Any new/novel solutions to the problem of PMs not updating in their count #? I dont want to do the digitalcrowd method of manually incrementing the # in teh database because it seems to sometimes update correctly and not other times.

Is there a way to tell vb to reasses the PM count using a built in function?

Yes, I'd like to know this as well. Doesn't vb have a built in function to do this? I'm very hesitant of making a database call to vb's database if I don't have to.

In private.php:

Code:

// ###################### Start pm update counters #######################

// update the pm counters for $vbulletin->userinfo

function build_pm_counters()

{

        global $vbulletin;



        $pmcount = $vbulletin->db->query_first("

                SELECT

                        COUNT(pmid) AS pmtotal,

                        SUM(IF(messageread = 0 AND folderid >= 0, 1, 0)) AS pmunread

                FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "pm AS pm

                WHERE pm.userid = " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . "

        ");



        $pmcount['pmtotal'] = intval($pmcount['pmtotal']);

        $pmcount['pmunread'] = intval($pmcount['pmunread']);



        if ($vbulletin->userinfo['pmtotal'] != $pmcount['pmtotal'] OR $vbulletin->userinfo['pmunread'] != $pmcount['pmunread'])

        {

                // init user data manager

                $userdata =& datamanager_init('User', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_STANDARD);

                $userdata->set_existing($vbulletin->userinfo);

                $userdata->set('pmtotal', $pmcount['pmtotal']);

                $userdata->set('pmunread', $pmcount['pmunread']);

                $userdata->save();

        }

}

Give that a whirl.

How Can I Send A Private Message To Users As Soon As They Make Their 10th Post?

I'd like to know how to do this as well.

Anyone got any help on this?

FYI, there seems to be a new function within the PM datamanager in version 3.7.0, which is needed for sending automatic PMs (such as in the welcome pm)

$pmdm->set_info('is_automated', true);

I am receiving an error that the user has PMs disabled, when the user doesn't. Any ideas? I'm attempting to send a PM to the main administrator account.

Code:

$pmdm =& datamanager_init('PM', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY); 

$pmdm->set_info('savecopy', 1); 

$pmdm->set('fromuserid', $userid); 

$pmdm->set('fromusername', $username); 

$pmdm->set('title', 'this is a title'); 

$pmdm->set('message', 'this is a message'); 

$pmdm->set_recipients('xxclixxx', $permissions); 

$pmdm->set('dateline', TIMENOW); 



$pmdm->pre_save(); 



// process errors if there are any 

$errors = $pmdm->errors;

($userid and $username are properly filled during the test. It works if I send to the test account, but not to the admin account.)

I found mferguson's modification fixed the problem I was having:

PHP Code:


		
			
$pmdm->set_info('receipt', false);

$pmdm->set_info('savecopy', false);

$pmdm->overridequota = true;

I think it was the overridequota that did it.

Hi Andreas,

The following bit:

PHP Code:


		
			
$pmdm->set('message', "Hello\nI am a Bot and would like to give you a warm welcome :)");

How would I go about changing this to a phrase, so that users can have the message however they like. Is it possible?

Thanks.

Thats actually pretty easy Jason. You need to set 2 things.

First you need this BEFORE the message is called to be sent:

$message = $vbphrase[your_phrase];

Then change the line you have posted above to read:

$pmdm->set('message', $message);

Since my code deals with PM's I need to exclude myself from receiving a PM as I am the one making the new comment.

PHP Code:


		
			
            $useri = $db->query_read("
                SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "threadcomment
                WHERE threadid = $threadinfo[threadid]
            ");

Now what I am trying to do is this (I know this won't work but an example of what I need:

PHP Code:


		
			
            $useri = $db->query_read("
                SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "threadcomment
                WHERE threadid = $threadinfo[threadid]
                IGNORE userid = $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']
            ");

I couldn't find anything to exclude my id, does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks

You should be able to exclude yourself using the following query given that userid is a column in the threadcomment table.

PHP Code:


		
			
$useri = $db->query_read("

       SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "threadcomment

                WHERE threadid = $threadinfo[threadid]

                AND userid != $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']

");

Thank you very much, thats what I needed.

Had to change it:

PHP Code:


		
			
$useri = $db->query_read("
       SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "threadcomment
                WHERE threadid = $threadinfo[threadid]
                AND userid != " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . "
");

Works like a charm.

Is it possible to transfer it for the vb 4.0. x ?

I am sending to a lot of recipients at once. Its in a loop sending to 20 recipients at a time (user1;user2;etc)

Occasionally Ill get the following error when checking $pmdm->errors:

Quote:

XXXX has chosen not to receive private messages or may not be allowed to receive private messages. Therefore you may not send your message to him/her.

If you are trying to send this message to multiple recipients, remove XXXX from the recipient list and send the message again.

How does one check to see if someone is allowed to receive a PM before its sent so I can exclude them from the recipients?

I am using $botpermissions['adminpermissions'] = 2; to override if their mailbox is full, but don't want to send a PM to people who aren't allowed by way of permissions to receive them.

Can this be checked in the query I am using to select names from the user table? Or is there code that can be used to check to see if the user is able to receive PM's?

I appreciate any insight.
Thanks,
Steve
