Question deleted. Sorry

I gotit. I changed the hour to 9 now it shows up next day.

Lapsetur, can you confirm if it's sending e-mails (with content)?

Here is an example from today's action.

And it works, some people came back to finish their activation.

ok here's a new beta version, however it really needs a hacker to check on it, as this is the first ever product and i'm not sure if i done it right or not.

hint: paul m ;) ;)

just for the record the cron doesn't reflect the xml file as i'm not efven sure it works, however i'm working on that as we speak to hopefully b4 should look more like an RC

scrap that, here's beta4

If we install this one shall we delete the templates we have created from previous MOD.

not yet.

Well the before one is just working fine for me at the moment.

I think I'll wait for the comments and final results

In "product-u_a_m_sabret00the" same warnings available

thanks, i'm trying to get everything sorted out now.

Is the new version uploaded here yet because I am still getting this error:

new stable version up: beta5, should remove all errors :)

(only thing i'm not sure about is the emails being sent)

Thanks for the update...

Hi,

Is it possible NOT to delete accounts, but just send them emails ?
Perhaps every X days ? for now ;)

that's kinda already a feature as stock but stops before this one i think
you could make this send em up until the 8th day then not at all, anything else would require another hack.

Working fine on my test system.

thanks paul, so emails being sent now too?

The e-mails were always being sent, the problem was that they had no subject or body, which means many isp's would block them as spam. They now have the correct body/subject.

ah ok, nice one. so i can remove the beta tick now then?

btw thank you, you've been a great help with the support you've offered in here :)

what about users older than 10 days? will it auto delete ?

I am looking for sending emails x number of days to have them activate their account.

it sends an email on the 3rd day, the 5th day then 8th day and then deletes users on the 10th day.

It now works an utter charm! Many thanks Sabret00the! :D

I would think so, not that you need permission.

Always happy to help with things we actually use, this being one of them.

Shall I delete the old one's templates before installing this new one

no need to do so before, but they will need deleting at some point.

Hey sabret00the,

what about an option in the admincp to NOT delete the users after 10 days but to MOVE them into another usergroup?

Yeah.

Would like not to delete them, but give them a chance to click their activation email.

Cheers,

If they haven't done this after 3 reminder emails, and 10 days, they probably never will. Besides which in our experience, 90% plus of those that fail at the 10 day point are because they supplied an invalid e-mail address, so they never get any e-mails, hence will never activate. :)

But won't this provide a problem to longtime users who recently changed their e-mail but supplied an incorrect e-mail.

For example, a member with 1000 posts changes his e-mail but forgots to add that extra letter. He will be automatically moved to usergroup 3 (awaiting email..) till he confirms his e-mail but what if he never receives his e-mail due a type and assumes that everything is okay. Won't his account be deleted after 10 days?

nope, it only deals with users with 0 posts

Going to remove the beta tick? ;)

oops forgot about that. done.

I have noticed one problem with the e-mails ;

You will notice that the e-mail address for support contact is missing.

Thanks, installed!
$webmasteremail needs to be replaced with $vboptions[webmasteremail]

Ah cheers, that'll save me looking at it. :up:

I have yet to get any emails. I've had this installed for about a month now and nothing.

nice one, i'll fix that.

they're not going into junk or anything like that?

I dont want to get the email telling me who was deleted and notified. How do I turn that off?

No, no junk folders. I also have a registered user who has yet to activiate his account from Nov. 8th, 2005 and he has yet to be deleted.

comment out line 161

uninstall then reinstall the hack.

OK If i install this today, will it delete any users who are already been unactivated for over the 10 days. Had my forum open for a fair while and wanted to know if i am about to lose 100 members in one hit?
