Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Commbull (Community Bulletin) 5.1b

Community Bulletin:

This mod grabs all the latest information in your forum (posts, threads, events, birthdays, etc) and puts them into a newsletter to be sent to all your members that subscribe.

This mod has been around a long time and gone through many versions. It has been a paid version for a number of years with great success, but it's time to pass on the reigns.

[edit Feb 03, 2011]
Attempted fix for sending to users that are part of multiple user groups

[installation]
- upload some files
- upload the product.xml
- make 1 mod to the usercp options template
- FULL DETAILS in the README.txt

[note] many people ask why all the images, etc don't show up in the HTML version of what is in your forum. This is because most mail clients strip out the CSS and vbulletin is 99% CSS. I have created an HTML version that is nice and clean, but is forum independent. If you know what you are doing, you can edit this HTML file and build your own newsletter.

Well I don't know what to say, that's the error I'm receiving.

Hello, I have a problem with the MOD under vb4.1.7
After a fresh installation (all other mods are disabled), it does not work.
Commbull Version 5.1b and the xml from https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...=233798&page=7

I get an error message when sending mail related to the body.
The preview works though.

Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_VARIABLE' or `'$'' in  ...\admincp\commbull_functions.php(487) : eval()'d code on line 166

Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_VARIABLE' or `'$'' in  ...\admincp\commbull_functions.php(488) : eval()'d code on line 33

Can anybody help me, please.

Thanks

Sorry, my mistake.
The MOD works on 4.1.7
The error was because of my german translation since had a variable errors crept

                                                             <label for="receivebulletin"><input type="checkbox" name="receivebulletin" value="1" id="receivebulletin" tabindex="1" {vb:raw checkedoff.receivebulletin} /> {vb:rawphrase receive_email_from_commbull}</label>

                                                                      <label for="commbull"><input type="checkbox" name="commbull" value="1" id="commbull" tabindex="1" {vb:raw checkedoff.receivebulletin} /> />{vb:rawphrase receive_email_from_commbull}</label>

                                                     </vb:if>
					</ul>

Please can anybody help me.

Thanks Igel1


EDIT
Another question

In setting section when I select for "Only include threads that have been started or replied to since this date?" as yes, I get in the newsletter threads older than the date I selected.
The threads are older and the last post in the thread also older.

The threads are older and the last post in the thread also older.

Sorry, but in the other thread are no info on how to build in a checkbock for the newsletter in the registry site.

And this question:

In setting section when I select for "Only include threads that have been started or replied to since this date?" as yes, I get in the newsletter threads older than the date I selected.
The threads are older and the last post in the thread also older.

was indeed found but there was no answer how to fit only the hint that the last contribution would be well into the selected date. But that's not the case with me, the threads and the posts are older than the date i've selected.

sorry for my english
