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.

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

- Allow/disable smilies
- Override "Receive Private Messages = NO" option?
- set number of PMs to send at once
- Use different user as Sender (by userid)

I followed the directions exactly.... Uploaded the files in the upload dir then ACP >> Plugins & Products >> Manage Products >> add/import product.
It shows up on the manage products page fine and I can edit it, check version, etc etc...

I got the same problem. Tried everything. Anyone got any suggestions on what to look for to solve this?

Exactly where on the server should the files have been uploaded to?

I'm kinda glad I'm not the only one who ran into this problem... Hopefully someone knows an answer. This would be a great mod

No problems on 3.6.8 pl2

Just import the product. Refresh your page. Then go to Users: See Send PM to Users(this is the mass pm) <-- works perfekt!! I just installed it, and sended a pm out to 390 ppl at once. You wont find this option in the vbulletin options tab.

As those who have this problem, have said (several times, if you read the thread), this has been done and it still does not work and is not under User's. Do you have any suggestion to troubleshoot this problem?

[weedheaven]

you uploaded the cpnav_hn_masspm.xml ?

[birdie]

yes

[weedheaven]

Thats weird , i aint the smartest one with vbulletin tough. I just followed the instal instructions

Upload files, import product. Refreshed admincp a moment, went to the "users" and in that list Send PM to Users

And that should work directly. i didnt had to do anything for it to apear, only the 2 steps

IM getting this error when i click on send pm after setting up my message and choosing who i want it to send to

PHP Code:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 48 bytes) in /home/merlin/public_html/forums/includes/class_dm_pm.php on line 460 


Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I downloaded the file class_dm_pm.php off my server to see line 460 for myself. If it makes any difference for you all, the line is this:

PHP Code:

$this->info['recipients']["$user[userid]"] = $user; 


Once again, thanks in advance.

Good job!

I found the older "Mass PM" add-on more awkward to use and, more importantly, I couldn't get it to work with version 3.6.8.

This one works perfectly and as advertised. Thanks!
