The code is used/inspired by the challenges module (this one is changing the settings table too - it has options). 

I updated some things, please, try again. If you have still errors, can you run these queries manually in PHPmyadmin? 

- change your prefix

this is to check if that field already exists or not 

SHOW COLUMNS FROM " . TABLEPREFIX . "fanfiction_settings LIKE 'notifications'

This one adds that field:

ALTER TABLE `" . TABLEPREFIX . "fanfiction_settings` ADD `notifications` TEXT NOT NULL default ''
 

Thanks a lot and sorry for the trouble.

Cause its not installing.

It gave me something like it couldn't create the table for the module.

Notification module added and inbuilt functionality:

- send email about new registered user with direct profile link (thanks Jaded for this idea)

- send email about user asked for new password

You can set those notifications on/off.  Multiple emails (separated by comma) are allowed and tested.

How to use:

- standard module (upload only those files)

- update user/editbio.php and lostpassword.php files.  (just add some lines of the code)

 

On github repo - there is exactly seen what was changed.

 

3.5.8 fixed a little bug in URL settings - not accepted https in site URL.
