Awesome. Just awesome. I had problems with it stoppping after about 30 or so e-mails, but I realized I just have to send less at once.

Also hoping a version of this will show up that saves your settings... I'm tired of doing it manually.

I would really love to save settings, is there anyone who was able to get this to save settings? I'd like to keep the same settings each week so I don't have to select it all manually again. :)

mmmmmmmm
I agree with u,
I think there should be some variables that hold:
  • excluded forums
  • excluded user groups

or there reverse, i.e. Include

:)

thanx for this great hack

This hack is the closet thing to what I was looking for to send out HTML Newsletters from my board.

All I really wanted to do to send HTML newsletters from my board was to prepare the newsletter in my html editor, and paste it into the message box to send to users.

Before the commbull hack, I was unable to do this.

For anyone else who might want to use this hack in this way, here is what you can do. Firstly, I do not give my users the option to take either html or text. They all get html.

I generate the mailing with commbull, but I delete the entire message after hitting preview. I then paste my HTML newsletter in the box and hit send.

I've done some tests, and it works fine so far. It even shows up in Yahoo and Hotmail web based email.

I thought at some stage I saw a hack that automatically clicked the "send next batch" button on the email generator - I did a search through this thread and the other 2 bulletin ones but couldnt find it - anyone know ?

memobug 08-20-2003 08:36 AM

So far, so good with my install under vB 2.2.6, following the instructions for 2.2.x

I just wanted to note that the install is not as straightforward as the first post might have you believe. After launching the php, database manipulations are made, and a template and two to three php routines need to be modified in a few places.

Since the 2.2.4 install was not documented, I was very careful about backup and comparing the replaced material and it took me about an hour and a half, including NETLDR's mod for HTML preview and the "optional" hack which makes it possible for the ADMIN to adjust the users' bulletin preferences.

Was it worth it? I need a bit more time to see how much I can customize it, but at the outset, I would say so!

Thanks & regards,

Matt

Hi. I am having a problem with the hack. It is great, except it only sends to 178 people. No matter what I do, it only sends to that many. I even installed the hack below and no dice. Anyone have a suggestion?

It was on the page before. HERE is the link to the hack. I hope it helps.

This hack is pretty good indeed, although the fact it doesn't work flawless (most of the time it won't show the topic's (news) article title, i'll need to manually insert it) i am very happy with it. :)

Just an idea: Wouldn't the news items be alot cooler, if you see the persons avatar on the left of the news topic? This will give more props to the submitter of the news. And i'll bet it will look much nicer.... Just like it does on this homepage:
http://www.vbulletin.org/index.php?s=

Here you can check a sample what i send out to 2000 members each week:

http://www.xs4all.nl/%7Eaaron1/forumimages/weekly.html

Hope you like it...

But i'd love it if this hack will be bugfixed though (see previous post)

Thanks y'all...

Diva 09-21-2003 05:38 PM

Hi. I have found a way to send it through the CPanel so that all the members can get it. The only problem is the last part where user information is. This is what shows when you send it.

Quote:

{USER INFORMATION:
These are your current user details
Your username is: "Guess"
Forgotten your password?
You have "$posts" posts
You registered on "$joindate"
You were last active on the boards at "$lastactivity"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Weekly Crier is a way for members to keep up to date and join in on the fun. Hope to see you on the boards soon!

The No Chick Trix Forum Administrator.}
How can I fix this so that the "{" don't show and the postcount, etc... do?

vb3 b7 ?

can we get it to work there ?

I am pretty sure there is a bug in this hack that prevents you from adding new members!

1) Whenever I try a to manually add a new user with admin cp, I get a MYSQL error that says

"Column count doesn't match value count at row 1"

It dumps the terms, which I compared and they don't add up.

I looked at step 2
PHP Code:

2 of 4
Then Find This
:
    
$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO user (userid,usergroupid,username,password,email,styleid,parentemail,coppauser,homepage,icq,aim,yahoo,signature,adminemail,showemail,invisible,usertitle,customtitle,joindate,cookieuser,daysprune,lastvisit,lastactivity,lastpost,posts,timezoneoffset,emailnotification,receivepm,emailonpm,ipaddress,pmpopup,options,birthday) VALUES (NULL,'$usergroupid','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($ausername))."','".addslashes(md5($apassword))."','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($email))."','$userstyleid','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($parentemail))."','$coppauser','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($homepage))."','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($icq))."','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($aim))."','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($yahoo))."','".addslashes($signature)."','$adminemail','$showemail','$invisible','".addslashes($usertitle)."','$customtitle',$joindate,'$cookieuser','$daysprune',$lastvisit,$lastactivity,$lastpost,'$posts','$timezoneoffset','$emailnotification','$receivepm','$emailonpm','".addslashes($aipaddress)."','$pmpopup','$options','birthday')");

Replace With:
    
$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO user (userid,usergroupid,username,password,email,styleid,parentemail,coppauser,homepage,icq,aim,yahoo,signature,adminemail,receivebulletin,receivebulletin_type,showemail,invisible,usertitle,customtitle,joindate,cookieuser,daysprune,lastvisit,lastactivity,lastpost,posts,timezoneoffset,emailnotification,receivepm,emailonpm,ipaddress,pmpopup,options,birthday) VALUES (NULL,'$usergroupid','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($ausername))."','".addslashes(md5($apassword))."','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($email))."','$userstyleid','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($parentemail))."','$coppauser','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($homepage))."','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($icq))."','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($aim))."','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($yahoo))."','".addslashes($signature)."','$adminemail','$receivebulletin',      (THERE SHOULD BE A '$receivebulletin_type', here!!!!!)                                    '$showemail','$invisible','".addslashes($usertitle)."','$customtitle',$joindate,'$cookieuser','$daysprune',$lastvisit,$lastactivity,$lastpost,'$posts','$timezoneoffset','$emailnotification','$receivepm','$emailonpm','".addslashes($aipaddress)."','$pmpopup','$options','birthday')"); 

And it looks like '$receivebulletin_type', is missing from the REPLACE WITH section. I added it back in and everything seems to be fine.

Could someone verify this, please?

I would appreciate it if you would take another look Gary. I just downloaded the hack again from Post #1 in this thread for comparison with what I installed months ago and that parameter($receivebulletin_type) is definitely missing from the VALUES portion of the replacement string.

Whether you do or don't have it - can you verify that you can add a forum member manually - from admin cp USER->ADD - without getting a PHP error on submit?

Thanks & regards,

Matt

WHHOOOOPSS .. great great HACK .. *installed*

memobug 04-03-2004 06:23 AM

Highlander, would you verify whether YOU can use the Admin panel to manually add a member without having an SQL error?

(Maybe it is just the version of SQL I am running that wants the term count to match the values)

Regards,

Matt

P.S. For some odd reason, I got three copies of the notification email for your post!

Highlander 04-06-2004 03:01 AM

.. threa mails?
i get no errors when i start a bulletin and write a username in the file dof the Comm Generator ..did you mean that?

or where else i can write a username in a field?

Wich version do you have? Maybe PHP Version problem.. i have 4.06 thats very old.. and i have to change very often manually some things.. you see the string and error in his exact place..so you can locate the string who do this error..so you can look for changing it to make it right

greating

Highlander 04-06-2004 03:08 AM

i can add user withozt problems ..

memobug 04-06-2004 05:09 AM

Hi Highlander,

I am not talking about the Community Bulletin Generator, but the standard Admin panel - I mean to add a user to your forum database by going to the admin panel and clicking ADD under Users. Then create a new user and click SAVE.

Regards,

Matt

I have vbulletin Version 2.3.3 and News and Email Community Bulletin Generator version 1.0 by Christec. Is there an additional hack available that will automatically send all the pages of the bulletin, so that I don't have to click the next page button every time? That would make it a lot easier. I've tried increasing the number of emails sent on one page, but if it exceeds 1000 the page freezes and I have to start all over again.

memobug 02-22-2005 02:14 AM

If you are talking about this hack, it has a box that says "Automatically advance to the next page" or something and a place to put in the delay

Regardsm

Matt

globalinsites 02-25-2005 09:53 PM

Yes I am talking about this hack? News and Email Community Bulletin Generator version 1.0 by Christec? But I don't have the "Automatically advance to the next page" box..

Sorry, it was me who was confused. Those options are in the vbulletin 3 version. I don't know about the vbullet 2 version any longer, it has been awhile since I have used it, and I didn't realize I was still subscribed to this thread.

Regards,

Matt

globalinsites 03-05-2005 11:40 PM

So can anyone tell me how I can get it to advance to the next page automatically?

YLP1 04-06-2005 06:42 PM

Hi Everyone... I am fairly new to VB and PHP and I would love to add this to my board....will this work on VB version 3.0.7?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

This is a hack written for vB2. vB2 and vB3 are interenally complete different, so 99.99% of the vB2 hacks will not work on vB3.

Regs 04-06-2005 08:51 PM

YLP1,

There is an updated version for vB3.xx

Sorry I don't have the link for it handy but a search here should produce it.

Cheers,

~Regs.
