About Developer · **Released**: 05-06-2001

First up, huge apologies to everyone who has been waiting for this hack... I actually got it to the state it's in now about a month ago, but never really polished it off after I joined the vB Dev team... and then I completely forgot about it.

So sorry about that.

Installation is a breeze. Simply unzip the attached file and copy commbull.php to your admin folder. When you run the script for the first time, it will detect that you have not altered the user table to include the receivebulletin field, and add that field for you. It will also display the necessary information about what alterations you need to make to the modifyoptions template, and the member.php file.

If you ever want to view the installation instructions again, there is a link at the bottom of the main page.

Once installation is complete, the rest is really very easy to use.

You may find that this hack is a little rough around the edges, but I'm afraid I just don't have the time to dedicate to polishing it right now, so if anyone wants to have a fiddle with the code, be by guest.

I would like to make another Sug... I want to include a header and footer (advertisements / gen info text) on this email, can we add two custom fields for this?

Arkham, see this thread: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...threadid=12366

In the message preview section you can add whatever text you like to the existing message body.

Some mroe bugs:

when selecting only Administrator Group (for testing) the script said there are no user ins the group (but there are). The same with a test group with only one user. Then I tried my self created mod groupid and it only mailt to the first user in this group
smae time and date probs like Streicher had!

Just a question, can you exclude forums from having threads/posts returned? Such as... I have a staff forum and don't want the "Hot Topics" from it emailed out to all my users.

I have just used the preview thingy, but everything looks good:

* dates are correct

* BUT private forums are included in the Bulletin

If just deleted:

AND adminemail=1 so me "no email" Problem is fixed now!

Yes, but now people who have explicitly said that they DO NOT want to receive email from the admins will get the mailing... not a good idea methinks.

Just make sure that your private forums are not checked on the first page.
