Super PM (Mass PM)

[msgotit]

-------------------------------------
Super Private Message
-------------------------------------
Hack Version: 1.0.4
vB-version: 3.5.x
Developer: msgotit
Install-difficulty: Easy

Description:
Allows specified users to send a Private Message to certain groups of people.

This is basically the same as the hack created by UAE and in talking with him I have posted this here.

Super Private Message will give you the convenience and ability to provide many different options for sending mass private messages to users by any one you choose to assign this task to based on Conditionals (if):

User's Usergroup is Y.
User's has posts greater than x posts.
User's has posts less than x posts.
User's Join Date is After (yyyy-mm-dd).
User's Join Date is Befor (yyyy-mm-dd).
User's Last Activiy is After (yyyy-mm-dd).
User's Last Activiy is Befor (yyyy-mm-dd).
User's Last Post is After (yyyy-mm-dd).
User's Last Post is Befor (yyyy-mm-dd).

Settings in the Admin CP:

Specify who gets to use the Super Private Message System by Assigning their User Names or User IDs.
Specify the Secondary and Primary usergroup they can send a mass pm to.
Select what usergroup to be visible for selection(s).
Select to have the assignee change his identity when sending.
Control what fields to be visible for each assignee.
List All assignee, delete/edit them.

History:

1.0.1 BETA
Fixed bug in xml
No longer show to whom the message will be sent (if you like that don't upload the superpm.php file. If your copy is working there is really no need to upgrade, there are no major changes yet - hopefully soon there will be!

1.0.2 BETA
Changed wording in Template - Makes more sense
Changed location of SuperPM link in admincp - Contained in the "User" group
Changed insert to fix/help fix the problem with overloading the server
Added option for admin to show to whom message will be sent

1.0.3
Fixed bug causing a php error * Thanks for the report Fofer
Fixed bug saving message to sent items even if you don't send it.

1.0.4
Added Email on pm - WARNING this will most likely not work if sending to over 500 people (probably ok up to 1000) although may be server intensive. Also, to do that you will likely have to change the max number or pms in superpm.php file from 500 to 1000.
Misc. changes as requested.

To upgrade, upload files and import the new product, click on overwrite and you will be set.

What extra options does it give....i just done get it

[tokenyank]

Just out of curiosity, the 3.0.x version killed my server load when pm'ing 1000 or more...

Does this one control the throttle or does it still hammer the system?

[Watson]

Sorry, but I seem to be missing where I send this PM from?

[msgotit]

Screenshots please?

Screen shots... Sorry, I am not able to get them right now, but will do that tomorrow, however if you go to this link, the screen shots are a lot alike, this is UAE's version for 3.0.7.

SnowBot,

I am not sure I follow what you are asking, it allows you to send a PM to people that meet the conditions that follow what you quoted: in a specific usergroup, join date after a certain date, last post date after/before a certain date, does that answer your question?

tokenyank,

This is something that I haven't been able to try, I am using vBulletins datamanager where as before UAE was doing the inserts in the code, so I don't know what will happen. I don't have that many members, so I can't really test it. Right now it is set up to only allow a max of 1000 PMs (which is pretty easy to change if you need to). If you had a test board you could try it on I would like to know. Also, I am hoping to add a way in the future to have it send them out in batches, 500 at a time, I know that was requested before, I am just not sure the best way to go about doing that. So honestly I don't know if it will kill your server. Sorry :ermm:

[msgotit]

Sorry, but I seem to be missing where I send this PM from?

Watson,

Once you have installed this mod, you need to set someone up to be able to use it in the admincp. Then, assuming you made the template edit, when they click on Send Private Message they will have a link in the upper right corner to send a super private message. If you look at the screen shots at the link two posts up it will probably help, sorry I didn't include those originally.

[Watson]

Done it all, but the super PM bit aint coming up mate :(

[msgotit]

Done it all, but the super PM bit aint coming up mate :(

Did you select yes to at least one of the options in the admincp, show usergroups, send as other etc.? If you didn't it won't show up, even if you selected certain usergroups. Does this help? Let me know.

Edit: I ask this because this is what the template uses to decide if they have access to the super PM if none of the options are clicked (or the spmoptions = 0 then it won't show up.

[Watson]

nope still don't show up mate. Ever tried a complete reinstall and added myself again with all options :(

[msgotit]

nope still don't show up mate. Ever tried a complete reinstall and added myself again with all options :(

Watson,

What happens if you just go to yoursite.com/forum/superpm.php. Does it take you to the page and allow you to see it?

[dsvirus]

ok, well all my icons changed, my header image changed, i cant pm anymore..errr forgot to make backup

[msgotit]

ok, well all my icons changed, my header image changed, i cant pm anymore..errr forgot to make backup

What do you mean you can't PM anymore, and all your icons changed, I am sorry, but I don't know why or how this would happen, so if I could get a little more information that would be helpful! Thanks and I will do what I can to help:)

[Watson]

Watson,

What happens if you just go to yoursite.com/forum/superpm.php. Does it take you to the page and allow you to see it?

Yes mate, I can view it all via that, just seems to be the template thats not showing up :(

Also, I have around 10,000 memebrs, and when I try and send it to all of them, that page times out. Dunno if its cause I am accessing the superpm.php directly

Watson

[msgotit]

When you send a private message normally you should see just what you see when in the first screen shot. That is, in the right top corner of the box you should see a link to "Send Super Private Message", and that should take you to the superpm.php page. If that isn't there, maybe post the part of the pm_newpm template, a little before and a little after where you edited it and I will see if I can help.

The page shouldn't time out, so I would like to know what it happening, when you say the page times out, is this once you have submited the message or before that? I know that with that many members that there could be a problem, and I am working on a way to fix that, hopefully in the next week I will have that done, but I would like to know what I need to do to make it work better, especially for those with large boards. Thanks for your help :)

Msgotit;

This hack is awesome and extremely useful, running great on vB 3.5.1! It also plays nicely with another mod I have installed called: Advanced PM Options (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=100152)

QUESTION:

- Let's say I create a user in 'Super PM' and I choose as their only group 'Registered Users'.

- When I go into the user's 'UserCP' >> Send New Message >> Send New Private Message, I see the following:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Usergroups

[ ] All Usergroups
[ ] Registered Users

...If/when they click on 'All Usergroups', is that for literally all of the user groups in the forums, or all of ther usergroups that are listed for them only? Which in this case would mean only the one 'Registered Users' usergroup?

Just curious, I plan on only using this for my Admins, but just in case I want to open this up for our mods, I want to be sure.

Thanks again for the awesome hack!

Joe

Thanks Joe,

The 'All Usergroups' is used to select all of the groups that are listed, I didn't think about it, but I may change that in the next version so that it says 'Select All', because that is really what it does. By selecting it, it just selects all of the groups that are available. Glad you like that hack, and if there is anything that would make it more useful let me know! :)

I get an error message with this:-

Too many recipients - you are attempting to send to 2790 users but you are only allowed to send to 1000 users.

How can I send to all?

[msgotit]

I get an error message with this:-

Too many recipients - you are attempting to send to 2790 users but you are only allowed to send to 1000 users.

How can I send to all?

Find this bit of code in superpm.php:

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['spmoption'])
{
$permissions['pmsendmax'] = 1000;
$spmugroupid = $vbulletin->userinfo['spmugroup'];
$spmoption = convert_bits_to_array($vbulletin->userinfo['spmoption'], $_SPMOPTION);
}

Change 1000 to 10000 or whatever you want, I meant to change that and will in the next version possibly giving the option to limit it if desired. Sorry about that.

With the timing out, its when I try to send to all members, but its only on the Count bit, it doesnt go to the send and confirm screen. thats when I get a page not found error.

And I found the error with the superPM template bit, I hadn't put it in the right place overwriting the old code :)

Cheers mate

[hilfe-forum]

first sorry für my bad english

i have this error:

MySQL-Fehler : Table 'abcd.user' doesn't exist

That is likely my bad, I didn't include the table prefix when I created the product, and I now realize I should of, I will get that taken care of and post it.

EDIT: I uploaded a new xml file. If you still have problems let me know! :)

Sorry, I have been playing around with it and accidently uploaded the other copy, I think I got the right one now, go ahead and try it and let me know!

[jellybaby]

This caused an overload on my server when I did it as I sent PMs to over 2,500 people how do I stop that happening as it took my site down for 10 mins!:disappointed:

Give me a couple of days and I believe that I will have a fix, I have been working on making this process less server intensive. I apologize for taking your site down, really didn't mean to do that, but I am close on having a process that won't do that. Again, sorry!!

[IamPud]

Getting "Invalid recipient username" don't think i missed anything but any hints?

[msgotit]

Getting "Invalid recipient username" don't think i missed anything but any hints?

I would assume this is the message you get back when you click "Count and Confirm" (if not let me know). It doesn't make sense that you are getting this, when I get home and can look at this more closely I will let you know, I am actually post an update tonight so that might solve your problem. If you have any other info that will help let me know, but like I said I will look at it tonight, sorry about the delay!

[IamPud]

Actually i click that count and confirm and it returns the number that i want with the submit message button. When i click that is when i get the error.

[Telegon80]

ill install this tomorrow cool hack!

[msgotit]

Actually i click that count and confirm and it returns the number that i want with the submit message button. When i click that is when i get the error.

I have updated the files, it isn't for your specific error, but I think that it should work. If you want to try and reupload the files and see what that does, let me know if it isn't fixed!

[IamPud]

I did an uninstall first then imported the new xml file and got this

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.0:

Invalid SQL:
ALTER TABLE `user` ADD `spmoption` INT( 10 ) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL;

If i go into the CP and Select SuperPM i get

Invalid SQL:
SELECT count(*) as users from vb3_user
WHERE spmugroup > 0;

[utw-Mephisto]

I don't find the settings ?!?

[utw-Mephisto]

never mind, found it

[Digma]

Msgotit, this is exactly what I was looking for and am tempted to try once we upgrade to 3.5.x. :cool:

However, with around 5,000 users I am affraid to do so until some load management has been built in. Sending the PM to 250 users max at a time and a quick pause before continuing with the next 250, until you have PM-ed everyone.

You mentioned you would look into it, any luck so far?

Keep up to good work :up:

IamPud,

I have reuploaded the file, I thought I had taken care of that problem, I didn't have the table prefix on the front of the tables when adding the fields, it should be there now so we should be good to go, let me know.

Digma,

If you have a test board I would love to see what happens, I had a test board that I set up 1500 users on and with what I have done it was quick and didn't seem to effect anything, although it is just a test board and didn't really have any other traffic. It PM's 100 at a time, but there isn't a pause.

If anyone else has a test board and wanted to try it that would be great.

[IamPud]

msgotit,

installs works but still no love. Getting the same error. I just don't think it likes me. I do appreciate your hard work though.

[msgotit]

Did you replace the files when after installing it? Once again, this happens after you have clicked count and confirm and are trying to actually send the message is that correct? I will look at it some more and see if I can figure out where it is doing that.

[da420]

Ok, this would be a good hack if I could get it to work right... lol...

Im almost sure it's probably something I did..

This is what I get when I try to send a super PM when I tryed testing it to the Administrators.

1. Invalid recipient username. Please press the back button, enter the correct username and try again. Click Here to See the Members List

[msgotit]

da420,

I am looking into this, I haven't found anything so far, but will keep looking. I might at somepoint want to see what is happening, but I will look a little longer and see if I can't find it. I think IamPud is having the same problem, so there is obviously something going on. Sorry it is taking so long.

Mark

[da420]

Alright, msgotit... this is a cool extension and I look forward to using it when we get it fixed.

Thanks.

[msgotit]

da420,

In the superpm.php...

Find this:
$pmdm->do_set('touserarray', $temp);
And comment it out like this:
//$pmdm->do_set('touserarray', $temp);

That might work, I figure it is worth a try.

[da420]

This is what I get when I replace the $pmdm->do_set('touserarray', $temp); with //$pmdm->do_set('touserarray', $temp);

Fatal error: Unable to proceed with save while $errors array is not empty in class vb_datamanager_pm in /includes/class_dm.php on line 758

[da420]

Wierd. I just put the code back to the way it was, and now it's working. lol, Thanks.

[msgotit]

Wierd. I just put the code back to the way it was, and now it's working. lol, Thanks.

LBSources,

What is happening, it just doesn't pop-up, or what, I don't know for sure off hand, but if you have some more details, maybe I can figure it out. Mainly what is going on, and what the hack did in the first place? Sorry about that.

DISREGARD!

silly me and sorry for wasting your time.. i dont know what the heck happened..

it works now

Ok.. users do NOT receive an email that they received a new PM when i send a user the SuperPM .. they also dont get the unread message notification that says they have a new message

i cant explain it.. maybe now the blinking pm hack is now in conflict .. i dont mind that the new pm message doesnt show up; but i like to get atleast an email sent.. any idea?

[ronoxQ]

The PM options aren't appearing! What did I do wrong?

happened to me; if its now happened to you.. the settings are in the Users section of the AdminCP .. SuperPM

HTH

Lenny

[msgotit]

LBSources,

I know that it isn't sending the email, and what not, part of the problem, is that if your board is very big (a lot of users), running this and having all of that happen will be very server intensive, for those that have a lot of users it often would bring their board down, if you don't have that many users, I could probably find an older copy that would do all of that. I will look into just the email part, you might be ok if you just did that, although I don't know for sure. Let me know what you would like and I will see what I can do!

Mark

Mark, its ok .. i dont plan to use this hack for the whole board. I use it really for staff and when i need them to know something and i want their attention.

For the rest of the board i use the mass email sending ..

so if you could find that ability to send the email notifications; i would like to try it..

Thanks..

I don't know I missed or not my roblem is when I send the Super PM to selected groups no notifacation is shown when the users get the PM.

[msu2k]

I don't know I missed or not my roblem is when I send the Super PM to selected groups no notifacation is shown when the users get the PM.
I am having the exact same problem, after sending out a Super PM, they show up in the user's PM box but on the main board there is no pop-up to tell them that there is a new PM and even if they haven't read the Super PM, it shows up as "Unread: 0" in the upper right hand of the board.

[msgotit]

msu2k,

Should be fixed now, redownload the zip and upload superpm.php and it should do what it is supposed to :)

Thanks for the input and let me know if there are other problems!

Was there anything else you wanted, I mean is that what you wanted, earlier you asked about something similar, does this cover it? I can look into the email notification if you want still. let me know.

Yes.. the email isnt a big deal since now the popup is working and the new pm message is showing ...

all is satisfied; thanks for you hard work.. its appreciated :)

Thanks dude, gonna try it now ....

Installed and working just fine, so far :up:

Installed!!! Had to locate the permission section for like an hour, but now it's PEE PEE time

[Wild Bronco]

Any chance this will be made a plugin? :ermm:

[msgotit]

Any chance this will be made a plugin? :ermm:

I don't think so anytime soon, although I will look into it. There is very little code editing (only one template) and other then that it is just a matter of uploading the files. It does have the product file to upload which makes installation really easy.

Mark

[chet]

I'm looking for a mass PM and by all accounts this looks like the bunny for me, only one question: - how stable is this beta?

Thanks

I check "No" to "Show Usergroups list" in the AdminCP's SuperPM settings, and then later type a PM and click "Count & Confirm," I get this error at the top of the page:

Warning: implode(): Bad arguments. in /superpm.php on line 252

The page generates fine and it may even send PM's fine (haven't tested yet) but the error shouldn't be there.

As soon as I check "Yes" to "Show Usergroups list" in the AdminCP's SuperPM settings, and generate the same PM, the error no longer appears.

Thanks for the great work on this...

[LBSources]

got it installed but it's not shown up anywere ??its in the users portion of the admincp

[LBSources]

Does this also work with 3.5.3 version of vb ?

Tnx in advance


Greetz
yes, works with 3.5.3

[LBSources]

I'm looking for a mass PM and by all accounts this looks like the bunny for me, only one question: - how stable is this beta?

Thanks

Chet
bad question to ask.. best way to find out is by reading through the pages and keep a count of how many have installed, had issues and uninstalled.. ive had not one problem and ive had it installed since 3.5.1 .. works great.. initially just some minor confusions on my part, but it was all due to the common hack collision thing

Lenny :)

[Fofer]

Another issue, I wonder if I'm alone on this:

Let's say I click "PREVIEW" ... but then back out and decide NOT to send the PM after all.

It still shows up in my "Sent Items" folder, as if it was sent. I contacted the users in question and they didn't actually receive the PM, so it's not like I confirmed it by accident... the SuperPM wasn't sent. Yet my Sent Items folder says it was.

I've played with this a few times now, and despite the fact that all I did was "Preview" and didn't actually send the PM... it shows up in my Sent Items folder.


EDIT: I now realize this is a conflict/bug with the Advanced PM Options (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=100152) hack. Basically, if you have the "Save a copy of this message in your Sent Items folder" option checked, it will save a copy of your message as "sent," even when you are merely previewing it.

(For the record, this doesn't happen with "regular" PM's... only "Super PM's" generated with this extension.)

Regardless, I posted about it here in the Advanced PM thread (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=879065#post879065) as well.

[Fofer]

Just as an update to the above conflict report, the developer of Advanced PM options says:

The conflic is caused by improper code in SuperPM, not by this hack.

[dubsbhoy]

its in the users portion of the admincp


yeah it's not shown up there though ??

[HO3R]

yes, works with 3.5.3

Tnx a lot for the fast responds LBSources ;)

Fofer,

This could be true, I will look at what I am doing with this and try and fix it if it is. Sorry about the confusion, it shouldn't do that... but obviously it is.

Thanks for the reply Mark, hopefully my notes help you nail down the problem!

While you're at it if you could check into the bug I mentioned in post #80 above ("Warning: implode(): Bad arguments. in /superpm.php on line 252") that'd be cool too.

thanks msgotit forthe quick reply/..


lets say i am sending a regular weekly PM to members...after a while specially seeing the non active members get a full inbox

so i was thinking if the Admin can mass delete the PM's also........as it will take a lot of space in the database......specially if you have lets say 5000 members

something like running the query
TRUNCATE TABLE pm
TRUNCATE TABLE pmtext

kind regards

Thanks Mark, installing now, will report back!


EDIT: Okay I am back. I replaced my superpm.php file with the updated one and sure enough, it looks like both of my issues have been addressed.

No more "Warning: implode()" error up top (when "Show Usergroups list" is checked in the AdminCP's SuperPM settings and I later "Count & Confirm.")

Also, I previewed a SuperPM, and backed out... it no longer appeared in my Sent Items. :up:

[Ohiosweetheart]

Um... I can't find ANYWHERE in the admincp to do anything... set permissions for this, NOTHING !

help?

EDIT: never mind, I found it :ermm:

[vakvak]

no mail info pm help me

[Tralala]

LBSources,

I know that it isn't sending the email, and what not, part of the problem, is that if your board is very big (a lot of users), running this and having all of that happen will be very server intensive, for those that have a lot of users it often would bring their board down, if you don't have that many users, I could probably find an older copy that would do all of that.

Just replying to this, I for one would like to see this as an option at the bottom of Super PM (and yes, I have a small forum, so it wouldn't be a problem.)

A checkbox that offers the option:
-Don't Send Email Notification
-Send Email Notification

(The 2nd option which would be overridden by user's own preferences, if they've chosen to disable email notifications.)

That would make the most sense to me, at least. A Super PM in my case is something I'd want everyone to read quickly, and without an email being sent to them, many users won't discover the PM for a few days.

[TeaTree]

Thanks! Worked brilliantly!

[LiveMicSociety]

Installed :up:

[Mr Chad]

Perfect, just sent a PM to 21,000 members with no problem (except when it counted the users took a few mins)

Anyone using this on version 3.5.4?

It should work fine! Because this product.

I am and I haven't had any problems so far, don't really expect any, just like tuanluu said it is a product so... But if anyone has any problems, let me know.

I noticed it too. It sends the PM, but email notification for this PM (if the user has that turned on) is not happening.

As I mentioned above, it would be great to see a checkbox that offers the option:
-Don't Send Email Notification
-Send Email Notification

There are two fields you can add people in, one is a UserID and the other is a username, make sure you are using the correct one. That would be my guess. Let me know if that isn't the problem!!

[msgotit]

I think that I am very close to having this done. As I said before, on larger boards this could be an issue, although I wouldn't know for sure. Hopefully I will have the email capability done shortly!

Thank you very much msgotit!

and, have u worked out the solution for those forums that have so many users? i mean the function that sends batch PMs, such as 500/time.

anyway, thanks a lot and all the best!!!

Thanks.

[msgotit]

plateau,

It doesn't send 500 at a time, but the way it inserts it goes relatively fast, I don't know how hard it is on the server, but one person did post that they sent it to about 21000 (I believe, check earlier post) and said that it was ok. It does not email anyone at this point, I am working on that, but have been pretty busy, although if I do get that done I don't think it is something for bigger boards. Hope that helps!

There are options in the Admin CP that need to be configured. See "Mass PM" under the "Users" heading.

I am looking into the error you got, more or less it appears somehow an ID is missing, I will see if I can find out why and what needs to happen to fix it.

Thank you Mark. It would appear that the PM went out to at least some people, as some people are reporting receiving it twice (I ran it twice so that I could get the error code again).

YES PLEASE! This would have come in handy last week. We had to copy and paste the text block into an external word processor, replace the spaces with semi-colons, remove the name(s) we didn't want included, then paste that back into a NEW private message. Was sort of a pain. And we still included some names we didn't intend to include, by mistake.

The ability to deselect some names would be cool and very much appreciated.

Barring that, how about making the name list preview use semi-colons instead of spaces, so at least the process I described above would be easier.

[msgotit]

I am sorry the next release is taking so long... I have been extremely busy, I will see what I can do tonight about getting it out, I have a lot of it done, but want to look at a few more things.

Can you add the option to send a "pm received" e-mail to all users , even if they disabled it?
And the option to send everything like a batch spread every hour or so, not all at once.

If you can do these 2 things that would make it a awesome hack for me.

Thanks for your work so far!

[cmiller1014]

There is no "Send" button! Only count and confirm, and preview. What am I missing?

[cmiller1014]

FYI this hack for some reason stops the "Email on PM" from being sent. I sent a PM to my 6800 members and they got PM's but no notification via email. Without that - this is almost useless to me :(

What exactly are you doing... when you submit it is there anything blank, or... That will just help me debug the code.

but whyy.??? this was the great hack...:(

[KevNJ]

TTT

3.6 fix anyone?!

[MediaHound]

Nobody here is using this on 3.6??

[KevNJ]

I guess Ill have to bump this every day till theres a fix. Ive been trying to figure out the coding.. but with no luck yet.

[Sarver]

Yea, it does not work with 3.6 unfortunately. hopefully it will be re-done to make it work for us 3.6 peeps. Because it's a great idea, and a great hack in general.

[Ohiosweetheart]

Yes it is. There's another one on vbHackers that does the same thing. They posted a patch for it to work with 3.6

[MediaHound]

woOT!

[MediaHound]

[konabiker47]

Hi

Open the file superpm.php:

Search for (line 346)
$temp = serialize($sendTo);

Replace with
$temp = implode('; ', $sendTo);


Search for (line 392)
$pmdm->do_set('touserarray', $temp);

Replace with
$pmdm->set_recipients($temp, $permissions);


Please give feedback.

For me it doesn't work

I get this database error:

Hi

It has nothing to do with my fix for 3.6.x.

AdminCP -> Users -> Super PM
Delete your assigned users
Assign a new user
Note! No , at the end after the userid.

Example:
1,2,3,4 is correct

1,2,3,4, is false!

I don't know why it adds that , at the end but I removed several usergroups and it works perfectly...

[GoNz00]

woohoo, works for me 2 :)

thanks mate :)

[GoNz00]

arghh, it sends the PM twice, does anyone have an idea what i need to look at to fix this ?

i double checked i havn't screwed up the original code, or the mod to make it 3.6.x compliant

[KevNJ]

Works with my default style, but will not show on my custom style because the css is using an image for the catagories box. is there a way you can relocate where the "send super pm" text shows up ?

[KevNJ]

wahoooo... like the others have said.. works great.... ill just switch style changes to on... switch to default... send out the email and then switch styles to off... not a big deal.. cause this now works and thats what ive wanted.. WAHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! stoebi for member of the month!!! ( do we have a member of the month.. we should )

Hi

Thx :)

If you use more than one style with vBulletin, it is necessary to edit these used styles too.

bump, help. i looked for things entered twice, and see none :(

[KevNJ]

Okay that worked... But Im having the problem GoNz00 is having double sending. I notice when I sent to myself ( admin ) i get the message twice. Then when I send to myself ( admin ) and mods. I get the message twice again, but the mods gets no message. Then when I send to mods only they get nothing. Each time it says the messages are sent but either I get it twice, or the mods dont get it at all.

Hi

I can reproduce all the problems.

Please try this new file attached. It's only the main superpm.php file.

Fixed a problem with no users in a group, too.
Fixed lot of uncached templates.


Hopefully all problems gone now. 3.6.x only

Hi,

error message available?


Regards, Stoebi

[KevNJ]

Nope it was just a blank screen. I just installed vbseo and having problems with links not linking on rewrite so someone from there is looking at that.. after its fixed ill try to it out and report back.

[KevNJ]

K... yea I did get an error.

The following users were not found:
Kim&amp
Phil
jerseygirl&lt
3
Kim&lt
3

Before it gives me that error its fine and says this will be sent to 3861 members. I confirm & send. then I get that message, and none are sent out.
On my site I dont allow any member to have less then 3 characters.

[Stoebi]

Hi,

you've registered user with usernames like "Kim&", "jerseygirl<", "3" and "Kim<" ?

Regards, Stoebi

K just checked... there is a

Kim<3
Kim&Phil
JerseyGirl<3

registered on the site.

theres 2 people that have usernames that start with the number 3
and 458 other members with the number 3 in there username.

Kevin

[GoNz00]

you will have to change there user names to strip out the < & as they throw other mods out as well, ie vbshout. it was fixed in vbshout, not in the release tho, just a fix for those who get the bug.
theres something in the user sign up options to prevent using certian content, ie '&' & '<'

[Stoebi]

Will see what i can do... Please have patience. I'm beta testing some new products at the moment.

Kind Regards,

Stöbi

[KevNJ]

Thanks GonZ00. I thought I had those characters turned off from day one. But guess not. Going to change it somehow.

Stoebi. patience is key. We finally got a fix for this from you. So waiting is not a problem.

Kevin

[Stoebi]

Hi,

this new attachament should solve the problem.

Regards, Stoebi

[KevNJ]

k just patched it.. i wont be able to try it out till probably next week cause i only send out 1 email a week... hopefully someonee else can test it out before then.

edit- will i need to have my members change there names to not include < > *^%$#@!& symbols ?

[Stoebi]

edit- will i need to have my members change there names to not include < > *^%$#@!& symbols ?

No, my adaptions should work with all constellations of user name now.
Please give feedback.

Regards, Stoebi

[GoNz00]

i wont be putting the latest fix on as i dont need it due to account name restrictions, but i shall be adding it to the forum when i move hosts in a couple of weeks.

thanks again for all your hard work, top job :D

[GoNz00]

what the heck, i put it on, only took a few seconds :D

[manguish]

Anyway to allow us to deselect individual users without having to move usergroups for the people who don't want the pms?

[Deimos]

Does the last attachment in this thread, fix the multiple pm's problem?

I sent out a mass pm earlier for the first time in a while and it sent it out three times
Sent out another one as an apology, that went out twice, hehe

[Spinball]

Does the last attachment in this thread, fix the multiple pm's problem?
Yes it does.

[manguish]

Anyone?:pirate:

[Deimos]

Yes it does.

Hmm, well it's still doing it for me
I've reinstalled it via the product manager, re uploaded the new superpm.php file, sent it out to 21 people (admins, lead mods, global mods, mods etc)

Everyone got the PM twice.

[Spinball]

Got a request for a tweak to this mod. I would like to PM everyone who has 'receive email from admin' switched off. This is about 35,000 people on our board.
Could this option be added to Super PM, please?

[Axor]

email on pm doesn't work with 3.6.2

anyone the same problem?

[Shazz]

^Yes many....

[Axor]

has anyone a bugfix?

[UNRE4L]

When i try send mass pm's all i get now is

"Invalid recipient username. Please press the back button, enter the correct username and try again. Click Here to See the Members List"

Anyone know how to solve it?

[inzane]

I tried to use the modified file that the coder posted on the previous page

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=54064&d=1159469861

And I didn't get that error anymore, but have not recevied a reply to the PM's yet to confirm it's usage.

EDIT: It did work. It must be due to you users having special characters is their names (my users have [ ] )

[simalert]

Yes it does.

Not for me it doesn't on 3.6.3

It solves the problem of the wrong characters in username, but then causes another problem. I now get my PM rejected if someone's mailbox is full or someone's chosen not to receive PMs. This was ignored before adding this extra file :(

I'm really missing this one now, it was extremely handy for my site.

It doesn't look like anyone's going to improve this, but if they do I am quite happy to make some sort of cash donation to someone that makes a version that works on the latest vBulletin as I am sure others are too.

The offers there, will anyone take up the challenge?:D

[Strat]

How can I prevent people from replying to the mass PMs? It's annoying to have to go through those everyday.
