Hi all
I am in need of a little Classic -> Threads help. OR maybe just perl -> php help.
I had a fantastic mod on Classic that I just have not had the bandwitdth to re-write for threads.
On my site we let people subscribe to any forum and they can get an email copy of every post to that forum. (Thanks to Josh for the
Instant Subscriptions Mod )
For Classic, I wrote a perl program that lets people reply to the post by email. My ISP supports an email to cgi option that lets you send the content of an email to a perl pgm or php.
In my perl program I stip out the subject (Which happens to include the Forum and Postnumber), the email address of the sender and then parse down to get just the new part of the message.
I check by email address to see if the respondant is registered and not banned. Then add his post.
My plan for threads was to copy some of what the newreply.php script does adding the email parsing stuff upfront and removing any of the interactive stuff newreply does. I still need to bounce a message back to the sender if I can't find his email address or if he's banned or not allowed to reply to that forum. I did that in the original perl pgm.
SO.... If anyone out there feels up for it please give me a shout
HERE (I'm real hesitant to put my email addy here since Josh gets such outrageous GOOGLE spidering and I dont need any more spam) Let me know your rates and availability. I have a few more projects on hold too.
