This means that you are not running the latest and greatest version of Phorum. Upgrade your Phorum for maximum pleasure.

Mmm... can't update phorum now. Will be in December. Is there a way to install the old module? Do you have it? :)

Thanks.

Chris, right after Maurice posted his comment, I posted a fix :) Actually, I simply patched v5.1.06 so you can redownload/install that version and you will be good to go.

Wow Joe,

I'm really sorry... didn't read your answer. Thanks!

Hi,

Question... is there a limit of mails to send? I just can send 350 mails instead of 500.

Thanks!

Christian

Other problem I'm having since the first time I installed this mod is that.. I can't send mails just to active members. I always have to send to everyone... but actually the main idea is just send mails to active phorum users right?

If I select condition "active" and send the email, immediately the success message appears. But is so fast that is obvious, no message has been send.

What could happen? Is there another way to just send active users? Can I make a group of them?

Thanks!

I'll be watching for the answer to this, as the other day I had my first request from a member to be "deleted" from the forums, and so I simply made them "Active = No" in the Admin Edit Users area.

@Robert: how is that related to this module?
For us here in germany we really have to delete the users (and their posts if they request that).

There should be no limit. Are your receiving an error when you try to send 500 emails? Is the module stopping on the page that says 350 of 500 messages sent?

What exactly are you setting as the condition? It should be "active" = 1 (as shown in this screenshot).

This works for me. If this doesn't work for you, please enable the debugging settings and the Event Logging module. You should be able to see which emails would have been sent as well as the conditional code and the list of recipient ids.

I won't remove posts as it would make the discussions difficult to follow for other readers. My members know this. At their request, I'll abbreviate one of their initials and tag them as a former member (i.e. "Thomas S. {former member}"). I imagine it could be a painstakingly long process to find all their posts and delete them anyhow.

There is a module here called "Delete Myself" that simply makes them inactive (I assume) so that they could be reactivated by the Admin if they want to come back at a later time.

Here is how it relates to this module. I send a newsletter out to all my members using the Admin Mass Email module. But now for the first time I need to send it out conditionally to active users only. The module appears to have a function for this, which Chris Brown above is claiming does not work,



I haven't given any thought to this, and in the above screen cap I was hoping to see that I could write "true" or something in that last field, but it wants a date instead.

So I'll be watching the answer to Chris' question with eagerness :-)

Now that's what I was waiting to see.

Thanks Joe!
