Report to E-Mail

[MrPresident]

Here is a little thing I worked on tonight. It's been an idea I've had for a while but some recent changes to gmod's http functions as well as a little free time made it come together.

Let me know if this is something that interests you guys and I can package it for use on other servers.

--------------------------------------------------------

The idea is that you can type !report (report in console) and it'll open a small GUI for sending automated reports to a predefined e-mail. (myself I have a distro that sends it to all my admins).

Did you send mail using http.post?

[Storm]

I am interested!

[MrPresident]

Yes Cobalt. Rather I sent information to a web script which sent email using php mail().

Ah, alright.

[Neku]

This is actually quite interesting. Please do release this.

[Digital Spit]

You should make it take a screen shot too! That'd be amazing!

[Zmaster]

This sounds great, you should definitely release it for other servers to use!

[MrPresident]

There's nothing to release yet. That was just a tech demo showing capability.

Since it seems to be something you guys would use, I will work on polishing it up and adding features to it.

This is really great! I was just thinking of something like this and thought I'd check out the forums. What would be really great is if you could remove the option of the player typing in text all together and instead replace it with a pre-configurable list.

I tried to recreate this and I have it functional, but it isn't as nice as the one being showed in your screenshots.

and with that more ideas arriving, it could be possible to add all ingame report's to some pool and having a desktop app that notifiys the admins P:

I really like S's preconfigurable list idea. It will keep trolls from repeatedly sending profanity,etc to the email. Also, maybe a time/#msgs limit to keep players from spamming it.
