Super Private Message
-------------------------------------
Hack Version: 1.0.4
vB-version: 3.5.x
Developer: msgotit
Install-difficulty: Easy

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.

what the heck, i put it on, only took a few seconds

Anyway to allow us to deselect individual users without having to move usergroups for the people who don't want the pms?

Does the last attachment in this thread, fix the multiple pm's problem?

I sent out a mass pm earlier for the first time in a while and it sent it out three times
Sent out another one as an apology, that went out twice, hehe

Hmm, well it's still doing it for me
I've reinstalled it via the product manager, re uploaded the new superpm.php file, sent it out to 21 people (admins, lead mods, global mods, mods etc)

Everyone got the PM twice.

Got a request for a tweak to this mod. I would like to PM everyone who has 'receive email from admin' switched off. This is about 35,000 people on our board.
Could this option be added to Super PM, please?

[Axor]

email on pm doesn't work with 3.6.2

anyone the same problem?
