Admin Override

[midnightz]

Hello,

I'm sure there is ahack here, that will make the get mailings by admin option either have no choice to say no or maybe move that option completely. There was a hack like this for IK Board, so there must be a override one for VB

Cheers,

You mean this option:

Allow Bulletin Board Administrators and Moderators To Send You Email Notices?

in your options of your usercp ?

that's not to hard to change.
just edit your templates

In the registercoppa and registeradult templates, find this:

<tr>
	<td bgcolor="#1C5780"><normalfont><b>Allow Bulletin Board Administrators and Moderators To Send You Email Notices?</b></normalfont></td>
	<td bgcolor="#1C5780"><normalfont>
		<input type="radio" name="allowmail" value="yes" checked> yes
		<input type="radio" name="allowmail" value="no"> no
	</normalfont></td>
</tr>

and replace it with this:

<input type="hidden" name="allowmail" value="yes">

Then, in modifyoptions template, find this:

<tr>
	<td bgcolor="#1C5780"><normalfont><b>Allow Bulletin Board Administrators and Moderators To Send You Email Notices?</b></normalfont></td>
	<td bgcolor="#1C5780"><normalfont>
		<input type="radio" name="allowmail" value="yes" $allowmailchecked> yes
		<input type="radio" name="allowmail" value="no" $allowmailnotchecked> no
	</normalfont></td>
</tr>

and replace it with this:

<input type="hidden" name="allowmail" value="yes">

Beware that your users won't exactly appreciate it if you start sending them what will technically be unsolicited e-mails.

You would be better in creating a new table and option for "Allow Administrators to send you the Newsletter?" or something

So on the signup agreement put a part that mentions the e-mailings and say that it is a condition of membership. I've seen this for sites before.

Yep, Thats what I'm doing -

[eytan]

is there anyway to run an SQL query to change the options all the users who selected this option as "no" when it was available, to "yes" now?

thanks

[eytan]

can anyone help with this?
