Send PM On Promotion

[paul41598]

Due To Popular Demand........
Send PM On Promotion (LITE VER) :)

Description:
- This LITE version of Send PM On Promotion will send a private message to a member when he/she is promoted to another usergroup via the Usergroup --> Promotions setup

Inspiration:
- Actually I was inspired from my previous hack related to this one here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=136336). Others thought it would be cool if this worked with promotions.

Features: (Lite Version)
Fully Customizable AdminCP Options
Ability To Turn On PM Alert
Ability To Change All PM Options Including (Sender, Subject, Body)
Only Works On Primary Usergroups!
Features: (Premium Version Only (http://chugger.homeip.net/myhacks/))
Fully Customizable AdminCP Options
Ability To Turn On PM Alert
Ability To Change All PM Options Including (Sender, Subject, Body)
Will Work On Both Primary & Secondary Usergroups!
Installation:
1.) Read Install.txt Apply File Edits
2.) Upload Product
3.) Enjoy Release

Possible Future Plans:
- ??

Important Notes:
- Please be aware that this hack does involve file edits. More specifically the cron that handles promotions. It is the only way to do it, so please don't ask why I did it this way :rolleyes: I have tested it pretty thoroughly, and it should work, but use at your own risk. Always backup your files!

Perfect! This is something I have needed for a while now! Thank you, Paul! ;)

[Tanabe]

This is pretty good I'll click install when I actually have time to install it.

[D.Ilyin]

paul41598 thank's! Clicked install.
Possible Future Plans:
- ??
1. Different custumizeable PM text for different promotions
2. Different PM sender text for different promotions
3. Not only PM but and e-mail

Is it enough? :)

untested

[bada_bing]

Has anyone tested this on 3.5.x ?

[Snake]

Is this going to work whenever I have promoted a regular member to a staff member like a moderator or super mod?

[Sir_Yaro]

It's ridicule to ask for money for such simple hack.
it’s a disgrace....

to make it work for secondary groups add:

if ($vbulletin->options['sendpm_on_promotion_pm_on_off'])
{
$botpermissions['adminpermissions'] = 2;
$pmbody = construct_phrase($vbphrase['sendpm_on_paid_promotion_primary_alertpm'], $promotion['username'], $promotion['title']);
$pmdm =& datamanager_init('PM', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY);
$pmdm->set('fromuserid', $vbulletin->options['sendpm_on_promotion_fromuserid']);
$pmdm->set('fromusername', $vbulletin->options['sendpm_on_promotion_fromusername']);
$pmdm->set('title', $vbulletin->options['sendpm_on_promotion_pm_subject']);
$pmdm->set('message', "$pmbody");
$pmdm->set_recipients($promotion[username], $botpermissions);
$pmdm->set('dateline', TIMENOW);
$pmdm->save();
}

below:

else
{
$secondaryupdates["$joinusergroupid"] .= ",$promotion[userid]";
$secondarynames["$joinusergroupid"] .= iif($secondarynames["$joinusergroupid"], ", $promotion[username]", $promotion['username']);
$user['membergroupids'] .= (($user['membergroupids'] != '') ? ',' : '') . $joinusergroupid;

[PinkDaisy]

didn't work for me and messed up my promotions to not work :(

[Sir_Yaro]

did u apply Install.txt edits ?

[Aeolian_X]

This hack doesn't allow you to select usergroups that receive this PM. Instead, it has a global message for all promotions. It's a good idea, but doesn't have the features it needs to be great.

[AngelBlue]

This hack failed to work for me.
After much messing around with vBulletin errors, I gave up and uninstalled.

It seemed to think that the code to put in the cron file was very wrong, despite me copying it exactly from the install file.

[Raptor]

doesnt work

not very good marketing tbh

[neopet001]

Is there a way to replace PM by email sending on promotion?

[lazytown]

Does such a thing exist for 3.7.2?

[Carly]

FYI this doesn't work for 3.7

Wish OP's website would work, because I'd be willing to pay for this if I could get a version that had separated PMs for separate promotions and worked with 3.7...

[chsmith700]

This works on 3.8.2 with the following modifications:

Install calls for changing this is promotion.php:
else
{
break;
}
}
}
}
to:
else
{
break;
}
}
}

if ($vbulletin->options['sendpm_on_promotion_pm_on_off'])
{
$pmbody = construct_phrase($vbphrase['sendpm_on_paid_promotion_alertpm'], $promotion['username'], $promotion['title']);

$pmdm =& datamanager_init('PM', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY);
$pmdm->set('fromuserid', $vbulletin->options['sendpm_on_promotion_fromuserid']);
$pmdm->set('fromusername', $vbulletin->options['sendpm_on_promotion_fromusername']);
$pmdm->set('title', $vbulletin->options['sendpm_on_promotion_pm_subject']);
$pmdm->set('message', $pmbody);
$pmdm->set_recipients($promotion[username], $botpermissions);
$pmdm->set('dateline', TIMENOW);
$pmdm->save();
}
}

For it to work on 3.8.2 change this line of code in promotion.php:
else
{
break;
}
}
}
}

to:
else
{
break;
}
}
}

if ($vbulletin->options['sendpm_on_promotion_pm_on_off'])
{
$pmbody = construct_phrase($vbphrase['sendpm_on_paid_promotion_primary_alertpm'], $promotion['username'], $promotion['title']);

$pmdm =& datamanager_init('PM', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY);
$pmdm->set('fromuserid', $vbulletin->options['sendpm_on_promotion_fromuserid']);
$pmdm->set('fromusername', $vbulletin->options['sendpm_on_promotion_fromusername']);
$pmdm->set('title', $vbulletin->options['sendpm_on_promotion_pm_subject']);
$pmdm->set('message', $pmbody);
$pmdm->set_recipients($promotion[username], $botpermissions);
$pmdm->set('dateline', TIMENOW);
$pmdm->save();
}
}

The code chsmith700 posted above does seem to work but the promotions cron job won't run any more after it's inserted!

[furnival]

Something like this is badly needed for VB4.
