Hi slawekl,

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.

I am using 6.2.3 and I think there is something not really working with your script.

Info: I updated month ago from ubb.classic and my admin has another userid than 2. Could this be a problem?

Short: Users are getting info about new mail but none is in their home

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.
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
Code
<br />elseif ($Group == "ALL_USERS") {<br />         $selector = "";<br />


There is nothing with ALL_GROUP.

Can you please modify this hack to work on 6.2.3 and 6.3 cause its quite cool

For [6.2.3] >>>

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

That won't work in 6.2 or higher, because everything uses numbers.... not You'd have to convert Sender and Recipient to numbers.

I'm not sure exactly, but places it's referencing...

$Sender = $user['U_Username']

would need to be

$Sender = $user['U_Number']

as Usernames aren't used in any tables but the users table in 6.2 or higher.

do_PM.php must look like this to make it working with 6.2.x
Code
<br /><br /><?<br />   require ("../main.inc.php");<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_Number'];<br />   $Subject = "$Subject";<br />   $mess    = "$Body";<br />   $html -> send_message($Sender,"",$Subject,$mess,"ALL_USERS");<br />   $Sender = $user['U_Number'];<br />   $To      = $User;<br />   $Subject = "$Subject";<br />   $mess    = "$Body";<br />   $html -> send_message($Sender,$To,$Subject,$mess);    <br />   $html -> send_header ("PM has been send",$Cat,$user);<br />   $html -> admin_table_header("PM has been send");<br />   $html -> send_admin_footer();<br />?><br />


I've tested it and its working fine. Thanks for your help Josh.

Cool hack!

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.

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

Does anyone know how I can purge these 'ghost PM's' from the system?

Oh! and After I installed the fix, everything else is working just great!

Edit - Never mind FIXED!.. In a fit of panic, I forgot allllll about that little thing known as the SQL Database
