If you want to (automatically) send a PM to a user, you can use the Class vB_Datamanager_PM.
This class makes sure that all values are correct, handles quota for the recipients, notification eMails, etc.

Example

PHP Code:
// create the DM to do error checking and insert the new PM
$pmdm =& datamanager_init('PM', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY);
$pmdm->set('fromuserid', 1234);
$pmdm->set('fromusername', 'Welcome-Bot');
$pmdm->set('title', 'Welcom to our Forums');
$pmdm->set('message', "Hello\nI am a Bot and would like to give you a warm welcome :)");
$pmdm->set_recipients('newuser', $botpermissions);
$pmdm->set('dateline', TIMENOW); 
If anything goes wrong you can check for errors using
PHP Code:
$pmdm->errors 
This is an erray containing the errors.

If everything is OK
PHP Code:
$pmdm->save(); 
This will send a PM to user newuser telling him
Quote:
Hello.
I am a Bot and would like to give you a warm welcome
The message will appear to be coming from User Welcom-Bot (Userid 1234).

$botpermissions must be the permissions for the sending user, but can just be empty.
If you want to send PMs no matter if the PM box of the recipient is full or not:

PHP Code:
$botpermissions['adminpermissions'] = 2; 
If you want, you can set other options as well ($pmdm->set_info(...)):
  • forward = 1/0 if this is a forwarded PM, Default=0
  • savecopy = 1/0 to keep a copy if the PM in outbox, Default=0
  • receipt = 1/0 to request a read-receipt, Default=0
  • parentpmid = ID of the PM you are responding to (if applicable)

Furthermore you can specify ($pmdm->set(...)):
  • iconid = ID of the message icon the PM should carry, Default=0
  • showsignature = 0/1 Whether the signature should be shown or not, Default=0
  • showsmilie = 0/1 Wheter smilies should be parsed or not, Default=1

For multiple receipients just use user1;user2;useer3.

No. If it contains [email] and [url] codes those will be parsed, if it does not they will (obviously) not be parsed

Ooooooh!

Because I'm working on my Report to PM (without email notification in any case) plugin...

So I have to change the email template phrase I guess.

does anyone know how I can pass an additional variable to $pmdm?

I want to pass a single extra 1 or 0 and I then want to detect this in the $pmdm class and act accordingly.

I know I'll have to modify the code in the $pmdm class, but I can't work out how to pass the extra boolean, and then detect it in the class.

If anyone has any ideas, I'd be very grateful

What is "touserarray" used for? It seems redundant. I can remove the data from touserarray in pmtext and it still works fine.

trying to use the PM data manager within a plugin at hook location profile_doremovelist. When the script at profile.php runs, everything works out fine, but no PM is sent. I'm stumped :ermm:

here's my code...
PHP Code:
the code i had here had errors... i didn't want to confuse anyone, so i removed it ;)

I finally figured it out by process of elimination, my results are here if anyone wants to check out the code I used.

Thanks for this howto Andreas, i couldn't have figured this out without this thread.

Is anybody aware why when you send a pm from a given user to another user through the use of the sendpm code in this thread and found elsewhere, that no email is sent nor does it show a pop-up that you have a PM waiting.

This is kinda worthless in that sense. I have seen others with the same issue, but no work around.

As a follow-up, it did email, but not notification online when sending a regular PM does do that.
