NOTE:
This hack is not related to, nor using Zero Tolerance's "Admin Mass PM Members" hack.
Although this is a new hack, I still would say thanks to insanctus, Oblivion Knight and Zero Tolerance for their idea and hacks on sending mass PM from admincp. I also want to thank the members who need this hack badly, and support it.

DESCRIPTION:

This system allows admins to send mass private message to members from AdminCP
Some options:
- Detail user search condition, so you can send PM to diffent usergroups, that satisfy different condition
- Send "Test" Private Message,
- Allow/disable smilies
- Override "Receive Private Messages = NO" option?
- set number of PMs to send at once
- Use different user as Sender (by userid)

No you cant. I've thought about it, but this system is sending mass (say 500) PMs at once (going into one PM), I would rather not sending it individually. (creating about 10000 different PMs in database is a huge waste of database and system resources)

And does it hide all the recipients in the from field?

Yes. it does

Yes it is different. it's up to you, it wont be conflict, but I rather use just one system.

Thanks

nearly identical to the one I wrote for a client ... great job

you should add print_cp_redirect()

[dknelson]

I removed the other one and installed this one. Great job.

There is one small thing that I don't care for. If I go to the usergroup to send a Mass PM....all the usergroups are selected by default. I have a LOT of usergroups because I am using this to send PMs to members in certain states/provinces. So...I have to de-select 60 or so groups and then select only the one or two that I want.

I wish that they were either not selected by default or a button to de-select all.

Otherwise...thank you VERY much.

[pollon]

it's better than the other one. thanks
