Allow admins to email users using the user to user email function

[eXtremeTim]

This hack will let admins send emails to users using the front-end email user feature even if the user has opted to hide their email from normal members. So no longer will you have to go into the admin cp to send an email to these members.

@*sorry didn't mean to post here!

[bashy]

When i click the send email to member i get a blank page

heres the 2 edits i made
1st else if (!$userinfo['showemail'] && $vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid']!=6))

2nd else if (!$userinfo['showemail'] && $vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid']!=6))

You will see there both the same so no mistake there, all i did was replace the original code with yours as stated.

I noticed that once the edits were made there were 2 )) on the end, is this correct? as there was already a ) in place but was not show in the Find:

else if (!$userinfo['showemail']

Any ideas please? I am gonna try an remove that extra ) and report back in a mo :)

[bashy]

EDIT:

Ok thats what it was in your instructions you need to add the closing ) to the find, it should be:

else if (!$userinfo['showemail'])
That way it will replace instead of adding 1 :)

Thanks again, its working great after the fix, well done for a quick responce
I only asked last night...Have a good day!!

This can be done via plugins ex: global_start :

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'sendmessage' and $vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == 6)
{
$vbulletin->options['displayemails'] = true;
$vbulletin->options['secureemail'] = true;
}

[Milad]

the previous to send email via the normal form, but to see the email replace:
$vbulletin->options['secureemail'] = true;
with:
$vbulletin->options['secureemail'] = false;

Is it possible for the admin to see when he's overwriting the user setting?
