Uninstalled after waiting for a Patch for 3.6.x since Month.

I'm waiting for 3.6.4 version

How do I access the MASS PM panel or anything to send them? Help :D

Lol NVM found it, <--- stupid FF didnt update. Thanks to the modder :D

Great

Hi,
are there news about vb 3.6.4

Have anyone a working HAck?

If you read back a few pages, people will state them

shazz means NO

It works fine for me. :)

Hi,
i Read the post, but one say´s it works fine, and another say,s it doesn´t work.
PN´s are Send, but no one become a pn.

Just installed this mod on a vB3.6.4 site and tried it out (I set 'Number Of Users To PM At A Time' to 25 in case it is a PHP memory issue) and I'm happy to say that all my members have received the PM that I sent.

Just use the "Read PMs" Hack - you will see that no User has the PM. Only the Admins.

I have used this hack and all of the 'registered users' have received the PM. I also have a few dummy 'registered user' accounts - they all received the PM.

Ok - sounds nice. So someone wants to release this Hack new for 3.6 with optimized Defaultconfiguration?

i installed it on 3.6.4 and it sends PM to all groups.

You are our Hero. :rolleyes: Read the last postings.

Seems to does not mean it does.

why every one is insisting that it works???

it does NOT.....

I installed this and tried it on vb 3.6.4 using the altered admin_pmall.php, sent a PM to 3 users groups (total of 1300 members) and it ~appeared~ to work. However many people (including myself) did not get the PM.

So I altered the code to write out the list of names who it was PMing and also the state of the PM error variable, then ran it again. It would appear that three of the batchs were never sent out because of errors. The errors returned for me were;

PM error: The following users were not found:

1. Soonto&quot
2. HAS&quot
3. soop

This users name is actually 'Soonto"HAS"soop'.

PM error: The following users were not found:

1. SC &amp
2. RX

This users name is 'SC & RX'

PM error: The following users were not found:

1. Matt &quot
2. Aero top&quot

This user being 'Matt "Aero top"'

So it would appear usernames containing " or & can stop an entire batch of PMs being sent, the bigger the batch the more users who don't receive the PM.

Does anyone know a solution to this as (for me at least) if I can fix this I should be able to mass PM everyone successfully.

The only Solution for this is to send only 20 PMs at one Time. Set it down from 100 at MassPM at AdminCP.

I think that they are not sending to multiple usergroups, but I agree it does not work.

Well I just hacked the code further so that it sends each PM individually and in one loop, whilst echoing to the screen the usernames as it goes and any error messages. I was a bit worried it might make take too long and the server wouldn't cope but it just sent 1500 PMs in a couple of seconds. :)

if you have corrected it.......why dont you share it with us.....??

It may work on my system, but as I'm not a PHP coder I have my doubts as to whether it can be classed as 'correct' or not.

However, I will upload it tonight if you want but I don't want any flaming if it doesn't work as I'm not sure you are all having the same problem as I did.

By the sounds of things your modified version makes it a little easier to spot where the problems are being caused - in your case it was a few dodgy usernames that vB didn't like.

Attached is the hacked version that works on my 3.6.4 site. It will send each PM one at a time and will print out the names of the users it is sending a PM to, plus any error message returned if the PM fails. I hope this proves useful to others.

I'm interested to know if my hacked version worked for anyone else?

Release it as a 3.6.x Hack. I dont like to spam this Thread here any more.

I've just tried it on my 3.6.4 board and it seems to have worked sending to two different groups, one with over 4000 members in it and the other with over 6000 members in it.

The usernames that caused problems were listed as:


Thanks!

Just to add still got the problem that it doesn't show up as a new PM in the welcome box.

sorry does not work for me.........got internal server error

I installed it and sent some PMs. It told me they were sent succesfully but nothing was sent to anyone. Does this hack work in 3.6.4?

If you look back 1-2 pages and review it yourself you can have a feel for it

Username need to be html_entity_decode and overridequota option need to be enable when sending PMs

I guess it wouldnt hurt when I release a good version for vb 3.6

Have fun.

(ZT, I sent you an PM, but didnt get your respond, so I go ahead and release the new version, for members. Hope you dont mind, otherwise, let me know :) )
---------------------------------------


Never mind on the above release, I release a new one here:
Yet Another Private Message System 1.0.1

I think he is not interesting in this. I have send him PMs for Months now. :)

So anybody - go ahead and Update : Admin Mass Private Message System for vB 3.6

Where did the link go?

i think ZT asked to be removed

@ZT...would you please either update your hack or let others do it...they asked you nicely.....and gave you credit when you even did not answer them..i dont get it.........do you want to punish everyone who used your hack??

@mtha...you are a real gentelman...thank you

No he didn't
He hasen't even been online
Calm Down.

The person that released it had no permission

Hi Shazz,

Honestly though, we're allowed to discuss the changes and explain how to do them, but not allowed to post them? That's not a very logical or practical approach. It's like ridiculous government red tape everywhere, it just hampers everyone.

Everyone comes here for support, and there is red tape everywhere and obviously no support on some threads. I have seen this situation on numerous threads in here over the last few weeks.

VB.org needs to bring in a policy, where if hack authors disappear for a prolonged period, then in the interests of VBulletin hacks and the support level on this great website, other coders should be allowed to offer support and update those hacks, period.

That is a totally workable and acceptable solution in my opinion. And solutions, not rules, are what we need.

What hack author would not want members here to get support from other great coders if they can't be here? If they did have a problem, they could always mention it in the top of the hack thread "no other coders to touch my work", etc. I doubt people would be voting for their hacks though if they did do this.

My submission to VB.org is to update your policy guidelines so that this great site can function in the flawless way it was designed (to give great hacks and great support for those hacks).

Regards

Reggie

lol...i am calm shaz....see......:D

i was just making a point......correct me if i am wrong


if some one makes a chat system for ex. or an arcade system.....and he uses vbulletin members info jut to integrate his chat or arcade system......this person is entitled to say dont use my code


but when you use mebers info (built in vbulletin) to connect to PM system (again built in vbulletin) just to be send in groups....i dont think personally that you can say dont use my code........because the original code is already there

otherwise lets say there are 3 or 4 hacks for 2 Navbar system...3 or 4 paypal donate systems...these all should fight for that connection system too...but they dont...because those (same as this hack) are just modification for the original hack.....

this hack is a modification for the already built in feature in vbulletin........so why do we argue about it...

saying this i am still grateful for ZT for enjoying his hack for so long.....but also to mtha for updating it

i am still calm...:) see
