- 3.00 average) In this article I am going to explain you how to send a PM with the Vbulletin 4.0.X it is based on this article http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=82786 written by Andreas
That's it basically. Lets go through those lines: Firstly it is to say, that you have to use the following three 3 lines if you are excluding that code in a class or function in a folder like /includes.
Those will provide you the usage of the whole system. I assume, that you dont need those lines if you already included the global.php! - But I am not that shure maybe somebody could confirm that. Anyway lets continue: Before we can start setting anykind of information, we need a class with which we can work, this class is called "vB_DataManager_PM" it extends "vB_DataManager". (that is the reason why we had to require 2 classes from the /includes directory). "vB_DataManager_PM" works with the table: "pmtext" of your database. However we have to give her the registry, which is $vbulletin. So it should like this:
from now on "$pmSystem" represents our class and we are finally able to set things up for sending a pm - so lets do it: Before I actually set the message and the title to the PM I want to make shure, that it is ok and that there are no unallowed things inside.
(Just to let you know if you did not recognize it, I was creating two variables for the text and the title earlier in the script I had shown above) After that we do the actual PM set up:
$pmSystem->set_recipients("bpr");[/php] We say:
So lets send our PM or not? Before we actually send we can check if it successes by:
This will return "true" or "false" - obviously true represents that it will be successfull and false it wont! So in the case shown above we say: if its possible and everything is fine, then: send it! ($pmSystem->save();) otherwise check if there are errors!
if there are errors, then print them. That is it. You should now be able to automatically send a message with the Vbulletin 4.0.X What can you do after reading this article? Have a look at the API http://members.vbulletin.com/api/vBu...anager_PM.html I hope that I was able to help at least one person! Because it took me like three hours to figure this out!!! Enjoy, maybe you could write for what you are using automatic PMs All the best, Bjoern aka bpr No members have liked this post.

This is the code from my mod:
As you can see, there are no mistakes in this code... however it prompts the following error:
It looks like the system attempts to input the PMTEXT into the database twice... anyone know how to fix? No members have liked this post.

The "only" thing you'll get when you help somebody, are some "very friendly" messages in the forum or per skype/icq "why i attack other users which are helping,etc......."
