This seems to work. Thanks man. Please update your hack according to this!

i will update it soon, i just need to get round to adding the other features first :)

i.e. better logging in the task logs rather than just stating it's been done and email to specified user to log the events there also.

i didn't see anything concrete but does this work for 3.0.3?
thanks

yes it's working with vb3.0.3 :)

---edit i'm retarded :o

I've been using this hack for some time, and it works OK (3.0.3), but I have one question.

From the code, I assume that the cron script checks if a user is in group 3 (waiting activation) and has zero posts, and then it proceeds to check if his activation code is empty (I do not know in which case this happens) when it generates an activation code for those users. If it is not empty, it changes the activation code for the users.

Why do you do that? I mean a user has registered and is send an e-mail with an activation code. He receives it today, and he does not activate for two days. Then he tries to activate, but the script has changed his activation id, to something else, when it was run some time during the evening of the first day. Is this what happens? I would expect a change of activation code, to occur only for those users who have reached the limit of 3, 5 or 8 days, just before the new e-mail is send.

The reason I am asking, is that I have received several problems from users who try to activate and they can't. Then when I send them a new activation code, they activate fine, if they do it immediately (I do not know what happens if they do not do it immediately, haven't discuss it with anyone).

I would appreciate your comments.

the reason that it was done that way was because, when it tried to extract the initial activation code from the database it would always come up empty, so the fix was making a new one, it was one of the earlier bug fixes by boofo.

i've created a test user who has not been activated via email.
seems like the script works when sending out mail but the mail text body is empty..no subject no text in the body.
somebody please help.
thanks in advance

did you install the templates included in the zip?

i was going to delete what i said.
i did something retarded and added the templates to my default style template and not another template that i'm currently using.
shame on me.
hopefull it'll work
