Simple Automation of 'Email Users' - 'Do Next Page' Button · **Released**: 01-18-2003

Well, this is a _very_ small hack.. and will take 1 minute, with one file change.

Basically, when using 'Email Users' from the Admin CP, I got REALLY annoyed with having to keep scrolling down and clicking on the 'Do Next Page' button. This _really_ should have been something automated from the start. SO...

This or similar should work on any version, it basically just uses javascript to submit the form 'name' automatically once the page has fully loaded. From my experience, this tends to work once you have submitted the first page manually.

I didn't notice anyone say it doesn't work.....but it didn't for me...I use 2.2.5

that couldn't be simpler but I have over 36000 members and when set to do 1000 at a time it never went to the next page and then after 5 pages I get the page not found error.

I even waited 3 minutes after each page to see if it was going to progress on it's own

You really should try a smaller amount... try 100 at a time, after the first page it should start working.

I've heard that certain browsers don't allow javascript to submit a form....
However I do know that IE does, and I am using 2.2.5 vb

Excellent little tweak, I'm using this for my community bulletin (weekly newsletter). Thanks

is there a way to put a delay on each page. the server load goes crazy when i email 50 members at a time since there is over 18k members. i thought if i could put a 1 minute delay between loading the next page it might help??? any ideas

trainer · #19 03-05-2003, 01:45 AM

bump!

I just wanted to saw thanks. I've always had trouble sending out the mail, until now. works like a charm. I know it was simple, but it was a huge improvement and I appreciate it.

PS - I set mine to 50 at a time and just let it run. Yes it takes awhile, but all the emails go out and thanks to this hack it's not a pain in the ass
