How does this template modification work?
This template edit puts a checkbox right to each user. If you click on "Send PMs", the small javascript generates a custom url "private.php?do=newpm&userid[]=1&userid[]=2&userid[]=3" and refreshes actual window with this url. Javascript code is mostly from Quick Links > Open Buddy List.

You can for example only show this mod for moderators, supermoderators and administrators (usergroups 5,7,6). Note that you have to put this condition for any template edit you want to only show to these usergroups.

<if condition="in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], array(5,6,7))">
here you do put template edits
</if>

i agree i also need a mass pm option for admins

there was one for 3.6 but not for 3.7

i think that if someone will make a product for mass pm
many will install

Does the 3.6 version work with 3.7?

Peace,

I would also LOVE to have this as a product. I'd rather not do the template edits if I don't have to.

Any update on this?

with only 13 installs there seems very low interest in a product version.

I think people are not clicking Instal button, becos it's not a product and lazy to do template edit.

If you make it as a product, I am sure it will increase.
