Just edit that line in the XML file.

My bad. I wrongly assumed that the xml file change had to do with the original file, not the one amended to this thread.

Yes, it installs, it appears to work as usual, it creates the html email, and it "sends". But, unfortunately, the email never gets out (never receive it). Running the commbull task does not cause the email to send; vbulletin has no problem sending out test emails.

Get this jibberish when the commbull task is run:

Not sure what's going on; had always worked great on the 3.x series. Did something change mail wise with this and 4.x? Checked the email settings in options as suggested above, everything looks fine. (not using smtp, using php for mail, and it works for vbulletin tests. Do I need to use smtp mail for commbull??? This worked for as long as it existed, on my server, something happened with the 4 series. )

Found it.

It's the "Use Cron Based Sending" in the Vbulletin email options section. It's set to "yes" by default with the upgrade to 4.2; turn it off so commbull can send the email through vbulletin when it wants, not when vbulletin's cron email job runs.

But good lord, the css is a bit "blue" with the email; it doesn't take any cues from the forum theme (I seem to remember that it did in the past, maybe). Anyone have any good suggestion for colors for the commbull template htmlnew? Thanks!

What version of Commbull are you using, docvader?

DJ, 5.1a.
Was it the older version that took the theme from vbulletin?? Does that one still work? Same features?

Yes I'm still using version 4.5f. Still working on vBulletin 4.20.

Thanks DJ, I'll try it. I'll dig through my laptop and find it.

Just upgraded VB 4.1.12 to VB 4.20 PL 2 and now Commbull doesn't work.

Any ideas?

So this does NOT work with 4.2?

Please advise if this can be upgraded.

Thanks!

Nelson

No response? I will assume the newsletter does not work with 4.2 and will not work with 5.0 .
