NOTE:
This hack is not related to, nor using Zero Tolerance's "Admin Mass PM Members" hack.
Although this is a new hack, I still would say thanks to insanctus, Oblivion Knight and Zero Tolerance for their idea and hacks on sending mass PM from admincp. I also want to thank the members who need this hack badly, and support it.

DESCRIPTION:

This system allows admins to send mass private message to members from AdminCP
Some options:
- Detail user search condition, so you can send PM to diffent usergroups, that satisfy different condition
- Send "Test" Private Message,
- Allow/disable smilies
- Override "Receive Private Messages = NO" option?
- set number of PMs to send at once
- Use different user as Sender (by userid)

Works now with my site. Installed.

Works well but I have one "complaint" that others may disagree with.

I assumed that the Primary Usergroup selection and Addtional Usergroup selection would work with an OR logic. Here's an example of what I'm talking about:

1. I chose to send a Mass PM to all Admins. Some admins have it set as the Primary Usergroup, others have it as an Additional Usergroup.
2. I selected Administrator under Primary Usergroup and Administrator under Additional Usergroup.

Result, no users matched my criteria.

Thus, the only way to send to all Admins was to send out two PM's (one to just the Primary Usergroup and the other to the Additional Usergroup).

In other words, the system is using an AND logic rule to see if the Primary and Additional usergroup criteria both match instead of one or the other.

If that's the way it is then that's the way it is but I thought I'd point it out.

Thanks again, great Mod.

[RedefiningFate]

I'm getting the following error when I send a mass PM in my heading:

Warning: array_search() [function.array-search]: Wrong datatype for second argument in /private.php(1727) : eval()'d code on line 13

Warning: implode() [function.implode]: Bad arguments. in /private.php(1727) : eval()'d code on line 15

Any idea what might be going on. I am going to reinstall this hack and try it again...

I just installed this, but it is not showing up in the Users menu

I followed the directions exactly.... Uploaded the files in the upload dir then ACP >> Plugins & Products >> Manage Products >> add/import product.
It shows up on the manage products page fine and I can edit it, check version, etc etc...

It is not showing up in the users menu like it should. At first I thought this might be an issue with my browsers cache, but I tried a different computer that I have never visited my forum on and it still does not show up.

I'm running vB 3.6.8 with no other mods installed

I'm stumped. Can someone help me out? This is a mod that I have been wanting since I installed vB last year (I think it should be included with every install)

edit: I just noticed that this put a limit of 0kb on all users attatchments (including mine the head mod/admin) As soon as I uninstalled this mod, the attatchments went back to normal

[Big_Ern]

Anyone have any ideas what might be my problem?

Thanks
