What field/table has the values for "Receive Email From Administartors"

Hi All,

What field and table stores the value "Receive Email from Administrators" in the vbulletin database?

I tried looking at the user table, there was one field called "autosubscribe". I am not sure if thats the one

Tx in advance

It's in the options field of the user table.

To turn it on (where X is the user id that you want to change):
UPDATE user SET options = options + 16 WHERE NOT (options & 16) AND userid = X LIMIT 1

And this would turn it off:
UPDATE user SET options = options - 16 WHERE (options & 16) AND userid = X LIMIT 1

Hi analogpoint,
Tx for helping me out the last couple of days.

Why are you doing (options + 16)
When I fired a query on the database, the options field show me a 4 digit number. Like 3143, 3159. Is there a reference table that has a desc for these numeric values?

My goal is to fire a query that will show me the number of users who have "checked" or "Not Checked" the option for "Receive Email from Administrators" during a registration process.

tx

You're welcome :)

Those options are a bitfield, so it can store many options in a single int field in the database.

SELECT userid, username, IF(options & 16, 1, 0) as acceptsadminemail FROM `user`

That will list all your users and acceptsadminemail will be 1 or 0 depending on if they accept admin emails or not.

Thats awesome. Tx so much.

One last question.

joindate. I see it stored as something like this "1186389780"

What is this date format and how I can I see its as say "mm/dd/yyyy"

I tried firing a sql statement like this:
Select
DATE_FORMAT(joindate, '%M %e, %Y, %l:%i%p') as joindate, email, username, password, birthday, IF(options & 16, 1, 0) as acceptsadminemail from user

But the join date returns as null

What am I doing wrong?

[Analogpoint]

I think it's just a Unix timestamp. Try this date('m/d/Y', $joindate);

Thats works for me. Tx Analogpoint ...
