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

grandeur_69 provided the XML file but I have not personally tested it. However, if you're installing 5.1, by all means give the XML product file here a shot. If it doesn't work for you, try the manual edits instead.

Noerenberg, if you still have problems, try uninstalling the product and using the manual edits instead of the XML product file.

That's a server error. You'll need to contact tech support for your hosting service.
