Please forgive me if this has been answered already, I did search lol

I know we can view the quickstats in the admin as to how many emails are in the queue, is there a place we can view the actual emails that are queued? Like a list?

Paul M 07-18-2012 11:45 AM

No, there isnt.

I am having an issue that maybe someone else has ran into or can help me with. I use the following newsletter https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=190082 (paid version) and have for years and it has worked fine, I send it monthly to members.

I did an uninstall of the Paul's cron based email mod for reasons which are not important. With that being said I have reinstalled the cron based email mod and put the settings back to what I thought they were in vb email settings, see attachments. i also use Hostgator which allows 500 emails per hour and with the email cron job never had an issue with my host.

Now, after reinstalling the email cron job mod and go to send the newsletter it says it sends about 452 which it should be sending about 3000+. Once it hits 452 it just stops, no error messages, no bounce backs etc. I just can't figure it out, are my settings wrong? did I miss something.

I can tell you this, I upgraded my bulletin from 3.8.4 to 3.8.7 a few months ago.

What I did come to find last night is that I forgot to update step 2 template change:
Step 2.

In includes/functions.php

find ;

exec_mail_queue();

change to ;

// exec_mail_queue(); // Paul M - Cron Mail Queue Hack //

I went in and did the edit, reinstalled the product.xml and chose overwrite, all other setting were not touched or changed. all edits completed as directed. any help would be appreciated.

thanks in advance.

Tom

I have removed this system, it conflicts with something else and slows down, posting and reply on my site, the only thing I can thing of is perhaps Tapatalk.

Paul M 10-28-2012 08:58 PM

This cannot slow down posting or replying, there is simply no connection between the two.

Well,
When quoting or replying to a post, it "hung" for seconds, 10 seconds or more at times. I turned off all mods and had no issue with "hanging." Then I turned 4 - 5 mods off at a time trying to find the culprit.

When I got to this mod and disabled it, replies and quotes worked flawless. Although this mod no longer works for me (I wish it did) see a few posts above, I really have no use for it and just deleted it anyway, but I did try enabling it and disabling it to be sure this was in fact the problem - it was this mod, no question.

A lot of different mods have come about over the last few years and this mod, clearly has not had any real updates or changes to keep it up to date and working properly, so with that being said, my opinion is it is conflicting with another mod, perhaps a newer mod of sorts that could conflict with this one, and my guess is Tapatalk - particularly the 'push' feature in Tapatalk, not sure how or why, but it is my guess.

The old version of this mod before your last change worked flawless for me though. It's a shame, this was a great tool for forum owners who utilize news letters or large email distribution with limits in how many emails they can send per hour due to hosting limits.

Thanks for the reply though.

p.s. If you could so kindly supply me with the old .php file and .xml plugin - I would gladly take it back, install it, and hopefully begin sending my newsletters again. Honestly, I'm no coder, so i can't tell you why, I just know before I update the 3.8 version of this mod, it no longer worked for me. Only change on my end was upgrading to 3.8.7 from 3.8.4 - I did update the files on my server as well as the .php and new .xml plugin.
