For some reason I don't think my commbull.php file is un-zipping correctly.

Can someone post a .txt version of it here?

Thanks for all your help everyone!

I've been looking at the script, and it looks like it's supposed to create a receivebulletin field in my user table.

After the error I thought I would check and it is not adding the field for me.

So I thought I would try and force it with the action=install option. But still getting the same error message.

uugg..

Here's a copy. The HTML color variables are set for my board. You'll need to edit those:

I still get the same error with your copy.

Damn, I wish I knew what was going on, I REALLY could use this script. :(

Have you tried the original non-HTML version to see if that works?

Ooops, I see you already did above.

Try this
Find this
and replace with this
I was working on including the text and html option. It may be causing the problem.
Line 831 is } and line 832 is blank

Just tried the fix....

Now getting the error:

Can you post a few lines above and below this } so I can maybe take a look?

Thanks!

Are you being prompted for the admin login page before getting the error code. It should show up first before proceeding on to the commbull install.
Try setting the full path to the require(./global.php) file

829 <?php
830
831 }
832
833 //########################
834
835 if ($action == "changelog") {
836
837 echo "<b>Community Bulletin Email Gen....."

No, I am not being prompted for a log-in. And I tried the full path. Same error.

Try clearing your cookies before running commbull.php. It seems like it is trying to run the program and not install it.

I should have let you know in the last post....

I ran it from a different machine that was logged out of my VB and didn't have any cookies. :(

That was one of the first things I thought of when you told me it should be prompting me for a log-in.

I also tried forcing it to install using the "commbull.php?action=install" link. Should I try a different syntax?

I think it's an admin permissions problem. Have you tried with a different user account that has admin permissions. Yes &action=install is correct. The other actions are info, changelog and preview

The problem is that I don't even get the option to log-in so I can't try it with a different admin account. :(

I have to leave for the night (dinner with the wife) But I'll pick this back up tomorrow. Thanks for all your help!

It's what you've all been waiting for the "Text" OR "HTML" option,
and other options (of course)
:surprised

Sweet! When by any chance? 2nite?? :eek: lol might it have a save feature?? ;)

The newest news and email community bulletin release is here

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=32517

The script sends an empty e-mail if sending mails less than 300 at a time. I need someone to confirm this as my users will be annoyed if I keep on sending blank e-mails.

We have sent many bulletins with this script to less than 300 people. It has always worked fine.

Sorry for whats probably a dumb question, but I did a search and couldnt find any reference...

What are the Threads Block 1 to 4 for ?

and whats the purpose of "Reuse threads gathered for this block"?

hallo. i want ask where that hack hold defoult template for generation e-mail?

P.S. Anywhere it`s a super hack!!! Good Luck!
P.P.S Sorry for my english 8)

This hack doesn't use templates, all the HTML is in the PHP file.

NTLDR, thanx a lot, i already got it ;)

thanks :)

I have just tested this - very cool! Actually none of the testmails that I sent yesterday was received by people - BUT that was due to my host having it's own short problem with php email! This morning the hack worked just great.

One question: I altered the html that is sent out (cut and paste from Frontpage) - how do I get the images to go along with the email so they show when viewing the mail?
Imgaes that are linked only show when online.

this hack used to work great for me untill I upgaded to the latest version and now when I try to generate a newsletter it just hangs then comes up url not found ??

Any Ideas as I love this hack

I've been getting messages from members saying that they are getting two copies of the newsletter when I submit it.

What might cause this to happen?
