PhotoPost Community - View Single Post - Multiple confirmation emails sent to users

After months of complaining members I have enlisted the help of a friend of mine with much more PHP experience with PHP.

Specifically the issue is multiple emails being sent to users once they upload an ad. What was happening is this:

After uploading an ad, the uploading user would recieve multiple confirmation emails. In my case this could range from 20-50 emails.

Here is why it was happening :

If there are 20 people who have subscribed to a category, then the uploading user gets 20 email notifications while the subscribing members recieve no email.

To correct this issue we edited adm-misc.php starting on line 525. Here is how it read before:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

To fix it we did this:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

I hope this helps others. It's been a major pain in my ass for months now. Since installing the software 8 months ago I have over 2000 ads processed and countless complaints surrounding this issue.
