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)
CHANGES/MODIFICATION:
- Query: 0

HISTORY:
v. 1.0.0 (3.10.2007) Initial release
v. 1.0.1 (3.10.2007) Fix some bugs, add more options when sending PMs
Very usefull mod, only one problem: it doesn't send the notification email. And before anyone asks: yes the 'receive administrator emails' option is set to yes. How can I make it send the notification email even to the users who have selected not to receive them?
Works well but I have one "complaint" that others may disagree with.
I assumed that the Primary Usergroup selection and Addtional Usergroup selection would work with an OR logic. Here's an example of what I'm talking about:
1. I chose to send a Mass PM to all Admins. Some admins have it set as the Primary Usergroup, others have it as an Additional Usergroup.
2. I selected Administrator under Primary Usergroup and Administrator under Additional Usergroup.
Result, no users matched my criteria.
Thus, the only way to send to all Admins was to send out two PM's (one to just the Primary Usergroup and the other to the Additional Usergroup).
In other words, the system is using an AND logic rule to see if the Primary and Additional usergroup criteria both match instead of one or the other.
If that's the way it is then that's the way it is but I thought I'd point it out.
Thanks again, great Mod.
This is working as it should on my testing forum running 3.6.8 PL2 but with the annoyance as stated above by SemperFideles. This MOD is a great idea once the bugs are worked out.
Just installed but could not see under user any option of Send PM to users, I imported and uploaded the file (product-hn_masspm.xml) and also hn_masspm to admincp on the server but after refreshing admin panel may times I don't see the option to send PMs.
Can some one help what could be a reason I could not see in ACP. I am using 3.6.8 Patch Level 2
I've actually had some problems on 3.7 Beta 4. It doesn't send to all members and sends to some members multiple times. Anybody else having problems like I am? I will try to reinstall if not.
