Social Group Email

Updated vb4 version now available: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=237914

This modification will allow social group owners and administrators to send an email to all members of a social group. Each usergroup can be configured to specifically allow or disallow sending to groups they created, if you would like to limit this ability to specific trusted user groups. By default, admins will also be able to send emails to members of any group, regardless of whether they created the group or not.

Note: If a social group member has elected not to receive emails from other members or is invited to a group and has not accepted yet, they will not receive emails sent using this modification.

Installation

1. Upload bitfield_socialgroupemail.xml to your forum/includes/xml directory before you install the product.
2. Use the Product Manager to import the product file product-rah_socialgroup_email_1_0_0.xml.
3. Use the Style Manager to find and edit your socialgroups_group template:

Near the bottom, find:

HTML Code:

   <if condition="$groupoptions['managemembers']">

    <li class="smallfont">

     <a href="group.php?$session[sessionurl]do=managemembers&amp;groupid=$group[groupid]">$vbphrase[manage_members]</a>

    </li>

   </if>

Below that ADD:

HTML Code:

   <if condition="$groupoptions['email_group']">

    <li class="smallfont">

     <a href="sendmessage.php?$session[sessionurl]do=groupemail&amp;groupid=$group[groupid]">$vbphrase[email_members]</a>

    </li>

   </if>

Configuration:
By default, regular members, moderators, super moderators and administrators are configured to be able to send emails to their own social groups. Additionally, administrators are configured to be able to send email to any group. To change these permissions for these or any other groups:

1. In the AdminCP, goto Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager.
2. Edit the user group.
3. Find the section "Social Groups Permissions," and set the permissions for emailing as desired.

Uninstallation (IMPORTANT)
To properly uninstall this product, follow these instructions exactly:

1. Delete the file bitfield_socialgroupemail.xml from your forum/includes/xml directory.
2. Uninstall the product.

Hi, I don't see how users can spam through this option:

1. Only the owner of a group or admins can mail the members
2. If I am member of a group I want to be in and want to have new message

People can leave the group if they think that they get spam or they can turn to an admin that the owner gets changed or informed.

I think this feature is very very useful. thanks

Yes, an option to send email or PM would be great.
Anyway, great mod idea ;) thanks for sharing it!

I second the motion for the PM option. Would this be possible Farcaster?

Yeah. It would be. Sending a PM is not much different than sending an email. Perhaps in the next revision, I will add a PM option as well.

Awesome! Then I can't wait to get my hands on the next release of this hack. :D

Farcaster, thanks for agreeing to the suggestion. I'm sure this would be greatly appreciated by all who use the MOD.

I didn't cache the template because it seems unlikely that it would be viewed frequently enough to warrant caching (and thus taking up additional memory). I'd rather exchange the miniscule additional query when the form is loaded than keep this form in memory all the time.

So, don't worry about that message. All it means is that when this form is pulled up, it executes a single query to pull the template up.

OK.

<i>By default, regular members, moderators, super moderators and administrators are configured to be able to send emails to their own social groups.</i>

This doesn't seem to be the case. It appears that only the creator can send emails?

Anyone dealt with this?

Farcaster

Check your permissions on the Administrator group. Admins should be able to send emails to any group. If you want other groups, such as the moderators, to be able to send emails to other groups, then you will have to change their permissions.

I know that admins can send email. the product states that group members can email all other group members. it even lists it as an option for registered users. problem is that it doesn't seem to work and Social groups do not show up in user manager itself.

That is not a feature. I reread the intro, and I don't see where it says that either. But to be clear, it currently does not support group members sending emails to the group. Either members can send emails to ANY group, or they can be set to send emails to their own group. Or, none at all.. That's it at present.

There was 3 images in the zip file. What were we supposed to do with them? :confused:

Thanks for this mod. :D

Nothing. The images are just the screenshots examples you see here on this thread.

it just sends the email to me.... why ?!!!

tazzarkin

06-26-2008 05:23 PM

it doesn't seem to install for me. i've copied the file, imported the product, and edited the template. however, i don't get the "Email Members" in the Social Group section. I'm using the admininistrators id and all permissions are set to yes.

Any idea why this won't work for me?

tazzarkin

06-26-2008 06:10 PM

Figured it out. Another mod was preventing the user group permissions from being saved. Once I re-installed that other mod, the "Email Members" showed up.

Now I got to figure out how to un-install the other mod, but that's a question for another thread.

By the way, Great Mod!!
