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.

i disable it
there are issue with vbseo when you use google analytics , so the mail will be full of this java script of the google analytics

it did not depend on vbulletin mail , so even i use paul addon for mail it will not send any thing and the paul hack wil store the data of mails and stop to work

Would appreciate knowing the answer to this one

Also, getting this error when I try to preview the message

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/site9/public_html/forums/admincp/commbull_functions_preview.php(121) : eval()'d code on line 25

vb4: as we will need to do this when we upgrade all our forums, i will make it compatible when the need arises, if no one beats me to it.

Audax666: don't tell boss-man i released this he may not like it.

Attachment & html code: i've noticed that this has been happening to us recently, so I will need to look into this myself. it's on my task for this week.

EDIT: added doctype and cleaned up html header information. shows up properly for me now

I'm really confused as to why the HTML version of the e-mail includes images such as /images/commbull/arrow_forum.gif when no such image is even included in the download...?

[grandeur_69]

good point. this was part of the old script i had set up and there was a link in the readme to the old files ... i will upload those ASAP

Thank you for the Nice mod

the "show info starting from this date" means that you are searching through the forum data for info starting with that date. I'm not sure what timezone you are in but it's not 2010 yet, so that is why you only see 2009.
