NOTE:
This hack is not related to, nor using Zero Tolerance's "Admin Mass PM Members" hack.
Although this is a new hack, I still would say thanks to insanctus, Oblivion Knight and Zero Tolerance for their idea and hacks on sending mass PM from admincp. I also want to thank the members who need this hack badly, and support it.

DESCRIPTION:

This system allows admins to send mass private message to members from AdminCP
Some options:
- Detail user search condition, so you can send PM to diffent usergroups, that satisfy different condition
- Send "Test" Private Message,
- Allow/disable smilies
- Override "Receive Private Messages = NO" option?
- set number of PMs to send at once
- Use different user as Sender (by userid)

Where is the File ?

[anywares]

good question =\

[Raydar]

Hi Mtha,

I haven't installed this yet, but thanks for releasing it. :up:

Can we use $username in the messaging system so that people's names appear in the message?

And does it hide all the recipients in the from field?

Thanks

Reggie

[projectego]

I've installed this for now too. Looking forward to trying it out. ;)

[Subah]

Thanks Mtha but where is the files ?

[delinetci]

Thank you very very good. (http://www.delinetciler.com/forum/)

[stinger2]

waiting for file....thx

[TeddyKGB]

mtha - is this any different than the one you released earlier in the week? if we have that one installed I guess would should remove it and installed this one?

[puertoblack2003]

OOOOOOOOOK WHEREEEEEEEEE'S the file is like offering someone to eat but don't hand them the plate:eek:

[Doctor Death]

Blink blink blink :|

[FleaBag]

The file is there...

[mtha]

It was late night lastnight, after a coming back from a party :p ... little tired to forget things. Sorry guys
the file is up now

[mtha]

Hi Mtha,
Can we use $username in the messaging system so that people's names appear in the message?

No you cant. I've thought about it, but this system is sending mass (say 500) PMs at once (going into one PM), I would rather not sending it individually. (creating about 10000 different PMs in database is a huge waste of database and system resources)

And does it hide all the recipients in the from field?
Yes. it does

Yes it is different. it's up to you, it wont be conflict, but I rather use just one system.

[rmxs]

Thanks

[Princeton]

nearly identical to the one I wrote for a client ... great job

you should add print_cp_redirect()

[dknelson]

I removed the other one and installed this one. Great job.

There is one small thing that I don't care for. If I go to the usergroup to send a Mass PM....all the usergroups are selected by default. I have a LOT of usergroups because I am using this to send PMs to members in certain states/provinces. So...I have to de-select 60 or so groups and then select only the one or two that I want.

I wish that they were either not selected by default or a button to de-select all.

Otherwise...thank you VERY much.

[pollon]

it's better than the other one. thanks:D

[Snake]

Awesome. Thanks for the release. :)

[redlabour]

Great one ! :)

[Tralala]

Sweet! I uninstalled the previous one I am using... and installed this instead!

[banuchi2]

Messages were not sent and it didn't allow me to go past the 500 original. Any ideas? The TEST worked and had the NEXT button, but not when it was actually sent.

[zappsan]

When I use BBCode, the URLs are mssed up.
I get URLs like http://\"http//piforums.info/showthread.php?t=3593\%22 for example...

edit:
Well, you need to make sure not to use any " for the URLs or it will show up like I stated above.

[banuchi2]

I figured this out.... I can send to 395 members and the NEXT button will be there. If I send to 396+, then the NEXT button will NOT be there.

The only other issue is that the message isn't actually sent even though it says it is. I logged in as some users that supposedly were sent a PM and they did not receive anything.

[gsm4arab1]

Thank you 0........

[johnny713]

thank you so much for this, I been waiting for this hack for a long time. Must INSTALL

[mtha]

:) thanks, I didnt know that you wrote one before. you wouldnt mind when I release it, do you?

How can I pass the "_POST" value for "message" into print_cp_redirect()? in my "donext" function, it is a form with informations to send.

are you sure you install THIS hack, not the old one that I released yesterday, based on ZT's hack? This one is DIFFERENT, and the link is in Users section in your admincp, with the name "Send PM to Users"
In this one, there is ALWAYS a "Next page" button underneath the userlist, until when you finish sending PMs
I tried with 20000 members, 500 or 1000 members each page, and it works fine (with the "TEST" mode. the actual SEND supposed to do the same. I did not test sending to my 20000 members, but I dont believe there's any problem there. It works fine with my test board (with few registered accounts)

i will try this

Yes, this is definitely your hack installed. The old one was uninstalled. Not sure why this happened. I see that everyone is mentioning that they will try it....just haven't heard if it's actually working for them. I'd love to hear from everyone on whether they have any problems or not.

did you remove the file /include/xml/cpnav_masspm.xml and admincp/admin_pmall.php

did you try the version 1.0.1?

Actually, I did, but I'm going to start over again and I'll keep you updated. THanks alot for all your work on this and your support. :)


Update: I completely unistalled, and replaced the two files....still does not provide NEXT after the 500 emails. Oh well, if I'm the only one with this problem, then don't worry about it. What gets me is that nobody has said that it works yet....just alot of thank yous. Can anyone verify that it's working for them?

if you want, provide me link to your website, and an admin account, I can take a look for you

Please check and see if that user name is oprah's minge, and what's your website/language encoding?

I deleted that user and it works now. I guess that account was causing other issues as well.

Thanks.

[redlabour]

Suggestion:

1. Option to chosse from AdminCP which UserGroup can use Mass PM´s .

2. Option to use Mass PM´s with the normal PM Editor without switching to AdminCP.

[djcaseanova]

i seem to be having problems...

I installed it without problem, but when I tried doing more than 1 usergroup (that had a max of only 25 people) in the combined groups, it didn't go.

I got an internal server error, then tried again, got a time out, then narrowed it down to just 1 usergroup of 2 people (admin) and it went through, but showed up twice in my PM box.

I then tried with the "registered user" group that is about 800 people, and it has been running for about 10 minutes now uninterrupted. How long is it supposed to take?

[djcaseanova]

one more thing, what kind of restrictions will this mod have if users are limited to a certain number of PM's and that sort?

Just curious.... does it override that or will that cause problems?

[Prince]

just installed, have not tested yet.

[djcaseanova]

i guess it worked even though it never "finished" I started getting about 500 undeliverable mail notices in my email from all the email addresses that are no longer valid.

Just one of those things you have to expect from the users who are no longer active I guess....

otherwise good job! It got a lot of peeps back on the forum.

[mtha]

Suggestion:

2. Option to use Mass PM?s with the normal PM Editor without switching to AdminCP.

right now, the hack is only for admin, so only those who has permission to access admincp (access the users section) can use the function

I dont think it's a good idea (yet) to allow members (different groups) using the mass PM functions.
that is also related to the part when you use in usercp environment.
it also requires basically a whole new system. So I dont take these suggestions in consideration yet, unless I see some point that it'd be useful.

it would take only seconds, unless you send PMs one by one. Would there be something wrong with your server?

one more thing, what kind of restrictions will this mod have if users are limited to a certain number of PM's and that sort?

AdminPM will override quota limitation. that would not cause any problem.

[Prince]

the only thing I would like to see added is the ability to automate the next page, i.e. enter the number of seconds before the next block of PM's sent, otherwise in my case I have to click next 30 times waiting about 2-3 minutes in between each.

[hendri]

[Doctor Death]

This is a great addition, thanks much for your hard work.

[rrr]

Just a quick report to say that I just installed this and tested it with a secondary usergroup with over 700 members and it worked just fine.

[deezelpope]

Very nice! Thanks bunches!!

[jdebler]

This is great, thank you so much for this. I haven't yet installed it, but I plan to. Before I do, has anyone run this on a LARGE usergroup? I am looking at around 75,000 or more.

Also, I cannot tell by the screen shots but is there an option to filter the recipients by last login? I don't want to send PM's to a few thousand accounts that haven't logged in to my site in say, the past 6 months.

[T_Richardson]

Very nice! :up: :up:

I ran into this error - doing diagnosis now:

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.4:

The userid is empty. Not sure why without digging into the code. I was able to send out around 10,000 PM's. Sent 6,000 before it bombed on that error. Sent the remaining 4,000 based on filtering the join date of the last userid sent.

[teedizz]

for some reason this isnt sending out a PM nor am I getting a " Next " page. I choose all the usergroups that I want the PM to be set too, I enter the Subject and field, I select override the No option and I click yes to send users who have declined admin emails. After thats all said and done. I click on " Submit" then it shows a list of 500 users and does nothing else, I have more then 500 members but it doesnt show a next page option nor does it actually send out any PM's. I have everything installed correctly so I dont know what it can be. Any ideas?

I just installed this and answered my own question. To anyone else who is wondering, yes this can narrow users down by activity and all the other standard search criteria.

This is awesome, thanks for making it! Mod of the Year! :D

warning: implode(): Bad arguments in /private.phm (1723): eval()'d code on line 22

What kind of impact could I expect if I were to use this to send a PM to 70,000+ registered users at once?

[Prince]

it will not work, you will crash your server, 1,000 puts a hefty load on mine.

Kind of figured as much. This is why I ask. ;)

[jdebler]

it will not work, you will crash your server, 1,000 puts a hefty load on mine.

Are you talking about sending a total of 1,000 pms, broken up in to smaller groups or 1,000 in each group with multiple groups that will be a problem? I have tens of thousands that need to go out, but I don't mind setting it to do chunks of 100 at a time as long as they all go out. Please inform/advise! :)

He means sending "1000" at a time (the value set when you send out PMs)

you should have no problem with 100 at a time, but you have to sit there and hit next every few minutes.

I send out 500 at a time and every few minutes hit next until I hit 29,000. :)

I am online, doesnt mean that I have to answer all the questions. I have other stuff to do too. Be a little bit more polite please, that's all what I ask for.

otherwise, I always can un-check the support mark, it will be a lot easier for me.

Regarding to your 500 PMs without "Next page" link, please try to reinstall the hack, and try it on TEST mode. if it still doesnt work, you need to provide me more information, or I will NOT help, since it works fine on my version here.

on the mass pn the following error occurs

Warnung: array_search() [function.array-search]: Wrong datatype for second argument in /private.php(1723) : eval()'d code (Zeile 20)

[Nathan2006]

If I add all the main user groups to send a pm to and set the amount to>
PM to send at once: 50 it will only send out 44

If I try to set the "PM to send at once:" to 2000 it will also send out 44 Pm's to the same members.

I have a total of Members: 1,846

So the 2000 should have well covered it :(

Things done:

Files uploaded/product installed.
Ticked all my Members, Admin & Moderators user groups.

But still sending out 44 Pm's :(

Is there going to be any fix for this?

Thank you for any help

I've used it a few times on one of my boards that has 10,000 members, sending 500 at a time. Worked great. I just had to click 20 times to send all of them.

This Mod does not send Email-Notifications, right? Is there a way to make it do this?

Does it really not send e-mail notifications? I was just about to install it but it's no good to me if it doesn't send e-mail notifications.

It does send it. From what I recall, it follows whatever email notification option the user has selected.

installed and working great! nice work

[Lizard306]

finally installed it today :D, followed the steps in the instructions file, but "Send PM to Users" link in "Users" section does not appear :(, i uploaded all the files under "UPLOAD" in the root & also under a folder called "upload" :D

another funny thing, when i import the plugin for the first time it does not say:


Updating style information for each style

* skin ... (Templates) (StyleVars) (CSS) (Replacement Variables) (Controls) Done.

but this message comes only when i import this product again with overwrite option.

is it mandatory to install the older version first & then upgrade?

Let me know,

thanks a ton in advance.

I'm having the exact same problems as the user above... No PM link in the "User" menu.:(

[egyptsons]

Thanks for releasing ;)

[FReeSTER]

I was wondering how everytime you send PMs to users will send emails notice of that PM. I know you can do this manually per user options but is there anyway to do this by user group?the problem is that my email system is working impropiate since someone hack my forum and spam emails from my server and now I thing is on the Blacklist.

So until I have this fix I will like to send massive PMs but a the same time will send email notification for the PMs I send to every member

Thank you for your help

[h2ojunkie]

I just installed, and sent a PM to anyone active within the last 30 days.

27,145 PM's sent without issue, and it does send the email notification.

Only suggestion I have is adding in an auto-redirect for next page. It's a PIA to keep clicking that next button for that many PMs

[UNRE4L]

This is a really useful tool, but a problem i'm having is that when PM's are sent the system doesnt recognise that there is a new PM in the inbox. Even though there is one there it still displays "No new messages" on the index.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

[MSheraz86]

Thanks

Clicked Installed :)

[DJ MDX]

*** Installed ***

And tested - Love It!!!

I like it better than mass emails.

Thank you for a great mod, it was exactly what I was looking for!

[SuperTaz]

I can't find the Send PM's to users link in my admin cp...I did everything that it said to do.

[SuperTaz]

It does not work for me. I did everything it said to do exactly and refreshed the admin cp and it still will not show the "PM All" button in the users or usergroups area. What happened?

[masterross]

installed and has same problem like

"all usergroups with Super Mod options lost their rights!"

[steve71]

Does this automatically ignore quota if PM box was full?

[Alfa1]

I would love to be able to use this hack to send a PM to all Users Awaiting Email Confirmation, that have Hotmail or Yahoo email accounts. That would enable me to quickly resolve the problem of those members not being aware of their activation email going into their overzealous spamfilter.
Any change on a extra search criteria box for 'email'

[John Diver]

Im getting this error everytime I try to send:

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 763

Anyone know whats wrong?

Thanks

[jdebler]

I was just notified of a strange problem with this one.

I sent out a PM newsletter today and as always, I set the "Include users that have declined admin emails?" option to NO.

I got a PM from a member telling me that they have their account set to decline admin e-mails, yet has received the last two mass PM's that I sent out. (I tell users that if they don't want our mass PM's, the uncheck "Receive E-mail from Administrators" box)

I checked and they were right, their account was set to not receive them. I went to send a test mass PM to that user, and sure enough...it still would have went to him when it shouldn't have.

Thinking that it was an odd setting in his account, I then went into my own account and set my own option of "Receive Admin Emails" to NO, and then tried to send a test mass PM to my own account. It too still would have been sent to my account to me when it shouldn't have.

Since the mass PM plugin is so similar to the VBulletin "Generate Mailing List" function, I then went to generate an e-mail list using the exact same parameters as the tests above, and neither the member account mentioned above who has the problem nor did my own account show up in the generated mailing list as it is supposed to be.

I really need this to work right, I don't want anyone to be upset receiving mass PMs when they don't want them.

Can anyone help with this?:eek:

[USAMustangs.com]

i have installed this and it works great, but is there a way to set this up to allow supermoderators to mass pm as well?

[jdebler]

Can someone please give me a hand with the problem I mentioned a few days ago in post #109? If I have to pay someone to get this fixed, I will. I need this to work ASAP!

Heck, is anyone else even experiencing this same problem?

Any help is very much appreciated!

[tokenyank]

I sent out a PM newsletter today and as always, I set the "Include users that have declined admin emails?" option to NO.

I got a PM from a member telling me that they have their account set to decline admin e-mails, yet has received the last two mass PM's that I sent out. (I tell users that if they don't want our mass PM's, the uncheck "Receive E-mail from Administrators" box)

That's because "Receive Admin Emails" is different than "Receive Private Messages".

If you send your newsletters via PM's, they need to disable receive pms and/or "Send Notification Email When a Private Message is Received".

That'll be ?50 please! ;)

[tokenyank]

This hack doesn't work with special characters:


The following errors occurred when the system tried to send PM to the above users. No PM sent.:

Array
(
[0] => The following users were not found:

1. Lily'
2. s Mummy
3. shelby'
4. smum
5. alfred'
6. smum


)





Error is triggered on "Lilly's Mummy" but the ascii designation of the ' seems to break the hack. Did this once during testing with an ! sign too...

Due to this, I'm uninstalling until alphanumeric+symbol support is available.

[jdebler]

That's because "Receive Admin Emails" is different than "Receive Private Messages".

If you send your newsletters via PM's, they need to disable receive pms and/or "Send Notification Email When a Private Message is Received".

That'll be ?50 please! ;)

I am not sure I understand then...when making the list of users to PM, the option is:

"Include users that have declined admin emails? Yes No "

When checking "no", people who have their account set to "decline admin emails" still get added to the list. In other words, it is not working for me and I am not sure how.

Thank you for the reply, if I am still missing something, don't hesitate to fill me in!

[tokenyank]

I don't have it installed anymore so I can't check for 100% accuracy.. But I reckon that the coder took the code from the email user option in the admincp as the fields are all the same and he just forgot to change the phrases.

To test this, set option to not send to users that do not accept PMs, set your test account not to accept pms, then send it... If it doesn't get there, than it's a phrase issue, if it does get there, then the hack is teh broke more than I said up there! ;)

[jdebler]

Okay, let's do a test scientifically. :) Here is what I did and I decided to share it with all of you...

I created a test user account called TEST.

In the TEST account, I set the following:

Receive Admin Emails = NO
Receive Private Messages = NO


I created a user group called TESTGROUP and placed TEST into TESTGROUP

--- PM TEST #1 ----------------------------

Then I went into the Private Message Manager, and made the following selections:

Test PM Only? = NO
Override "Receive Private Messages = NO" option? = NO


I selected the TESTGROUP usergroup to send to.

Then I selected:

Include users that have declined admin emails? = NO


Clicked "send" and got the "No Users Matched Your Query" message, just as I should have.

RESULTS: PM TEST #1 Successful. Function operating as it should.

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

I went back into the TEST account, and made the following selections:

Receive Admin Emails = NO (<-- UNCHANGED)
Receive Private Messages = YES (<-- CHANGED FROM PREVIOUS TEST)


--- PM TEST #2 ----------------------------

Then I went into the Private Message Manager, ran the EXACT SAME TEST AS PM TEST #1 ABOVE,

Clicked "send" and the PM went through.

RESULTS: PM TEST #2 Failed. User account TEST received PM even though TEST account was set to "Receive Admin Emails = NO" and PM TEST 2 option of "Include users that have declined admin emails?" was set to NO.

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

To ensure that the "Receive Admin Emails = NO" function was not broken sitewide and to verify that it was only broken in the Private Message Manager, I went back into the TEST account, and verified the following selection:

Receive Admin Emails = NO (<-- UNCHANGED)


--- E-MAIL TEST ----------------------------

Then I went into the Email Manager, ran the EXACT SAME TEST AS PM TEST #1 ABOVE,

Clicked "send" and got the "No Users Matched Your Query" message, just as I should have.

RESULTS: E-MAIL TEST Successful. Function operating as it should.

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

CONCLUSION: "Receive Admin Emails" fucntion does not operate properly in Private Message Manager ONLY

Now, wasn't that fun and educational? ;)

So here are my important questions...


Has anyone else had the same results by running the same test above?
Can anyone help me fix this??


If I missed something, please go easy on me. Again, any help is most appreciated!

[sybakaos]

Can you add a feature to mass pm via your UserCP with:
- forced e-mail notification
- forced PM notifications popup

If not, are you perhaps considering adding a message (bb/font etc) editor in your send pm page in admincp?

[jdebler]

I ran the same test that I posted above on a friend's board and I got the same results. I guess that I answered my own question.

However, is there anyone out there who knows how to fix this? The author hasn't posted in this thread since March and I need to be able to exclude people from the PM's who don't want them. Just want it to work right. :)

[Tralala]

I'd like to afford "Mass PM" ability to my registered users as well (I run a very small and well-behaved forum.) Can this, or any other hack out there, make this possible on vBulletin 3.6.x?

Thanks...

[BigDog56]

hi
i have got the same error
how can i resume proceed the sending job ? ( from 40.000 to end ... )
plz help me:(

[Prince]

same problem here, I have to limit the number of PM's I send so this error does not happen.

[gobears20]

When I use this...

I have over 12k members on my board and one time I tried to send a PM out to all of my users and I only sent out 300 at a time and it crashed MySql along with my webserver. I did only have 1GB of ram on the server at the time. It went through a decent amount and then crashed.

I now have 4GB of RAM on my server and I was wondering, what are some things that would help me get do this without crashing? Should I just send out a few at a time, I mean take the number down to 100 at a time?

I really don;t want to send out emails and generate a mailing list. I would rather do it the PM way.

Thanks for any help with this!

Jason

[Marys242]

thank you thank you for this hack....you have no idea how badly i needed it!!!

[SuperTaz]

I uninstalled this mod because it was causing many conflicts with my board and was using the RAM like crazy. Someone needs to make a better MASS PM system.

[firefox100]

Its failing. Last night I sent a private one massive and crash in the first 2,000 members. And show me this mesagge:
"Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 45 bytes)"

I have 4BG of RAM, and sent it in hours of minimum server usage.

Before it didn't pass with the version 3.6.4, I don't recommend their installacion in the version 3.6.8

Thanks to the coder for their work but I should report the errors so that it improves. ;)

[hissatsu]

I am definately want to try this out. This is exactly what i need right now for my forum. quite glad there is no template or code edits since i know nothing about coding. But the developer aint responding so i guess i will wait or try others first.

Great! Installs!

Hi
when I start this hack then send pm to all of my user in user 3000 to 3500 after one of my user by name red rose shown database error & dont send to other members
I do this for several time just after red rose user shown database error
What I was doing?
my forum version is 3.6.8

[KURTZ]

runs correctly on 3.6.8 so installed! :D

[vwdforum]

added to my close protection forum (http://www.closeprotectionworld.co.uk)

works well with 3.68

[SuperTaz]

Works now with my site. Installed.

[SemperFideles]

Works well but I have one "complaint" that others may disagree with.

I assumed that the Primary Usergroup selection and Addtional Usergroup selection would work with an OR logic. Here's an example of what I'm talking about:

1. I chose to send a Mass PM to all Admins. Some admins have it set as the Primary Usergroup, others have it as an Additional Usergroup.
2. I selected Administrator under Primary Usergroup and Administrator under Additional Usergroup.

Result, no users matched my criteria.

Thus, the only way to send to all Admins was to send out two PM's (one to just the Primary Usergroup and the other to the Additional Usergroup).

In other words, the system is using an AND logic rule to see if the Primary and Additional usergroup criteria both match instead of one or the other.

If that's the way it is then that's the way it is but I thought I'd point it out.

Thanks again, great Mod.

I just installed this, but it is not showing up in the Users menu

I followed the directions exactly.... Uploaded the files in the upload dir then ACP >> Plugins & Products >> Manage Products >> add/import product.
It shows up on the manage products page fine and I can edit it, check version, etc etc...

It is not showing up in the users menu like it should. At first I thought this might be an issue with my browsers cache, but I tried a different computer that I have never visited my forum on and it still does not show up.

I'm running vB 3.6.8 with no other mods installed

I'm stumped. Can someone help me out? This is a mod that I have been wanting since I installed vB last year (I think it should be included with every install)

edit: I just noticed that this put a limit of 0kb on all users attatchments (including mine the head mod/admin) As soon as I uninstalled this mod, the attatchments went back to normal

Just import the product. Refresh your page. Then go to Users: See Send PM to Users(this is the mass pm) <-- works perfekt!! I just installed it, and sended a pm out to 390 ppl at once. You wont find this option in the vbulletin options tab.

Thats weird , i aint the smartest one with vbulletin tough. I just followed the instal instructions

Try reducing the number of PMs it sends out in a batch. I forget what the default is but I vaguely remember looking at it and thinking it was set too high. Try 300 or 100 as a maximum.

hn_masspm.php should be uploaded to the /admincp folder

Thank you!

You're welcome.

In future, if you use a utilitysuch as WinZip or WinRar, you have an option to unpack the .zip file using the folder names included in the download. Most add-ons (but unfortunately not all) are packaged this way.

Following this procedure unpacks the files with the following folder structure:


YetAnotherMassPMSystem1.0.1
product-hn_masspm.xml
Installation Instructions.txt

UPLOAD

admincp

hn_masspm.php



includes

xml

cpnav_hn_masspm.xml





Now, the next recommended step is to use an FTP program such as FileZilla to log in to the server. Then just highlight and drag/upload the admincp and includes folders to the forum root folder on the server.

If your FTP program is working as it should, this will ensure that all files are where they should be.

I take that back:(

Uninstalled....

It showed up in the User menu, but screwed up my permission settings. The biggest thing I noticed right away is all users on my forum shouldn't have a limit to the size of all their attatchments, but when this mod is installed, every user (even the super admin) gets a limit of 0kb for all their attatchments and cannot post any pictures:(
I didn't even uninstall it - left the files on my server and just marked it as disabled, and that fixed my problems.

Anyone have any ideas?

[dutchbb]

Hi,

Very usefull mod, only one problem: it doesn't send the notification email. And before anyone asks: yes the 'receive administrator emails' option is set to yes. How can I make it send the notification email even to the users who have selected not to receive them?

Just installed but could not see under user any option of Send PM to users, I imported and uploaded the file (product-hn_masspm.xml) and also hn_masspm to admincp on the server but after refreshing admin panel may times I don't see the option to send PMs.

Can some one help what could be a reason I could not see in ACP. I am using 3.6.8 Patch Level 2

[makofu]

Why do you assume this won't work on 3.7?
I've actually had some problems on 3.7 Beta 4. It doesn't send to all members and sends to some members multiple times. Anybody else having problems like I am? I will try to reinstall if not.

[Cristi_XP]

doesn`t anyone make this mod to sent mass PM to users that have the same User Profile field,for example same location ?

[ozmazdaclub]

does this work with vbulletin variable ie $username, $email, $userid etc?

[Big_Ern]

Uninstalled....

It showed up in the User menu, but screwed up my permission settings. The biggest thing I noticed right away is all users on my forum shouldn't have a limit to the size of all their attatchments, but when this mod is installed, every user (even the super admin) gets a limit of 0kb for all their attatchments and cannot post any pictures:(
I didn't even uninstall it - left the files on my server and just marked it as disabled, and that fixed my problems.

Anyone have any ideas?

Bump

Anyone know what might be causing my problem?

Same issue here.

[jedrus]

Hi,
is there any possibility for that you can modify this modification, to allow Group Leader to mass send private messages to their group? Or maybe you can give some hint how can I do that? I'll be very pleased!

[fta2k]

Working just fine on 3.6.8

[Boofo]

Bump

Well, I just looked at this hack and there is no way it can be doing what you say it is doing. The xml is just phrases. And the file won't do anything unless you access it. You have something else going on.

[Boofo]

Same issue here.

In the includes/xml/cpnav_hn_masspm.xml file, change this line:

<navgroups product="hn_masspm" master="true">

to this:

<navgroups product="vbulletin" master="true">

and you will see it after you refresh the admin cp. ;)

Any idea what it might be then? I'm running vB 3.6.8p2 with NO mods or hacks.

[Boofo]

I don't have any limits set for anyone. Try setting them to 0 (to disable) and see if that fixes it.

[Big_Ern]

I don't have any limits set for anyone. Try setting them to 0 (to disable) and see if that fixes it.

I don't have any limits set for anyone either. But when I install this mod, everyone has a limit of 1kb:erm:

Everyone (including newbies who are awaiting approval) are allowed unlimited attachments.

This is a great mod that will be very useful for me, so I hope we can find the problem and I can install it.:up:

[voter]

does this work with vbulletin variable ie $username, $email, $userid etc?

Seems not. Check the previous page

[cagbaazee]

Will it works with 3.7 vbulletin. do reply. thanks

[masterross]

hello,

thank you, installed and just used to send PMs to 22000 users, 500 users per once.

but in last page i recived this error:



Database error in vBulletin 3.6.8:

Hey your $user[userid] is not transfer between pages check what is wrong

[alphamarc]

How would you give access to "Send PM to users" to a user without giving him all the other admin permissions ?

Thanks for your help

[anoob]

Thank you for your help!
I removed all files from the previous version and did a fresh install, and it worked flawlessly.

[globalinsites]

Before I install this hack I have a question, probable a silly one.. Where on my server do I upload the files to? It says in the instructions 'pload all files in UPLOAD folder to your server' but it doesn't say to which directory etc. and I honestly haven't got a clue. Could someone tell me please? Cheers.

[globalinsites]

Can someone please tell me where exactly I need to upload the files to??

[Big_Ern]

I forget where they go, but this question was answered already. I remember reading it when I was trying to get mine working. 14 pages is a lot to look through, but take a read and you'll find it

cheers

[redlabour]

Does it work on vB 3.7 GOLD?

[mgurain]

very helpful hack, any update for 3.7 Gold ?

[Droptop]

Works on 3.7 Gold :up:

[dutchbb]

Can you add a feature to mass pm via your UserCP with:
- forced e-mail notification
- forced PM notifications popup

If not, are you perhaps considering adding a message (bb/font etc) editor in your send pm page in admincp?
Hello mtha

Can these option be added please? Would really add value to this mod imo,

Thanks

[Big_Ern]

Then you have something else messing with this when it is installed. I just checked and mine are all still set to 0.

I tried installing it again today after upgrading to 3.7.0 and am having the same problems. I checked the users permissions and it is still set to 0 (unlimited), but when a user (admin or regular user) tries to upload an attachment (jpg or any other type) they get a message that they're over their attachment limit


edit: after disabling and re-enabling this mod via the Product manager a few time trying to figure out what's wrong it has magically started working. And I didn't even change anything:confused: Glad it works now though:up:

[koxito]

Yey! Works on 3.7 GOLD!!! must update first post! :P Proved and working xD

[jdebler]

Yey! Works on 3.7 GOLD!!! must update first post! :P Proved and working xD

That's great! But does anyone know if the problem I mentioned in post #109 of this thread has been resolved with 3.7?

Are there any versions of this released for vb3.7?

[Ava-Kyrillos]

hello

tell me how to solve the pressing next page problem,
my forum is over 50.000 users
and I send the PMs for 500 users each time, so I have to click over 500 on mouse to finish all users.
I think you have the auto re-direct page to this hack

Thanks a lot

Why on earth would anyone want to be sending out 50,000 PMs? Yikes! :eek:

[GPTB]

I have this installed on vB 3.7.1 but even when I ask it not to, the script appears to be sending this to all members (including those that have declined to receive Admin e-mails) - this is a serious problem.

[jdebler]

I agree, it is a rather serious problem. It got me in trouble with a lot of my members who specified that they didn't want to be contacted by admins that way but did anyway. I explained this problem in post #109 nearly a year ago. I offered to pay someone to fix it in post #111, gave results of my testing in post #116, reminded folks that it doesn't work in post #206. I eventually had to start looking for an alternate way to mass PM my members, or at least only the ones who want them.

I appreciate any effort by programmers here because they can do what I cannot, but if it isn't going to be supported by the author then it shouldn't say that it will be in the product information. That way, there won't be any misunderstandings.

If someone is able and willing to update this and fix this huge bug I know I would really appreciate it.

[toonysnn]

I've applied a fix and sent it to GPTB in PM. If he would like to place it here, it's fine with me.

The fix has been tested and proved working on vBulletin 3.7.1 Patch Level 1.

[Boofo]

I would also be interested in that fix.

[GPTB]

I'm happy to place it here for the benefit of the community... I did pay for this fix so if anyone feels an urge to contribute to the cost of it feel free to send me a PM.

I've tested it and it seems to work :)

Simply replace hn_masspm.php with:

AND user.email <> ''

i 2nd that :D

[tekram]

Great Thx for the Fix

[dutchbb]

@mtha : Can you add email notification for every member, so they know they have a PM?

Some older mass PM hack had this and it really helped getting traffic to the forum.

I can donate for this to be added to the public release, thank you for the consideration.

[jkcerda]

be nice if it would work for3.7.0

[EagleNick]

be nice if it would work for3.7.0
It does. Read post #215

[redbrad0]

mtha, I see your home page is ou.edu are you here in Oklahoma? I live in Oklahoma City.

[redbrad0]

This forum has 15 pages, so sorry if this has been talked about before.

mytha, I beleive that a great addition to your mass pm's is to have a check box if the user should be emailed about the PM or not. If you have a very large forum, you might not want to email all members saying they have a PM but if you have a small list you might want to email all members.

Just something to think about.

[Goomzee]

Is this Mod work for 3.7.

[Flying Girl]

Hello,

I install it . but when I click " Send PM to All "

it shows :

Sorry, missing.
The page /vb/quoing/hn_masspm.php?do=start could not be located on this server.
Please contact the domain owner below if you feel you have gotten this page in error.

Please help

[yotsume]

again the same question does this work with vb 3.7

Please a reply. THANKS!

[thebassman]

Just installed on 3.7.2 and it works fine. Email notifications works as well (in the sense that people that want email notifications of PMs receive them).

[yotsume]

Installed on vb3.7.3 and no problems so far!

[yotsume]

Is there a way we can add the vb editor to the interface of sending out the PMs to users?

Also, if you put the full url in the PM message body it will not be a clickable link when user receives it in the PM. However it seems to be a link in the email that is sent to the user. Can this be fixed so that urls that we type are converted to clickable links when they view the PM on the web?

I really need that!

Just use the BBCode
www.url.com (http://www.url.com).
;)

[yotsume]

Yea I get how to use a BB code but this is called ugly code. I want to make a link just like in th reply here such as click here: Nice Non Ugly Link (http://www.nowherereal.com)

The PM interface is nice for filtering who you want to receive messages but this mod just lacks in the editor department. So my request to bring this hack to the next level is to pull in an editor please.

I have added a direct link to this in my admin only quick moderation block to save time reaching this function. On my board I use the PM User System often to reach out to our thousands and growing members.

So any chance you can add in an editor that is standard in VB already? Just doing it all code way to style the PMs is a severe waste of time. I have been opening my normal PM editor in VB typing a styled message then switching to code view, copying into your hacks message window. This looks great in the receivers PM but in the emails sent to them some of the code shows though.

Lets all chant together...

ADD AN EDITOR
ADD AN EDITOR!
PLEASE!!! :D

You can start a new website then called: www.PimpMyPMBaby.com (http://www.PimpMyPMBaby.com/)

DOH! :up:

[Luis Larios]

Hey Yotsume, just use the editor at any part of the forum and copy-paste the code!

[yotsume]

I did but the urls dont work nice that way in emails. The BB code that was posted is by far the best! But really this needs a editor just like in normal PMs. ;)

[thebassman]

If it's a long PM, you could always just compose it, but not actually post it, on your forums, then copy and paste into the AdminCP.

[Digital Jedi]

Yea I get how to use a BB code but this is called ugly code. I want to make a link just like in th reply here such as click here: Nice Non Ugly Link (http://www.nowherereal.com/)
You can still do that with BBCode:

Title of PM Here
Tag Line Here

Some PM message would go here that means something to other people. Just random text here from now on. Biu With a read editor it takes me two seconds to center, bold, font size etc. BB code for style sucks and this mod is missing one thing in its interface.... AN EDITOR!

How ya going to do even these simple style modifications with no editor intergrated with this mod. SUPER WASTE OF TIME TO JUST USE CODE!

I can make PMs that have style. With your mod here there is no nice way to style the PMs. So once again ill try and make ya understand I know how to use BB code. Its still the ugly way to do things. Someone take this mod to the next level and add in the editor that is already in place for PMs in the first place.

MY SUGGESTION REMAINS UNCHANGED!
Anyway having an editor integrated with this mod remains my suggestion for the people who just aren't following along. Right now there is no editor interface so you have to do everything the longer way to style your PMs here.

You know, you could have just said you wanted an Advanced Editor in the first place.

[thebassman]

If you're quick at BBCode, it takes practically no time at all to use the code vs. an advanced editor...

Are you insane? :rolleyes:

[thebassman]

Not at all... but obviously faster @ BBCode than you are. ;) I just don't see what the big deal is...

I'd have to agree that it's not as difficult as your making it out to be.

So please then turn off the editor that you all aren't using here on this forum.

WASTE OF TIME!!!

I style my PMs! Using BB code to do it is a pure waste of time! Enough said. Your view is selfish. Many users aren't good with code. Im glad you fast with BB code. Never faster then the editor above! LOL

Ill get this worked out and post a tweaked version ;)

Actually, my advanced editor is already turned off. Thanks for the suggestion. I'd argue that the ferocity of your statements are more inclined towards selfishness. BBCode aint that hard to type, plain and simple and I find the editor slower and imprecise. It puts the BBCode in the wrong places and/or adds too many tags and screws with the layout. Sometimes it doesn't even do what I told it to do.

But since we've already hijacked this thread with enough inanity, I'll leave it at that. I'm sure if the author thinks it's worth his time, he'll add it.
