Excellent, that worked!

Only minor issue left is no entry in the Admin CP for sending the newsletter. A search of phrases for commbull shows:

receive_email_from_commbull Standard Phrase Receive Community Bulletin Newsletters
type_email_from_commbull Standard Phrase HTML if checked. Plain Text if unchecked.

ok, found that problem too. re-upload the product-commbull.xml. It should re-upload the phrases. If it doesn't, you may have to manually add it to:
"Control Panel Home Pages" (cphome)
var: commbull
phrase: Send Community Bulletin

grandeur_69,

Thanks a million - that worked perfectly!

Regards,
Jim

This was very easy to install and is working great on my test run!

I do have a question though, is there anyway to add a header or logo to this? If there were a way to add my sites header then it would make it look more professional. I am satisfied either way and appreciate all of your hard work with this

grandeur_69 · #47 10-09-2006, 07:15 PM

you can add HTML (that would link to your logo) to the HTML version on the preview page or add it to the personlization section on the 1st page.

I also have this problem running vb3.5.3

Ah ok! I got the graphic in there! Thanks

Please do not post problems with the commercial version in here. They will not be answered. Use: http://www.octanedev.com/support/

I gave this a shot after basically giving up on Combull a while back. I reinstalled it but the same thing happens. I have 8,000 members, but after about 243 it just stops. Nothing more happens. Any clues as to what can cause this?

I wish someone would write a real mailer for vBulletin - it would be worth so much more than $10 for us.

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