Mailing List Module which supports attachments.

Please take care that you have apply the following patch:

Patching Core Function:

The core mail function doesn't support attachments. If you want to send attachments you have to patch
include/email_functions.php:

Open the file and search for (starting line 241):

        $hook_data = array(
            'addresses'   => $addresses,
            'from'        => $from_address,
            'subject'     => $mailsubject,
            'body'        => $mailmessage,
            'bcc'         => $PHORUM['use_bcc'],
            'messageid'   => $messageid
        );

Replace this block by:

        $hook_data = array(
            'addresses'   => $addresses,
            'from'        => $from_address,
            'subject'     => $mailsubject,
            'body'        => $mailmessage,
            'bcc'         => $PHORUM['use_bcc'],
            'messageid'   => $messageid,
            'attachments' => $data['attachments']
        );

Please feel free to test it.

Regards
Oliver

Since it needs a lot of sensitiveness to know how your Phorum developers like to solve things (so my experience) I prefer to ask you first. My "patch" was just for Robert to give him the opportunity to test my besta version of the Mailing List Module.

@Robert: Test successful?

Regards
Oliver

I made the changes to email_functions.php around line 241 and installed the beta version of the module and did a test post with an uploaded picture, and it did not work.

I am wondering if it is because Embed Attachments is enabled, and a bbcode type tag gets inserted into the body of the message where you want the image or link to appear.

I'll test it out with something else again tomorrow. I am about to fall asleep.

Sorry it took so long to get back. I've been really busy at work.

The Embed Attachments Module (version 1.0.1) is also enabled in my test environment.

Please enable the Event Logging Module too, my beta version writes some debugging information about attachments to the log. And have a look to Sanity Checks.

Hi Thomas,

thanks for this awesome looking module. It looks very promising, but I look for a specific functionality:
I have an mbox from mailman and want to import it, I saw only pop functionality, is there a way to feed an mbox file to your module? Or mail by mail manually, but not through pop?

Thanks,
Ulrich

I guess you posted in the wrong thread and were talking about the external phorummail module. The external phorummail can only import from imap or pop. If you can hook up your mbox to some imap server you can import it too.

Great module, but..Can't I use tildes?

Claro que sí.

I'm using my Mailing List Module with a german forum, so we have a lot of german Umlauts. No problem.

Perhaps it's a problem with your character set in your language file. I think you have to use utf-8.

Hola de nuevo :D

Pero no sé como solucionarlo :P

Could be a solution, to take german.utf-8, and translate to spanish from there?

Cheers ;)
