Email Reminder for inactive users

[K!nG]

Hmmm i had to uninstall it before for some reason (can't recall) now installing it again on 4.1.4 hope everything works fine this time :)

[aileron79]

Hi TalkVirgina!

That mod indeed undoubtedly is really useful. I just installed it a couple of days ago. This morning the script ran for the very first time. I limited the amount of mails to be sent to 200. However, 120 messages were bounced back with invalid addresses.

I am not familiar with common mail server setups and I definitely want to avoid the disaster described by Mary. So what is a safe amount of messages to send at once? Does it make any difference if I send out 1000 messages once a day or if I configure the cronjob to send out 250 messages four times a day? However, currently there are only 1800 users to be reminded, later it won't be more than 4 a day at maximum. Edit: Forget that, found another interesting article: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1533552

I just read that you are working on a bounce detector. However, the last two log columns (valid email, bounced) are all green even though 120 of 200 messages bounced back. What exactly are the values in those columns meant to express at that stage?

One more simple feature request: It would be good to see if users returned after they have received a reminder message. Just join the user-table to the log and show the lastactivity value in the log table. maybe red for not returned and green for returned, depending if the lastactivity timestamp is larger or smaller than the one the message was sent at.

Further, users obviously have to have the modify-cronjobs-admin-privilege to access the log. why is that? Is that restriction necessary? Isn't there a more suitable privilege?

The idea of creating a bounce manager plugin is great as long as it handles not only mail sent by this plugin but by the forum itself, like pm notifications or birthday greetings. The user's mail address should be removed from the user table if it is discovered to be invalid, the user should receive a pm that his address is invalid. Maybe those users can even be moved to another usergroup as long as they have not entered and verified a valid address - and moved back to the original one after they have a valid address again... Well, I'm dreaming but maybe you can make this dream come true?

However it really is a great mod, thanks you invested so much time for development and support here, you're doing a great job!

Hello, What numbers do I put in "Number of Emails to Send Reminder Per Batch" to make it work properly?

[TalkVirginia]

Hello, What numbers do I put in "Number of Emails to Send Reminder Per Batch" to make it work properly?

Start with 10 and see how that goes through. It you don't see any bounce backs then increment it by 10 or whatever number you feel comfortable with.

I've got my computer back up and running... however it looks like I may have lost a ton of data on my raid drives. :( I'll most-likely be spending the weekend trying to figure out how to recover from that. Just an FYI.. will keep ya posted.

[TalkVirginia]

Oh btw, the good news is that I didn't lose any of the work I did on this addon. All versions were backed up on my development server. lol :D

The unsubscribe link at the bottom of the emails that this mod sends out, seems to link people to a "smilies" page.... I took a few of the links from member's emails and try them myself and, indeed, it brought up a page about smilies on our forums.

How can we get properly working unsubscribe links?

Otherwise than that, this mod is AWESOME!!! :)

Hi TalkVirginia,

as I wanted at least some basic feedback inside the acp about the mail addresses producing errors, I modified your add-on by myself.

First, I added a column "bounced" to the reminder log in the database. Then, I modified your inactivitylog.php to show more columns (returned (y/n), last activity). The last step was to implement a very, very basic imap parser which processes all mail in the mailbox (configuration inside the file). This file is run as a cronjob outside the forum. I don't know if you have already done something about your bounce manager. If not, those few lines of code might get you started. The mail parser is more than basic, it's more like a proof of concept.

For all the others: You are free to use that modification but please note that I won't support it at all - this is code I just wrote for my needs. I am still waiting for a "professional" bounce manager to be implemented as my simple solution which is just 50 lines of code most likely won't work with all mail servers. Don't use this modification in production without fully understanding the script!

This is the DB statement to add the bounce column. Make sure you change the db/prefix accordingly.


ALTER TABLE `YOURDB`.`YOURPREFIXinactiveuserlog` ADD COLUMN `bounced` VARCHAR(1) NOT NULL AFTER `validemail`;


Thanks again for this awesome mod! Cheers,
:) Aileron

Looks like you didn't get the update when you installed the latest version. Did you select overwrite?

The correct unsubscribe url should be pointing to

http://www.mydomain.com/forumroot/optout-reminders.php?u=$userid&e=$email

Obviously you will want to replace "mydomain.com/forumroot" with your own domain and path to your forum.

Hey Aileron,

Thanks for working on this! :) I do have some code I'm working on but I'll definitely take a look at this and if I can fit it in with what I've got already.

I'm still waiting to hear if Eric is still working on a release for the vBouncer addon since I'd like to separate the bouncer from this mod so it can be used with any email that is sent from vBulletin.

[TalkVirginia]

Just a quick update this morning. I'll be moving the bounced email management functionality to a separate addon. This will reduce the amount of settings that everyone will have to deal with as far as Email reminders go, and reduce the confusion as well.

Yes, his fix is a good idea. I've been a bit swamped lately but I'll work on incorporating that.

[magic74]

No need to hurry - the mod does what it should do perfectly. We got more members back on the site than expected.

The statistic thing is not really important. It´s just a add-on fpr statistic-freaks like me.

So again, many thanks for your efforts.

[pyd]

This looks like a mod I really could use :)
However, would it be possible to extend the mod a bit?

I would like to have several "levels".
After 30 days, one email is sent with a text.
After 60 days, another email is sent with a different text and the user is moved to a "inactive" usergroup.
After 90 days, yet another email is sent.
After 100 days, the user is deleted.

... or something like that.. :)

Sounds like a good idea. You might be on to something here. :) How does everyone feel about this? Might take this a step further and set up a rules system like this similar to the notices system. This way it's not restricted to 100 days and you can set the number of days yourself and have the option of how you want to handle the inactive member. For instance, based on the number of posts that they have made in the past or in some other way they have contributed to the site. Maybe they haven't met a certain threshold and then deleted. Thanks for your input Pyd! :) The thing is that I really need to get some sort of bounced email detection in this addon or in a separate addon otherwise, it's only solving half the problem. I'll definitely add these ideas to my list of thoughts.

[CharlieDelta]

Well if you did this Jim you would actually stream line me down to one mod. I am doing this sort of thing right now with three mods. I use your mod for the emails, another to move them to inactive and one more the clean up the unconfirmed usergroup and have been considering it for inactives.

This is by far one of the most interesting and important mods at vb.org, but really lacks the matter of bounces.... i have something like 200k members and with this mod active i got thousands of bounces....

Hello,

how can i change it to german?!


Update 2.1.1 (6/24/2010) - German Translation - (Thanks Semmi)
Thanks to Semmi for translating the Admin menu, Phrases and Reminder Phrase Templates to German.

[GTX2]

anyone got aileron79 changes working correctly?!

Column added correctly, and script is running with cron.
It connects correctly to imap server and gives this message:

X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.4
Content-type: text/html

Fetch mailbox information...
Messages in Mailbox: 82
Processing...


But than nothing happens, no information on bounced column being updated....
I believe it could be settings in process_bounces.php file, anyone got it working !?

Thanks !

[TalkVirginia]

Not really sure what you meant by using the "built in vb mail functions".

vbulletin has a wrapper function around the sendmail function.

[raymondblog]

So it means that even though I set vBulletin to use SMTP, this mod will use the sendmail function, not the SMTP?

Any chance of updating the mod to support the method used to send email from the admincp?

I'm testing an update on another site I have which is running 4.1.10. So far it seems to be working ok. I'm still trying to iron out issues with detecting bounced email. I'm not sure if my host is filtering them or what. Right now I have a mechanism to validate the email address before email is sent out which seems to work. There are a few smaller issues I need to clean up. I'll see how things go in the next few weeks.

[millo87]

Hi TalkVirginia, great mod, we've been using it on our forum but since upgrading to 4.1.10 It may or may not be emailing people, but it's also supposed to tell us whether the email address is valid (got through) or not. It says that every single email it's ever sent has gotten through, which clearly isn't the case.

Any ideas of where we're going wrong or how to de-bug this?

Thank you.

I'm looking for 2 maybe 3 (English speaking) admins that are running large forums and would be interested in assisting with beta testing the next release. This is a rewrite, and everyone will need to uninstall any previous version of this addon. I've made changes on the backend and I'm implementing "moving inactive members to an inactive group" and "bounced email processing". The thing is for some odd reason I'm not getting any bounced emails sent to me yet. I also need samples of bounced emails. If interested in assisting, please PM me an email address where we can chat and I can send the mod files to you. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks,
Jim

[seanadl]

Can you set this to email all users with a post count of zero?

[av8or1]

Or the member becomes inactive and you send out 20 reminders, the member doesn't come back and is removed after the 20 reminder? I'll have to think about that one. :) Thanks for the idea! I'll add that to my to-do list and see if anyone else is interested in that.

I'd like to make sure that the current features are not giving anyone any additional issues first. Also I still need to add bouced email detection which I'm currently working on.

Any updates regarding this deletion capability? I'd equally be interested in an add-on that simply moves inactive users to a separate usergroup and when/if they ever return, they are reinstated with full privileges again, possibly via mod intervention...

v3.0.0 - IN BETA TEST
Just an FYI, I've sent out the first packet for v3.0.0 of this addon to beta-testers. It may not seem like a lot, but please keep in mind this is a complete rewrite.

New features in this version include:

* Inactive members can be moved to a inactive group.

* Members can be moved back to their original usergroup, or
be moved to another holding usergroup once they become active.

* Select the usergroups to be protected from being moved. Administrator and Banned Members are automatically excluded from being moved.

* Reminder emails are handled by vBulletins internal email system, such as send now and mail queuing. If the bounced email address field is set in vBulletin's email settings, that will be used, otherwise the webmaster address is used.

* Members can Opt-Out from the UserCP as well as from the unsubscribe link in the email. The $unsublink variable must be used for it to be included in emails.

* Set the reminder subject and body content. Phrases for these have been removed to make it easier to edit.

* Track the number of reminder emails sent.

* Set the maximum number of emails to send

* Delete inactive member(s) once they have received max reminders and have not become active.
Only members that have been moved to the inactive usergroup will be targeted for deletion.

* Set the usergroups to be sent a reminder email. Administrator and Banned Members are now automatically excluded and will never be sent reminders.

Please let me know if I've missed any features you might have been expecting and I'll try to include it.

Jim

Bug? When someone tries to unsubscribe from the reminders by following the email link in the notification from this add-on, they get a page saying:

vBulletin Message
Could not find phrase 'error_unsubscribe_done'.

How to fix this?

[TalkVirginia]

Bug? When someone tries to unsubscribe from the reminders by following the email link in the notification from this add-on, they get a page saying:



How to fix this?

This is fixed in the new version.

[djbaxter]

I'm using the newest version: 2.21

See optout-reminder.php lines 66-74:

if ($result == null)
{
eval(standard_error(fetch_error('error_unsubscribe d_already',$vbulletin->options['contactuslink'])));
}
else
{
$db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user SET rmoptout = 1 WHERE userid = '$userid' AND email = '$email'");
eval(standard_error(fetch_error('error_unsubscribe _done')));
}



Added:

I fixed it, I think, by editing the product-remindermail.xml file:

At lines 216-217, FIND:

<phrasetype name="Error Messages" fieldname="error">
<phrase name="error_unsubscribed_already" date="1269327058" username="administrator" version="2.0.1"><![CDATA[Our records indicate that your subscription to our mailing list has already been cancelled. Please <a href="{1}" rel="nofollow">contact an Administrator</a> if you believe you've reached this message in error.]]></phrase>


Add AFTER:

<phrase name="error_unsubscribe_done" date="1269327058" username="administrator" version="2.0.1"><![CDATA[You have been unsubscribed from future reminder emails.]]></phrase>


Does this look correct?

[djbaxter]

Another problem: There have been several emails that have bounced back to my server (dedicated server) but none of them are showing in the logs. All I see is Bounced = No for all emails.

Is there something special I have to do for this add-on to recognize the bouncebacks?

[djbaxter]

This is fixed in the new version.

I may have misunderstood. Did you mean in the next version to be released?

[fai99al99]

nice mod .. waiting for the new Version :)

[Nemrak]

Number of Reminder Emails to Send Per Batch - 10 (Default).

How many batch are in 24 hours or how many emails will be sent in 24 hours? The time between batch is customised?

Sorry for my bad english :D.

[Alan_SP]

Mod uses cron script for sending emails.

You can find it here: ACP->Scheduled Task Manager->Inactive User Reminder Emails

I think that this script by default is set to run once a day, so if you set it to 10, it will send every day up to 10 emails. But, you can set it to run once per hour, or even more often, depends what you want.

I'm not sure how it is originally coded, but it runs once per hour on my site and it sends up to 50 emails, these are my settings.

Here are some teaser screen shots of the admincp screen of the features I'm adding into the next release. No ETA as to when it will be ready though... maybe this month... maybe next. ;)

EDIT: Sorry for the poor image quality on the main settings screen. Not sure what made it so fuzzy.

Did these features make it to the final product? What love to easily send out a testmail. I can't seem to find them.

And how do I remove the link at the bottom of the email?

Thanks.

[michaelbang]

I've translated the HTML email body into Danish, but it still sends the email out in English. What's wrong?

I've just changed the phrase:

The link in the email needs to stay. That is what members use to unsubscribe from getting reminders.

That is a design error and will be corrected in the new release. Part of the reason I haven't released a new version yet is because I'm still testing the bounced email detection as well as working on a bug with moving members to inactive groups with registration moderation turned on.

Unfortunately I don't have a release date at this time. Since the mod is now changing member groups, as well as having the option of removing Lurking members after a certain timeframe, I want to make sure that it is working correctly.

I have been running v2.21 and just updated my board from 4.1.12 to 4.2.0 on the 28th and now when the cron runs the mod finds no inactive members. I know there were a few members that needed reminders sent to them on the 29th and that did not happened. I tried running cron manually but all I receive is error shown below.

Looking for members who have become inactive and never received a reminder email...

im waiting for you

[dustoff99]

Waiting for update, upgraded to 4.2 and tried this mod and it didn't work either.

[dustoff99]

Odd, this morning I get an email that stated:

Inactive User Reminder Email Report

Members who have become inactive based on their last activity date and never received a reminder email:Emails sent to: (I had a good 10 names here)

I went to my Inactive Reminders / Inactivity Log and processed the Log Viewer and saw the same names from the email.

Quick question, where do I check a log file from my vB to verify that the email did go out to those users?

So it appears that mine is working now on 4.2

[dustoff99]

Ok, day 2 and another 10 emails went out. I haven't noticed any patterns as to which 10 the MOD chooses as some were right at 30 days out to one of my very first inactive members.

Good news, I got back 2 members yesterday and tweek'd what group the MOD targets.

Looking forward to the next update.

[dustoff99]

I like to suggest a method to send test emails to admin, to view the actual emails being sent.

Great mod!

[GamerPerfection]

I like to suggest a method to send test emails to admin, to view the actual emails being sent.

Great mod!There's an easy way to do this already. You can do it two ways.

1) Change the setting so that only accounts in the administrator group get the emails and set the inactive days to 1. Then leave your Admin account logged out for 1 day only.

2) If you'd rather not be logged out of your own forum for a whole day then use a test account (all Admins should have a test account for functionality testing) and place it in the administrator group, set the inactivity days down to 1 and leave your test account for a day.

Either of those ways you will see what the emails are like. it's not an instant thing, but it's only 24 hours.

[S_E_A]

Hi TalkVirginia, any news on the next update (version)? (The mod has been disabled on my board until the next update)

Thank you :)

[rhody401]

I installed this yesterday on 4.2, which qualified about 500+ users to receive the emails.

It does work and some of them received emails, but I'm wondering if it has some kind of known issue with 4.2 ?

At 1:30am nothing happened. However, if I run the task manually, it will do 25 people at a time (which is what I have it set to) I have since done it enough times to process all of the ones in the qualification queue.

The notification emails to the admin are also very sporadic. if I do a manual event to run this, it may be 3 or 4 hours before I receive emails for each individual batch. It will send them about 30 minutes apart, for each group of 25. But it will only do this for 1-3 of them and then stops again. I received about half of them so far.

So it's working, but I'm not sure how reliably. I received a couple bounced emails, so I know at least some have gone out. (if not all)

What i'm not clear on is why the "inactive user email reminder report" to admin seems to come hours later, if at all. It would also be nice to put a space after each name, in that report, if possible :)

Thanks in advance for any clues or advice, and for putting together such a great feature! This is something that should probably be built into VB, IMO.

Have a great day!

[alhidaya]

Hello,

Great mod, thanks!

Nice, Nice, Nice !!!

Feature request; the ability to change the senders email from webmaster@... to an email of our choosing.

If there is a way to do this now with a work around let me know and I can make the changes.

Cheers.

At the bottom of each email are the ARCHIVE links just the same that is on the bottom of my site:

Updated our vBulletin 4.1.3pl5 site to v2.2.1 of this mod, with thanks ... :up:

Made a test run and it seems to be working fine.....

Question: Do I understand that the unsubscribe option in this current version no longer works or appears within emails sent out, executed by this code the mod uses?

To stop receiving this email, click <a href="$forumurl/optout-reminders.php?u=$userid&e=$email" title="unsubscribe" target="_blank">unsubscribe</a>

If so, can I use this code embedded in the email as an option for the email recipient to stop receiving future mailings?

The error message above is specifically telling you that it cannot find /includes/functions_remindermail.php which is part of this add-on. Therefore, you have not uploaded all the files to the correct locations because at least that one is missing.

Check with an FTP program like FileZilla.

Make sure you transfer using Auto or ASCII for .php files.

If the file is actually there, check the file permissions which should be 0640

Hi,
I believe you asking where to edit the email which goes out to inactive users. If that's what you want.. Go to Admincp and on left side menu click on Inactive Reminders and scroll down a bit till you see Email format. In Email format click on Email body make changes you need and save it.

Here is screenshot. (sorry if this is not what you were looking for, but that was the best guess i could make.)

In the phrase manager email body are you using html and if so have you used and google links there?

[Alibass]

Since the coder [TalkVirginia] has turned this mod over to the vBulletin community to update as needed I took the liberty of fixing the [error_unsubscribe_done] error that a user would see after choosing to opt out of the mailing list from their reminder email.

I fixed the error only and changed version number to [2.2.2]

Remember to back up your database before installing as a precautionary measure. Also I had no issues with the overwrite install and my email body text, but you may want to make a copy of that before installing just the .xml file only if you're not doing a fresh install.

I am using this on my 4.2.2 PL4 site and it works great.

[Manoel J?nior]

Thanks Alibass

[Rakehel]

The file uploads are correct, but for some reason the product.xml for this 2.2.2 version never finishes importing. We have 4.2.2 PL4 applied and everything is current.

Does anyone have a tip? I wish vB would build this into v4.

[Alibass]

<font face="verdana">Only thing added to 2.2.2 was the error phrase that was left out by the coder. Has nothing to do with importing of mod.
</font>

I suggest you try installing 2.2.1 and see if you have the same issue.

Also are you using a custom theme?

[Rakehel]

Apologies for taking so long to get back to this. Life. Yes Alibass we are using a custom theme.

The issue is that the product.xml will not import. The message 'Importing product...please wait' displays but the upload never takes place and finishes.

Can someone also edit it to add bounce handling? Without that it creates a huge amount of unhandled bounces.

this is probably the simplest mod (and the developer has handed it over to the community).

We have inactive users (inactive for 30 days or more) stored in the usergroup "Inactive Members" so I thought this plugin would be really helpfull. It run for a couple of days and few hunderd emails were sent out, but now the task is already finished. I wonder why it skipped so many users. When I run this cron manually it says:
Looking for members who have become inactive and never received a reminder email...
No inactive member(s) found!

Edit:
All fixed now. The skipped members had optout 'recieve admin emails'. I had to ran the right SQL query to fix that and to start sending out emails again to the other inactive users. :)

Is something like this available for vbulletin 5?

First of all, great product.

I installed this product and while testing I clicked the unsubscribe from email link and it worked...I thought it would take me to a page where I would have to confirm that I really did want to unsubscribe but clicking the link just unsubscribed the email. How do I get the email address off the unsubscribe list so that I can continue to use the email address?

Never mind. I figured out that "unsubscribing" is marked by user id and the email address is irrelevant.

Does this work on vB version 4.2.4. ?

[djbaxter]

It should. It works on 4.2.5.

It should. It works on 4.2.5.

Thanks, I installed it with no issues.

Do you know where the logs are kept...cannot seem to find any?

[djbaxter]

I don't think there are any. I get email notifications when emails are sent to inactive users.

Oh ok, there is a log setting in options, but yes I guess it is just an "email log".

Thanks!
