The version before this one worked perfect, this version is sending blank emails, times out etc etc, the last version used cron and worked perfect for me. How can I get the last version?

Perfect. That fixed it. Thanks for your help and great mod. Can't wait to send my first newsletter.

Did anybody try to include the Latest Albums in the Commbull emails?

Would appreciate any help.

DEGE, that would be wonderful if there's a way to do it. :)

I'd like to know if there's a way for admin to know who has unsubscribed or bounced back?

unsubscribed would be easy. i'm still looking for an easy way to handle bounce backs ... currently it's all server stuff.

It's working, however emails are not being sent in HTML form despite the users having it selected. Any suggestions?

is this a problem that people are telling you about or is this the form that you are receiving? The first place to look is in your email headers that are sent. Make sure that the headers are formed correctly. Do you have any other mods that may modify the email headers?

I've recently used Commbull for the first time. I had HTML emails sent to every email except for Gmail ones. At Gmail it appears as an HTML attachment, no name, no text. If you open the attachment it shows ok. Anyone with similar experiences?

Second problem was that it sent itself three or four times to each user... still don't know why...

I'd be willing to pay for someone to port this to VB4.

the no name attachment problem was fixed in the last update.

not sure why you would be getting it multiple times to users as it is sending to unique only. I did have a problem with the auto-send to next page. If it's too low, it will submit a blank form and start from the beginning.

Hi,

I am on the mailing list and what I receive is plain text, no option to turn HTML on like you can on some emails that others send you. Is there an option somewhere that I am missing in the ACP? I made sure in the database that the field for allowing HTML is there and that I have a 1 set.

hello is compatible with vb 4.02 ?? thankssss

@grandeur_69,

How do you define "too low"? LOL :D My autopage timing is at 1

The only modified thing I have is the template. May I have it broken up by my inexperience? Is there any "END" signal at the template?

By the way, I've resolved the HTML issue. Now it sends 3 times in a row, but nice and colourful :D

I just did an upgrade to this latest version and encountered a problem. I tried reimporting it and overwrote all the files and it didn't fix it....:(

When I click on the settings tab, I get:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/teambuic/public_html/forums/admincp/commbull_functions.php(62) : eval()'d code on line 4
Community Bulletin Email Generator version 5.0

When I click on the send tab, I get:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/teambuic/public_html/forums/admincp/commbull_functions.php(62) : eval()'d code on line 4

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at [path]/admincp/commbull_functions.php(62) : eval()'d code:4) in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 3087




I just did an update on the settings and all seems alright!!!:)

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...o+email&page=2

Once i did this i started receiving the mailers instead of the blank ones..though iam at a loss to explain the linkage :)

Very Cool

yes, RTFM, RTFM, RTFM

I cannot count anymore the times I have said

RTFM

To My Self of Course

Great Mod

Bumping my question. :)

sry, must have missed your question. yes, there is an option but not in the ACP ... i've never tried to put a setting in there. The option is only in the front under the UCP.

PS. hopefully next week, my team and I will start working on the vb4 version. We will try to add the cron feature back in, but no guarantees as many users still have problems with server load and we haven't been able to find a reasonable solution.

I've been sending the newsletter for several weeks but yesterday I tried to send it again and nothing happened. It seems to work, It says that the emails are sent, but there's nothing in the email inbox.

I've tried reinstalling Commbull and several other tests. I've also tested email function in my Vbulleting and it's working ok ( I do receive other notifications by email and also can send emails by Control Pannel)...

Is there any way to test where the problem is?

Thanks

check your junk mail. if you have database access and you are using vbulletin's mailqueue, then you can watch the mailqueue table for added emails

I did check my spam, junk email folder. Also I'd try with several kind of emails (hotmail, gmail, yahoo). I do not have the queue enabled... Should I?

I have to tell you the same.
My older version which worked without a problem before always showed me, that the mail would be sent.
After many months of vb updates and other new addons a user asked why there was no commbull for such a long time.
After testing upgrading, downgrading and upgrading again, some user received mails some not.
And after testing of the versions i've got "mail delivery failure" email sent from a commbull sent 5 days ago.

I thougt an addon is causing the problem but you can never know... ;)
Just wanted to mention that.

Normal forum emails are sent as ususal (subscriptions, activation mails and so on...)
I'm still checking!

interesting. We have commbull running on 8 of our forums and on another 13 with a client and all the forums have different add-ons and we have not experienced any of these problems. We do have all our forums with vb mailqueue on, so maybe that'll be something we have to look into a bit further when we do the upgrade to vb4.

You know we also have the old commbull running on about 30 forums without a problem. I took the whole installation package from there but it didn't work on the one I'm talking about.

The only addon of which I know was installed last was the mighty google translation addon (VB enterprise translator) from NLP-er.
That's what I can say, but I didn't had the time to inspect every little corner of my board. So at this time I think it's my own fault. ;)

Great news!

Interesting Newsletter Mod.

I have 3 questions:

-1. Is there a way/option to Exclude Certain Usergroups from Getting the Newsletter?
(this is very important because even if the users are subscribed to threads, for some usergroups would be nice for them Not to receive Newsletters). :confused:

-2. How can I Massive Disable the Option "Receive Community Bulletin Newsletters"? :confused:
(I can see that is Enabled by Default but I need to disable it for Existing Users once this Mod Installed)

-3. How can I choose for the "Receive Community Bulletin Newsletters" to be Disabled by Default? :confused:
(I think is better to let the Users Choose if the want to be Included on the Newsletter and not to Force them to Receive the First One to Choose to be Excluded)

My Best Regards.

:)

Yes.

You can use a MySQL database query:

You can use phpMyAdmin to modify table user.receivebulletin to set default to 0. That way any new members will also have it set to default.

Or, if you haven't yet installed it,

1. edit product-Commbull.xml
2. at around line 22, find

3. change the '1' to '0'

4. at around line 27, find

5. change to

thanks DJ for responding :) ... I have absolutely nothing that I can add to that. I had already changed the mod for future updates to change the default settings to 0 to comply with SPAM policies.

Thank You Very Much For Your Reply and Guide. :up:

I Have One Final Question that Comes From My First Question:

-1A How Can I Exclude Certain Usergroups From Receiving the Newsletter? :confused:

- What is the Option I Should Set and Where is it Located (or the Process / Plugin Edits / File Edits I Should Modify) to Exclude Specific Usergroups From Getting the Newsletter? :confused:

I Tried to Find it but I Didn't Saw it. :(

I Appreciate Your Support, the Mod is Very Interesting and I'll be Testing it on my Test Forum. ;)

My Best Regards.

:)

It's in the setup for the newsletter itself:

Admin CP | Users | Send CommBull Newsletter (or words to that effect)

In there you can select which forums to include and how many of each type of thread/poll etc. to include as well as which usergroups will receive the newsletter.

Thank You Very Much For Your Reply. :up:

I Found the List of Usergroups at the End of

ACP > Community Bulletin > Settings

Below the "Include Info From Forums..." and under the Title "Mail users from the following usergroups...". :up:

I Appreciate Your Guide.

My Best Regards.

:)

Sure would like to see an example of an HTML email before using this. Can someone post a screenshot. Thanks... :up:

we wait grandeur_69; for Commbull (Community Bulletin) for vb 4.0.2

This commercial product has been released here as a free product because the author, grandeur_69, no longer has the time to keep up with the necessary upgrades. The hope, I believe, was that others would pick up the product and extend it for 4.x.
