Request: Community Update (bulletin like combull)

[Andreas]

@cmiller1014
Currently, we got approx. 2,600 active users/day (not counting guests).
So far, we've sent out 1 Newsletter, but that was almost 1 year ago.
At this time, we AFAIK had about 2,000 active users/day, after the newsletter it was about 2,500.
So it was noticable, but as we got many complaints about spamming from our users we decided not to do it again.

Thanks, Bud! I will be pruchasing all of your products as soon as I upgrade to 3.5. You've certainly got the goods!

I have commbull working on my vB 3.5 forum. But since I didn't code it, I doubt I can release it. It was a bit of work to convert, but it's doable.

• There are still two user table fields added.
• There is still a template edit of modifyoptions and the same code works, although I cleaned it up by removing a bug and changing the phrases.
• There are still four phrases.
• The hack of profile.php is now a hook.
• I didn't mess with the ACP menu item, never did for this hack. I just access the file directly by the browser address bar.

EDIT:
OK, I did the XML for the ACP menu item. I also rewrote the installer and instructions for vB3.5. I needed it to work right so I don't have issues in the future.

If anyone knows the previous authors and can get in touch with them to post this, let them know and I'll forward them the code to post. I don't want to support this or post this myself.

Thanks

commbull is nice but not what i need.

i need just a small newsletter feature!

The members can select in their options if they want to get the newsletter or not.

in admincp i should have a editor where i can write the newsletter and send it out to all members who have agreed to get it.

not more.

i think that could be coded in less that one day. or am i wrong?

anyone else wants such a simple newsletter feature???

You can edit the newsletter email before it's sent. Right after you hit the preview button.
