Admin Mass PM Members

A port from https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=70223.

Though this release is quiet different, as it's been completely re-written for performance and uses the data-manager, and includes a well requested feature from the last version of compatability with secondary usergroups.

Description:

Allows admins to send a pm to all members within x primary usergroups AND/OR x secondary usergroups. See preview for more information really, it speaks for itself.

Simple installation, phrased, nothing else needed right?

Oh, and just incase you decide to ask, "But didn't beebi already port this mod?", the answer is yes, however without my permission.

So uhm, enjoy

Just installed this mod on a vB3.6.4 site and tried it out (I set 'Number Of Users To PM At A Time' to 25 in case it is a PHP memory issue) and I'm happy to say that all my members have received the PM that I sent.

Just use the "Read PMs" Hack - you will see that no User has the PM. Only the Admins.

I have used this hack and all of the 'registered users' have received the PM. I also have a few dummy 'registered user' accounts - they all received the PM.

Ok - sounds nice. So someone wants to release this Hack new for 3.6 with optimized Defaultconfiguration?

it does NOT.....

I installed this and tried it on vb 3.6.4 using the altered admin_pmall.php, sent a PM to 3 users groups (total of 1300 members) and it ~appeared~ to work. However many people (including myself) did not get the PM.

So I altered the code to write out the list of names who it was PMing and also the state of the PM error variable, then ran it again. It would appear that three of the batchs were never sent out because of errors. The errors returned for me were;

PM error: The following users were not found:

1. Soonto&quot
2. HAS&quot
3. soop

This users name is actually 'Soonto"HAS"soop'.

PM error: The following users were not found:

1. SC &amp
2. RX

This users name is 'SC & RX'

PM error: The following users were not found:

1. Matt &quot
2. Aero top&quot

This user being 'Matt "Aero top"'

So it would appear usernames containing " or & can stop an entire batch of PMs being sent, the bigger the batch the more users who don't receive the PM.

Does anyone know a solution to this as (for me at least) if I can fix this I should be able to mass PM everyone successfully.

The only Solution for this is to send only 20 PMs at one Time. Set it down from 100 at MassPM at AdminCP.

I think that they are not sending to multiple usergroups, but I agree it does not work.
