Admin Mass PM Members · **Released**: 09-12-2005

A port from https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=70223.

Though this release is quiet different, as it's been completely re-written for performance and uses the data-manager, and includes a well requested feature from the last version of compatability with secondary usergroups.

Description:

Allows admins to send a pm to all members within x primary usergroups AND/OR x secondary usergroups. See preview for more information really, it speaks for itself.

Simple installation, phrased, nothing else needed right?

Oh, and just incase you decide to ask, "But didn't beebi already port this mod?", the answer is yes, however without my permission.

So uhm, enjoy

I installed it and sent some PMs. It told me they were sent succesfully but nothing was sent to anyone. Does this hack work in 3.6.4?

If you look back 1-2 pages and review it yourself you can have a feel for it

Username need to be html_entity_decode

Code:

$recipients[] = html_entity_decode($user['username']);

and overridequota option need to be enable when sending PMs

Code:

$]            $pmdm->overridequota = true;

$]

So I altered the code to write out the list of names who it was PMing and also the state of the PM error variable, then ran it again. It would appear that three of the batchs were never sent out because of errors. The errors returned for me were;

PM error: The following users were not found:

1. Soonto&quot
2. HAS&quot
3. soop

This users name is actually 'Soonto"HAS"soop'.

PM error: The following users were not found:

1. SC &amp
2. RX

This users name is 'SC & RX'

PM error: The following users were not found:

1. Matt &quot
2. Aero top&quot

This user being 'Matt "Aero top"'

So it would appear usernames containing " or & can stop an entire batch of PMs being sent, the bigger the batch the more users who don't receive the PM.

Does anyone know a solution to this as (for me at least) if I can fix this I should be able to mass PM everyone successfully.

Hi Shazz,

Honestly though, we're allowed to discuss the changes and explain how to do them, but not allowed to post them? That's not a very logical or practical approach. It's like ridiculous government red tape everywhere, it just hampers everyone.

Everyone comes here for support, and there is red tape everywhere and obviously no support on some threads. I have seen this situation on numerous threads in here over the last few weeks.

VB.org needs to bring in a policy, where if hack authors disappear for a prolonged period, then in the interests of VBulletin hacks and the support level on this great website, other coders should be allowed to offer support and update those hacks, period.

That is a totally workable and acceptable solution in my opinion. And solutions, not rules, are what we need.

What hack author would not want members here to get support from other great coders if they can't be here? If they did have a problem, they could always mention it in the top of the hack thread "no other coders to touch my work", etc. I doubt people would be voting for their hacks though if they did do this.

My submission to VB.org is to update your policy guidelines so that this great site can function in the flawless way it was designed (to give great hacks and great support for those hacks).

Regards

Reggie

lol...i am calm shaz....see......

i was just making a point......correct me if i am wrong

if some one makes a chat system for ex. or an arcade system.....and he uses vbulletin members info jut to integrate his chat or arcade system......this person is entitled to say dont use my code

but when you use mebers info (built in vbulletin) to connect to PM system (again built in vbulletin) just to be send in groups....i dont think personally that you can say dont use my code........because the original code is already there

otherwise lets say there are 3 or 4 hacks for 2 Navbar system...3 or 4 paypal donate systems...these all should fight for that connection system too...but they dont...because those (same as this hack) are just modification for the original hack.....

this hack is a modification for the already built in feature in vbulletin........so why do we argue about it...

saying this i am still grateful for ZT for enjoying his hack for so long.....but also to mtha for updating it

i am still calm...
