sendpm to group(s)

Hello,

How do I send a pm to a GROUP of members using the using the sendpm() function ?

Thanks,

I just wonder why would you like to do that as SMF already have built in feature to send PM to particular group from Admin -> News and Newsletter ---> Newsletter --> Send this message as PM .

If still something you want to do through coding or custom, below is function details :

A.) I already know HOW to send a pm and if you noticed in my post I supplied the exact same link you did so I already knew about it.

B.) I am sending the messages at defined intervals using a CRON job and before you say to set up a task to do this then that will not work either as SMF task scheduler is not flexible enough for my needs.

C.) As I said above I already know how to send a pm to one or more members by adding their member id to the $recipients array defined in sendpim() function. All I need to know is how to set it to go to a group instead of individual members.

In other words..

Code Select Expand


$recipients = array(
'to' => array(what_do_I_need_to_put_here_to_send_to_a_group),
'bcc' => array()
  );


Thx,

Ok then.. I overlooked,
Now since you know all things apart that you can't send PM to any particular member group using this function directly rather you can query a membergroup and then save those members in $recipient array and then send PM them to all !
Hope that gives you idea.

Makes sense. Thanks

Also to make it easier their is simple function which can allow you to get list of users from a membergroup :
