Ok my first hack (and very simple)

What it does is lets an admin pm everyone. This is very simple at the moment and could be made more complicated like the email one in later versions. It only pm's people who have set pm to on in their profile.

I have attached the file but this is it:

PHP Code:


			
<?

require("./global.php");

    

echo "<html><body>";



echo "<h1>Mass PM</h1><br>";

echo "This will send a pm to every user who has set receive pm on.";

echo "<FORM METHOD=\"post\" ACTION=\"$PHP_SELF\">";

echo "Your user number:<br>";

echo "<INPUT type=\"text\" NAME=\"adminuser\" value=\"$adminuser\" SIZE=5></P>";

echo "PM Title:<br>";

echo "<INPUT type=\"text\" NAME=\"title\"  SIZE=\"40\"></P>";

echo "Message:<br>";

echo "<textarea name=\"message\" rows=\"8\" cols=\"0\"></textarea><br>";

echo "<INPUT type=\"hidden\" NAME=\"action\" value=\"do\">";

echo "<INPUT type=\"submit\" NAME=\"Submit\">";

echo "<P><P><P>";







if ($action=="do") {



echo "<html><body>";

    



    

$forums=$DB_site->query("SELECT userid,username FROM user WHERE receivepm=1 ORDER BY userid");

    

    while ($forum=$DB_site->fetch_array($forums)) {

    



    $sql=$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO privatemessage (privatemessageid, folderid, userid, touserid, fromuserid, title, message, dateline, showsignature, iconid, messageread) VALUES (NULL, '0', '$forum[userid]', '$forum[userid]', '$adminuser', '".addslashes($title)."', '".addslashes($message)."', UNIX_TIMESTAMP(), '1', '1', '0')");

    

echo "pm sent to $forum[userid] <br>";

    

    

        }

  

    echo "</body></html>";

    

    }

?>

this is my first mod so i would like comments on what i am doing wrong!

p.s. do i get an award for the first v2.0 mod?

It would be ever so more resourceful if the hack was to only save the message once into a "systemmessage" table that each user would then receive a message from. You could stick a "lastreadsystemmessagetime" field into the user table to figure out which users have read the message.

Damn smarty-pants!

true and it was something i thought about although slughtly differently. In the end this was a lot quicker and combine with a 30 day expiry date script of pms send by admin (me) which have not been read it will quickly get rid of those ones you don't need there any more.

Also, how under your suggestion would you do it for more than one message? arn't you then going to need more than one column in the user profile field or in the end perhaps an extra table linking user with adminmessage - by the time you have done that you loose most of the gains you started with.

Worked for me... other then the $adminuser. Thanks!

PS. Maybe you could upgrade the style sheet to match the rest of the admin area.

Heck you did the hard part so I thought I could clean the look of the page up for you/me...

Updated code at http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...?threadid=8742

next little thing is to let you select usergroups so that you can say send one to all your moderators.. soon i hope.

I dont think there is one.
As this was released for v2.0

But if there was to be one it would be for v1.1.6 most likely.

you have to create a new file and insert it there, most likely into the adminfolder
