Hack Version: 1.0.4
vB-version: 3.5.x
Developer: msgotit

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.

I've installed this, and it's working perfectly (other than the issue with users with & in their names). It's saved me a lot of time and hassle, so thanks a lot to msgotit, your hard work is much appreciated.

Will this work for boards with +50000 members? (trying to mass pm most of them).

[dutchbb]

I tried sending a pm and i get "invalid recipient username blablabla" ?

Can this be updated for 3.7 please?

It works fine for 3.7 if you use Stoebi's updated superpm.php file. The only problem is the UCP navigation on the left side is messed up for me. Anyone know how to fix that?

EDIT:

I fixed the UCP navigation issue.

In superpm.php find:

PHP Code:

$phrasegroups = array('posting', 'postbit', 'pm'); 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

$phrasegroups = array('posting', 'postbit', 'pm', 'user');

hi all ,
i just installed it on 3.7 and it works fine.

just one question ; i set the Email notification on , but that mail is plain text only.
i searched for some HTML notification plugin .. but the problem is that the Pm is written with BBCODE.

so is there something that allow me to have HTML notification of this SuperPM ?

thanks all.

I cant seem to locate the PM option on the admincp sidebar.I guess I have to enable it on the vb options? Or is admincp send PM a plugin which is not in the default 3.6.8 installation.
Cheers

Same here. I don't see any options for it.

Located the options by typing in the url. I ran it once and got an invalid username error. Then I updated the superpm.php from an earlier post, ran it again and got a blank page.
