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.

There is a problem with the phrases in the xml file.

Code:
<phrase name="settings" version="5.0"><![CDATA[Settings]]></phrase>
The phrase above, overwrites the existing VB Phrase for settings. This is not really a huge problem, but if you uninstall Commbull, then it removes this phrase, which makes everything else in VB which uses it look funny, and you have to recreate the phrase.

This phrase should be removed from the Commbull xml file, so that this product neither installs nor removes it.



BTW, this is an awesome product, and I look forward to seeing what you do with it in the future.

You're not supposed to change the actual variable. It should be:

PHP Code:
$config['Misc']['admincpdir'] = 'admincpforum'
In your ./includes/config.php file or if you're editing this within one of the mod files it should be:

PHP Code:
$vbulletin->config['Misc']['admincpdir'] = 'admincpforum'

Edit ./admincp/commbull_template_html.php

Find on line #182
Code:
<td><a href=\"{$vbulletin->options['bburl']}/login.php?do=lostpw&$commbull[referal_tag]\">{\$vbphrase[forgotten_your_password]}?</a></td>
replace with
Code:
<td><a href=\"{\$vbulletin->options['bburl']}/login.php?do=lostpw&\$commbull[referal_tag]\">{\$vbphrase[forgotten_your_password]}?</a></td>

Hey guys,

I downloaded & installed this great mod without a hitch...I configured the html to look exactly as I wanted it to.

When I was ready, I went to the send page and clicked on the 'send' button below...then the mod done its thing and listed all my user (blu blu...user...html ok) and way at the bottom it says 'All Done!.

Problem: None of my users got the email! And there's no way (that I know of) to verify delivery (something like 'sent mail')...can anyone tell me what's going on?

I emailed a newsletter with the default setup to myself and opened it in squirrelmail: there was no content at all.
Sending it to a more advanced email webmail solution did have good results.

I wonder what % of people uses an email solution that is able to open this?

None of my users actually got an email at all. I'm using my host smtp server that lets me send 500 emails an hour...I only have 300 members - i.e. assuming this mod uses the same email details as found in admincp-->settings-->options-->email options...or not?
