Admin Mass PM Members

A port from https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=70223.

Though this release is quiet different, as it's been completely re-written for performance and uses the data-manager, and includes a well requested feature from the last version of compatability with secondary usergroups.

Description:

Allows admins to send a pm to all members within x primary usergroups AND/OR x secondary usergroups. See preview for more information really, it speaks for itself.

Simple installation, phrased, nothing else needed right?

Oh, and just incase you decide to ask, "But didn't beebi already port this mod?", the answer is yes, however without my permission.

So uhm, enjoy

So do I, but that might not happen for a while. He's still in school, I think.

School? I left school over a year ago

Updated the zip file, if you've installed just re-upload everything within the UPLOAD/ folder, should be fine then. I've added in a bit of code to override the datamanager, instead of using the default set_recipients() function, i've forced the data into the variables, so no matter the permissions the users will recieve the PM, however those with it disabled won't be able to see the private message until they re-enable it.

That's not nice, it should take care of the Users decision IMHO.

Perhaps, but they won't be able to see the PM while they retain the decision to have private messaging turned off, so i doubt it makes much difference.

If they can't see the message til they re-enable it, the message would be better off not being there, right? It could be a few months before they re-enable it. I would think a setting to bypass their setting and send them the pm anyway, or not bypass it and not send it at all. That way you have it covered all the way around.

And sorry about the school remark, I thought you were still in school with your age.

Fair point, but in others prefered the old one where it forced the PM to be sent, so I thought it'd be best to keep it that way.

Oh, and here in england, we finish school when we're 16.

That's on of the reasons why I had to code my own Version for 3.0

Btw:

PHP Code:

$Users = $db->query("select * from " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user where " . get_mass_pm_sql_condition($Prime, $Secon)); 


I'd change that to only userid and username - the 3.0 Version caused serious memory exhausted errors on my server because of this.

But if it is a vital pm that you need the member to get, they would miss it by having pms turned off. An Admin settable option for that would solve it for both cases.

How many years of school do you guys go for over there? We have 13 here. Kindergarten (from which I will be graduating soon) and grades 1-12.
