The perfect solution would be to let people opt into a group (just like the smartmail module does for newsletters) and use the simple "mail users" function built into the system.

A couple more options:

(1) Have you thought about using the calendar (such as extcal)so users can sign up for "volunteering events". Then you can email users who signed up for a specific event.

(2) You can use a subsription module (Subscritpion from 3rd eye is pretty good). When users purchase a "subscription" they are put into the group you specify. This may be overkill for what you are looking for.

(3) Pay a XOOPS coder to put together some custom XOOPS code to do what you want. It shouldnt be too difficult.

I suspect there isnt a quick fix for what you are looking for.

Good luck,

What I am trying to do is allow someone to send emails to interested parties. This would be accomplished using the "mail users" function sending an email to this particular user group. I do not want to be in the business of manually inputting users into the groups.

Did you try SmartMail from StartFactory?

Kurt, the CBB 4.0 is not dead, check the svn:

With all due respect, I've been on the dev.xoops.org list for CBB 4.0 (You invited me and I accepted) and there's been no new information, nor a 4.0 branch.

I also PM'ed you on this site regarding 4.0 and havent heard back.

If you need svn commit access, please let me know or contact bandit-x

I've been IMing bandit-x for several mnonths about this very topic. JUST YESTERDAY he put up the link on this site about the 4.0 branch on dev.xoops.org.

To get involved more, for core development, please contact me or dave_l; for project maintenance, please contact xoops-council AT googlegroups.com

At this time, I dont know XOOPS well enought to be a "core" developer. Plus I am trying to write a custom module for my site which has a monster learning curve.

Thanks for the invite though.

If you would like help and be a part of solution, please PM me or anyone on the Project council. I am sure you have some skills that could be put to use.

I joined the CBB 4.0 board and it is bascially dead.

I have hacked and fixed numerous modules just to get my own site up and running and passed those tips along. I have answered many questions on xoops.org as well. So I am involved.

However I cant get involved much more due to several XOOPS roadblocks. Once a clear vision, mission statement, and unbiased leadership is established for XOOPS I will reconsider.

I'd love to share some of my tghoughts with the council but not sure what they even want. To that end I see a long post regrading the fighting about the Council! Sheesh.

The product has the potential...

Xoops Crash and Burn or Rise Up?

I was a newbie to XOOPS a year ago and over the course of 10 months or so, learned XOOPS and deployed my site. I learned a lot and realized how powerful XOOPS was and could be. However as I became more educated about the tool, I realized that it was in a state of flux.

Recently I've noticed a lot of posts with people arguing about control of Xoops, modules are developed in non US languages only, modules are out of date, etc.

During my search for a CMS tool, one contender that i liked was vbulletin.org. I think they have the right idea. While they charge for the product, there are timely updates, upgrades, modules, etc. And the price is very nominal. $160 for a lifetime brand license. The modules also have costs but are $50. So for a couple of hundred bucks they have updated code, support, etc. They also offer professional services.

Now my question is why can’t that be done here? It would certainly result in a better centralized product with more frequent updates, new features, etc. Think of all the people trying to deploy a site that are not coders? They are in for a tough road.

So is XOOPS set to crash and burn or rise from the ashes? I'm rooting for XOOPS but it's getting difficult to hang on.

Just my 0.02 worth so dont flame me unmercefullously...

Try this thread

As noted by charpres, this is a SQL insert script andhas nothing to do with Xoops.

Has anyone heard anything about the status of CBB 4.0? It is hosted on dxo:

http://dev.xoops.org/modules/xfmod/project/?newbb

I was interested in helping progress the module so I joined the team. However it seems as if it is stalled. Anyone have detail on what is happening, where it's going or who can help?

Regards,
Kurt
