Any chance of getting "Latest Subscribers" added to this product?

amazing mod thanks for this. i will leave feedback on if it increase my paid member status

That would be a bit different than the intention of this addon. That said I can probably still help you... where would you want this to appear?

Top of FORUMHOME

Please Note: An updated version of this addon has been posted which addresses the two known bugs. Users should now see the properly formatted expiration date for their subscription as well as show data from the farthest away expiring subscription. If your users have multiple active subscriptions this means the one that expires in the longest amount of time will be what the system uses to key messages.

An upgrade is recommended. To preform an upgrade, simply upload the new product file with the option "Allow Overwrite" enabled. This upgrade will only change the plugin code and will not alter customized phrases.

Well the standard vb does send out a notice on subscriptions... I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this?

Something weird is happening with the new version of this mod. In the top left corner of all my styles is the word "no". When i disable the mod, "no" goes away and when i enable it, it comes back. I've done this back and forth many times and its the same thing every time i enable it.

Why is it doing this?

Sorry about that... I left my debug mode on. Please download the new version.

The email is wonderful but it's only one touchpoint and comes out just before the susbcription ends. Reminding people via email gets them thinking but they may forget to act... seeing it again when they're on the site is just another way of reinforcing the message. For some forums all the messages make sense, for others just one or two and of course for some, none.

It seems there are some path issues. It thinks it is in the root directory of my website when it isn't so therefore the link is not correct on the "Click Here". I don't see any place to adjust this for the path so I am assuming I need to do that within the xml itself?

Lack of sleep makes one not see things clearly LOL...I figured it out easy enough. ;)
Excellent mod! Thanks!

Ted, thank you very very much for this!

I had that mod installed. It was awesome but doesn't seem to work on 3.7 and is evidently outdated/in the graveyard. Counted down the days, had an optional checkbox to not show the message again, etc. Not bad. Ted, if you want to evolve yours, might want to look into it. I can send you the code to review, I have it somewhere.

Which brings me to this question for this mod...

How long does the notice stay on the screen for the person viewing it?

If I do:
24 Hour Alert
48 Hour Alert
7 Day Alert
1 Month Alert

Does that mean the 1 month message will remain until the 7 day one replaces it, etc.? Or do the messages show just for that visit? Sorry if this has been answered, I looked.

Good question Jason. At this point the messages show up until they are no longer relevant (i.e. the next one takes over). I'll likely add something to let the user close them down soon.

Ted I like the idea of adding something for the user to be able to add an ignore but only if that is admin adjustable. Certain users only if you know what I mean. Again thanks for this mod. I love it brother!

Tom, you can put them into a usergroup and ignore that group all through the admin options.

Has this been rectified? I had to uninstall in the meantime.

This is not a bug to be fixed... urls are setup using the standard but you can edit any of the phrases/ links to match the individual forum needs.

Ok guys i fixed the path problem.

if you have your path set to www.xxxxx.com/forum then download the xml with the title subexpires1.

If you have it set to www.xxxxx.com/forums then download the xml that has the title subexpires

Thanks

Note: Downloading this version may not give you the latest changes as they are released. Using third party versions of addons is not recommended and may not be supported.

The latest version of this addon uses relative urls to point the user to the same path they are already in. If you wish to customize your urls beyond the defaults you can easily do through your admin control panel by visiting the Subscription Notices System.

Any word on getting "latest subscribers" added to this?

The purpose of this addon is to notify people about the status of their subscription which is what it does. While I see some interesting value to your suggestion, it's not something I see including in this particular addon.

hi, this is very nice.
do you know if it will work with 3.6?

It's not 3.6 tested nor do I support it with 3.6 but odds are it will work... I would encourage you to install it and see what happens.

Installed

BUT

I would encourage "latest Subscribers" to be included to make this mod worthy of MOTM.

Great mod with loads of potential, so why not exploit it's potential ???

its working perfect on 3.6.8 level 2 !!!

Thanks for your feedback. As I mentioned before, I don't see the relation of one to the other but while i had been considering a separate hack, I'm very well aware that my opinion is not the only one that matters. :D

So with that in mind, for those of you who want to show the latest subscribers, where would this appear (in a message block? elsewhere?) and how would it function ideally for you.

Right now I'm thinking a list with an admin defined number of members that can be included with any of the other messages or with one for non-subscribers. Anything else you'd like to see it do?

I would love for it to be added to any template, but more specifically FORUMHOME, would be an ideal place for me. To get members to subscribe and resubscribe, they have to be able to SEE that others are subscribing as well IMHO.

wacnstac, UK-Biker & others who want the recent subscriber function...

I've built out a new version of the addon which I think you'll like. Recent subscribers can be set for each/ any of the messages as can the number of subscribers shown and the date of each one's subscription. While I'm comfortable with how this works more testing and feedback would be great.

Please use the attached code on your test boards and let me know if it meets your needs. You can customize the list contents from the vBulletin options or phrase manager.

Note: You will need to enable the option for one or more messages to see it!

Second Note: For those who don't want this option, don't worry, it is disabled by default and queries are only executed if you enable it.

Great News :D:up:


Will install the new code over the weekend and test it for a while and then leave feedback.


Thanks Ted

Can the recent subcribers be seen my non-subscribers as well? I'll try to get this installed tomorrow. Just saw it now.

Yup. Just use the notice for "non subscribers".

This is a fantastic hack. Does everything I could have ever wanted from it. Thank you!

What is the order of the names that are displayed in the latest subscribers part of this hack? My name always seems to be up first even though there are others who have subscribed after I did.

Hook: usercp_complete
Code:
[hr]

Hook: forumhome_complete
Code:
Regards.

Regards.

Whoops... it was ordering by expiration date. This has been changed to the id #. Please download the newest version if you use the recent subscriber feature.

Has this been changed yet?

It's not listed in the update log or features list... so no. :D

I have already installed the previous version and want to upgrade. Should I uninstall previous version and then install new one or just install?
If I uninstall it first would I lose the texts I have inputed ? Should I backup ?

To upgrade just upload the new product file and allow it to override what you have now. This way only new or updated information is applied and your old settings remain in place.

You should always backup addons before upgrading.

thanks.
