Hi,

Is there a way to retrieve the list of users that have a link in their signature?
I'd like to mass PM them but can't find a way to segment only those with links in their sigs.

Thanks

Hmmm, you'd have to do a join query to get the username from the username table but in order to get a list of those with links in thier signature this should work in admincp>maintainance>execute sql query

dont forget to change vb_ for your table prefix or remove it altogether if you dont use one.

The first condition in the where clause is redundant since you are performing the join on those fields.

I tried this query but it returns an error:
'mydaabase.vb_user' doesn't exist
Any idea how to fix this error?

Edit: I have not prefix for some reason that's why. Thanks.

You can mass mail easily. Just search for "url" instead of by username or other criteria.

You could also search for users, export the returned user list, and then copy/paste users into a PM "to". Be sure your PM permissions are (at least temporarily) large enough to allow more than the standard 5 concurrent recipients.

In my opinion, both are easier than rewriting PHP (or writing plugins), unless this is more than a one-off activity.
