Solved Sending emails when someone quotes on a post

I didn't know the answer. I asked someone to tell me. Why didn't you tell us you found this? :S

Hi Sozzled,

My apologies, after taking so long to find it I then had to get the hack in place as it had become quiet urgent.

Sorry about that.

Have you got a working solution? :dry:

Hi Sozzled,

This was a quick and nasty hack but basically we accessed the message and checked for the following text

$findquote = strpos($this->message, "[quote");

if it did we just extracted the user name from the message then got their email address from the database and sent a custom email.

$finduser = substr($this->message, ;
$finduser = str_replace('"',"~",$finduser);
$findend = strpos($finduser, "~");
$user = substr($finduser, 0, $findend);

// access user object to get users email address
$userobj = JFactory::getUser($user);
$useremail = $userobj->email;

Cheers
Rich
