Fixed a typo and Birthday Date Bug
---------------------------------------------

Here's a new version of the Community Bulletin + HTML
With the changes and the inclusion of the news section I have
titled it News and Email Community Bulletin Generator.

Here's a list of the changes/modifications that were made

Include News Articles (Threads) in bulletin.
Remove vbCode from news articles before sending email.
User email options include HTML or Text.
Forums are sorted by displayorder.
Category forums do not contain yes/no option.
Private forums marked as no by default.
Fix lasteventdate bug.
Modify admin/index.php installation instructions for version 2.2.x and version 2.0.x.
Include Admin CP edit user option to include Receive Community Email Bulletin and Type (HTML or TEXT).
Remove user password, send link instead.
Preview of HTML and TEXT email.
Post to Forum can be HTML or TEXT
Modified a few mysql SELECT * queries to include only necessary fields.
Cosmetic changes
......

To install
Copy the commbull.php file to the admin/ directory.
WIth a web browser access the commbull.php file.

Example: http: //yoursite.com/forums/admin/commbull.php

Follow the additional installation instructions.

This hack is based on Community Bulletin Generator by Kier
and additional Community Bulletin Generator functions by Kevin

Additional: This hack has only been tested on my machines. I don't have the ability to send emails
to a lot of users so this has not been tested either.

Remember: BACKUP and TEST.

Well that last address is wrong. This site may be blocking out certain words. But I think you get the point.

Yeah, i'm having this behavior. Or it's supposed to work like this?

Some of my users are complaining about yellow text on a white background. This seems to only happen to a few users. It might be limited to their Email client, but, I'm not sure.

I can see the HTML messages just fine using Outlook. But, some of the users using Eudora for instance have seen this problem.

Anyone else experience this?

hypedave · #**106** 05-14-2002, 06:41 PM

since I have upgraded to vb 2.2.5 , it takes forever two send out emails, I only have 200 members at the moment and on 2.2.4. I could send to all at the same time, not I have to send to 25 at a time, I have also experienced the yellow text problem as well

Can someone post a sample screen shot or a text of what users actually receive in their email ?

Also, I have 10,000+ members, would my server handle this generation and mass mailing?

zeedy2k · #**108** 05-19-2002, 01:44 PM

works and its great, is there anyway I can change the colours of the HTML mailing?

Took me a while to find it (then realised it was right under my nose :cheeky: )

Look for:

PHP Code:


			
// HTML Color Variables

In commbull.php and you can changes the colors there

Thanks for this hack, seems to be working well on 2.2.5.

Thanks NTLDR for the help, about to fix it now.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
