Emails all / selected users from Admin panel. (Based on 3.1sr4)
http://www.cantonweb.com/admin_emaillist.txt
(* Do a 'save as')
I had a client deseperate for this feature (was due for proofing this morning) and I *think* it's working ok - could use any brave souls interested in testing it out.
Also, this may be replicating other work in progress, but it looked like it was still a day or two off. If you need this mod, be sure to check out what else is posted.
Ideally it should have paging and a search feature, but I'm not there yet.
Installation / Use:
1) Replace admin_emaillist.asp
2) Go to email list in Admin panel
3) Do not spam 
...that's about it. Post any suggestions, bugs or mods!
-Kerry
Additional note:
This mod relies on all users having an email address in M_EMAIL (FORUM_MEMBERS table). If your default install has the default Admin account, be sure that it is assigned an email address or the script may timeout when trying to send.

well, sorry to say this, but that MOD SUCKED! I tested it, marked my user at my forum, and sent some messages. When I chekced my e-mail box, I had gotten lots of lots of angry letters of sending strange posts.
The wrong things:
1) it ALWAYS posts to ALL the members
2) It double-posts, it posts 2 times, 2 letters of each, so they will get 2 of them. Very bad!
Dont DL! Fix i tfirst!

Stockholmstudent,
I can't replicate your problem here, so give me some more info.
What version are you running? And is it a standard release or a modified release (HuwR's or Richard Kisner's)?
Also, just as a side note - when I asked people to test it I should have been more clear and pointed out that it is ALWAYS unwise to test any mass-mail program on a live community.
I'd appreciate anyone else's test results (*see above disclaimer).

StockholmStudent,
Your comments were totally uncalled for. Nobody is making you download these modifications. If you have problems with them then communicate those problems in the appropriate manner. |

I havent said that YOU have done wrong. I just made it VERY clear that this wasn't working. I used the mod above. Only that.
Another better version somewhere?

StockholmStudent,
I'll be glad to help you get something working, but I need the info I asked for in the above post. Because it's working perfectly here, I need to look for differences that might make your version malfunction. It is possible that you are using one of HuwR's or Richard's releases and as a result the code may need altered to be compatible - but I need to know these things before I can be of any help.

AS I'VE ALREADY TOLD YOU, I DL'd the link mesioned above, and got it workin. But it e-mail 2 examples of every version to the usres, even if I only ckilcked "send message" on etime. It also e-mail it to EVERY USER IN THE LIST, not ONLY ME, as I had selected by pushing at a box and getting a cross inside it, and pushing "send to selected users"!

| Kerry, I installed this on my forum and it works exactly like it is supposed to. It is only sending 1 e-mail and only to the people I have selected. |

I just used it in HuwR's release also without any problem (had only tried it on the official release before).
StockholmStudent,
I'm wondering if possibly another MOD in your forum is creating a conflict. -If so, it would be best if he removed this file and go back to the original until a similar mod is released that works with your particular forum.

Fix for blank M_EMAIL field issue mentioned above.
Around line 95 you'll find:
strSql = strSql & " WHERE " & strMemberTablePrefix & "MEMBERS.M_STATUS = " & 1
Directly below it add:
strSql = strSql & " AND " & strMemberTablePrefix & "MEMBERS.M_EMAIL <> " & "''"
Or downlaod the updated file

It looks so cool, though I haven't tested it yet. So good job, Kerry. Anyway, which email component can I use with cfm-resources.com? Do you know about that Richard? I've been trying:
ASPMail: installed!
ASPQMail: installed!
CDONTS: installed!
Chili!Mail: installed!
... but I didn't get any messages.

Are you using: mail.cfm-resources.net ?
I'm actually using SA-SMTPMail with cfm-resources.com I never got any e-mails when using ASPMail. |

Yes, I used "mail.cfm-resources.net". I've changed to SMTPMail, and using mail.cfm-resources.com server, but I got the error this time. Is SA-SMTPMail different from SMTPMail? Do I need to add any other codes?

Updated
A few changes to the file above:
Improved sorting for rank, last post date, no-posters, no-post for last 6 months, no-post for last year, etc...
