St. John's forum words...

I posted a topic, when I got an email, this is what it says.

New message in St. John's testing forum forum.
FORUMDAEMON@mosimos-systems.com [forumdaemon@ucann2.org]


1. What is this
2. Where can I change this?

1. If it's sent by Phorum, then you probably used the "Send replies to this thread to me via email" option.

2. In the control center, you can see the topics that you follow. There you can change the settings for those followed topics.

I see all the above, except, where I can change St John's attribute. I have looked in all the modules, and all over the control center. Is very confusing, as the only setting I see inside th control center is that of Delete and email ('Yes'|'No'); Would this text be hard coded in some where, maybe a module or something?

Ah, I understand now, how can I change it something else?

Doesn't that simply mean that you have a St. John's forum setup? It would be the title for that forum. Or if it's the main title for your forum, then you can change it in the admin interface on the General Settings page. We did not hard code St. John's anywhere.

Actually no, the forum is really just named, testing forum. Hench the testing forum.

[mosimos-systems.com] heres a link, this is open to the public, and you could email, but it would kickback if your not know in the email tag now.

I did flag to email, upon post, but I never set anything to St John's, and have never found anything to be set as St John's. Actually I find it kinda funny, there's a ghost in the software, or my version at least. I have even tried to cat all mod files you know cat * | grep "St John's" and got no results. I'm stumped.

NOTE! I did finally find it... it is located the MOD group_autoemail. This mods allows everyone with rights to the group to get an email, of the post.

If anyone uses this mode, You will definitely Find this useful.

I used a method of strings -af -n4 `find *` | grep John.

It's still funny... Also, Is there a way to modify the name of where the email is sent, so instead of having a replay name of FORUMDAEMON at my co dot com I can change it on the fly... I only ask this, as I'm not to sure of this module programming stuff, just yet.

I downloaded the module and indeed, the St. John text is in the english.php language file for that module. Maybe you could ask the author of the module to remove that from the package's default language filel in the appropriate thread.

it's unclear to me where you see the forumdaemon stuff appear. Is it in the From: header of your mail? Check out the email settings on the general settings page in the Phorum admin. Normally, mail is sent out using the "System Emails From Name" and "System Emails From Address" options on that page. If the mail is not using these, then probably the mailserver changed these during delivery (for reasons that I cannot think of).

Oh, It is using this, I was kinda of curious, which May now in deed be a total different thread now, is if possible to change this on the to an ON THE FLY mode, so if a user got an email from the Help forum, it would state that this email came from help at my co dot com instead of the System Default. I don't know have to go about this. I have posted to the author of the mod in question, to see, if this auto_email group one could do. it.

The from address can be set in the data that is passed to Phorum's email function. So it is possible. But as is the case with many wishes, it has not (yet) been programmed and it needs some configuration extensions for the email group module.

You lost me on that, does this mean, someone needs to put a mod together first, or does this mean it has to be hard coded into phorum. And what can I do to help.
