It can't be ported, it would have to be a total rewrite. If you wish to hire someone, post a request in the Requests for Paid Services forum.

CommBull has had a long run but it is no longer supported and more bugs seem to be appearing even with vB 4.x versions. I think we will probably switch to the version in the link I provided here.

Disclaimer: I am not the developer and have no connection with him. Also, I have not yet tried the paid add-on but it looks like it will do the job and the coder is supporting the addon.

Thanks DJ.

Commbull used to deliver html email to my mailbox just fine. Then I moved my site to another hosting company and now all I see is the source code. Does anyone have any idea what happened that would cause this?

Thanks,

Make sure your new host has either Zend or Ioncube installed and then upload the appropriate set of Zend or Ioncube files (fropm the /upload-Zend/ or /upload-IonCube/ folders in the installation package).

If not, you are going to need your host to recompile Apache/PHP with one of those modules included.

Apparently both are installed on the server. But I may have other issues with getting help:(

I have been one of the lucky ones who have never had to update their CommBull from the original "Commercial Version" and while still running it on two sites, I no longer have the originally purchased files. Although I may be able to pick them off the server. One of the reasons I kept the original was, it worked, and when I looked at the free update (when it seemed to be required for VB4 was the old version had the menu addition in the left column.

Things may have made another step backwards. The first test on the server sent out the email, but did not present it as html as mentioned. I eliminated the "Extra Material" just in case, and now while it is sending the emails, they don't seem to be going anywhere...

I downloaded install package from here to have a look at it, but I am not seeing any Zend or Ioncube files in the upload files.

Thank you for your patience and your help!

when i update php from php ea-php56 to php 7 , i run Commbull to send Community Bulletin i get the following errors

I am not a coder!, but I just had a look at commbull.php, and the lines stop well short of 382. I have modified the commbull.php in mine to change the presentation, and suspect you have too. Have a look at it (mine stops at 277).

I saw someone on another site suggested replacing eregi_replace with preg_replace.

I to get some errors and have solved some, but would love to see an update:( It seems hosts prefer to see our sites using commercial email services for newsletters. This may be alright for large enough sites, but I keep my newsletter to about 600, and that makes it tough to justify even $10.00 per month for the service.

many thanks , it work when i replacing eregi_replace with preg_replace
but i get some error as you said like

Sorry, but this stopped working for me several versions of vBulletin 4 ago and I've not been able to fix it or upgrade it to a working version. The original coder has left the building.

The only free version of a newsletter which sort of works is [DBTech] DragonByte Newsletter v1 (vB4) but it is quirky. There is a Pro version of that add-on but it is also quirky.

You might also look at ModernvB Community Newsletter, another Pro add-on.

Many thanks

There once was a coder named Paul who had nothing to code at all.
He once worked for VB but no longer you see.
So why don't you give him a "call."

:)

I don't think Paul is lacking for things to do.

Plus this add-on was originally coded for vBulletin 3.x and lord knows what version of PHP. It was great while it lasted but as I upgraded other things eventually it simply stopped working on two separate forums, and I wasn't able to revive it. It would need a complete recode at this point, in my opinion.
