Right. But for some reason, on mine choice section, it does not show the user's current choice.

I have reinstalled this twice and even tried it with the older version and still had the same problem.

Anyone?

hello,

i want delete the option for html e-mails.

I want only send in text mod.

Can me anybody help, please ?

The Matrix

christec, any ideas on mine?

why would you want to remove the html emails? this is the best part of this hack, although I will admit that the colour's used are not too good.

I have modifed the Newsletter and i don't want mal a HTML version.

I have now fixed my problem. I have delete the HTML option from the script.

The Matrix

One thing that you might need to check is the database, i noticed that when I first run this hack, all of the members on my forum where automaticly set to get html emails, you will have to check that this is not true on your forum, or everyone is going to get html email anyway.

I have the same problem as cditty and I hope somebody can help us out on this, lots of my members pm me constantly with this question, why it don't show up.


Please, please, please help us out.

Many thanks in advance to anyone who can figure out this little bug.

Folks the optional hacks in admin/user.php (4) are what you need for this, also the modifyoptions template, member.php, I would re-check your code. This post is a bit late, have you got it sorted out?

Well, I'm glad to see that I am not the only one having this problem. I won't even send a newsletter out because if a use wants to unsubscribe, it'll confuse them because there is nothing to indictation their selection.

anybody tried it with 2.2.4?
I can't make it to work, everytime I click on preview, it stays forever, and then the server times out

We just sent one out tonight with 2.2.4 and it worked.

I would like to use this mod to send an email to users who have not posted in the last x days, for example those who have not posted in the last two weeks. Is this possible?

OK it looks like the easiest way to do this is to create a new user group like "members-inactive", move the members who have not posted or visited in a while to that group, and then send to that group only.

Then I can manually move people between groups if they do visit or as new people become members of the inactive group.

I figure there's no point in emailing people the new topics if they're visiting my forum everyday or every couple of days anyway.

Very nice mod BTW.

Another thing which would be nice would be to have a (View) link next to calendar events linked to the detailed event info.

This is working great for me and I absolutely love it! I do have a problem though. For some reason my dates are screwed up. For example, the "Most Recent Threads" section is sending out threads with a date in 2003!? I viewed those threads and the dates are actually in 2001. Any ideas?

A little more info on this that I got from staring at the email I sent myself. It seems that the dates that are getting screwed up depend on the date of the last reply in a thread. If the last reply was at the end of the month then the date of the thread starting is messed up. Here is what I am getting:

If the last reply was 10-31-2001 then the original thread is change to 7-10-2003.

Last reply of 8-31-2001 changes to 7-8-2003, 7-31-01 to 7-7-03, 7-30-01 to 7-06-2003, 5-31-01 to 7-5-03, 3-31-01 to 7-03-03, etc. See the pattern?

If the day of the last reply is the 30th it changes the month of the starting thread to June. For example, last reply on 10-30-01 changes the starting date to 6-10-03.

I'm confused, are you? :)

I have the date problem also. my says 1938????? Does anyone know how to fix this?

I found it :) Mine is because I originally had UBB. I found the fix in the old version of this program. It is at

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...=&pagenumber=2

Look for the post by Prince with a fix for the dates.

Thankss,

When I tried it I got a 404 page. I made the file as directed and put it in the admin file.

http://www.mydomain.com/admin/fixubbdate.php I do get the page that says if you backed up proceed. When I click that link I get the 404 and the address I get sent too is http://www.powerwashnetwork.com/admi...tion=doconvert

Any ideas ?

Well that last address is wrong. This site may be blocking out certain words. But I think you get the point.

I just installed this hack. Works great except for this problem.

Anybody know how to how to fix this?

Yeah, i'm having this behavior. Or it's supposed to work like this?

Some of my users are complaining about yellow text on a white background. This seems to only happen to a few users. It might be limited to their Email client, but, I'm not sure.

I can see the HTML messages just fine using Outlook. But, some of the users using Eudora for instance have seen this problem.

Anyone else experience this?

since I have upgraded to vb 2.2.5 , it takes forever two send out emails, I only have 200 members at the moment and on 2.2.4. I could send to all at the same time, not I have to send to 25 at a time, I have also experienced the yellow text problem as well

Can someone post a sample screen shot or a text of what users actually receive in their email ?

Also, I have 10,000+ members, would my server handle this generation and mass mailing?

works and its great, is there anyway I can change the colours of the HTML mailing?

Took me a while to find it (then realised it was right under my nose :cheeky: )

Look for:

In commbull.php and you can changes the colors there ;)

Thanks for this hack, seems to be working well on 2.2.5. :)

Thanks NTLDR for the help, about to fix it now.

Is there a way to put a plain text message at the top of the page in case they are in HTML and they can't read the message?

This is what I would like to put, but I don't know how to make it appear in text and not HTML format :

Thanks

Josh

Working on 2.2.6. Thanks! :)

The quickest way to do that Josh, would be to put <!-- just after the <html> paste in your text you want to appear and put --> after it, before the <head>

Would be easy enough to edit commbull.php to make that permenant.

put it in the first $header =
between the <html> and <head> and it should appear everytime you generate the community bulletin.

Thank You, I will try it out this week.

Josh

I'm guessing this error is to do with this hack... I've installed lots of hacks to date, anyone able to help me with this?

Thanks in advance! :)

*Bump*

FANTASTIC HACK!!!....

Thanks

This is a great hack and should hopefully prove invaluable.

One minor problem during my testing:-

If a thread is moved to another forum and a redirect left behind in the original forum, it is showing up in the bulletin twice. If no redirect is left, the moved thread only shows up once.
