PHPBB/Users Integration

A couple of cookbook questions

This may be an extremely stupid question, and I bet the solution is right in front of me and I am just missing it.

Is there a quick way to send an e-mail to all the users of a wiki? Say to notify them of downtime or an upgrade?

Thanks!

Look for a bulk email extension in Category:Extensions on meta.wikimedia.org

I just installed it, and I can get to the MassMailer Special page. However, I get the following error:

"Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MYSQL result resource in: ...\includes\SpecialMassMailer.php on line 62"

I did not edit the code. Here is line 62: while(($assoc=mysql_fetch_array($result))) { $wgOut->addHTML("<option selected="selected" value="".$assoc[1]."">".$assoc[0]."</option>"); }

Also, what appears to be the block for the e-mail addresses on the left is blank.

Thanks, Dave

I installed this mass mailer extension in 1.8.2. In the list of Special Pages it shows up as <massmailer>, unlike the others which show up unbracketed.

Also, although I'll send a bulk mail to all users and the program executes and shows that it sent mail to everyone, no one receives the mail.

And, unfortunately, it's the only extension like that I found, which seems unusual.

If you figure anything out, be sure to post it!
