OK had a look through the thread and can`t seem to see an answer so I guess I`ll post it .... when I put text in the 'extra material' box in appears as plain text ... Any way I can get it to appear in a table same as the rest of the bulletin?

You can use almost any HTML editor and just copy the whole thing into the editor and add your text.. You could even use frontpage for this..

Hi,

I have this hack installed for long in a 17.000 members forums and working great in a Pentium 4 with 1GB of RAM cPanel Server.

I decided to change the server to a Dual Xeon 2 GB of RAM, and now the hack stop to work. I imported my account from cPanel to cPanel, so should have the exact setup, of course its different server now.

It does the preview well, but when I try to send to 300 members at time the newsletter times out.

I have to set to 10 to 20 members at once, and you can imagine how long it will take for a forum with 17.000+ members to send a newsletter.

I changed many setting in the new server but I dont know what else to do, maybe someone has an idea or experience with this.

Thanks!

Its got nothing to do with Commbull, you can checkup with your server administrator to increase the amount of emails that can be sent at once.

I've tried to install this a couple of times on my vB and have had the same issues each time:

1 - The install screen shows a bunch of changes that need to be made to code, but has no other text... Anywhere where there should be text is just "I". If I continue on past the install screen, the same thing happens.

2 - The phrases that are inserted have "I" as their text.

3 - The item never shows up on the admin screen menu.

Has anybody else experienced this? How do I fix it? This is on 3.0.7, if that matters.

Screenshots attached...

Can you give me any tip about where they should change that, seems that they don't know what to do.

Any hint will be really appreciated :)

Thanks!

He posted a few posts back but we do need someone who is motivated. I posted in requests, on vbulletin.com, i have exausted all my resources. I am even willing to pay for someones time and let the entire community have access to the code.

This is one of my favorite and most used hacks. I have almost 7,000 members I used this for on a regular basis and today it decided to mess up.

Today I received this error when sending:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/httpd/vhosts/makeuptalk.com/httpdocs/forums/admincp/commbull.php(1216) : eval()'d code on line 429

This was line 429:

Code:

"\$hotonly2 = $hotonly2; ".

Any ideas?

Sorry guys, I am a little lost here with regards to the installation of this hack.

I followed the instruction and uploaded the 3 files to the admincp as instructed by the original author.

The standard installation screen comes up and the first step is to "Modify User Option Templates -> modify options template after: ...."

I have no idea where to locate this template... any one can point me in the right direction for this first step? please...

A feature I would like on commbull is to know how many people it actually sends out to. I know how many registered members I have, but probably many have unsubscribed.

Any update on whether or not this will become available for 3.5?

I have converted it for my forums. It's an important hack for us. I will not be supporting it or posting it however. I have contacted the author and offered him the code. Beyond that, I have no clue what will happen. He may even have his own plans.

The latest author has said the code is free to share. But, I am not posting anyone's code that I modified ever again for personal reasons.

I sent him a copy and asked him to post it. I would monitor the thread though since he is very busy and can't support the hack any longer if that happens.

aldamon

10-06-2005 01:09 PM

Don't need support. All I need is a description of the modified files and simple instructions, just like every other version of this hack for the last 4 years.

Toneboy

10-07-2005 11:23 AM

I might go down the newsletter road then rather than wait for a hack I found to be quite buggy with the 3.0.x series.

I see no option for sending this automatically....it says that it sends weekly but I assume that means if I manually send it weekly?

That is correct, it is not a cron job.

I dont know if anyone can help me, since this is now mostly a 3.5 website (as it should be, I will switch one day too). My Commbull worked absolutely fine for about 3-4 months, then today I get this error when clicking on "Send community bulletin" in Admincp:

Code:

Warning: Unknown(/home/aquatic/public_html/forum/admincp/commbull.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0



Warning: Unknown(/home/aquatic/public_html/forum/admincp/commbull.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0



Warning: (null)(): Failed opening '/home/aquatic/public_html/forum/admincp/commbull.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in Unknown on line 0

What's up with that? I have not updated my forum at all in a while, and it worked last week fine. Please help. The file is still on the server.

You are getting a permissions error, make sure commbull.php has execution and read rights (755) set.

Went to send the Community Bulletin this week and found the drop down options for "Show info starting from this date" only go up to 31.12.2005.

Is there any way of extending the date into 2006 and beyond? If so how do I do it please. I inherited the board with this hack installed, but wouldn't like to be without it.

Thanks

Maybe we are using this for different reasons, but I dont think you'd want it a cron job. This is something of a newsletter, where you write the first part up, putting in important information (new articles, things going on on the site...) Interesting stuff, and then give them the dry "posts and birthdays"

I do it weekly, have done for over a year now, I think. If it's interesting nobody takes themselves off the list, if you just cron them the dry news you lose most of 'em.

how? Please and thanks....err.. nm.. here you go..

open commbull.php from the admin cp..

search

Quote:

<td><select name='fromyear'>".makedateselect(1999,2005,$datebi ts[2])."</select></td></tr></table></td></tr>";

and replace with

Quote:

<td><select name='fromyear'>".makedateselect(1999,2009,$datebi ts[2])."</select></td></tr></table></td></tr>";

that should work. Added it upto 2009.

Hope this is correct in all areas.. Worked for me.

All times are GMT. The time now is 01:50 AM.
