Commbull (Community Bulletin) 5.1b · **Released**: 12-16-2009

Community Bulletin:

This mod grabs all the latest information in your forum (posts, threads, events, birthdays, etc) and puts them into a newsletter to be sent to all your members that subscribe.

This mod has been around a long time and gone through many versions. It has been a paid version for a number of years with great success, but it's time to pass on the reigns.

[edit Feb 03, 2011]
Attempted fix for sending to users that are part of multiple user groups

[installation]
- upload some files
- upload the product.xml
- make 1 mod to the usercp options template
- FULL DETAILS in the README.txt

[note] many people ask why all the images, etc don't show up in the HTML version of what is in your forum. This is because most mail clients strip out the CSS and vbulletin is 99% CSS. I have created an HTML version that is nice and clean, but is forum independent. If you know what you are doing, you can edit this HTML file and build your own newsletter.

Bumping my question.

sry, must have missed your question. yes, there is an option but not in the ACP ... i've never tried to put a setting in there. The option is only in the front under the UCP.

PS. hopefully next week, my team and I will start working on the vb4 version. We will try to add the cron feature back in, but no guarantees as many users still have problems with server load and we haven't been able to find a reasonable solution.

I've been sending the newsletter for several weeks but yesterday I tried to send it again and nothing happened. It seems to work, It says that the emails are sent, but there's nothing in the email inbox.

I've tried reinstalling Commbull and several other tests. I've also tested email function in my Vbulleting and it's working ok ( I do receive other notifications by email and also can send emails by Control Pannel)...

Is there any way to test where the problem is?

Thanks

check your junk mail. if you have database access and you are using vbulletin's mailqueue, then you can watch the mailqueue table for added emails

DEGE · #**108** 03-03-2010, 08:32 PM

I did check my spam, junk email folder. Also I'd try with several kind of emails (hotmail, gmail, yahoo). I do not have the queue enabled... Should I?

I have to tell you the same.
My older version which worked without a problem before always showed me, that the mail would be sent.
After many months of vb updates and other new addons a user asked why there was no commbull for such a long time.
After testing upgrading, downgrading and upgrading again, some user received mails some not.
And after testing of the versions i've got "mail delivery failure" email sent from a commbull sent 5 days ago.

I thougt an addon is causing the problem but you can never know...

Just wanted to mention that.

Normal forum emails are sent as ususal (subscriptions, activation mails and so on...)
I'm still checking!

grandeur_69 · #**110** 03-04-2010, 01:36 PM

interesting. We have commbull running on 8 of our forums and on another 13 with a client and all the forums have different add-ons and we have not experienced any of these problems. We do have all our forums with vb mailqueue on, so maybe that'll be something we have to look into a bit further when we do the upgrade to vb4.

Audax666 · #**111** 03-04-2010, 03:27 PM

You know we also have the old commbull running on about 30 forums without a problem. I took the whole installation package from there but it didn't work on the one I'm talking about.

The only addon of which I know was installed last was the mighty google translation addon (VB enterprise translator) from NLP-er.
That's what I can say, but I didn't had the time to inspect every little corner of my board. So at this time I think it's my own fault.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
