Is it full 3.0.7 compatible?

I have no reason to believe it wouldn't work with 3.0.7, but if you get any problems feel free to let me know.

Ok I'll try in a test environment. I have two large boards running and I don't want them anything to happen :).

Nice hack :)

Zero from your experience do you know why when using your hack a white screen appears and only admins get the PM's?

Well, the only explanation to that i can think of is a bad upload, the script is working fine for me on 3.0.7

Also, this doesn't support Secondary Usergroups.

- Zero Tolerance

I'm the 100th install :-) Very useful little hack, thanks.

in a 18.000 user database, i put 300 send pm times, and after tried 50, and get stuck... only the blue screen of cp, and nothing more.. only appears at top, PM Users [Created By Zero Tolerance].

Zero. I will not question your way to make hacks, but checking a few posts back, i see that the users with a lot of records in USER table in database, get stuck when trying to send this. You replied that's is a UPLOAD problem.. or any other problem like this.

I will explain this for you.. checking your hack, it's really good constructed, but you miss a little detail. when you LIMIT the send of PM's, you must LIMIT the QUERY to DB too.

I looked that the query is static in all "retries" to send PM's:

this will return a query result with ALL your members in the usergroup / user table.. if you have 25.000 members in the group "Registered", the query result will have 25.000 records, and before you get the reply from DB, you mysql will go down.

The way to solve this, is LIMIT the query to database, in the one by one step to sending pm's. (LIKE the vB do while sending mass emails)

Example:

Sending to 150 users in usergroup 6, send amount by step is set in 50.

- START SCRIPT
- CHECK THE AMOUNT OF PM'S SENT BY STEP (50)
- QUERY DATABASE TO USERGROUP 6, LIMIT RECORDS FROM 0 TO 50
- SEND PM'S 0 TO 50
- SHOW OK RESULTS AND CONTINUE TO NEXT STEP (SEND THE "STARTAT")
- QUERY DATABASE TO USERGROUP 6, LIMIT RECORDS 51 TO 100 (START - START + AMOUNT)
- SEND PM'S 51 TO 100
AND CONTINUE... TO END

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

your actual script works like this:

Sending to 150 users in usergroup 6, send amount by step is set in 50.

- START SCRIPT
- CHECK THE AMOUNT OF PM'S SENT BY STEP (50)
- QUERY DATABASE TO USERGROUP 6, NO LIMIT RECORDS (ALL RESULTS)
*** IF THE USERS ARE A LOT, YOU GET A HANGED DB IN A SUPER BIG QUERY **

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

It will be much better if you correct this issue... :D

One more thing: I would like to NOT include the sending Admin's signature-line (or at least have it as a yes/no checkbox). How can that be done please?

Thanks!

I find this hack.. VERY useful. I installed it today.

However I have a question. When i sent an PM to all my members using this mod, no one got a automated email in their inbox telling them that they have recieved a new PM (!?)

any suggestion what could be wrong. they all get notified otherwise.

can I *bump* the thread to if anyone has any comments on my question?

You already did ;).

Sending a PM notification mail is not implemented in this hack. Since this hack is already very server intensive, i also don't know if that would be a good idea.

PS If you want to reach them by mail anyway, why don't you just send out a mass mail instead of a PM?

I'd still like to know how to NOT include the sender's SIG-line....

I click send PM and all I get is a blank page. No error nothing and it just sits there?

mili

gettting same problem as many people......can send a mass pm to a few people, but as i got 6500 members when i try and send them a pm the page goes blank...even when i try sending 25 at a time.

is there a fix for this?

i'm using this hack .. very effective ..

however ..
when a user normaly sends a PM it they also recieve an email telling them they have recieved a PM etc .. when sending with the hack no email is sent .. can this be added as an option .. it may well increase the server load .. however lowering the sends at one time could make this ok

we are waiting the BUGFIX to the error generated trying to send pm to a big user database (I writed the solution above..) if you want to make it tell us, if not, i will make a new hack with this bug fixed, and release with another name.

greetz..

just do a fix no big deal. No need to confuse users. just say hey I found a work around and here it is... done.

I know I will be waiting.

That worked perfectly for me!! Thanks.... this is an awesome hack and your right..... very easy install.

Thanks for another great hack!!

I have just a small site, around 250 users. There is a subset of members on that site(my baseball team) that I want PMs to send to. From reading what this can do and the screenshots this will not do it. Is there such a thing available?

Zero, did you figure out how to implement the second usergroup into this hack yet, or is it not going to happen? Thanks.

I get this exact same problem :(:(

I am wondering if this problem is because I use a subdomain for my forums, if so is there a way round this??

Watson

Any fix or change for second usergroup.

I need to send mass PM's to a usergroup that has only additional users.

Hello Sir ,
