Private Messages Enhancements - Mass PM Usergroups (NOT via admincp)

This is a custom mod I created for the member: XSV_4ce and was given permission to release it here.

This mod basically allows specific usergroups (not required to be admins) to be given a list of other usergroups they are allowed to mass PM (can also be allowed to PM all usergroups)

A checkbox list of the allowed usergroups will show up above the PM message area (in private.php) for those given permission to use the feature (see screenshots)

Features:

• Setting to allow only certain usergroups to use the mass PM feature
• Setting to allow specific usergroups to mass PM all usergroups (overwrites custom permissions / [Useful for admin/mod usergroups])
• Allows "custom permissions" in which usergroups can only mass PM a specific list of other usergroups

Note: Checking one or more usergroups to mass PM will overwrite the "BCC Recipients" field (should't be a problem, but just letting you know )

Please "Mark as Installed" for support/updates

Nominate for MOTM if you'd like as well

Does not seem to work on my Vers. 4.1.7

Screenshot of settings below. Why does it say no usergroups allowed?

Also, no selection boxes appear when creating new PM

I've reinstalled with overwrite, followed the directions, same result. Not working.

This is for vB Version: 4.2.x atm

Sorry, didn't notice that bit. Any chance of a 4.1.x version?

This thing is amazing for my community since we are a multi gaming community and I needed my Guild Leaders to be able to PM members within their usergroups.

However members are in mutiple usergroups since we have a usergroup for each guild. So I modified this to look for if the member is in a secondary user group instead of their primary.

I hope VBNinja doesn't mind me posting how I did this.

Go to
http://www.yourforumname.com/admincp....php?do=modify

find
Product : Mass PM Usergroups
Then click the edit button where it says:
Process PM private_insertpm_process

Find

$masspm_recipients_q = $vbulletin->db->query_read_slave(
        "SELECT username FROM " .TABLE_PREFIX. "user
        WHERE usergroupid IN (".implode(',', $masspm_recipientugs).")"
    );

And replace with this line

$masspm_recipients_q = $vbulletin->db->query_read_slave(
        "SELECT username FROM " .TABLE_PREFIX. "user
        WHERE membergroupids LIKE '%".implode(',', $masspm_recipientugs)."%'"
    );

Save and your done.

Hope this helps anyone else looking to send mass pm's based on a secondary usergroup. Thanks VBNinja for a great mod!

Give blank page :-s

This breaks if there is a ' in the usergroup name.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 's' (T_STRING) in /includes/class_core.php(4715) : eval()'d code on line 79

You need to be more descriptive so the developer knows what the issue are so he can potentially fix them.
