NOTE:
This hack is not related to, nor using Zero Tolerance's "Admin Mass PM Members" hack.
Although this is a new hack, I still would say thanks to insanctus, Oblivion Knight and Zero Tolerance for their idea and hacks on sending mass PM from admincp. I also want to thank the members who need this hack badly, and support it.

DESCRIPTION:

This system allows admins to send mass private message to members from AdminCP
Some options:
- Detail user search condition, so you can send PM to diffent usergroups, that satisfy different condition
- Send "Test" Private Message,
- Allow/disable smilies
- Override "Receive Private Messages = NO" option?
- set number of PMs to send at once
- Use different user as Sender (by userid)

Where is the File ?

good question =\

Hi Mtha,

I haven't installed this yet, but thanks for releasing it. :up:

Can we use $username in the messaging system so that people's names appear in the message?

And does it hide all the recipients in the from field?

Thanks

Reggie

I've installed this for now too. Looking forward to trying it out. ;)

Thank you very very good.

waiting for file....thx

mtha - is this any different than the one you released earlier in the week? if we have that one installed I guess would should remove it and installed this one?

OOOOOOOOOK WHEREEEEEEEEE'S the file is like offering someone to eat but don't hand them the plate:eek:

Blink blink blink :|

The file is there...

It was late night lastnight, after a coming back from a party :p ... little tired to forget things. Sorry guys
the file is up now

No you cant. I've thought about it, but this system is sending mass (say 500) PMs at once (going into one PM), I would rather not sending it individually. (creating about 10000 different PMs in database is a huge waste of database and system resources)

Yes. it does
[/quote]


Yes it is different. it's up to you, it wont be conflict, but I rather use just one system.

Thanks

nearly identical to the one I wrote for a client ... great job

you should add print_cp_redirect()

I removed the other one and installed this one. Great job.

There is one small thing that I don't care for. If I go to the usergroup to send a Mass PM....all the usergroups are selected by default. I have a LOT of usergroups because I am using this to send PMs to members in certain states/provinces. So...I have to de-select 60 or so groups and then select only the one or two that I want.

I wish that they were either not selected by default or a button to de-select all.

Otherwise...thank you VERY much.

it's better than the other one. thanks:D

Awesome. Thanks for the release. :)

Great one ! :)

Sweet! I uninstalled the previous one I am using... and installed this instead!

Messages were not sent and it didn't allow me to go past the 500 original. Any ideas? The TEST worked and had the NEXT button, but not when it was actually sent.

When I use BBCode, the URLs are mssed up.
I get URLs like http://\"http//piforums.info/showthread.php?t=3593\%22 for example...

edit:
Well, you need to make sure not to use any " for the URLs or it will show up like I stated above.

I figured this out.... I can send to 395 members and the NEXT button will be there. If I send to 396+, then the NEXT button will NOT be there.

The only other issue is that the message isn't actually sent even though it says it is. I logged in as some users that supposedly were sent a PM and they did not receive anything.

Thank you 0........

thank you so much for this, I been waiting for this hack for a long time. Must INSTALL

:) thanks, I didnt know that you wrote one before. you wouldnt mind when I release it, do you?

How can I pass the "_POST" value for "message" into print_cp_redirect()? in my "donext" function, it is a form with informations to send.


click on All Usergroups once to select ALL groups, and click again to de-select them

this is fixed in version 1.0.1


are you sure you install THIS hack, not the old one that I released yesterday, based on ZT's hack? This one is DIFFERENT, and the link is in Users section in your admincp, with the name "Send PM to Users"
In this one, there is ALWAYS a "Next page" button underneath the userlist, until when you finish sending PMs
I tried with 20000 members, 500 or 1000 members each page, and it works fine (with the "TEST" mode. the actual SEND supposed to do the same. I did not test sending to my 20000 members, but I dont believe there's any problem there. It works fine with my test board (with few registered accounts)

Installed :)

reserved.

Thanks for the 1.0.1 update, mtha! ;)

wow this is really realeased??

this is the most waiting hack until now, none this hack for 3.6.x until now

i will try this

Yes, this is definitely your hack installed. The old one was uninstalled. Not sure why this happened. I see that everyone is mentioning that they will try it....just haven't heard if it's actually working for them. I'd love to hear from everyone on whether they have any problems or not.

did you remove the file /include/xml/cpnav_masspm.xml and admincp/admin_pmall.php

did you try the version 1.0.1?

mtha, you are my very best:D


many thx:up:

*klick install & motm*

Actually, I did, but I'm going to start over again and I'll keep you updated. THanks alot for all your work on this and your support. :)


Update: I completely unistalled, and replaced the two files....still does not provide NEXT after the 500 emails. Oh well, if I'm the only one with this problem, then don't worry about it. What gets me is that nobody has said that it works yet....just alot of thank yous. Can anyone verify that it's working for them?

I'm on 3.6.5 and it's wonderfully working. :)

PS: I have completely unistalled the previous version and then installed the updated one

I'm getting the error below and it wont send the PM.

ERROR!
The following errors occurred when the system tried to send PM to the above users. No PM sent.:

Array
(
[0] => The following users were not found:
1. oprah&#39
2. s minge
)

if you want, provide me link to your website, and an admin account, I can take a look for you



Please check and see if that user name is oprah's minge, and what's your website/language encoding?

I deleted that user and it works now. I guess that account was causing other issues as well.

Thanks.
