Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Commbull (Community Bulletin) 5.1b

Community Bulletin:

This mod grabs all the latest information in your forum (posts, threads, events, birthdays, etc) and puts them into a newsletter to be sent to all your members that subscribe.

This mod has been around a long time and gone through many versions. It has been a paid version for a number of years with great success, but it's time to pass on the reigns.

[edit Feb 03, 2011]
Attempted fix for sending to users that are part of multiple user groups

[installation]
- upload some files
- upload the product.xml
- make 1 mod to the usercp options template
- FULL DETAILS in the README.txt

[note] many people ask why all the images, etc don't show up in the HTML version of what is in your forum. This is because most mail clients strip out the CSS and vbulletin is 99% CSS. I have created an HTML version that is nice and clean, but is forum independent. If you know what you are doing, you can edit this HTML file and build your own newsletter.

that is correct. i will eventually get to it, but it released it to the community because I knew I would not have time to keep it going and have it available for 4.x when everyone else needs it. As we have been dealing with the hack that affected thousands of forums using vbseo (including 2 of ours), our time has been focused on that.

Hi,

Even though that option is selected it does not work, it still sends in plain text.

I uninstalled this, tried to reinstall and get database error messages

Database error in vBulletin 3.8.3:

I don't think it uninstalled correctly, as it has gone from the plugin & Products list but its still on the ADMINCP column on the left

Please someone?

I have an interesting issue, I edited the templates to change color backgrounds ad a image to my log and changed a single image to this aka thread_h_bg.gif

Now in Outlook 2007 I cannot see this image or the thread_title_bg.gif

I can however see it in Preview unde admincp as well as in Horde or Squirral mail :erm: a littl confused, because I can format any letter with html as this and I can read in it outllook just fine


Worked before the edit

[djbaxter]

In Admin CP | Settings | Style & Language Settings, do you have Store CSS Stylesheets as Files? set to "Yes"?

If so, that's probably the problem. Set that option to "No" and see if it works.

Negative, even ran all update counters and such afterwards

must be the way the image is linked. Certain programs block CSS and images differently.

I have been going through Outllook 2007's configs, nothign I can find. I think it is related to that not sure, so far all the images appear correctly in as stated, Squirrel, Horde and Cube

It has to be 2007, I just tested under my charter account and everything is perfect...

If anyone else having issues with this under Outlook 2007?
