Description:
Allows specified users to send a Private Message to certain groups of people.
This is basically the same as the hack created by UAE and in talking with him I have posted this here.
Super Private Message will give you the convenience and ability to provide many different options for sending mass private messages to users by any one you choose to assign this task to based on Conditionals (if):
User's Usergroup is Y.
User's has posts greater than x posts.
User's has posts less than x posts.
User's Join Date is After (yyyy-mm-dd).
User's Join Date is Befor (yyyy-mm-dd).
User's Last Activiy is After (yyyy-mm-dd).
User's Last Activiy is Befor (yyyy-mm-dd).
User's Last Post is After (yyyy-mm-dd).
User's Last Post is Befor (yyyy-mm-dd).
Settings in the Admin CP:
Specify who gets to use the Super Private Message System by Assigning their User Names or User IDs.
Specify the Secondary and Primary usergroup they can send a mass pm to.
Select what usergroup to be visible for selection(s).
Select to have the assignee change his identity when sending.
Control what fields to be visible for each assignee.
List All assignee, delete/edit them.

History:
1.0.1 BETA
Fixed bug in xml
No longer show to whom the message will be sent (if you like that don't upload the superpm.php file. If your copy is working there is really no need to upgrade, there are no major changes yet - hopefully soon there will be!
1.0.2 BETA
Changed wording in Template - Makes more sense
Changed location of SuperPM link in admincp - Contained in the "User" group
Changed insert to fix/help fix the problem with overloading the server
Added option for admin to show to whom message will be sent
1.0.3
Fixed bug causing a php error * Thanks for the report Fofer
Fixed bug saving message to sent items even if you don't send it.
1.0.4
Added Email on pm - WARNING this will most likely not work if sending to over 500 people (probably ok up to 1000) although may be server intensive. Also, to do that you will likely have to change the max number or pms in superpm.php file from 500 to 1000.
Misc. changes as requested.
To upgrade, upload files and import the new product, click on overwrite and you will be set.
-------------------------------------
PLEASE REMEMBER TO BACKUP BEFORE YOU BEGIN!
If you like this hack, please be kind and click "INSTALL" Link.
This has been tested and seems to be working fine. If you find any errors please let me know!
I know that it isn't sending the email, and what not, part of the problem, is that if your board is very big (a lot of users), running this and having all of that happen will be very server intensive, for those that have a lot of users it often would bring their board down, if you don't have that many users, I could probably find an older copy that would do all of that.
Just replying to this, I for one would like to see this as an option at the bottom of Super PM (and yes, I have a small forum, so it wouldn't be a problem.)
A checkbox that offers the option:
-Don't Send Email Notification
-Send Email Notification
(The 2nd option which would be overridden by user's own preferences, if they've chosen to disable email notifications.)
That would make the most sense to me, at least. A Super PM in my case is something I'd want everyone to read quickly, and without an email being sent to them, many users won't discover the PM for a few days.
I am and I haven't had any problems so far, don't really expect any, just like tuanluu said it is a product so... But if anyone has any problems, let me know.
