Are you using a custom template? or the default?

I am using a custom template. The only problem with uninstalling the xml is all of the other changes it makes other than the template changes. Can I use the old xml file for the phrases and such?

Yes. That's what I would do. And then use the manual edits to add the stuff in the Settings.

cool, thanks for the help!

EDIT:
That worked. The checkboxes work as expected now. Thanks again for your help. This is a great product and exactly what I have been looking for. I'm glad you have been able to share how to get it working in 4.x

There is another problem with the xml file (both versions). I posted it here - http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showp...&postcount=162

With your manual edits to modifyoptions above, the problem is, if the Admin does not allow members to email other members, these options will not show in the UserCP. I think that since the Newsletter will usually come from an Admin, the options should be available regardless of the Members being able to email each other. To correct this the <vb:if> statements should be removed (they are not included in the xml file either).

Also, IMHO, it looks better if you put a space in between the check box and the label. To do this, you just need to insert a space before the phrase. I have included the code for both items above, in the below box (this is both check boxes):

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Thank you. The reason I used the if statements is because I don't want the member to be receiving the newsletters if s/he's unchecked the "Receive Email from Administrators" checkbox.

I've never had the email other members option disabled - I'll look further into this.

That is what I figured. from the looks of it though, it looks like Commbull supports and complies with the Admin Email option. So if (if I am reading it right) they have that option off, they won't get the newsletter anyway (unless you check the box to ignore this option).

Can Commbull run via cron job

I run CommBull 4.5f using a vBulletin cron job (schedfuled task) to send out the newsletter automatically every Wednesday.

I assume the same is true of CommBull 5.1, the version released here as a non-commercial vBulletin product.

For that, you'll have to ask the CommBull creator at http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=230359

Hey guys,

I downloaded & installed this great mod without a hitch...I configured the html to look exactly as I wanted it to.

When I was ready, I went to the send page and clicked on the 'send' button below...then the mod done its thing and listed all my user (blu blu...user...html ok) and way at the bottom it says 'All Done!.

Problem: None of my users got the email! And there's no way (that I know of) to verify delivery (something like 'sent mail')...can anyone tell me what's going on?
