Super PM (Mass PM)

-------------------------------------
Super Private Message
-------------------------------------
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.

Any idea on how to get this to work using filters on 'User Profile Fields' ?

I just put in bold red letters at the bottom of the PMs

which seems to work and people don't reply

I've discovered that I sang the praises of this mod a little too quickly.

I am using vBulletin 3.6.4 and have 8825 members at the time of typing this. When trying to send PMs to them all it only sends to a fraction of them. If the counter is set to send in batches of 500 then it only sends 500 and nothing more. If I set it higher, it sends about 1,000 before stopping.

So it's sort of working for me on 3.6.4, but not properly.

aha...............at last you saw it...............wel people are crying for months now.......but unfortunatly no one is hearing...

Well however makes a decent fully working mass PM mod for 3.6.4 onwards will be popular and could even make quite a bit of money from it if they made it chargable like the many mods that have lite and full versions knocking about. It seems demand for this sort of thing is all over the net yet nobody has come up with anything since 3.5.x

Not sure why the following aren't being cached

Uncached templates: editor_clientscript (1)
Uncached templates: editor_jsoptions_font (1)
Uncached templates: editor_jsoptions_size (1)
Uncached templates: editor_smilie (15)
Uncached templates: editor_smiliebox (1)
Uncached templates: editor_smiliebox_row (5)
Uncached templates: editor_toolbar_on (1)
Uncached templates: forumrules (1)
Uncached templates: newpost_disablesmiliesoption (1)
Uncached templates: pm_newsuperpm (1)
Uncached templates: posticonbit (14)
Uncached templates: posticons (1)

It appears to be cached in the super PM file..

PHP Code:

// pre-cache templates used by specific actions
$actiontemplates = array(    
    'newsuperpm' => array(
        'pm_newsuperpm',
        'editor_clientscript',
        'editor_jsoptions_font',
        'editor_jsoptions_size',
        'editor_smilie',
        'editor_smiliebox',
        'editor_smiliebox_row',
        'editor_toolbar_off',
        'editor_toolbar_on',
        'newpost_disablesmiliesoption',
        'editor_smiliebox_straggler',
        'posticonbit',
        'posticons',
    ),    
    'trackpm' => array(
        'pm_trackpm',
        'pm_receipts',
        'pm_receiptsbit',
    ),
    'messagelist' => array(
        'pm_messagelist',
        'pm_messagelist_periodgroup',
        'pm_messagelistbit',
        'pm_messagelistbit_user',
        'pm_messagelistbit_ignore',
    )
); 


Anyone??
