Mass Admin PM v1.5

This is a minor upgrade from the first version, 1 main new feature, and a little code revision.

Features:
Number of PM's to send at a time

It's a server intensive process and you don't want to ultimatly send to everyone at once on your forum unless you have like 50 member's.

New Usergroup Selecting

Your now able to select all, 1 or certain usergroup's to which the PM is sent to, so if you wish to send to staff, Ie, Admins, SMods + Mods, you would simply check all those, making it much easier and saving time.

Very simple install, take you 3 seconds, im not joking, yet very useful, a preview is below for those desiring to see what it look's like first.


Enjoy,

Is it full 3.0.7 compatible?

[Zero Tolerance]

I have no reason to believe it wouldn't work with 3.0.7, but if you get any problems feel free to let me know.

Ok I'll try in a test environment. I have two large boards running and I don't want them anything to happen .

Nice hack

Zero from your experience do you know why when using your hack a white screen appears and only admins get the PM's?

Well, the only explanation to that i can think of is a bad upload, the script is working fine for me on 3.0.7

Also, this doesn't support Secondary Usergroups.

I'm the 100th install :-) Very useful little hack, thanks.

[flee2]

in a 18.000 user database, i put 300 send pm times, and after tried 50, and get stuck... only the blue screen of cp, and nothing more.. only appears at top, PM Users [Created By Zero Tolerance].

[flee2]

Zero. I will not question your way to make hacks, but checking a few posts back, i see that the users with a lot of records in USER table in database, get stuck when trying to send this. You replied that's is a UPLOAD problem.. or any other problem like this.

I will explain this for you.. checking your hack, it's really good constructed, but you miss a little detail. when you LIMIT the send of PM's, you must LIMIT the QUERY to DB too.

I looked that the query is static in all "retries" to send PM's:

PHP Code:

$Query_Build = "select * from ".TABLE_PREFIX."user where usergroupid IN({$set_in}) order by userid" 


this will return a query result with ALL your members in the usergroup / user table.. if you have 25.000 members in the group "Registered", the query result will have 25.000 records, and before you get the reply from DB, you mysql will go down.

The way to solve this, is LIMIT the query to database, in the one by one step to sending pm's. (LIKE the vB do while sending mass emails)

Example:

Sending to 150 users in usergroup 6, send amount by step is set in 50.

- START SCRIPT
- CHECK THE AMOUNT OF PM'S SENT BY STEP (50)
- QUERY DATABASE TO USERGROUP 6, LIMIT RECORDS FROM 0 TO 50
- SEND PM'S 0 TO 50
- SHOW OK RESULTS AND CONTINUE TO NEXT STEP (SEND THE "STARTAT")
- QUERY DATABASE TO USERGROUP 6, LIMIT RECORDS 51 TO 100 (START - START + AMOUNT)
- SEND PM'S 51 TO 100
AND CONTINUE... TO END

-------------------------

your actual script works like this:

Sending to 150 users in usergroup 6, send amount by step is set in 50.

- START SCRIPT
- CHECK THE AMOUNT OF PM'S SENT BY STEP (50)
- QUERY DATABASE TO USERGROUP 6, NO LIMIT RECORDS (ALL RESULTS)
*** IF THE USERS ARE A LOT, YOU GET A HANGED DB IN A SUPER BIG QUERY **

-----------------

It will be much better if you correct this issue...

One more thing: I would like to NOT include the sending Admin's signature-line (or at least have it as a yes/no checkbox). How can that be done please?

Thanks!

I find this hack.. VERY useful. I installed it today.

However I have a question. When i sent an PM to all my members using this mod, no one got a automated email in their inbox telling them that they have recieved a new PM (!?)

any suggestion what could be wrong. they all get notified otherwise.
