Suggestion: Individual member e-mail capability

Alex: Just a suggestion for a future release:

It would be nice to be able to send a user a quick email message, individually, rather than to all members. This could be added in the same area as the "resend signup email" is located.

Thanks

Solo email

Great idea.

Single User Emailling - implemented

Its already in (unless I've added it in my own version and I've forgotton)....


Go to "Browse Users", find the user you want - their email is show as a mailto:link - okay you need an external email program for this.

It shouldn't be too hard to add.... oh, alright then.... here goes... all my changes are marked using the initials RCH


/admin/email.php, get_target_users()

function get_email_types(){
global $db;
$res = array();
$res['specuser'] = '* Only the user specfied'; // RCH
$res['all'] = '* All Users (pending, active and expired)';
$res['active'] = '* Active Users (paid and not-expired)';
$res['pending'] = '* Pending Users (never paid)';
$res['expired'] = '* Expired Users (paid and expired)';
$products = $db->get_products_list();
foreach ($products as $p){
$id = $p['product_id'];
$n = $p['title'];
$res["PRODUCT-$id"] = "Active users of '$n'";
}
return $res;
}

/admin/email.php, get_target_users()

switch ($email_type){
case 'all':
$where_conds[] = 1; break;
case 'active' :
$where_conds[] = "u.status = 1"; break;
case 'expired':
$where_conds[] = "u.status = 2"; break;
case 'pending':
$where_conds[] = "u.status = 0"; break;
// RCH ---
case 'specuser':
$where_conds[] = "u.login = '".$vars['user']."'"; break;
// RCH ---
}

/templates/admin/email.html

<form method=post name=mail enctype="multipart/form-data" >
<table class=vedit>
<!-- RCH -->
<tr>
<th><b>Login name of single<br> user to send e-mail to</b></th>
<td>
<input type=text name=user value="{$vars.user}" size=32>
</td>
</tr>
<!-- RCH -->
<tr>
<th><b>Select a category of<br> users to send e-mail</b></th>
<td>
<select name='email_type[]' size=5 multiple>
{html_options options=$email_types selected=$vars.email_type}
</select>
</td>
</tr>



Use at your own risk - could probably be improved.
