bridging ecards to phpbb?

[Gephri]

Stramm, if anyone can - it's probably you.
Would you know a way to be able to send CPG e-cards to users already active in a bridged php bulletin board?  They are a little frustrated that they can only send e-cards to outside e-mail addresses - and not to their buddies and usernames in the phpbb.

This would be awsome!

[Stramm]

a nice request... in a free min I'll have a look

[Gephri]

thanks stramm.
i know your extremely busy, so i want to help any way i can.
since i posted this request, i have discovered something -close- to what is hoped for:

But with this - the Admin has to pick allowing EITHER sending ecards via typical email OR sending ecards to phpbb members.

It would be nice to:
- have both
- link to phpbb buddies list

thanks again

[Gephri]

is it possible to get code to send ecards to other phpbb users AS WELL AS to typical outside email addresses?

[Stramm]

should be possible... what is your exact question??

[Gephri]

oh - if anyone has code that allows someone to send e-cards to either a typical e-mail address or to a membername of the bridged board.

[Stramm]

there's an email function cpg_mail(), just search for it and you know how to send emails

how to get the users email addy???

use that function

Code Select Expand

function user_details($id){
global $cpg_udb;
$user_data = $cpg_udb->get_user_infos($id);
return $user_data;
}

call it with

Code Select Expand

$user_data = user_details($id);
you see you just need the user's id to get most of his data... his email addy is $user_data['user_email'], his user  name $user_data['user_name']
