MassAlert - Send custom alerts to groups of users

[Darfuria]

Just tested it on RC2 and it's still working as before. Do you get any specific errors? How exactly is it not working?

The alert isn't sent out. No errors though.

Another issue is you can click "Send Alert" without entering any details or selecting any groups and it will send a blank alert.

The same when I select every usergroup. I just send an alert. It appears I have a notification but when I click over the notification it's blank.

any recent feedback on this add-on? I'd like to get it but very I am interested to know if it is stable and working.

Oh Oracle - Will test it myself later today and get back to you here.. Dont you have your own dev site?

 

[Ryan Kent]

Technically my dev site is up in that XF RC3 is installed but that's it. No add-ons, no data, etc. Later this week a friend will show me how to restore my live site data to the dev site, then I can use it for testing. Even so, I thought I would ask the community for feedback from their experience. Live feedback from a few weeks of actual usage is better then anything I can hope to gain from a couple hours in a test environment.

its stable, but kier was saying somewhere that something like this could have a bad effect on the db if unread message alerts pile up on inactive members.
di indicated he was thinking to create a cronjob or whatnot to clear those out in an upcoming release, but i dont think thats happened.
outside of that it is great. its stable and all. i suppose all is fine if used in moderation.

Works great.
Senario, I post a mass alert then decide to edit or delete is this possible?

If you're comfortable working with the database, you can edit records in the dark_massalert table. Deleting them will probably give you blank alerts, but it's not something I've tried.

Shure happy to do that if it's a major

Is it a fresh install on your RC3 or have you upgraded your forum from the older versions and it keep working?
