Commbull (Community Bulletin) 5.1a for vBulletin 4.01
![]() Developer Last Online: Feb 2021 ![]() ![]() ![]()
This not the CommBull product itself. This is simply instructions for adapting it to work with vBulletin 4.x.
Download CommBull from: Commbull (Community Bulletin) 5.1a for vBulletin 3.8x grandeur_69 has released his latest version of CommBull as a free add-on, indicating that he no longer has time to continue developing it. I am posting this here for the benefit of other vBulletin 4.x who don't want to lose the newsletter feature (grandeur_69 has approved this). At http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showp...6&postcount=71 a member asks:
I have the previous (commercial) version, 4.5f, which does run successfully via a cron job, running on 4.01. It required some modification of the installation instructions but it does work. I expect you should be able to get this version running as well, although as the coder noted the cron capability won't work. 1. Edit product-Commbull.xml and find the following line:
Change to:
2. Upload the files and import the product. 3. Now you need to do the template edits so that members can opt-in or opt-out of your newsletter. The current instructions are as follows:
Now, obviously this won't work in 4.x. These need to be modified as follows: 1. Edit Template: "Modify User Option" -> "modifyoptions" FIND:
ADD AFTER:
That first part (above) is the option to receive or not receive the newsletters. Next would be the option for HTML or plain text emails, which should be:
Update: This now works. I had a ( instead of a { on the previous code. Thanks to grandeur_69 for pointing this out! Notes:
Update July 12, 2010: Product XML file provided by grandeur_69 for vBulletin 4.x. NOTE:
Update July 14, 2010: Error in XML file corrected. Download Now Only licensed members can download files, Click Here for more information. Screenshots Show Your Support

Apparently both are installed on the server. But I may have other issues with getting help
![]() I have been one of the lucky ones who have never had to update their CommBull from the original "Commercial Version" and while still running it on two sites, I no longer have the originally purchased files. Although I may be able to pick them off the server. One of the reasons I kept the original was, it worked, and when I looked at the free update (when it seemed to be required for VB4 was the old version had the menu addition in the left column. Things may have made another step backwards. The first test on the server sent out the email, but did not present it as html as mentioned. I eliminated the "Extra Material" just in case, and now while it is sending the emails, they don't seem to be going anywhere... I downloaded install package from here to have a look at it, but I am not seeing any Zend or Ioncube files in the upload files. Thank you for your patience and your help!

I saw someone on another site suggested replacing eregi_replace with preg_replace. I to get some errors and have solved some, but would love to see an update ![]()

Sorry, but this stopped working for me several versions of vBulletin 4 ago and I've not been able to fix it or upgrade it to a working version. The original coder has left the building.
The only free version of a newsletter which sort of works is [DBTech] DragonByte Newsletter v1 (vB4) but it is quirky. There is a Pro version of that add-on but it is also quirky. You might also look at ModernvB Community Newsletter, another Pro add-on.

There once was a coder named Paul who had nothing to code at all.
He once worked for VB but no longer you see. So why don't you give him a "call." No members have liked this post.

![]() I don't think Paul is lacking for things to do. Plus this add-on was originally coded for vBulletin 3.x and lord knows what version of PHP. It was great while it lasted but as I upgraded other things eventually it simply stopped working on two separate forums, and I wasn't able to revive it. It would need a complete recode at this point, in my opinion.
