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)
CHANGES/MODIFICATION:
- Query: 0
- Files to add: 2
- Product to import: 1
INSTALL:
1. Upload all files in UPLOAD folder to your server
2. Import XML product (product-hn_masspm.xml) using vBulletin product import tool.
ACP -> Plugin System -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product
3. Refresh menu panel to display "Send PM to Users" link in "Users" section.

v. 1.0.0 (3.10.2007) Initial release
v. 1.0.1 (3.10.2007) Fix some bugs, add more options when sending PMs
you don't import anything at this point... on your FTP server you should have your forums folder... inside that should be both includes and whatever you called admincp
the file hn_masspm.php goes into your admincp directory so /forums/admincp/ basically
The file cpnav_hn_masspm.xml goes in yoru xml folder inside your includes folder inside of forums, so: /forums/includes/xml
Only after those two files are uploaded to the proper places do you import the product xmll file: product-hn_masspm.xml
hmm...wish it just said that, I see the "includes "folder...so which files go in there and do I import the others through my admincp?? cuz i didnt see a folder with that name thanks,Chuck
When you see an "upload" folder, that just means that contents outside that folder are not meant for uploading. The contents of the folder should have had the same folder structure as your vBulletin directory (with the exception that you've renamed your admincp folder to something else, which not everyone does). You should be able to move everything in that folder in one swoop. You should be overwriting folders with the same name. So you just grab the two folders inside UPLOAD and drop them into your main forum directory.
when I send out pm's to all my members I get this, why does this happen
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 41 bytes) in /home/exercise/public_html/forum/includes/functions.php on line 4010

You would need to show the error to your host and ask them if you can get your limit increased. Or send out smaller groups of messages at a time.
This was working great until 4.1.2 . I love this mod.
Its still working via PM but the email notification is showing raw html now. Does anyone have this problem or know of a fix for me?
