EPC vbMailer [LITE] for vBulletin


*** Image removed as it was hotlinking to another site and site does not allow for hotlinking ***

(Not just a hack, just a HUGE expansion in getting your communication professionally delivered effectively and efficiently to your forums members)


Brief Introduction:

What we have here is an expansion of a lot of tools that deal with ?effective? communication with your forums members by and through the vBulletin forums system. As you know there are many modifications on the vBulletin.org website that?ll help you manage all of these means, some are lacking other essential needs or you are simply too tired to figuring out which one doesn?t work with what hack. Overall, we have built EPC vBMailer to be the overall and ONLY solution to your vBulletin e-mailing needs. Because you request it in here, we will build it without any questions!

After endless reading on the forums at vbulletin.org, we have found it to be a wise decision to release a LITE and a FULL version, basically a trial version before you buy? Where the trial will not ever end, it?s just a lighter version to the FULL version which has an extended amount of features in it that handles ALL of your e-mailing needs in one!


Core Feature List:
  • Templates
    • Add templates
    • Edit templates
    • Delete templates
  • Autoresponders
    • Add autoresponders
    • Edit autoresponders
    • Delete autoresponders
  • Compose Email
    • Type an email, or
    • Use a template
    • Schedule when to send
  • Bounce Management
    • Logs into your SMTP info
    • Inactivates bounced emails
    • Deletes bounced emails from server
  • Settings
    • Easily edit vbMailer Settings inside your config file
    • FULL version has it all built into the /admincp/ with more support
Templates Overview
  • Enter a subject, text email and HTML email to easily send them out on-the-fly later
  • Templates, like anything else in vbMailer, support variables
Autoresponder Overview
  • Setup autoresponder sequences to automatically send out emails
  • Very powerful for those of you who want to seamlessly and automatically advertise your forums, or give your users a friendly "nudge" to come back
  • Yep, autoresponders support variables too
Compose Email Overview
  • Choose a previously created template or enter a subject, text and HTML email
  • Choose a time to run the campaign, allowing you to schedule the campaign for whenever you want
(meaning you can setup that advertisement email to run while you are on vacation, phew!)
  • And did I mention, composing an email directly also supports variables
Review Campaigns Overview:
  • Track how each of your campaigns is doing, by looking at how many emails were SENT, FAILED and READ
  • Delete any upcoming campaigns
Bounce Management Overview:
  • No more annoying bounce emails filling your Inbox
  • Every time the cron runs, it automatically sets the email status to inactive on any bounced emails
  • PM sent to user to update his/her e-mail address!
Example of a log when one is bounced:

Quote:
Email sent [sadfjasdfj2234rr32ff@email.com] using [smtp]

#-Bounces---------------------#
Connected to mail.mydomainhere.com
Logged in as username@mydomainhere.com
Fetched message list

Found bounce [sadfjasdfj2234rr32ff@email.com]
sadfjasdfj2234rr32ff@email.com: Email inactivated
sadfjasdfj2234rr32ff@email.com: Bounce email deleted

Connection closed

Done
EPC vbMailer Variables Overview:

Although you can use anything in the 'user' table as a template variable, the most useful are provided in this list:
[userid]
[username]
[email]
[homepage]
[icq]
[aim]
[yahoo]
[msn]
[skype]
[posts]
[ipaddress]
[pmtotal]
[pmunread]
[warnings]

EPC vbMailer Variables Test Email

So basically you would setup and form e-mail going out to all as an example:

Quote:
Dear [username],

Today it has come to our attention your posts total today are [posts] posts on the forums.

Total warnings you have on file are [warnings] warnings!

You have a total of [pmtotal] PM?s inside your inbox on the forums, also do note that you have a total of [pmunread] unread PM?s

Your webpage is located at: [homepage]

On file we have the following Instant Messengers:

ICQ: [icq]
AIM: [aim]
YAHOO: [yahoo]
MSN: [msn]
SKYPE: [skype]

Your User ID, which is a number and can be found to be as follows: [userid]

Your sign-up IP address was: [ipaddress]

Best regards,
EPC vbMailer and Team
EPC vbMailer Outcome E-mail

You can unsubscribe at any time by visiting the forums where this was sent from and requesting not to receive emails from administrators any more.

Conclusion:

You have installed at LEAST 5+ separate hacks to mount up to what we just created but coded you here in the LITE version, do note this, in the FULL version for less than a happy meal you will have even more flexibility. Whether you wanted to run a newsletter, or send out a series of e-mails (autoresponders) or simply schedule the sending times and letting EPC vbMailer will do it for you seamlessly.

In the LITE version, you will need to note, there is a set limit on how many e-mails that can be sent out due to the core of the LITE wasn?t designed to handle UNLIMITED.

Make sure you check it out in the LITE first to see if this is something you would like, with full SUPPORT too you if you clicked install. Bottom line, we are just happy to accommodate anyone and everyone.

How do I get support?

Also comes with a 22 page End-User Documentation, all clean and sectioned out for you in PDF. Make sure you have Adobe READER v6+ not a RIPPER

Support is given to those who click INSTALL...

However if you have questions before installing do let us know, we have tested this on 3.6.8, and if you have a forums that is prior, please let us know if this works and report this here! Others will appreciate it a lot.

All support for the LITE version will be held here only if you click install, and if you purchase the full version all support is handled in the order received by our full-time reps in the CSC, NO support is held here for the FULL version!

So here's the LITE version and it comes with a full set of instructions and if you require any assistance on how to find feeds and what places are best for feeds, do post them in here.

Also if you post anything in here that has NOTHING to do with the hack and support, question related issues, i.e. Starting drama on anything not related to this hack, "it is no good", "I guess this will ruin this", and blah blah, keep your drama out please!

Check your vbMailer settings.
I did have it at 0 when I did the first test. But it shouldn't be a problem since it's only emailing 5 people at most and the sleeper is for 25 emails if I remember correctly.

Good point.

I think blogtorank's going to help you out, sounds like something server-side.

Oh it is server-side, and I have been server-side with this server for over 6+ hours today, finding this as one culprit:

PHP Code:
disable_functions show_sourcesystemshell_execpopenproc_openallow_url_fopen 
Among other culprits as barring to send out via SMTP... Alot of restrictions in place here on this server and for another I have a success here:
PHP Code:
Scheduled Task Manager

Alot have asked via PM and through our CSC of how come this is v1.2.3 and the FULL version is v1.2.1, well because LITE and FULL versions do differ to answer that, we will bring them both up to v1.3 here shortly after adding in other options that were requested. Stay tuned. We apologize on any confusion there, so if you have any questions on what's different. Please read the Description of this Expansion (Mod) vs the Full and compare screenshots.

Best regards!

Updated the download EPC VBMAILER v1 2 3 LITE.zip to reflect the Current version, we have matched this up in the FULL just now as well. So enjoy and let us know if there are any other recommendations that you would like to see within this! Coupons are back on the FULL version! We welcome all feedback.

Have you figured this out? It's very easy to do by simply using Compose e-mail and preview what you are sending, set the time when you want to send it and done.
