[YapBB-development] Bugs found in mail.php

[YapBB C. - A. v. d. K. <co...@ya...>]

When viewing a topic, you can click on the e-mail icon to send an e-mail to
someone else with a description + URL of that topic. You should also be able
to add a personal message to that e-mail.. However, a bug in the template
file prevents that. The personal message is simply not attached.

How can a template file impact this? To put it simple, I forgot to include a
hidden field in the form which is to direct the program flow when processing
the submitted form. Because of the absence of this hidden field (with the
topicID value), the wrong action was taken.

I've already taken care of this bug now, but now I'm also experimenting with
a new SMTP mailer class. This is to (optionally) replace PHP's mail
function. This function seems return an unreliable value on some systems, so
that's why I'm looking into this alternative.

Besides this, it seems that mail.php makes 2 calls to _sendEmail(). This
function does not exist, as it is named _sendMail(). :) But because of the
problem described above (wrong program flow), this problem would not
surface.

Along with some other minor changes I've made since the release last
weekend, I think I can release 1.2a (or something like that ;)) pretty soon.
It won't require much testing because the release is mainly focussed on
bugfixes and small code changes.

Well.. there's one new and rather nice feature.. You'll have to make less
'difficult' configuration changes. $cfgBaseDirectory may be left empty (this
will require a bit of testing though) and $cfgDocumentRoot now auto-detects
its correct value. :) I really don't know why I didn't implemented this
before, as it seems like almost 50% of the questions on the demo forum and
in my e-mail is about configuring YapBB. Oh wel...
