I have a political and News related board.
I just thought that it would be nice to have a function to allow a modified version of Active Threads/Topics that would email the last 5,10, or 25 topics to the members overnight or throughout the day. I have a modified version of the script running via SSI on my front page.
I think this hack should have an "opt-out" or option to "unsubscribe" or "subscribe" upon registration to comply with spam laws, and to have choices of times to be emailed in "preferences" along with the opt-out.
My PERL skills suck, but I can do the html mods to the CP script and the "preferences" part of ubbmisc.cgi.
The mod to active.cgi would have to write the topics and links to them in text since not everyone has html enabled email.
I believe this hack would be beneficial to many boards out there no matter what subject matter they focus on.
This should be compliant with 5.39-5.47e too.
So, what do you all think??
My modified active.cgi can be seen here:
