Great update, Chris.

One point: The add-on is set to "Active = No" by default. I almost missed this... I would suggest that the default should be "yes".

Agreed. I'd be more apt to allow the link to stay there if there was an obvious link to every member's board that uses his hack. Only seems fair to me.

I did forget to mention in my rantings that I do think this is a good hack. I'm not sure if it works yet because I have no way to really test it out, but emailing these members is something I've always done manually and it'll save me the time it took to do that. Thank you.

thanks for your update great evolution :)

Hi, I have this installed and it's seemingly working correctly with the exception that I'm not receiving any emails. I set it to send out only to the Admin usergroup (group 7 in my case) based on last activity. I went into the AdminCP for another administrator I set up and set it's last activity to June of last year. Then I run the cron job and I don't receive the emails. Any ideas? I want to test it on myself before I add all of the regular usergroups. Thanks!

I installed your e-mail reminder and it works great. I have received several think use from people who have just forgot to check back in. :)

I do have a question: I have also received an e-mail from somebody who just joined saying they have received the notice also, how does this determine who will receive the notice and who won't?


I have it set:
Days of Inactivity: 30
Email Frequency: 15

Has anybody else had a problem with this? Or is my settings incorrect and causing the problem?

Thanks.

thank u very much

my reasoning was that i didnt want emails to be sent out before people had updated the template.

that is one thing that i thought might be a problem, and was my next update - sending emails to new users. ill fix that asap.

I should add the following to my post above. Even though I have a user in my Admin group who has not logged onto the board since 2006, I get the following results when I run the cron job manually:

Inactive User Reminder Emails

Done

Looking at the php code, it appears that it should say:

Inactive User Reminder Emails

mailing test@test.com (done)

Done

but I don't see anything in between the lines even though clearly this test user i set up does qualify for a mail according to the parameters I set up..

you mean you are logging on as a diferent admin, setting your other account's lastactivity to june, and while on the second admin account running the cron resulting in no emails?

what is output when you run the cron manually - it should say who is being emaild?
