Hack Version: 1.0.4
vB-version: 3.5.x
Developer: msgotit
Install-difficulty: Easy

Description:
Allows specified users to send a Private Message to certain groups of people.

This is basically the same as the hack created by UAE and in talking with him I have posted this here.

Super Private Message will give you the convenience and ability to provide many different options for sending mass private messages to users by any one you choose to assign this task to based on Conditionals (if):

User's Usergroup is Y.
User's has posts greater than x posts.
User's has posts less than x posts.
User's Join Date is After (yyyy-mm-dd).
User's Join Date is Befor (yyyy-mm-dd).
User's Last Activiy is After (yyyy-mm-dd).
User's Last Activiy is Befor (yyyy-mm-dd).
User's Last Post is After (yyyy-mm-dd).
User's Last Post is Befor (yyyy-mm-dd).

Settings in the Admin CP:

Specify who gets to use the Super Private Message System by Assigning their User Names or User IDs.
Specify the Secondary and Primary usergroup they can send a mass pm to.
Select what usergroup to be visible for selection(s).
Select to have the assignee change his identity when sending.
Control what fields to be visible for each assignee.
List All assignee, delete/edit them.

History:

1.0.1 BETA
Fixed bug in xml
No longer show to whom the message will be sent (if you like that don't upload the superpm.php file. If your copy is working there is really no need to upgrade, there are no major changes yet - hopefully soon there will be!

1.0.2 BETA
Changed wording in Template - Makes more sense
Changed location of SuperPM link in admincp - Contained in the "User" group
Changed insert to fix/help fix the problem with overloading the server
Added option for admin to show to whom message will be sent

1.0.3
Fixed bug causing a php error * Thanks for the report Fofer
Fixed bug saving message to sent items even if you don't send it.

1.0.4
Added Email on pm - WARNING this will most likely not work if sending to over 500 people (probably ok up to 1000) although may be server intensive. Also, to do that you will likely have to change the max number or pms in superpm.php file from 500 to 1000.
Misc. changes as requested.

To upgrade, upload files and import the new product, click on overwrite and you will be set.

Can you add the option to send a "pm received" e-mail to all users , even if they disabled it?
And the option to send everything like a batch spread every hour or so, not all at once.

If you can do these 2 things that would make it a awesome hack for me.

Thanks for your work so far!

There is no "Send" button! Only count and confirm, and preview. What am I missing?

[cmiller1014]

FYI this hack for some reason stops the "Email on PM" from being sent. I sent a PM to my 6800 members and they got PM's but no notification via email. Without that - this is almost useless to me

I am getting this error.

Fatal error: Unable to proceed with save while $errors array is not empty in class vB_DataManager_PM in /includes/class_dm.php on line 749

Why?

[msgotit]

What exactly are you doing... when you submit it is there anything blank, or... That will just help me debug the code. I haven't ever gotten that, but maybe there is something I always do that I haven't accounted for in the code... let me know if you can think of anything and I will look into it.

Hi there,

I have installed the mod and all seems to work fine until I go to send the message to the registered users, I get the following message and nothing sends out:

Invalid recipient username. Please press the back button, enter the correct username and try again. Click Here to See the Members List

Can you help me with this one please.
