Hope that this proves useful...

That would mean the task didn't run. can you confirm the php file was uploaded to the correct location? If you want to post your forum URL I can check.

Was there any error shown when you manually ran the task?

That is interesting, it did insert it into the database but it didn't even attempt to make a PM or post.

Was there any delay between the time you installed the mod and the time you setup the PM and / or posting options?

Are you sure in settings you have Send PMs? set to YES, and valid userids (numbers, not names) for both the PM reciever(s) and PM sender?

At this point the news items were stored in the database so you wouldn't get the old news resent unless you delete it from the database.

If you want use a tool like phpmyadmin and TRUNCATE the table bop_adminnews in the database. That will basically reset the mod and it will re-send the news items again.

Curious- Has anyone got PMs or Posts of the existing news items after they installed?

Not sure about that, I will attempt a re-install and overwrite.

I didn't originally have it set as yes to PM's, I had it set to Post News as New Threads. Bit of confusion here..

I will re-install, and try the TRUNCATE option..

Cheers..

Did as instructed, didn't do the re-install. Went for the send PM's set to yes.
PHP Myadmin and performed the TRUNCATE.
Ran the cron job manually and received 5 notifications...

The confusion I think is in the Post News as New Threads. I thought they would all land where designated.

Cheers Joe, hopefully this will be a helpful reference for others....

My url is in my signature.

No errors while running the task.

The problem is the UserID of New Thread Poster is 0, it needs to be a valid userid.

Each of the 3 options (PM, New Thread, New Posts) all need to have the poster id set independently, in case you wanted a different user to send the PMs then you wanted to make new threads for example.

You also should need a valid userid of the Userid of PM Sender .

Sending you a PM...

It works awesome on my forum. BOP5 is the best vbulletin coder ;)

I see some news came in tonight missing links, will work on it. Was kind of limited with what I had to work with to only the few news items originally in the queue. The important thing is you'd know of the exploit (though in this case it is only for VB5)
