The zip file attached contains 3 files. They all go in the admin directory, and need to be made executable. login.pl already exists. All I've done to that file is add a link to the new group message script. The other two files are new.
All this does is use the groundwork Rick already laid to send out private messages to groups. The groups you can send to are All Users, All Moderators, All Admins, and All Moderators and Admins. Like I said, this was already built into w3t.pm, and all I had to do was create a form and a script to send the input through w3t.pm. It allows for markup to be used in the private messages.
Hopefully later I'll get some understanding of how Groups are used in v5 and I'll be able to update this so that it can address messages to user-defined groups. If I'm that clever. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> For now it can only use the built-in "Status" groups. Oh... and it does not send an email to the users telling them that they have a new private message. I haven't decided whether I want to go about trying to add that.
