Community Bulletin Email Generator + HTML

First off this is Kier's hack and it's a great one. There are other contributors like tubedog.

Update 16-Nov-2001:
Include News Article(s) in bulletin
Optional - Add "Receive Community Email Bulliten" option to the admin CP. When editing a user you can turn on and off the bulletin.
Fixed lasteventdate bug

These changes are based on version 0.98
Changes/Additions
Preview includes html tags
Email is sent in an HTML format
Post to thread is HTML
Updated install to include changes for vBulletin v2.2
Private Forums marked No by default (if accessmask is ON)
Password removed - Link to Forgot your password added

Installation is still the same. If you already have commbull.php installed you can just copy this file to the same location.

(I'm not trying to take any credit for this hack. Just share the modifications that I made.)
Always backup and test.

I'll install it when I get home tonight. I have to change the HTML color variables first.

Nope, no changes to the file at all. I re-downloaded it again, but still no luck.

Same here. I got the new one with news article. It has this extra { and it gives an SQL error if you enter more than one thread id in the news field. With one thread if it works, and I can just delete the }

Did you have the previous version installed? What type of browser are you using?

Where was the extra { located? You have to seperate the threadid's with a comma. Like this: 36, 122, 450
Can you post the SQL error message?

Just above user info:

{
USER INFO:
These are your current user details

And oops, I used a space as separator, not a comma. With a comma, it worked fine!

Great hack!

[christec]

The "extra" { and the closing } does this;

If you opted to post a copy to your board, put brackets around any parts that should not be included. For example, username and password. (Note: by default, user information has these brackets to exclude it. If you wish to change that (not recommended), remove them in the preview box below.)
Sample:
{Your username is: "$username"}

It removes text that should not be included into the bulletin post.
