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

  • 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:

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]

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!

Can this be updated (Full Version) to send emails to Primary and Secondary Groups?

[AzzidReign]

Don't even worry about updating... I personally think that blogtorank just scammed everyone. I'll be putting in my claims in paypal this week.

Oook! I'll tell you... I bought the full version (QHVBMailer), uploaded the files, licence file too and I wasnt able to save templates, emails, nothing at all! I only was able to manage attached files.

I asked the "developers" for support (sending the every pretty well detailed photos, etc...) but they only deleted my tickets. I think this is not the best way to honest.

Hope this post solves your doubts about buy it or not.

Best Regards and be careful

[Almotmaiz.Net]

Cool ! nice work dear !!

Installed

[HotRodGyrl]

I used the free version or lite rather and didn't do anything. Even had someone look over it. i guess you learn to keep from buying it. sorry for those who did. =/

[Marco van Herwaarden]

vBuletin.org is not the place to request support for, or complain about, commercial work released elsewhere.

Please only use this thread to discuss the version released here.

[Kwikms]

Is this version working properly?

[Paul M]

I have removed the last few posts.

Please take note of Marco's post above - this thread is for support issues for the lite version only. Posts relating to the full version will be removed and the posters will receive an infraction for ignoring staff.
