nope, no need.

I just installed on 3.6.7 pl1 and its working great right out of the box. I customized the message just a bit and dialed to wait 14 days then email again in 45 days. Its a great system and I think it will help with member retention quite a bit. Thanks again.

Interesting hack... Just wondering, could a usergroup 'change' be added?

So, if email is triggered 2x, on the 2nd trigger, members get moved to 'inactive members' for 2 reasons.

1) if they haven't come back after 2 pleading emails, chances are hey aren't coming back (or their emails are no longer valid)
2) I would be able to get a better idea of just how many inactive members I have at a glance.

Use this in conjunction with the EZ Bounce add-on and it will do what you ask.

Just installed this, looks pretty good.

One question though, is it possible to have a different rule per usergroup? For example In have tagged members who have to fulfil minimum requirements to stay tagged, would be nice to have one message and rule for that usergroup, and another simpler rule for other usergroups that could just get a default "come back soon" type message. Is this possible in a later version? Or would it beasier to install a second version of this?

Can you add a url checker version to our vbuletin admin in next version?

Hi.

EDITED.

Thanks.

SOLVED. SORRY MATE. I SHOULD READ BEFORE POSTING! Nice hack!

I have installed this hack but it also installs this after the copyright in the footer.

Inactive Reminders By Mished.co.uk

Was that intended? If yes will I uninstall, if not how can I remove it?

Thanks.

:rolleyes:

Please READ the first post in this thread. All your questions are answered there.

Does anyone know if this works on vb 3.5.x ?

Thank you. It's a good way to invite the inactive members to activity.

One question:

In comment there is this note:

Quote:

a HTML email will be sent out with a custom message

But after I installed it I saw this pattern on Inactive User Reminder Emails Settings:

Quote:

Your email body - accepts $username, $userid, $email. This email is plain text.)

Now I want to know can I use the HTML code in Email message or no?

Sorry, for my bad English!

Hello

When I install, I get the following when I run the script

Done

The script dosnt sent out any emails if i run it myself or let it run itsself.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Paul

I am running it on 3.6.7 with no trouble at all.

I would also like to thank the creator of this as this modification has caused many members on my forum to return after long periods of time not visiting the forum, some who did not visit for months beforehand.

I only send out emails to certain usergroups...can this be done????

I can't have the email going to everyone....I have thousands and thousands of NON PAYING members...and those who do not pay....do not get to do anything on my board.

Thus....it would be sending out emails all the time???

ANY SUGGESTIONS would be greatly appreciated.

Yours,

Kirk

WELL..that is what you get when you install HACK late at night...hungry...and under the influnece....HOW IN THE WORLD did I miss that line in the VBADMIN saying to choose only the usergroups you want to send emails too???

CRAZY...CRAZY I tell you.

Kirk

Any way to change the email address that is sending out the email?

**Installed**

Thanks.

just change the main email address of your site

Installed the 1.11, seems ok so far. Thank you very much for a great mod!

Is there a way to track responses to the emails sent out by this fine Mod?
Many users are responding, sure. But others don't.

It would be nice to be able to compile the list of non-respondents (for deletion or moving to a different usergroup).

Thanks.

Does it run on 3.6.8?

Just installed but still waiting to test...thank you so much though...very easyto install and very valuable to our forum.

This email shows that the product is installed and working as it should be.

Emails sent to: <BLANKED OUT> . We tried to email the following users, but their email address was invalid:

I only just installed and so far it has found 3 inactive users. All three seem to have invalid email addresses!

Help?!

looking at that report, it indicates that emails were sent to <BLANKED OUT>, and as no invalid emails have been listed, it indicates that none of the emails were invalid.

Damn, I see it now, that is confusing,

We tried to email the following users, but their email address was invalid:

that should be on another line. How can I edit the email template?

ver 1.11 is text only due to vbulletin's internal mailing system. i suggest a previous version if you wish to send html.

I installed version 1.11 and I ran into a problem almost immediately.

I moved two old members into a test usergroup for the purposes of sending a test email. I manually ran the cron job in Scheduled Task and it showed 56 inactive members, then successfully sent the email to the two members in test usergroup. I then went and added my Registered Usergroup in the Admin CP options. I went back to manually run the cron job to send out emails to those 56 members and it said found 0 inactive users? Now it won't send out an email because it keeps saying it found 0 inactive members? So, I basically accomplished nothing.

I definitely need some help. Thanks in advance.

Anyone have an idea how of what the problem could be?

Referring to my post above.

Really need some help with this.
