Fixed a typo and Birthday Date Bug
---------------------------------------------

Here's a new version of the Community Bulletin + HTML
With the changes and the inclusion of the news section I have
titled it News and Email Community Bulletin Generator.

Here's a list of the changes/modifications that were made

Include News Articles (Threads) in bulletin.
Remove vbCode from news articles before sending email.
User email options include HTML or Text.
Forums are sorted by displayorder.
Category forums do not contain yes/no option.
Private forums marked as no by default.
Fix lasteventdate bug.
Modify admin/index.php installation instructions for version 2.2.x and version 2.0.x.
Include Admin CP edit user option to include Receive Community Email Bulletin and Type (HTML or TEXT).
Remove user password, send link instead.
Preview of HTML and TEXT email.
Post to Forum can be HTML or TEXT
Modified a few mysql SELECT * queries to include only necessary fields.
Cosmetic changes
......

To install
Copy the commbull.php file to the admin/ directory.
WIth a web browser access the commbull.php file.

Example: http: //yoursite.com/forums/admin/commbull.php

Follow the additional installation instructions.

This hack is based on Community Bulletin Generator by Kier
and additional Community Bulletin Generator functions by Kevin

Additional: This hack has only been tested on my machines. I don't have the ability to send emails
to a lot of users so this has not been tested either.

Remember: BACKUP and TEST.

If you apply the script hacks "member.php and admin/index.php" and the modifyoptions template addition this option will be included in the member registration area by default and the Admin CP.

DJ FRESCO
Check member.php for script errors if you hacked this script.

I keep getting the following databse error whenever I include the birthdays in the bulletin:

mysql error number: 1064

Works fine and well when I set the birthdays/events stuff to 0, but otherwise I get the error. Ideas?

*bump*

Also, receiving this error message while executing the mailings:

Quote:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/www/abudokan/forums/admin/commbull.php on line 932

Is this simply from sending too many (300) mails at a time?
