If you download the zip or copy this code make sure to change the domain.com line to one that works.

 

Code:

private void EmailWrite(string subject, string body)
        {
            try
            {
                //if (this.strSenderMail == null || this.strSenderMail == String.Empty)
                //{
                //    this.ConsoleWrite("No sender-mail is given!");
                //    return;
                //}

                //MailMessage email = new MailMessage();

                //email.From = new MailAddress(this.strSenderMail);

                //if (this.lstReceiverMail.Count > 0)
                //{
                //    foreach (string mailto in this.lstReceiverMail)
                //    {
                //        if (mailto.Contains("@") && mailto.Contains("."))
                //        {
                //            email.To.Add(new MailAddress(mailto));
                //        }
                //        else
                //        {
                //            this.ConsoleWrite("Error in receiver-mail: " + mailto);
                //        }
                //    }
                //}
                //else
                //{
                //    this.ConsoleWrite("No receiver-mail are given!");
                //    return;
                //}

                //email.Subject = subject;
                //email.Body = body;
                //email.IsBodyHtml = true;
                //email.BodyEncoding = UTF8Encoding.UTF8;

                //SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient(this.strSMTPServer, this.iSMTPPort);
                //if (this.blUseSSL == enumBoolYesNo.Yes)
                //{
                //    smtp.EnableSsl = true;
                //}
                //else if (this.blUseSSL == enumBoolYesNo.No)
                //{
                //    smtp.EnableSsl = false;
                //}
                //smtp.Timeout = 10000;
                //smtp.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
                //smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
                //smtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(this.strSMTPUser, this.strSMTPPassword);
                //smtp.Send(email);

                //Make sure to change this line ! ! ! 
                string url = "http://domain.com/mail.php_subject=" + subject.Replace("#", "").Replace("&", "") + "&body=" + body.Replace("#", "").Replace("&", "");

                WebRequest request = HttpWebRequest.Create(url);

                WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();

                StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());

                string urlText = reader.ReadToEnd();

                this.ConsoleWrite("A notification email has been sent.");
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                this.ConsoleWrite("Error while sending mails: " + e.ToString());
            }
        }

Then on the web side of things. I am using WordPress so it already handles email gracefully.

 

This would be inside http://domain.com/mail.php to catch the call from Procon above.

Code:

//Do all your validation and security before calling this function
function notify_me(){
	
	if($_GET['subject'] && $_GET['body']){

		//Put as many emails as you would like
		$to = array('[email protected]','[email protected]','[email protected]');
	
                   //Loop through the emails
		foreach ($to as $email){
		
			// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
			$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
			$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
			$headers .= 'From: Admin <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";

			// Mail it
			mail($email, $_GET['subject'], $_GET['body'], $headers);
		
		}		
	}	
}

I'll look into your code on Sunday and see if I'll integrate it in the latest version.

Most likely you are not running the latest version of this plugin (fixed a few days) back, which makes it disappear with the newest version of Procon.

Looking forward to the email functionality in BF4... it would be pretty useful these days with the rubber banding and endless obliteration games for people to let the admin know. If there is a place to send a donation to for BF4 development let me know!

No, this is not possible.

Hey is there a way of having the pop up notification let you know when a certain player enters the server?

This is to help get a GUID ban on players instead of just using their name which they can change.

Not with current functionality, no.

You might want to use a stats logger for this purpose though, since that is a bit out of the plugin's original use case.

The plugin has been adapted a bit to fully work with BF4.

I've also removed a bug sending the notification-emails twice.

 

Attention: you'll need to re-configure your plugin and delete the old NotifyMe.cs file from all plugin folders since the plugin structure has been changed!

How? What? Why?

Why the hell does it throw an MySQL exception?

 

Could you try and restart your Procon layer?

Yes, it should work with both ! and @ as a prefix.

 

Unfortunately, there's currently no way to get the popup working Would like to have that too...

Yeah, not being a programmer I was curious if it would be feasible to route the notification from the layer back to the client somehow, procon-wise.

That's not possible with the current setup of the layer/client and plugin infrastructure.

I don't think it's an easy fix either, so I guess we're out of luck

EDIT: Email doesn't appear to work, don't get an error either, just plain doesn't send emails.

 

To note, my outgoing uses port 465 (SMTP) requires authentication, is there a special way to handle this?

 

[12:20:36 82] Notify Me!: Error while sending mails: System.Net.Mail.SmtpException: The operation has timed out.

at System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.Send(MailMessage message)

at PRoConEvents.CNotifyMe.EmailWrite(String subject, String body)

 

whenever I use @calladmin test

 

I get "There is no admin currently in game" msg but if I type admins it tells me of course I am in game

Have you enabled SSL?

 

From what I've tested and read online, the SmtpClient provided by the .NET framework doesn't support all types of SSL (see here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/8087206/2987301). For this reason, the SSL connections don't really seem to work very well :-/

 

Could you try switching to a non-SSL connection and re-send the emails?

I set up a generic email thru NFO Servers to send, will try SSL and see if that works, will report back...

I'm unaware of any nonSSL SMTP servers that I have access to.

Yes: My mail server host failed to make a note in the credentials setup that I need to have '@mysite.com' in the username. Which in turn tossed an error at me when the plugin tried to connect.
