BamaStang, Keep in mind that if you have a larger forum, you don't want to use a system like this to send your digest out. You'll need to proxy it through an ESP so you don't get your website blacklisted by spam filters. Nevertheless, I agree that adding it to an admin system and adding...

Whoah... I completely forgot about not including forums to which a user doesn't have permissions!!!! That's a scary hole! However, considering that the email gets sent in aggregate, it should group people into user groups and just send emails by group (or simply ignore staff members'...

Ok.... I updated the file to simplify it - included the PEAR library, added configuration options (including a weekly-send option), and added lots of instructions. Anyone who understands how to use FTP and has a cPanel should be able to do this now. If you set up your XF website, you should...

Hi Phillip, I moved the script here: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/daily-digest-email-system.1100/ If someone wants to turn it into a plugin that would be cool. As it stands, you could do most of what you ask for with a little scripting. ;-)

Ok, screenshot added (replacing contents of actual posts with "Thread Name", "Forum Name", "Username", and Lipsum)

Made some adjustments, fixed some bugs.

Here is a daily digest email script... it's a very simple stand-alone script that runs on a cron every midnight. What it Does It grabs all the posts from the last 24 hours, neatly organizes them into a nice XF-styled email, and sends them to all users who chose to receive admin emails...
