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.
a quick guess would be that when you only chose the one usergroup to send the emails to it "marked" the rest of the users as "dealt with". if you reinstall the product it will reset the data, and will find all inactive members again.

i think that's what is happening without looking at the code.

I have installed the 1.09 version on my board with no problems.

A really weird thing happened when I read the entire thread before uploading.

It answered all my questions!!

Thank you for the great hack.

Very cool hack!

THanks! Installed!

Zaiaku 08-06-2007 08:30 PM
Used the updated version. thx great mod!

Zaiaku 08-07-2007 08:34 AM
Ok my test went ok but when I change the usergroup I get this

Emails sent to:Array. We tried to email the following users, but their email address was invalid:Array

I don't have a member called array so I know something is wrong. And the report is showing up with:

Reminders Sent: 0
Not Sent: 0
Total Inactive: 0

Zaiaku 08-07-2007 02:51 PM
Never mind I got it all working out now. Definitely a great mod!

cheech47 08-08-2007 03:27 PM
Looks good but just a few quick questions:
What email address does this registered as sent from?
And is there a way to change this if we wanted?

Cheers

Rocko 08-11-2007 08:29 AM
Why does this add on sent 5 emails to the users, even when I have set the email frequency to 1?

It's sent from the email address specified in your Admin CP as the forum email address.

Frequency = 1 means that it will send out additional emails after 1 day. See comment by towermatt below for more information:

Nice Mod, just installed it and ran it - it took a while but ended up sending out 7312 emails!

So far as well over 300 bounced emails back from addresses that no longer exist! I know there is a Mod which can take care of this but I beleive it is a manual operation. What we really need is a Mod which will read bounced emails and move the user into a 'bounced' usergroup.

I guess we have way too many inactive users! Heres hoping it makes a difference!

The other add-on is called EZ Bounce. It does require manual clicks on bounced emails so there will be some work to do for the first run through your database, but after that the maintenance is minimal.

Frequency = 30 days means that an individual member won't get a second reminder email for 30 days.

If you're using 1.09, the add-on will run as a scheduled task every day, sending out batches of emails to a limited number of inactive members and in that fashion gradually working through your member list.

is there anyway that I can just get it to run on a ccertain date? like every 30 days or whatever? Its pretty annpying to have an email every day saying this product is working properly bleh blah blah

Yep so I gathered, now installed and we'll see what happens in 30 days :)

jkay 08-12-2007 08:05 PM
Hi,

When I use this mod, when my vbulletin sends a email reminder to my members, it quotes the wrong username. Why is this so?

Also, I did not set the setting of the mod to YES, activate product. Yet it managed to send out 1 round of emails last night.

Can you please assist me thanks!

I was getting an error like: member function query_first().. I fixed it by disabling EZ Bounce.

either install 1.09 or edit the file removing the mail command that sends out the emails to yourself.

setting the thing to run once a month would not be a good idea, as it would increase server load unforgivably, and wouldn't send out emails accurately.

racingsolution 08-16-2007 05:05 PM

That is what has me right now. With over 4k users signed up, 4k emails would go out. I'm on a reseller account. That will more than likely get my account suspended. lol! Cool mod, I installed it, now just scared to use it.

redtailboa 08-17-2007 02:06 PM
I installed this mod yesterday. When the cron actually runs does it send out any report to the admin of the site? So far I have got nothing.

Does it use vbulletins mail system? I have my email options set to SMTP email because I do not run a local smtp server....could this be the problem?

redtailboa 08-17-2007 02:40 PM
I installed this on another server and confirmed that it will not work if you have SMTP Email set to yes in Vbulletin options.

Is there anyway to get around this for people who use the SMTP Email option in Vbulletin?

Head Roller 08-18-2007 01:23 AM
Fantastic Mod. THanks.

Hi,

I am a vBulletin neophyte, and this is the first mod that I've installed, so please be kind to me.

I've read through the first 30% of this thread without finding the answer to my question, but it is obvious that the mod will work if conditions are right. I'll keep reading, but if someone could help me now, I would be very appreciative!

1. Using 'Run Now', the feedback indicates e-mails are being sent, but they are not received at the other end. I can send e-mails from AdminCP/Users/Send Emails without problem (with and without SMTP set!)

2. Information appears in the Scheduled Tasks log only if I use Run Now - there is no evidence that it is running via 'cron'. (How often is the cron list checked by vBulletin when browsing the messages in my Test board?)

3. In the early part of this thread, there is talk of a limit to the number of e-mails sent out in one go - the code doesn't seem to contain a limit, and I can't see one in the configuration. Is it still there? [Update - I see that it isn't - I'm sure why will be revealed soon...

Thanks

Quentin

OK, I uninstalled, and installed 1.0.9, and the mail is now being sent.

My guess is that I just don't understand the VB Mail Queue (I tried with and without that turned on).

How do I know if it sent any out? I installed the newest version but I didn't see any option to tell it to run. I just edited the settings and saved it. Is there a way to tell if they was sent?

Assuming you are using version 1.09 (highly recommended), the add-on actually runs from a cron job. Go to Admin CP | Scheduled Tasks and try running it manually.

hi C Braithwaite

is there any way that i could check that the mod is working?
like tracking of emails sent and/or report of sent emails etc?

or any alternatives like where to roughly track the effectiveness of the mod?

thanks!

Doesn't work. In my board, the messages arrive with this sender address:

BFCentral: A Maior Comunidade de Battlefield da Am?rica Latina <BFCentral:A.Maior.Comunidade.de.Battlefield.da.Am ?rica.Latina@sharedhosting2.oi.com.br>

Forum name:
BFCentral: A Maior Comunidade de Battlefield da Am?rica Latina

Email Address:
contato@bfcentral.com.br

Board URL:
http://bfcentral.oi.com.br

I'm using 3.6.5, with SMTP send mail set on NO. My PHP.INI:

sendmail_from admin@bfcentral.com.br
sendmail_path /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i

Sometimes (depending on the mail client), the sender is just blank.

Plz help me, how can i change this "BFCentral:A.Maior.Comunidade.de.Battlefield.da.Am ?rica.Latina@sharedhosting2.oi.com.br" to a valid address?

Thanks in advance

"Singapore Motherhood and Parenting Forums" <Singapore Motherhood and Parenting Forums@mail.solone.net>

whatever you have set your "Webmaster's Email" address to in your site options.

What he's saying is, that doesn't work. I have mine setup, and yet it sends out the reply address as "UF FORUMS"@SPIVEY.UF.COM

ElForro 08-23-2007 08:52 PM
OK. I really don't understand how this works... again...

I've set 60 days of inactivity... "Inactivity based on last post" set to "NO"

So... I did a User Search for users with last activity after "2007-06-22" AND before "2007-06-23"... The result was 400 users... Let's say, 400 users with last activity 60 days ago...

But when I run the cronjob, it says it found about 4.000 users...

I searched users only with last activity before "2007-06-23" (60 days ago) and it found like 50.000...

So, can anyone please tell me how this product search for the inactive users? Based on what?

Thanks!

Edit: Just made a test with a Test usergroup with TWO (2) users... Run the cron, and it said "Found 4 Inactive Users."... Now that's weird....

Edit 2: Besides all that.. The mails are not being sent... I really don't know what's happening...
