The MassMessageEmail extension allows sending email messages to a list of users. It can also email wiki pages to users by transcluding them within the message. It requires the MassMessage extension. For usage instructions, follow the instructions on that extension's page. If there is a User page in the MassMessage delivery list, instead of posting to the user's talk page, if the wiki can email that user then it will.
This extension was created for WikiWorks.
Installation
- Download and place the file(s) in a directory called
MassMessageEmailin yourextensions/folder. - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
wfLoadExtension( 'MassMessageEmail' );
- Install the hook, as below.
Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
Hook installation
If you are using version 0.3.0 of MassMessageEmail (or earlier) and version 0.4.0 (or earlier) of MassMessage, you must modify the source code of your MassMessage extension as follows.
In the file extensions/MassMessage/includes/Job/MassMessageJob.php, find these lines (around line number 349):
// If the page is using a different discussion system, handle it specially
if ( class_exists( 'LqtDispatch' ) && LqtDispatch::isLqtPage( $title ) ) {
... and change to:
// If the page is using a different discussion system, handle it specially
if ( !\Hooks::run( 'MassMessageJobBeforeMessageSent', [ $this, $targetPage, $subject, $message, $pageSubject, $pageMessage, $comment ] ) ) {
return true;
} elseif ( class_exists( 'LqtDispatch' ) && LqtDispatch::isLqtPage( $title ) ) {
Starting with version 0.4.0 of MassMessageEmail and 0.5.0 of MassMessage, this is no longer necessary.
Enabling parsed HTML email
To have the wiki parse the message being sent as HTML, you'll need to:
- Set $wgAllowHTMLEmail to
true. - Install Mail_Mime.
