Mod Name - Abbilty to send PM to all users <br />Version - 0.2 <br />Description - You write PM from admin section and it will send to all users. <br />Working Under - should work under ubbt 6.2.x (testing under 6.1.1) <br />Files Altered - <br />admin/menu.php <br />New Files - admin/edit_PM.php, admin/do_PM.php <br />New Database Tables - no <br />Author - slawekl (Slawomir Lorenc) <br /> <br />[NEW VERSION] <br />In new version script looks better. <br />----------------------------------- <br />edit menu.php <br /> <br />at the and of admin options add: <br /> <br> <br /> <a href="{$config['phpurl']}/admin/edit_PM.php" target="mainFrame"> <br /> SEND PM <br /> </a> <br /> <br />------- <br />Upload 2 new files to admin folder. <br />

Hi slawekl,<br /><br />I added this to my board and have a small problem. I wrote a PM to all my users and they get the small letter that a new mail is waiting for them in their private mail folder but no mail is in.<br /><br />I am using 6.2.3 and I think there is something not really working with your script.<br /><br />Info: I updated month ago from ubb.classic and my admin has another userid than 2. Could this be a problem?<br /><br />Short: Users are getting info about new mail but none is in their home <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Check if in 6.2.3 exist "ALL_GROUP" value. You must check it in ubb.inc.php file. My script doesn't contain get_input function, which is required for all 6.2.x scrpits.<br />I tested my script in 6.0.2 and 6.1.1 and 6.2

The only thing I found in ubbt.inc.php 6.2.3 was <br /><br /><br />There is nothing with ALL_GROUP. <br /><br />Can you please modify this hack to work on 6.2.3 and 6.3 cause its quite cool <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

File do_PM.php<br />---------------------<br /><?<br /> require ("../main.inc.php");<br /> $Cat = get_input("Cat","get");<br /> $User = get_input("User","get");<br /> $userob = new user;<br /> $user = $userob -> authenticate();<br /> $html = new html;<br /> $query = "<br /> SELECT U_Groups<br /> FROM {$config['tbprefix']}Users<br /> WHERE U_Username = '$Username_q'<br /> ";<br /> $sth = $dbh -> do_query($query);<br /> list($groups) = $dbh -> fetch_array($sth);<br /> $dbh -> finish_sth($sth);<br /> $Sender = $user['U_Username'];<br /> $Subject = "$Subject";<br /> $mess = "$Body";<br /> $html -> send_message($Sender,"",$Subject,$mess,"ALL_USERS");<br /> $Sender = $user['U_Username'];<br /> $To = $User;<br /> $Subject = "$Subject";<br /> $mess = "$Body";<br /> $html -> send_message($Sender,$To,$Subject,$mess); <br /> $html -> send_header ("PM was sended",$Cat,$user);<br /> $html -> admin_table_header("PM was sended");<br /> $html -> send_admin_footer();<br />?>

That won't work in 6.2 or higher, because everything uses numbers.... not You'd have to convert Sender and Recipient to numbers. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Sorry what must I do to get this working with 6.2.3 Josh?

I'm not sure exactly, but places it's referencing...<br /><br />$Sender = $user['U_Username']<br /><br />would need to be <br /><br />$Sender = $user['U_Number']<br /><br />as Usernames aren't used in any tables but the users table in 6.2 or higher. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

do_PM.php must look like this to make it working with 6.2.x<br /><br /><br />I've tested it and its working fine. Thanks for your help Josh. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

ups... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> Mea culpa.. I've fogotted about that (:

Cool hack! <br /> <br />Have one sort of annoying problem though, I downloaded the 1st set of code, which as other members have stated - sends out a blank PM. <br /> <br />Problem is, even though my Inbox appears empty, its stating theres still 1 message available. I know it isn't really a major problem, but it's gonna stir up some of my members <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br />Does anyone know how I can purge these 'ghost PM's' from the system? <br /> <br />Oh! and After I installed the fix, everything else is working just great! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br />Edit - Never mind FIXED!.. In a fit of panic, I forgot allllll about that little thing known as the SQL Database <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

is it possible to make an dropdown box to select vhich group to send the pm to ??<br /><br />Thomas
