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!
a nice request... in a free min I'll have a look
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:
Send ecards to phpBB Members
open

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
is it possible to get code to send ecards to other phpbb users AS WELL AS to typical outside email addresses?
should be possible... what is your exact question??
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.
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
function user_details($id){
global $cpg_udb;
$user_data = $cpg_udb->get_user_infos($id);
return $user_data;
}
call it with
$user_data = user_details($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']
