Output Generated Mailing List to File

[aciurczak]

I'd like the "Generate Mailing List" function within the admin panel to output its results to a file, as well (or instead of) posting the results onscreen only. I've tried to use the suggestions from:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...t=mailing+list

and

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...t=mailing+list

But I'm still having no luck. Does anyone have a minute or two to see how email.php would be changed to include this functionality? (The errors I'm getting now relate to fopen not being able to open a stream correctly, even though perms appear fine)

I'm using vbulletin 3.0.9. Thanks for any help or suggestions folks can provide!

EDIT:
Strange. I got it to work, but the fopen command seems to only work if the file exists there already. If the file doesn't exist, I get a "fopen failed" error message, saying permissions failure. But if the output file exists, it works just fine. Here's the code I added within the email.php file.

$fp = fopen('FULL PATH TO OUTPUT FILE','w+');
while ($user = $DB_site->fetch_array($users))
{
	$buf = "&" . $user[email] . "\n"; 
	fputs ($fp, $buf); 
	flush(); 
}
fclose($fp);
