Send PMs (automatically)

[cashpath]

Yeah I didn't want to run another query it's a relatively small table.. but I just wasn't thinking and storing the username also is the smart move... thanks for waking me up

How do I send a PM to a user A (normal) and the same PM to user B (with BCC)? user B shall receive the same PM from A but user A should'nt know that user B got the PM too.

untested but should work: set_recipients($recipientlist, $botpermissions, $type = 'bcc')

Thank you for your useful and explicite answer .

I made a modul in wich a member can add a text.
I want this member to receive a pm in case I erase his text.
I have accomplished a modul but I want to know if the code is correct .

//The link is : script.php?do=delete&p=$row['text_id']

if(isset($_GET['p']) AND is_numeric($_GET['p']))
{
	$me = $db->query_read("SELECT text_title,text_uid,text_user FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "table WHERE text_id='{$_GET['p']}'");
	$me_s = $db->fetch_array($me);
	$txtuid 	= $me_s['text_uid'];
	$username 	= $me_s['text_user'];
	$title 		= $me_s['text_title'];
		
	$pmdm =& datamanager_init('PM', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY); 
	$pmdm->set('fromuserid', $txtuid); 
	$pmdm->set('fromusername', $username); 
	$pmdm->set('title', 'Information'); 
	$pmdm->set('message', "I delete your text : $title ......."); 
	$pmdm->set_recipients($username, $botpermissions); 
	$pmdm->set('dateline', TIMENOW);
	$pmdm->errors;
	$pmdm->save(); 
	
	$db->query_write("DELETE FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "table WHERE text_id='{$_GET['p']}'");
	define('CP_REDIRECT', "script.php?do=show");
	print_stop_message('text_deleted');
	exit;
}

Thank you .

	exit;
}

Thank you .

This looks like a horrible idea, as anyone could just enumerate through the textid's and delete them all.

This isn't the entire code , I wrote just the part that I was more intrested in .
I am interested in the idea not in the code itself .

Thanks .

I am using this snippet on a non-VB page. Beforehand I am including the global.html and so on - as described in various "login from non-vb page" threads/hacks.

$pmdm =& datamanager_init('PM', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY);
$pmdm->set('fromuserid', 5);
$pmdm->set('fromusername', 'Foo');
$pmdm->set('title', sprintf('Einladung %s', $name));
$pmdm->set('message', $message);
$pmdm->set_recipients($to, $botpermissions);
$pmdm->set('dateline', TIMENOW);
//var_dump($pmdm->errors);

$to is set to a valid username, however i get the following error right with the "set_recipients" part.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: query_first_slave() in /user/public_html/community/includes/functions.html on line 1154

Anyone have an idea? I did a var_dump(get_class_methods($vbulletin->db)); right beforeit uses the query_first_slave and it shows the query_first_slave method. My PHP is 4.4.x - so do I need to update my vb? We are still on 3.6.4 (only on the development server).

Is there a way I can use this to automatically PM someone when they get an infraction?

That's already an option in the infraction system.

Is there a way I can call this from a link or button? Some hook I could use?
