Error message when searching for a non-existing user - User Merge
Error message when searching for a non-existing user
Just wanted to let the developer to know that there is this "A specified user for merging could not be located within the database." error message when using the Manage Users link under Quick Access.
You'll see it when you search for a non-existing user. That module is not related to this extension but I guess the error message got affected by this.

or
Login to ACP > Users and Groups tab
then find a member that does not exists. You should see the error message "A specified user for merging could not be located within the database."

Re: Error message when searching for a non-existing user
NO_USER
and change it to this NO_USER_FOR_MERGE
then find this line in the extensions ACP module php file $this->user->lang['NO_USER']
and change to this $this->user->lang['NO_USER_FOR_MERGE']
and that will then fix that.Appreciate the extensions/mods/support then buy me a beer

Here is another similar bug.
Go the
ACP > System > Mass Email
. Try entering your own username. When you try to submit, you will get the following error:A specified user for merging could not be located within the database.
Your fix above helps. I am wondering if it would be a good idea to update this extension?
I was testing this, to see if I could send myself an email (I am the admin). Just testing if the mass email is working or not?
Though I got that error, I never got myself the email. Perhaps the error wanted to say something else, but at this point, I don't know? Can the admin receive a mass email from the same admin?
UPDATE:
I got this error when I tried emailing myself using the mass email utility:
Information
The selected user does not exist in the database
is this normal?

No that isn't normal. I just tested it using my admin name on the forum and the email went out fine.
EDIT: New version has been submitted to the CDB.
