Mass Activation Code or Email password reminder to Users

[Lextreme]

Anyone can help me with this function. I am trying to send out a mass activation code or email password reminder to user waiting email confirmation. Is there a trick or mod i can do mass mailing for the above function?

[bonnmac]

send a mass email to all in the "users awaiting email confermation" group like this:

$username You have registered on yoursite.com but have not come back and finished your registration process. In order to gain full access and complete your registration you need to click on the following link.
$activatelink

it will send them all another email with act info and link in their username

Hi,
Yes. It is works fine. I am using this on a weekly basis to remind new members to activate accounts.

I have one sub question about mass e-mailing.
Dose somebody has a hack to send some numbers of e-mails (like 100 or 200) per hour to members? My host has such regulation and I am suffering from this.

Thank you.

Hi,
$activatelink will show up in e-mails for users awaiting confirmation.

Registered users will not see $activatelink in e-mails.

Good luck.

You know better than me but, I tested this a half dozen times and it did not work. If I send them individually it works but not as a group.

You must ONLY select members from the Awaiting Mail Confirmation group.

I also have a template conditional in the Header template that tells these users that they need to activate their accounts. It also gives the CORRECT link for them to request a new confirmation email.

do you mind sharing the code?

Immediately above this statement in your header template:

$_phpinclude_output

Add:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 3">
<div align="left" style="color: red; background-color: white; border: 1px solid black; padding:2px">Your account is awaiting email confirmation to activate. Please click the activation link in the email you were sent, or visit <a href="register.php?$session[sessionurl]do=requestemail">this page</a> to resend the activation email. If you did not receive the email then it's possible it was blocked by your email client. In this case you can either disable your blocker software or enter a new email address in <a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editpassword">your profile</a>.</div>
</if>


Note that you can add conditionals for ANY usergroup you like. I also have one for banned and inactivated users.
