Download: Topic Reply in Email phpBB MOD

This is a mod I made for phpBB 2.0.22. It works for me, and I’d like to get feedback on it. I wanted a way to see what people were saying in the forum before I clicked over to respond. This mod hasn’t been tested for the ocassion when quote tags aren’t closed properly or in some other way mangled.

What this mod does do:

• Include the text of your response in the notification email that is sent to users watching the topic.
• Remove escaped characters and HTML encoding
• Apply email-style quotes with >

What this mod does not do:

• Handle BBcode other than quote tags.

Things you should test before installing this mod to see if the behavior is acceptable:

• Mangled quote tags
• Unmatching/unclosed quote tags
• Various creative posts that might confuse the parsing
