Email to multiple usergroups in "Email Users" section

Well, this is my first published hack. I did search and looked through the hacks db and found nothing that would do this.

I went to send an email to just my Vendor usergroups and found out that I would have to go through the process 3 times since I have 3 different Vendor ug's. Forget that. So I made this.

It allows you to select multiple usergroups to send emails to at once, instead of one at a time.

I will try to provide help where I can, but no guarantees.

I could have hacked vB's current function for makechoosercode, but I didn't and made my own which is 98% similar.

Should work in most 2.x versions, but no guarantees.

Anyway, I hope this hasn't been done.

Enjoy.

Is this multiple choice box supposed to be under "Build Mailing List" or under "Email Users"? Mine is under "Build Mailing List" and only makes the list of e-mail addresses. Shouldn't it be under "Email Users" instead? Or am I missing something here?

It should be under both. You must have missed a step somewhere. Try going through it all again.

Very useful. But you could still use copy/paste and get the job done quite fast.

I found the problem. In your instructions, you are replacing this:

PHP Code:

makechoosercode("and usergroup is","usergroupid","usergroup",-1,"Any"); 

only once and it needs to be replaced in 2 places for it to show up in both parts.

Thanks Bofo. I corrected the file.
