Here's a patch against 3.0.2 to add the option to use a fixed email address when using the forum to mailing-list synchronization.

The patch looks good, but why is it important to have an option like this?

For cases where the mailing-list only accepts mail from subscribed users (which are not always the same as the forum users).
With this option, you can subscribe a single email address for use by the forum to mailing-list gateway.

OK, got it. Mail can go from:
1) user's address -> mailing list's address; or
2) forum's (fixed) address -> mailing list's address.

I'll commit it later. Thanks for the patch!

There's a mistake on line 582 of trunk/install/forum_data/src/imsg_edt.inc.t : you're using $r[2] as the from address instead of $r[3] (which is the fixed_from_address)

Well spotted. Patch was committed as per
http://fudforum.svn.sourceforge.net/fudforum/?rev=5088&view=rev

PS: The patch also contains part of a future MS-SQL patch, but it won't break backwards compatibility.

Hello.

I note this was posted and comitted in Dec 2010, If I downloaded the software recently, Mar 2011, will this have been included as I never realised this was not part of the application when I went for fudforum or do I need to add the file from sourceforge to my installation?

Thanks

There doesn't seem to have been a new release since then so it's not included yet, you need the patches.

I take it I can just put the file from sourceforge in.

Yes, that should work. Download and replace the files. When done, you will have to rebuild the themes.

PS: Backup the old files in case you need to put them back.

Thanks.

Just a minor question ... where exactly should I be putting the file?

I can see the patch is for admmlist.php but the svn one is obviously something else .. I assume used to build admmlist.

Thanks again.

Ignore that.

"forum_data/src/imsg_edt.inc.t" is obvious enough.

Sorry guys. I am a bit lost here (Newbie Blues).

I downloaded the svn file, placed it and ran rebuild all themes but I don't see an option in my mail list manager where to specify a static forum address etc. Do I still need to apply the patch from the OP in addition to the svn file?

Thanks

OK managed to sort myself out. Had previously only looked at the second svn link.
