Forum Contact Us extra features
  • Create new thread in a specified forum with message contents.
  • Forward the mail content to multiple email ids

What does the modification do?
If you are the type that likes to read the mails that members on your forum send via contact us form on the forums, then this hack might be for you. I had coded this hack a year back as one of my site has two admin's and we prefer to track the mails we get via new threads on forum that is admin only. Usually if the mail is about advertising or a complaint against some members(both the scenarios are very common) then we prefer to discuss them on forums. A friend of mine wanted similar functionality so am releasing it here

This hack will create an option to duplicate the content of the message that a person sends via contact-us in a new thread in a forum of your choice.
Apart from this it also optionally adds an option to send the mails to multiple email ids apart from the main Webmaster's Email specified in admincp. This can be useful again in a multiple admin scenario or if you want to track forum sendmessage mails in a new account.

How to Install
Import the product file attached.
Go to vbulletin->options->Site Name / URL / Contact Details
Scroll down and see below "Webmaster's Email"
you will see two new options "ContactUs Forum" and "ContactUs Mail Forwards" (In the former enter the forumid where you want new threads to be created, in the latter enter email ids to forward mails to separated by newlines.)
You might want to set a new forum for the mail that is restricted to staff alone.

Enjoy!
