Would it be possible to have it so that when that box is ticked it automatically updates the 'messages' database table? (Maybe not an email, just a PM on your site) As in, when you tick it every user on the site gets a PM from 'SYSTEM' or even just the admin...

Would that be possible? Sorry for bugging XD

Sorry, I didn't get back to this mod because my host started having problems and the loading times were too crazy to get anything done.

My idea was to send a PM to everyone in the site. The condition to send PM's is already there:

newview.php

PHP Code:

  else{
                            
            $mysidia->db->insert("news",array("title" => $mysidia->input->post("newstitle"), "content" => $this->format($mysidia->input->post("pagecontent")), "user" => $mysidia->user->uid, "date" => $date, "posted" => "yes","allowcomment" => $allow));
            
                if($mysidia->input->post("allowmessage")){
                    //$mysidia->db->insert("");
                }
            } 


Next, inside the if, you'd need to retrieve all user ID's from the users table and use a loop to add the message to the messages table, one for each user (you might need the username instead of the userid, I don't remember which one the messages table uses x.x). This was my first idea, I wanted to do something prettier but I didn't come up with anything else lol
