This mod as the option in the UserCP under General Settings where they can "opt-out' from getting reminder emails. The option is at the bottom of the page.

Thanks for pointing this out. Actually, I did notice this and it's one of the issues I've worked on. Unfortunately, I don't have access to my development computer to offer a work around at the moment (power supply died recently). I am hoping to have it up and running by the end of the May, providing Newegg.com doesn't give me the run around.

I've installed this mod and have enabled it. I followed all install instructions. "Inactive Reminders" does not show up on the admincp panel on the left and I have to go to Settings > Options > Inactive User Reminder Emails

That's not a huge issue. The issue is that the mod is not working. I went into Scheduled Task Manager to run it and when I did, I got this message:

Warning: include_once([path]/./includes/cron/reminderemail.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/admincp/cronadmin.php on line 113

Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening '[path]/./includes/cron/reminderemail.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib64/php:/usr/lib/php') in [path]/admincp/cronadmin.php on line 113

Done


Do you know what I'm doing wrong and why it is not working? I searched the downloaded files for cronadmin.php and cannot find it anywhere.

Hey Michelle, Sorry to hear the addon is giving you trouble. What version of vb are you running? Can you tell me how you have it installed, such as the directory structure? Cronadmin.php is included when you install vBulletin. I'll check back later this evening for your reply.

I just removed everything and reuploaded and reinstalled it, and it is working great.

Thanks so much :D

Awesome! Glad to hear you got things working. :) :up:

hi

installed and its on the system and activated
but it dont show on the Admin Control Panel between Attachments and Users as you pic shows
Plugin is there and It's on the Scheduled Task Manager but no direct button to it
can you help

Please try uninstalling and reinstall. Please make sure that you ftp'd the files from the upload folder to your forum's root folder on your server. Once installed, refresh your admincp screen.

Jim this looks great, and I'm sure it's a wonderful execution. But, I think the idea is a bit flawed. I know that if I got an email asking me to come back, or that I haven't posted in a while, or, a message popped up that warned me that if I didn't post my forum ID would be executed (different script), I'd be a little annoyed. (I hate spam, I hate threats, and I hate begging...)

Now if the email sent some sort of an update on interesting threads that have occurred during that previous predetermined period of time that I was away, I'd find that more interesting, and I'd be more liable to return to read.

Kind of like the old community bulletin of old, but not as involved. Any chance of making an editable email, or, better yet, one that includes, for example, the most popular / recent / viewed whatever threads since the person last visited?? I think that would be really useful.

Awesome script BTW. I think with some additions, it could be a must have for everyone.

You might think so and maybe that would be true for you but I've been using this for a couple of years now through different versions. The bottom line is that it has reminded quite a few members about the forum and many have returned. That's not hypothesizing - that's data.

I also send out a newsletter (members can opt in or out of it) which highlights recent threads. That also brings back members. It goes out Tuesday night/Wednesday morning every week and through Wednesday and Thursday I get a spike in logged in members. Again, data not hypothesis.
