 |
|
My b2evolution Version: 1.10.x
is there a way to send out a blanket email to all registered users?
If so, is there a way to do it by user type? i would like to send some updates, like a newsletter, to all of the bloggers on my community.
I have looked at the database and found the user table but it only has name and login. |

tilqicom,
thanks for the vote of confidence. I searched but kept hitting dead ends and 'blog by email' stuff.
Hopefully, someone has an idea on this, or an old archived post.
cheers |

Do you really use 1.10.x version or it's a forum bug again?
I made a hack for 2.x
Save the code as conf/hacks.php
| PHP: |
<?php
$sender_name = 'Admin';
$sender_address = 'admin@blog.com';
$subject = 'Message subject';
$message = 'Message body';
if( !empty( $_GET['send_messages'] ) )
{
global $Messages;
$UserCache = & get_Cache( 'UserCache' );
for( $recipient_User = & $UserCache->get_first(); !is_null($recipient_User); $recipient_User = & $UserCache->get_next() )
{
$recipient_name = quoted_printable_encode( trim($recipient_User->get('preferredname')) );
$recipient_address = $recipient_name.' <'.$recipient_User->get('email').'>';
if( $recipient_User->group_ID != 1 )
{
if( send_mail( $recipient_address, $subject, $message, "$sender_name <$sender_address>" ) )
$Messages->add( sprintf( T_('Your message has been sent to "%s"'), $recipient_User->get('preferredname') ), 'success' );
}
}
}
// Quoted printable encode
function quoted_printable_encode( $string, $charset = 'utf-8' )
{
$string = rawurlencode($string);
$string = str_replace("%","=",$string);
return "=?".$charset."?Q?".$string."?=";
}
?>
|
Type the following in address bar to run the script
| Code: |
| YOUR_BLOG/index.php?send_messages=1 |
If you want to try the script first use
if( $recipient_User->ID == 1 )

I'll probably make a plugin from this hack with HTML and attachments support.

sam2kb,
is the userid = 1 what distinguishes admin, bloggers, standard login, etc?
i am currently upgrading to the latest version (2.4.2 i believe), and can run your hack once I am done.
I would really like to push an email to varying levels and customize the email accordingly.
thanks again. |

I was also gonna mention that but i presumed the bug took action already..When talking of that tiny bug; is it really that hard to fix that bug ? or at least disable that dropdown box; so that the user will have to type his version instead of choosing a misleading one ?

This script was tested for 2 minutes or so that's why I think you should send a test message to admin first
| PHP: |
|
if( $recipient_User->ID == 1 )
|
Then you can use any combination
Send to all users except Administrators
| PHP: |
|
if( $recipient_User->group_ID != 1 )
|
Send to users #4 and #9
| PHP: |
|
if( $recipient_User->ID == 4 || $recipient_User->ID == 9 )
|
