I have found if the members don't have birth dates, they won't get a mass mail.

It's in the code when it checks for year range to send the mass mail, obviously if there's a 0 in the date month or year, it doesn't qualify and it gets skipped.

IDK how you would fix it since you really CANNOT tell the age of the member if the birth date is incorrect, so the code correctly skips that member.

It's in function QueueMessage

in the file administrator/notifies.php

I honestly don't think it's an error.  If you have a mixed site (minors and 18+) and you need to send announcements to an 18 or older, you don't want dolphin to "guess" at an age.


Also, if you are announcing a contest to ONLY 30 year olds, you don't want dolphin to "guess" who's 30 or not.


Have you made sure your profiles have valid birth dates?  I had an issue where I was getting spam profiles added and noticed that they all have invalid birth dates, so I added a check in the BxDolJoinProcessor.php to make sure the birth date didn't contain a 0 for the month or 0 as a day and my spam profiles dropped like a rock!

 

I only noticed it because of the mass mailer.  So I would say check your profiles and make sure their birth dates are valid 1st, if not, you are going to need to get that fixed.

You have to verify your members have a valid birth date, if they don't the mass mailer does not work.  The fix is to make sure your member's birth dates are valid.  use phpmyadmin and look at the profiles table.

 

You may have to send your members an email asking them to re enter their birthday.

 

You could do a custom PHP code block that checks their birthday and if the month or day is 0, blanks thier birthday out and redirects them to the profile page where they have to re enter their birthday or they can't save their profile.

 I may suggest Deanos facebook connect module that has the profile information checker that reminds the member to fill out their profile, the time for reminding can be changed. It's a great feature that really helps.
