NOTE:
This hack is not related to, nor using Zero Tolerance's "Admin Mass PM Members" hack.
Although this is a new hack, I still would say thanks to insanctus, Oblivion Knight and Zero Tolerance for their idea and hacks on sending mass PM from admincp. I also want to thank the members who need this hack badly, and support it.

DESCRIPTION:

This system allows admins to send mass private message to members from AdminCP
Some options:
- Detail user search condition, so you can send PM to diffent usergroups, that satisfy different condition
- Send "Test" Private Message,
- Allow/disable smilies
- Override "Receive Private Messages = NO" option?
- set number of PMs to send at once
- Use different user as Sender (by userid)

CHANGES/MODIFICATION:

- Query: 0
- Files to add: 2
- Product to import: 1

INSTALL:

1. Upload all files in UPLOAD folder to your server
2. Import XML product (product-hn_masspm.xml) using vBulletin product import tool.
ACP -> Plugin System -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product
3. Refresh menu panel to display "Send PM to Users" link in "Users" section.

UPGRADE:
1. Upload all files in UPLOAD folder to your server
2. Import XML product (product-hn_masspm.xml) using vBulletin product import tool with Override option checked.

SCREENSHOT:

okay so I uploaded the files and the xml product page but I still can't see the "send a pm" row in users? Where did I do wrong?

We are really missing this mod !
I use it to send my moderators a PM from time to time (sometimes weekly).

Any body ?

[mgurain]

It works successfully with 4.0.x !
We need it to be enhanced too:
- usergroups to be deselected by default, or a (deselect all link).
Thanks,,

When I used this on 4.0.4 it sent out an email not a PM.

I was told this would work on 4.x,

I run 4.08. I just tried this, imported with no problems, refreshed many times, but still no "Send PM to Users" link in "Users" section. Very frustrating.

I tried another Mass PM hack, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showt...36#post2127536 it also doesn't work, see my comment.

Would really love to have some help on this to make any of these hacks work for 4.08

I really need a mass PM feature! Help!

No you don't create an "UPLOAD" folder...
Some files go into your existing includes folder and the rest into your admincp directory- but you may have renamed admincp to something else when you first installed.
