I have a bad-email-address usergroup of registered members whose boxes are either bad, or prone to being full or offline.

Maybe you could tweak the commbull to mail from a NOREPLY@YOURDOMAIN.COM and include a real address in the message body.

Regards,

Matt

What for? This hack is useful to most, including me. I just do without the events, that's all. I understand they are important to you, but they are not to all.

cmiller1014 03-30-2005 04:48 AM
It's just important to me that a modification work the way it says it will work. This site is a mess because of hacks like this one where people post a million times asking for help and the original poster never responds.

This mod works exactly as described. It was written for 3.0.1, as it states. 3.0.1 had an entirely different way of storing dates and events.

I hacked it up again for 3.0.3 to fix the events, but I have no idea my modifications work for 3.0.6-7-9 but I documented and offered it to people.

I really hope people won't be cursing my name if it doesn't work in some future version of vB that no-one could have forseen! I would not be surprised if that is why people are less inclined to support hacks.

Regards,

Matt

Would it be possible just to post the v3.0.1 -> v3.0.3 instructions here so everyone can have them?

RichieBoy67 04-01-2005 02:37 AM
Great!!! I love this hack...... Thanks for doing it...

johnbruce71 04-04-2005 09:57 PM
Cheers fella, Works a treat :)

Hey guys,

I've installed everything as per the instructions, and it works great. I have one small problem though, for some reason the Control Panel isn't fully displaying the link for Community Bulletin, i have attached an image to show you what i mean.. Under the "Access Masks" you can see the next half box is highlighted, this is the Commbull link and it works if i click the top edget of the box.. as other users will be sending out bulletins i want to try fix it up.. any ideas whats wrong?

Lionel 04-13-2005 02:40 AM
go to your phrases, select any one and click "Update"

Trent 04-13-2005 02:49 AM
I must be looking at the wrong thing, there is no option to "update" where i am looking.. under phrase manager?

Lionel 04-13-2005 03:02 AM
select any phrase and save it (without doing anything to that phrase). That will update all of them, and you'll be able to see the combull link

Trent 04-13-2005 03:26 AM
Ah.. Done! Thanks champ!

GetGamer.com 04-13-2005 03:02 PM
I didn't even realize there was a problem until one of our members emailed me to say that they unchecked the Community Bulletin box in their user options, but when they go back to check the settings, it's still checked!

I tested it and found the same problem. Any idea why unsubscribing might not be working?

The name of the parameter could be wrong. If the name is not correct it is not passed correctly to the next site to save the values.

In addition you could have a name conflict with another settings. You should check your source code of the parameters.

Does the unchecking of the HTML option works?

Cheers,

Cheers,
The source code for the options reveals the following:
PHP Code:
<tr>
  <td><label for="commbull"><input type="checkbox" name="commbull" value="1" id="commbull" checked="checked" />Receive Community Bulletin Updates</label></td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td><br />Format of the Newsletters<br /><label for="commbull"><input type="checkbox" name="commbull_type" value="1" id="commbull_type" checked="checked" />HTML if checked. Plain Text if unchecked.</label></td>
</tr> 
And no, unchecking the HTML option also doesn't work.

welo 04-13-2005 04:36 PM
Am having exactly the opposite issue. Nothing is checked and if you check and save the options, they don't take.

I don't have the commbull phrase in my phrases at all. Is there any way you can add that manually?

cmiller1014 04-14-2005 03:13 PM
I RECCOMEND NOONE INSTALLS THIS!

It completely broke our system, you can no longer mass prune members, and a number of other problems. The modifications it makes to the user table screw everything up.

Plus there is obviously no support for it anymore. Just not worth the effort.

rjordan 04-14-2005 04:16 PM
Interesting. After installing this, I had no problems.

cmiller1014 04-14-2005 04:21 PM
Yea well you havent tested every feature in your control panel then.

Interesting. You should not blame any hack if it is your own fault. A lot of people used this hack for over 6 months in BETA and now again for quite a long time without any changes to the code. I doubt that this hack caused your problem.

In addition I checked the install file and 2 changes are made to the user table. It adds a column receivebulletin and a column receivebulletin_type. This doesn't sound soooooo dangerous.

You should check if you are up to date on 3.0.7 and if not upgrade your system.

Every 2 weeks for 1.500 users and another domain every week for 7.000 users.

Lionel 04-14-2005 05:11 PM
This hack also works very well for me from the very first time I installed on 3.07

Can you elaborate on what "a number of other problems" means? You mention that you cannot mass prune members. What else did you find was broken? There are a lot of people using this mod and I'm sure we'd like to hear what problems you've run across before we're faced with any nasty surprises.

I am still having a problem with the user options not working. The checkboxes are there, but the user's settings are not saved.

vB Version: 3.0.0
Well if you have kept your info up2date, this hack was never written for the version you are using.

And you should really consider upgrading.

Pseudomizer 04-14-2005 09:24 PM
I think this guy just wants attention. *he he* I never heard of any problem like this with this specific hack and in addition I helped Grandeur releasing this hack. I know the source code very well.

If this guy really uses 3.0.0 and his database has been corrupted then I would suggest a clean install of 3.0.7.

Cheers,

GetGamer.com 04-16-2005 05:01 PM
I'm still having trouble with the User Options not working. Neither setting for either checkbox is saved. Any ideas?

Hi GetGamer,

check if your register_globals = off in your php.ini and this is causing this problem and in addition then check if the receiving php file has not the option

PHP Code:
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1); 
That's all I can suggest.

Cheers,

Yes, in my php.ini register_globals = off. What do you mean by checking "the receiving php file"? Are you referring to profile.php (which the user options form posts to)? If so, it does indeed have a line that reads
PHP Code:
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1); 
Anyone have any other suggestions?

Hi,

What's the manual query to see who is subscribed.

I am using 3.0.7 and am going through hell to get support from vbulletin because I have this hack installed. What a mess

lol ... it can be an experience with ANY hack installed if you have a hack installed where they may be looking for a problem!

memobug 04-18-2005 02:58 AM
You would get the same response from Vbulletin if you admitted to having any hack installed.

Regards,

Matt

Thank you!
But is there a way I make the default is by text mail If they like html mail They can chnage it to HTML mail.

RichieBoy67 04-22-2005 09:27 PM
I am having a similial problem. I cannot send out html. It was working fine and now it just sends text... I tried the above and a few other things but nothing worked...

How can I bypass and just make it send out html???

Thanks

I have had absolutely no problems with this program and use it on all my forums. It is a great tool as far as I am concerned.

RichieBoy67 04-23-2005 12:03 AM
I love the program too..... It was working perfectly up until recently...

I'm still struggling with this problem. Has anyone else had this problem, where members' changes to their bulletin preferences aren't actually saved?

greenhybrid 04-23-2005 06:20 PM
Works great. Thanks. Now, are these automatically sent evey week, now? It wasn't clear when I sent the first newsletter.

greenhybrid 04-23-2005 06:42 PM
The thread is posting as a guest even though my username number: 1 is set for "If yes, which username should be the poster?"
