vBulletin Self Delete - Allow users to self-delete their profile

[Vossi]

What is vBulletin-Self Delete:

This addon allows your users to self delete their profile in your forum. While the process for this goes on, you can use additional settings like cool down time, conformation code, move to another usergroup instead of 'hard deleting' and much more.

The users are (depends on your settings) getting deleted right away or while a hourly cronjob is running in the background.

Installation:

Upload all files you can find in the 'upload' folder to your server and import the product file in admincp. Then you check the usergroup permissions and the settings under admincp -> 'Settings' -> 'Options' -> 'User Profile: Self Delete'

If you habe TMS (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=152931) installed in your forum, you are down with the installation. If you dont use TMS (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=152931), then you have to change the 'navbar' template manually. For manual changed open the template 'navbar' and search for:
<vb:if condition="$show['notices'] AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'register'">
About that code, enter this code:
<vb:if condition="$show['selfdeleteinfo']">
<form action="vbselfdelete" method="post" id="notices" class="notices">
<ol>
<li class="restore" id="navbar_notice_1">
{vb:rawphrase vbselfdelete_remember_to_stop_deletion, {vb:raw show.selfdeleteremain}}
</li>
</ol>
</form>
</vb:if>
That's it.

Hello,i have any questions: messages that are already written by user in the forum will be set as a guest?

It is possible to move delete users in a user group called "Deleted Users" and make a condition in member profile that the user profile is not viewable?

Yes, they will.

It would be possible, actually it's not build-in yet. But could be an option vor Version 1.0.1.

I wonder if this will work on 4.1.2 P5 :erm:

[Vossi]

I wonder if this will work on 4.1.2 P5 :erm:
Actually it should, I just set it to 4.1.7 as that's the Version I developed it for and that works for sure. I'm even quite positive that it works with every Version of 4.x, but that has to be tested as there might be a problem with the template. But like I said, it's worth a try.

Let me know if you try :)

I'll give it a try later and let you know. I'm off for work now.

Vossi, works great on 4.1.2 :D:up:

I am so thankful someone asked that question. This is something to look forward to if the author adds that feature.

[Vossi]

I just uploaded Version 1.0.1.

The new version has the option to also move the user into another usergroup instead of processing a hard delete.

[Robru]

Thanks for your update :)

[Alex@bulletin]

i also find it better to move deleted users to an own group instead of setting the posts to "guest" this could be create confusion ;)

[Vossi]

Now everybody can do like he wants to, either delete the users or move them into another usergroup. :)

[Alex@bulletin]

i know i just wanted to express my pleasure to this new feature :)

[OldSchoolDSL]

On line 54 of the XML file

) TYPE=MyISAM");


Anyone with a newer php / mysql will require to edit this so it will read


) ENGINE=MyISAM");


I have attached a pre-edited copy for those of you who may dislike having to edit files yourself.

How will you know if you need this?

If you attempt to import the current one and receive an error... Try this one. :)

[Vossi]

TYPE= should be down compatible with mysql, ENGINE= ist actually just recommended as far as I know.

[Robru]

Works very good, move to another group, thanks! :)

The feature, that users are geting moved into another usergroup, is already built in.

[dang3rzon3]

Installed. Thanks for your help!
It is also possible to add the reason for deleting profile similar to facebok?

Example:

134566

Users can select a reason for cancellation and the mod show a faq that convinces him not to delete the profile (He may not have understood how to use the forum or to set privacy setting....)

[terminator2k2]

When the user requests the deletion, what exactly will be deleted? only the profile or also the posts?

[Dr.Colin]

Thanks, it works fine.

There is an Reason Field on the Self Delete Screen.
So a User can give a Reason.

I wrote your Request in the Self Delte Project Tools, at the Addon Coders Board.
Maybe it?s come in an future Version.

[kushal]

It shows to me while importing

The following dependencies were not met:
This product is not compatible with version 4.1.3 of vBulletin. (Compatible starting with 4.1.7 alpha / Incompatible with 4.3.0 alpha and greater)

Is it not compatible with 4.1.3?

[MrD]

Hi,
this Addon is developed for vb 4.1.7 and only VB Version 4.1.7 or newer are suported.
But read Answer 10.

[Rolli]

Thank you Vossi,works perfect for me.

[phoenix1977]

This mod is not compatible with vbulletin 4.0.4.

Getting this message:

On 4.1.9??

[Vossi]

Well, just upload all the files that came with the addon ;)

[Michael Sievers]

I did :(

I did :(
Guess not, as this message only appears if one or more files are missing while installing the addon ;)

[Stormlilly]

Hi there,

With the option to close the account (move the member to another usergroup) what do you do to prevent the user being able to login and / or receive emails?

At present I do this process manually. I move the user, remove the email address and change their password so that they cannot login.

Is there an easier way to do this, perhaps the settings in the usergroup?

Storm

PS How much is the unbranded version?

I think it's very important this add on because many people delete his profile only because doesn't know there's a Privacy Panel in UserCp or doesn't know how to use Friends&Contact functions.

If user can choose the reason i think it's possible to see a FAQ.

For Example.

"I want to delete my profile because i have privacy issue".

FAQ: Hello user. Do you know can you customize your privacy and see your profile only to your friends... Go to User Cp....



(sorry for my bad english)

Wonderful idea!! I think this should be by default.

I wouldn't be surprised if vBulletin would make this hack part of their core system. Great hack!

[MyPeSePe]

Saveme for instalation tomorrow .

[herofire]

dont work :(

[MrD]

hi,
dont work :(
works fine in 4.1.7 and newer Versions.
I have this Addon installed in 4.1.7 and now i use 4.1.11 and it works fine.

[waldbauer.com]

Hello !

Just found and installed with fix but is there an option to move user to blocked usergroup after cool down period or should i manually do this ?

PS: Installed in vb 3.8

[BryanLong]

Hi all,

is it possible to change the Reason-Field, so that this will become a field which has to be specified on requesting the self-delete.

So that it will become a MUST-Field instead of a CAN-Field.

Thanks!

Best regards,
Bryan

[KevinL]

If they stop the deletion should there be an option in the admin to move them back to the prior usergroup before moving to the cool down group? Right now it looks like they are stuck in the group they are moved to and have to be moved back manually? Is this correct?

Thanks!

[Vossi]

Yes, I don't see another usefull way of doing it otherwise.

[KevinL]

Yes, I don't see another usefull way of doing it otherwise.

I'm not sure I understand. It would be more useful to move them manually or to have them automatically moved back to their usergroup they were in before asking to be deleted? I would think to have them moved automatically would be more useful no?

Thank you for the reply!

[MrD]

Hi,
Yes, I don't see another usefull way of doing it otherwise.

at the VBouncer Addon, there are an Option that Users where moved Back in the Usergroups if there have the Mailadress verified.

Maybe this is an Idea for Future Versions :)

[Elixar]

Just a random question: Is there a way to have them delete their profile, but hide it from the public and still have it visible to Staff?

[AllenBAN]

when will this work for V 4.2.2 cos id like to use it

[MrD]

This Addon Works fine with 4.2.x :D

TYPE is old MySQL (MariaDB) syntax, no longer supported, change it to ENGINE.

Thank you, that did the trick :)
