Anyhow let us figure that one out and we'll surely get it pegged for you, because this is a registration thing you see? When they register for your forums they need to check the box on the optional area at the end if you use it, "Receive e-mails from admins." this extra opt for html or text, will be needed in there as a "Required" as per your needs you see?
Yeah, definitely not "as easy as 1-2-3", but something we will surely look into, at the least.

I'm a little surprised vBulletin doesn't already ask user's preference on this.

Anyway, adding this would require we went in and manually edited vBulletin files, which I like to stay away from as much as possible because then you have to:

A) Have a user overwrite his existing file, which could cause REAL trouble for users with different vB versions or for users who have edited that given file themselves before
B) Have a user manually edit the file, which is an inconvenience and is unprofessional in my opinion. One or two edits isn't a big deal, but the edits required on this scale would be a lot more astronomical.

Anyway, I will look into it and see if there's some way we can't make it an easier edit, maybe somewhere in their User CP or something, but at first glance, I'd say don't get your hopes up on this one.

EDIT: Was pondering this and began to wonder if it can't be done with the plugin system.

Will definitely look into this idea for v1.2 or 1.3.

Thanks for all the ideas, Church!

I highly recommend this product...I mean c'mon, just don't eat at mcdonalds for a day and you'll have a great product, made by great people, with absolutely great support.

Kudos to blog and the team!
Your support and feedback is greatly appreciated =]

blogtorank 08-23-2007 04:22 AM
Update and Upgrade availble for all:
  • 'Unique reads' statistic addition, no charts
  • Attachment via compose email only

you are calling it All in ONE E-mail Solution

If that is the case, I will buy the pro version if you add this feature that I would love!

feature: auto respond email/pm to paid subscriptions

There is already one of vb.org but it is buggy, and it does not have the feature to make up a different email template per subscription.

If you can do this, then I would call it a All in ONE E-mail Solution and would buy it for sure!

Let me know what you think. thanks.
Hey let me know is this what you are looking for here?

Yeah well this sort of support from member's like you are great!!!

So finding the problem of Zend and IONCUBE can cause a lot of problems, as you had vbseo installed and the Zend version with it. So as a note to anyone that has issues with IONCUBE and Zend, you can simply just add a Zend Extension to your php.ini as an example:

Quote:
[Zend]
zend_extension = /usr/local/Zend/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_4.4.so
zend_extension_manager.optimizer=/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer-3.2.2
zend_extension_manager.optimizer_ts=/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer_TS-3.2.2
zend_optimizer.version=3.2.2
zend_extension=/usr/local/Zend/lib/ZendExtensionManager.so
zend_extension_ts=/usr/local/Zend/lib/ZendExtensionManager_TS.so
See the first line? I installed ioncube to a folder under Zend and took it from there by adding the line zend_extension = /usr/local/Zend/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_4.4.so

Which he had this error when viewing our mod:

Quote:
Site error: the file /home/xxxxxxxxxxx/public_html/forums/admincp/vbmailer.php requires the ionCube PHP Loader ioncube_loader_lin_4.4.so to be installed by the site administrator.
Overall in layman's terms, IT WORKS! :)

Anyhow great to know that we are doing great for you. If you require anything else feel free to let us know.

We can't send your emails for you.... Can you explain more of what you are having issues with?

Create an email
Send the email to all your forum members
That's it?

This is because they only support in the base code of vbulletin of text and bbcode... Doesn't support full html :)

blogtorank 08-23-2007 09:09 AM
Ok so far a To-Do per Church:
  1. I'd like to be able to choose which usergroups to send to.
  2. I'd like to be notified of which users bounced and I'd like the option to selectively delete those users.
  3. I'd like a separate user setting for if users want an email or not. So they can turn that on and off in their user CP.
  4. I didn't see a way to delete a future emailing after you've created it. I think that needs to be in there.
Anymore you add it from below this post labeled "Requests" please!

There are different ways to sending... One is to send now by clicking Compose E-mail Then put in your e-mail content in the text and html area or whatever combo.

Press the Send, and then it'll take you to the preview page then you set it from there to send now by just hitting Send or you can schedule the time from there. See the manual that outlines all these options. 20+ pages worth to read and view images! :)

Thanks. I was just making suggestions because you encouraged me too. If I'm being a pest I'll stop.

EDIT: As for letting the user choose plain text or email -- and a separate switch for receiving the newsletter or not -- I also own commbull and Geek Gazette. They both have these features. I guess I'm asking for the best of both worlds.

No biggie, we make an "Add-on" and build a plugin feature into our vbmailer before long that's the same thing we did here for MadMailer

We built what you call a "Universal Plugin" so now we are looking to expand vbmailer this way as it seems! Because your choose from html or text will be a series of changes and will require an add-on to our vbMailer!

BTW, no you aren't no pest, we only build the BEST which is what the end-user wants.

Here's my problem:
I have all the emails going from the site being sent through azzidreign@se7ensins.com
and I have set up my gmail account to accept those emails and then remove them from the server....will vbmailer be able to get any of the bounced emails and go through its bounced process?

Also, how do I set up the SMTP information or do I need to? I've never really messed with mail clients :S
Well if you set up SMTP this is just like setting up a POP3 account inside a mail client such as outlook and etc... Once you have a successful connection setup inside vbmailer will login to this connection using our pop3 class to handle all the bounces accordingly.

What I would do is this:

Setup a new user on your forums with something like: lksfasklfsadfh8asdfhysauidf@aol.com as their e-mail address.

After having all of the SMTP in place, vbMailer will take care of the rest when you send out an e-mail. From Sending the e-mail, to handling the bounces and then making sure they are inactivated on all e-mail correspondence to and from the forums (and sent a PM inside the FULL version which you have I believe). Follow me so far? :)

And would I have to have it log into my main gmail account or will it be able to log into my @se7ensins.com account via my gmail :S grr, so confused.
Here you go using Google's SMTP for vbMailer as follows:

Quote:
Username: Enter your full Gmail email address (username@gmail.com)

Password: This is your gmail password...

Mail Server: smtp.gmail.com


Learn more on how to setup here:

I hope this helps ya out and any others!

blogtorank 08-23-2007 08:39 PM
One more thing to note, you have to turn Forwarding / POP3 on inside Gmail, go to your Settings inside your Gmail account and see this tab: Forwarding and POP

Make sure you have this enabled to use this feature! (In Yahoo you have to pay for this feature :rolleyes:)

Edit:

Some may have issues with the logging into gmail, but make sure your firewalls allow the following ports per Google:

AzzidReign 08-24-2007 02:46 PM
I have a new suggestion now.

When you go to fill out the SMTP information, can you make it so that the password shows up as asterisks? I'd rather my admins not have my personal login information XD

EDIT: I'm getting some stupid errors :(

That's what I get, though I've removed certain parts of that with ****. But this is my 3rd test. My first 2 tests were with my admin usergroup (the quoted above is testing my mods). 2 out of 4 emails sent to my admins on both admin tests. On this mod test, 5 out of 6 were sent out. I've tried to look through stuff but I can't find anything. I even upped the max exec. time for php files from 120 to 500 but I still get the same as setting it to 120.

EDIT: I figured it out! I know why it's timing out! All the people that aren't receiving the emails have the setting for RECEIVE EMAILS FROM ADMINS set to NO! Is there any way to make it skip them so it doesn't time out or some sort of work around for this...? B/c on this last test, one of my staff emails bounced so his email settings were set to off. So when I go to run this again, the script seems to get caught in a loop.


EDIT #2: Maybe I was wrong about that....I've set all my admins to working emails + they can receive emails from admins now. And I still get the same error:

There seems to be a configuration on your server that's giving this much grief of killing off the script... I'll get with you and figure this out, did you update to v1.2 and this is on your main forums now and not the test forums?

Make sure your sleeper is off, because this may help or even solve the problem.

Check your vbMailer settings.

I did have it at 0 when I did the first test. But it shouldn't be a problem since it's only emailing 5 people at most and the sleeper is for 25 emails if I remember correctly.

Oh it is server-side, and I have been server-side with this server for over 6+ hours today, finding this as one culprit:

PHP Code:
disable_functions = show_source, system, shell_exec, popen, proc_open, allow_url_fopen 
Among other culprits as barring to send out via SMTP... :( Alot of restrictions in place here on this server and for another I have a success here:

#--------------v1.2.3-LITE--------------#
  • Fixed a security vulnerability to our the tracker and the /admincp/vbmailer.php
  • Fixed a bug within our product install. (Recommend you do a fresh install of this product file)
  • Fixed a few other minor things and we highly recommend a download and update immediately.
Full has been updated at the CSC

Best regards

blogtorank 08-26-2007 08:42 PM
Alot have asked via PM and through our CSC of how come this is v1.2.3 and the FULL version is v1.2.1, well because LITE and FULL versions do differ to answer that, we will bring them both up to v1.3 here shortly after adding in other options that were requested. Stay tuned. We apologize on any confusion there, so if you have any questions on what's different. Please read the Description of this Expansion (Mod) vs the Full and compare screenshots. :)

Best regards!

blogtorank 08-27-2007 12:05 AM
Updated the download EPC VBMAILER v1 2 3 LITE.zip to reflect the Current version, we have matched this up in the FULL just now as well. So enjoy and let us know if there are any other recommendations that you would like to see within this! Coupons are back on the FULL version! We welcome all feedback.

Have you figured this out? It's very easy to do by simply using Compose e-mail and preview what you are sending, set the time when you want to send it and done.
