Newsletter refined function? or PMs to multiple selected members?
Using Jamroom
Strumelia:
As above, I'd like to request this:
Even BETTER would be to give the Private notes module a quota-controlled option to select/send to multiple users- so that we could choose having ONLY ADMINS have that feature, and still prevent members from sending out PMs to more than one member at a time if we like (and set like that by default).
I don't mean admins being able to send out a private message to a whole quota. I mean that the admin can enable a quota (such as moderators) to be able to hand select multiple users to send a private note to in one shot....while still being able to NOT let perhaps the general Members quota to do that (to prevent spamming). This would be pretty neat.
This would be something we would do in the Newsletter module, and NOT Private Notes (we don't want to be dumping potentially thousands of Private Notes into your system in one shot).
The issue here is that say you have 50,000 profiles on your site and you want to send to 25 of them - how do you "select" them? This is what Jamroom Quotas are for - they are designed for you to "group" profiles into specific groups. If you don't want to do that because it's really a one shot message - i.e. it's not a group you will ever use again - then I can understand wanting this in the newsletter. My concern is how to:
1) Add a feature like this to the newsletter module and make it actually usable
2) not overwhelm users who DON'T want this by having buttons and selectors they won't use.
