Hello,

I've built a module which references the forum module dlls.  This module simply posts a thread using code similar to that found in Forum_PostEdit.ascx function PostToDatabase.  Will the SendForumMail function (DotNetNuke.Modules.Forum.Utils.SendForumMail)  send an email to the individual that a forum post as been made, or only to people subscribed to the forum?

Thanks in advance,

Ben

Do you use Oracle?  Then try GoldFish.Net

Hi Chris,

Great point, I have the notify flag set to true ( bNotify=true).  I believe that the SendForumMail should send everyone subscribed to that thread a message correct? 

Sorry I know this is alittle hard without seeing all of the code, I really only took a very small amount of code since I only need to be able to start a thread from another module.

iNewPostID = ctlPost.PostAdd(0, iForumId, CType(_tPostUserId, Integer), tRemoteAddr, bNotify, _tSubject, _tBody, bIsPinned, dtPinnedDate, bIsClosed, _Image, _MediaURL, _MediaNav, _ObjectTypeCode, _ObjectID, _tFileAttachmentURL)

Hi Chris,

I first call the PostAdd, with the Notify option, then I call the SendForumMail function, after creating the mail url string.

The below example uses the hard coded mail to string.

            iNewPostID = ctlPost.PostAdd(0, iForumId, CType(_tPostUserId, Integer), tRemoteAddr, bNotify, _tSubject, _tBody, bIsPinned, dtPinnedDate, bIsClosed, _Image, _MediaURL, _MediaNav, _ObjectTypeCode, _ObjectID, _tFileAttachmentURL)
            _emailType = ForumEmailType.PostAdd

            tMailUrl = "http://mysite.com/Workshop/tabid/60/forumid/-1/threadid/" & iNewPostID.ToString & "/scope/posts/Default.aspx"

            SendForumMail(iNewPostID, tMailUrl, _emailType, "Forum Post Created")
