I received about a half dozen update notices on this hack today and I have yet to figure what has been done except from the first update notice.

There was a cron routine but it is no longer there since 2.1.0 release!

You're right.. Not sure how that got changed.. Anyway, I've updated the zip file and reuploaded. If you want to add the cron by hand, here is a screen shot of the settings:

Thanks for the quick fix, TalkVirginia!

Rated 5/5 and nominated :)

Edit: One more thing, the emails being sent out have no sender identified. Says it's been sent from (unknown sender)

Make sure you have an email address set for webmaster in vbulletin
Settings -> Options -> Site Name/URL/Contact Settings

I have webmaster@digi-tech.org set as email address, and the report emails / test emails I receive says "digi-tech forums - webmaster@digi-tech.org"

When I created an test account and set the user activity back 2 months and then rand the cron, that user received the reminder email from "(unknown sender)"

Can anyone confirm you are getting this mod to work in last activity mode?

I have mine set for 180 days and I have tested on a few users who have had no activity past the 180 days cut off. It just doesn't work, I get no emails to send.

If I choose last post activity mode the mod works fine.

I'm checking into these issues now and will see if I can reproduce them.

Archet,

Can you tell me if this happens every time you send out reminder emails or has it only happened one time? At the moment, I'm not able to reproduce this, however I will keep my eye on it.

Where you able to send reminder email out at least once to inactive users? The way it works is the first time reminder emails are sent out, each inactive user will get a timestamp for that reminder mail run. Each time the cron job runs after that it will use the number of days set in the field "How often should we send inactivity reminders". For example, if a user has been inactive for 180 days, this user would get a reminder. If you have 30 in the field mentioned above, this user would not receive another reminder for 30 days. If you want them to get reminders more frequently, then you would need to set this to a lower number. For instance, 7 days then they would get reminders, once a week.

It works the same way when sending reminders in lastpost mode.

I have only tried it once. Give me a couple of minutes and I will check and get back to you.

Edit: I'm having a hard time reproducing it as I can't get the cron to send out any emails even though I have set last activity/post of two test accounts back one and three months.

When I get the email reports sent from the same email address to admin, they show up with "Digi-Tech Forums" as sender, so I can only assume it's working as intended?

If not, I will give you a shout ;)
