[RELEASE: Mass Email to users awaiting activation code]

This provides an option to email all users who are in the Awaiting Email Confirmation usergroup again with their activation code. I used this on my forums as some people either accidently deleted the email or the mail servers were down.

Open /admin/index.php and after

PHP Code:

<a href="user.php?s=<?php echo$session[sessionhash]; ?>&action=referrers"> Referrals </a><br>

around line 246
and add

PHP Code:

<a href="user.php?s=<?php echo$session[sessionhash]; ?>&action=emailactive"> Mass Email Activation Code </a><br>

save index.php and open /admin/user.php

look for

PHP Code:

if (isset($action)==0) {
  $action="modify";
} 


around line 44-46
and add

PHP Code:

// ###################### Mass Email Activation Code #######################
if ($action=="emailactive") {
  $query=$DB_site->query("SELECT userid,username,email,password,joindate FROM user WHERE usergroupid='3'");
  while ($user=$DB_site->fetch_array($query)) {
    $userid=$user[userid];
    $username=$user[username];
    $password=$user[password];
    $activateid=$user[joindate];
    eval("\$message = \"".gettemplate("email_activateaccount",1,0)."\";");
    eval("\$subject = \"".gettemplate("emailsubject_activateaccount",1,0)."\";");
    echo "Email sent to:<br>";
    if(mail ($user[email],$subject,$message,"From: \"$bbtitle Mailer\" <$webmasteremail>")) {
          echo "$user[email] <br>";
    }
  }
} 


re-upload /admin/index.php and /admin/user.php to your site.

The options will now be present within the control panel.

You realize this is already in the stock code, right?
yoursite.com/admin/email.php?action=start

Also, please enter your license information in your profile. See the link in my sig for more info. Thanks!

and I believe that the following line is wrong:
$activateid=$user[joindate];

a bunch of users could not be activated. Reason: they were getting the joindate for activation id.

Kevin,
PPN couldn't have posted in this forum if his license information wasn't entered in his profile.

Tubbdog, when I go to that link...I don't see the spot for the mass email for inactivated users. Only for COPPA. Am I looking at the wrong place? I went to the address you posted.

I also tried searching for the first line and it couldn't be found in admin/index.php

Help?? I have a lot of inactivated users. For some reason the board keeps inactivating active users so I want to be able to get this hack....

@ Tubedogg, i believe PPN is a licenced Member...his hacks are one of the greatest here on VB.org!!
And i think if he is not licensed he doesn?t release a hack here....

I think you need to look at the dates on the post as well as the fact he is a moderator now..
