They/I would like to see the forum users name/email address somewhere inside the body text so they can say “Hi Peter, good to hear from you, I think I can answer this one…” I’ve searched within FUDforum for documentation of how to format posts to include posters names etc. to no avail.
This seems to work. Go to forum/theme/default/post.php and find the line:
if (!empty($r[3])) { // Use the forum's fixed "From:" address.
After it add words to the following effect:
$body .= "\n-- \nThis message was sent via the web forum by $from";
You should get a footer along the lines of:
This message was sent via the web forum by Name <email address>
Which will be followed by the Mailman footer.
In reality for membership intergration between the two I suspect I wouldn’t be first in the queue currently as I have several hundred subscribers both places, with significant overlap between them!

If I manage to solve this how about I mention it here but post the detail on the FUDforum website?

Hi Jon, brilliant. Works exactly as it says on the tin. I’m guessing however it will be overwritten with the next patch, but I can live with that. In this life I am a user rather than a contributor I’m afraid, is there a way of putting that at the top such as “Tim Walter wrote on the forum…”
As to the integration I suspect both places seem sensible, I hang out in both.
(Sorry to have slightly hijacked the mailman list for FUDForum stuff, though hopefully moderately relevant.)
