View Full Version : Private Messages Enhancements - Mass PM Usergroups (NOT via admincp)
vBNinja
05-09-2014, 10:00 PM
This is a custom mod I created for the member: XSV_4ce and was given permission to release it here.
This mod basically allows specific usergroups (not required to be admins) to be given a list of other usergroups they are allowed to mass PM (can also be allowed to PM all usergroups)
A checkbox list of the allowed usergroups will show up above the PM message area (in private.php) for those given permission to use the feature (see screenshots)
Features:
Setting to allow only certain usergroups to use the mass PM feature
Setting to allow specific usergroups to mass PM all usergroups (overwrites custom permissions / [Useful for admin/mod usergroups])
Allows "custom permissions" in which usergroups can only mass PM a specific list of other usergroups
Note: Checking one or more usergroups to mass PM will overwrite the "BCC Recipients" field (should't be a problem, but just letting you know ;))
Please "Mark as Installed" for support/updates
Also don't forget to rate
Nominate for MOTM if you'd like as well :)
Installation Instructions:
Import the XML
Change settings to your liking (http://YOURDOMAIN.COM/admincp/options.php?do=options&dogroup=masspm_ugs_settings)
Enjoy!
Please let me know if you find any bugs
Thanks!

Sometimes cache is an issue, try visiting this page:
http://YOURDOMAIN.com/admincp/misc.php?do=clear_cache
Then see if it works

Can you PM me an admin login so I can check it out?

Updated to 1.1
Changes:
Fixed cache issue that prevented checkboxes from appearing at times
Fixed potential Tapatalk conflict
To update simply download the new XML and import with "allow overwrite" set to YES

Another mod is probably causing this

Does not seem to work on my Vers. 4.1.7
Screenshot of settings below. Why does it say no usergroups allowed?
Also, no selection boxes appear when creating new PM

I've reinstalled with overwrite, followed the directions, same result. Not working.

Sorry, didn't notice that bit. Any chance of a 4.1.x version?

This thing is amazing for my community since we are a multi gaming community and I needed my Guild Leaders to be able to PM members within their usergroups.
However members are in mutiple usergroups since we have a usergroup for each guild. So I modified this to look for if the member is in a secondary user group instead of their primary.
I hope VBNinja doesn't mind me posting how I did this.
Go to
http://www.yourforumname.com/admincp/plugin.php?do=modify
find
Product : Mass PM Usergroups
Then click the edit button where it says:
Process PM private_insertpm_process
Find
$masspm_recipients_q = $vbulletin->db->query_read_slave(
"SELECT username FROM " .TABLE_PREFIX. "user
WHERE usergroupid IN (".implode(',', $masspm_recipientugs).")"
);
And replace with this line
$masspm_recipients_q = $vbulletin->db->query_read_slave(
"SELECT username FROM " .TABLE_PREFIX. "user
WHERE membergroupids LIKE '%".implode(',', $masspm_recipientugs)."%'"
);
Save and your done.
Hope this helps anyone else looking to send mass pm's based on a secondary usergroup. Thanks VBNinja for a great mod!

This breaks if there is a ' in the usergroup name.

You need to be more descriptive so the developer knows what the issue are so he can potentially fix them.

When I try to send PM I get an error because some of my users have special characters but I see the list of receipents at that point.
I copied the BCC list and removed the bad names (Just 3 so easy to do).
Now when I try to send the PM to that list I just get a blank page.
So this is not technically an issue with the script I don't think.
Any help would be appreciated.

Well the error message you are getting would help. As well as the names that are causing the error. :)

Is it possible to set this up to allow you to message someone regardless to whether their usergroup is primary, or additional usergroup?
Edit: I followed Badhabitz's instructions below, and it appears that I can now PM both primary and secondary groups.

Give blank page :-s
This is what i am getting when i select my Registered users group to send a mass MSG to all other usegroups seem to be working fine just that one is not i have added the code for a secondry usergroup now that it only sends to a few users when i send a msg to registered users if you can think of a fix to this issue it will be a great help.
PS i think it maybe due to the # and others like [ {etc etc so if we can find a fix for that it would be appricated.

Uninstalled. Worked with vBulletin 4.2.2 but not 4.2.3 or 4.2.5.
Selecting to go to the "full editor" results in a page of the UserCP loaded with a blank spot where the full editor should be.
A shame, it was a useful modification.
