Module: Admin Mass Email

I have a little Problem with my newsletter-idea... how can users leave groups on theire own? :/

Sorry for the delayed answer, but I was finishing up the next update and it included some help for you.

No, users cannot leave groups on their own. However, this mod does include an unsubscribe feature. This will unsubscribe the users from all admin emails, but you can edit the \lang\english.php file included in the mod to reword the unsubscribe option to something like "Subscribe to MYSITE's newsletter:" Not a perfect solution, but it might work for you. Please download the latest version of this mod to try it.

Anyway, I have completed version 5.2.1.03 of this mod with these changes:

- Added the ability to add content to the subject and the body of the email based on selected criteria.

- Added the ability to select recipients based on selected criteria.

- Added the ability to preview the email as it would appear to a selected user.

- Added a language file to customize the unsubscribe option info.

- Fixed a bug which kept the unsubscribe option from appearing.

Please refer to the updated README for help on using the new features.

Thanks for your helping hand. I just installed the new version, but now i get

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in .../mods/admin_mass_email/admin_mass_email.php on line 440

Language: PHP
438 if(!empty($address)){
439
440		try {
441
442			// include the swiftmailer-class
443
444			require_once SWIFT_DIRECTORY."/Swift.php";
445			require_once SWIFT_DIRECTORY."/Swift/Connection/SMTP.php";

Thats part of the SMTP Mail-Module

greetings

Looks like PHP4 is in use on your server and not the recommended PHP5. For the included Swift mailer package, PHP5 is mandatory.

Maurice is 95% there. This mod does require PHP5, not just for the Swift Mailer (which it only uses if you have the SMTP module enabled), but for the try{} functionality. If you do not use the swift mailer you can remove lines 427-509 from the file and it should run fine. I will look for workarounds for the next version.

Maybe Maurice et al. could help me here. Is it possible to include a try{} block in php but escape around it for older versions that do not support it?

I don't think it is possible, since this is a parsing syntax error and not a runtime error.

I have completed v5.2.1.04 of this mod with the following changes:

- Added a batch sending system to send emails out in smaller batches to avoid timeouts. Big thanks go to Maurice Makaay for his guidance and previous code work on this.

- Fixed a bug which hindered sending mail to recipients based on selected criteria.

hi,

i'm trying this module, i have many problem with conditionnal users send to. So whatever conditions i choose i can't see any mail preview.

For example, i want to send email to user who post more than 2000 message, i think there is a bug , it's not working.

thanks for help.

Could you give me an example of your exact conditions for sending (if any), your exact subject (if there is conditional content) and your exact message (again only if there is conditional content)? I am able to generate conditions based on post count and send based on post count.

Please note that the user list for generating previews is not tied to any conditions set in the "Send email to: Conditional Users" option and will only show conditional content if the user selected meets the conditional criteria.
