Merge Post Notification by PM

[floydpink]

This code allows the administrator to send a PM to a user when their post is merged into another one.
It is based on the excellent Move Topic Notification mod, but is a bit more complex as there are two messages being processed that are automatically ordered by date so the admin needs an option to choose which is the post that was selected to be merged and therefore which user should be sent the notification message.

Note: For clarity the various variables used are created at the start of the above code, but they could be merged into the bottom bit if preferred.

THANKS!

Really appreciate this modification! Had to hack it a bit to get it working (made it a real zipped mod file), but it works like a charm now.

Thanks again!

Did anyone got this working for 2.0 (especially RC5) ??

Did anyone got this working for 2.0 (especially RC5) ??

Ok, I'm trying to port it myself. The template seems ok, but I'm getting this error :

Database error, given array of integer values is empty. (to_members)

I'm adding this in SplitTopics.php :

   if (isset($_POST['postNotify']))
   {
      $PostSelectedForMerge = $_POST['TopicSelectedForMerge'];
      $PostSelectedForMergeMemberID=$topic_data[$PostSelectedForMerge]['started']['id'];
      $PostSelectedForMergeSubject = $topic_data[$PostSelectedForMerge]['subject'];

      // Get Merged Into id
      foreach ($topic_data as $topic)
         if ($topic['id'] != $PostSelectedForMerge)
            $PostSelectedForMergeInto = $topic['id'];
      $PostSelectedForMergeIntoSubject = $topic_data[$PostSelectedForMergeInto]['subject'];
      $mergedIntoId = $id_topic;
      $mergedInto_subject = $target_subject;

      // If you want to Temporarily BCC all PMs to admin to check its working then
      // place the admins memberid in the bcc line below e.g. 'bcc' => array(<memberid of admin>),
      $pmto = array(
         'to' => array($PostSelectedForMergeMemberID),
         'bcc' => array(),
      );

      $pm_subject = $txt['mergetopic_notify_subject'] . $PostSelectedForMergeSubject;
      $pm_subject = un_htmlspecialchars($pm_subject);
      $pm_subject = preg_replace("/'/",'&#039;',$pm_subject);

      $pm_words = array('{merged_subject}','{merged_into_subject}','{merged_topic}');       

      $pm_merge_topic_body = str_replace($pm_words,array(
         $PostSelectedForMergeSubject,
         $PostSelectedForMergeIntoSubject,
         '' . $mergedInto_subject . '',
         ), $_POST['notify']
      );

      sendpm($pmto,$pm_subject,$pm_merge_topic_body);
   }

And that comes before :

   // Notify people that these topics have been merged?
   sendNotifications($id_topic, 'merge');



Any ideas?

I was very patient with bumping, no-one??
