I use SMTP option and it works fine. For the information I use Gmail SMTP Servers to send mails.

Wanted to know whether this mod works with vB 3.6.3?

ElForro 08-24-2007 04:34 PM
I've checked something else...

When I run the cron [with a Test group] the Cron Log says "No Emails to send". However, the "emailDate" field for that Test Group users change from "0" to "1187976610". So, it is updating the date as if sending the email, but no email is sent...

I've tried both, 1.09 and 1.1.1

I'm using VBulletin 3.6.8

Edit: i've changed "Inactivity based on last post" to YES, and it seems that now it is sending out emails... Must be something wrong with that option...

Hi,

Great mod :installed:. (1.0.9)

I have modified it slightly to allow the addition of a few 'teasers' from recent, active threads from within the forum. As this is my first vB mod, I'm not sure what to do next with my changes.

What is the protocol here for offering my changes back to the community - do I send them to CB, and he can incorporate them in to the next release, or do I start a new mod?

Thanks

Quentin :)

ask the original author to include it within a next release.Do not start a new mod that's against the rules unless you have the original author permission

raiderlax 08-29-2007 04:47 AM
When I run it I get:

Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /includes/cron/remindermail.php on line 29

Please how do I fix this?

Tact7626 08-31-2007 01:58 AM
nice and nifty. installed today. easy to understand. i almost feel like testing it by going inactive myself but that's crazy. :p


btw. i'm assuming the instructions don't apply to the new one no more cause the instructions say .php but the file is now .xml. so...you should prolly update the instructions so poeple don't get confused and upload it the old way.

Why does html not working?

1. If you installed version 1.11, uninstall that. Download version 1.09 and install that instead.

2. If you still can't get HTML emails to work, it may not be this add-on. It may be your mail server, or your email client. Can you normally receive HTML email from other sources? Are you able to send out HTML emails through your mail server from other programs like a newsletter?

MotMann 08-31-2007 06:57 PM
2) yes.. yes. yes ;)

djbaxter 08-31-2007 07:16 PM
Okay, if I understand your somewhat laconic reply, you caqn send out HTML emails from your server AND you can receive HTML emails from your server and/or ISP.

What about the version? Are you using version 1.09 of this add-on? If not, uninstall version 1.10 or 1.11 and download and install version 1.09.

Does version1.0.9 work with vB 3.6.3?

Please let me know. I am interested in this mod.

djbaxter 09-01-2007 02:44 AM
It was developed when 3.6.4 was out, if I recall correctly, but I see no reason why it wouldn't work with 3.6.3 - give it a try.

Will do - I'll need a couple of days to update the documentation :o

A number of the recipients of the e-mails have commented that the HTML tags are visible, even using 1.0.9.

My testing does not show this, using Outlook Express, Outlook 2000, Gmail and Yahoo clients.

Of the ones that have been highlighted to me, the common thread seems to be that the message has been forwarded from the address to which it was sent to another address. Has anyone else experienced this, and is there anyway of making the headers robust enough to preserve the formatting even on forwarding.

Note that I have NOT been able to reproduce this problem, so it will need an e-mail guru to diagnose, IMO.

Thanks

Nothing wrong with customizing a mod for your own use or even passing along information about how it was done to others.

However, as has been noted, it's not good form to publish the changes as a new add-on, except where attempts to contact the original author have failed for some reason, and that6 doesn't apply in this case.

As a courtesy, I would suggest you also pass the information along to Chris in case it might be helpful to him in developing future versions.

Hi,

It means that your query has failed for some reason, and no 'handle' to the query result has been returned.

If you haven't made any changes, then the most likely reasons are:

MySQL DB connection is not being made correctly (in which case, nothing would work)

Mod has not been installed correctly, and a new field emaildate is not present on the user table.

Hear what you say - I'll send to CB as well.

Here's an example of what is happening:

The email is coming out with no 'from', but the real 'from' is showing below the headers
Headers are included in message
HTML tags displayed.

Any clues appreciated!

hi,

To send that email you must send the content-type header.vBulletins vbmail(); functions uses plaintext by default(/includes/class_mail.php) so something like this

emailreminder.php find

PHP Code:
$message = stripslashes($message); 
add below

PHP Code:
$headers = NULL;
$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'To: $username <$toemail>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: ' . $vbulletin->options['bbtitle'] . ' Reminder Service <' . $vbulletin->options['webmasteremail'] . '>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Reply-to:Webmaster <' . $vbulletin->options['webmasteremail'] . '>' . "\r\n";
$headers .='Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit' . "\r\n";
$headers .='X-Priority: 1' . "\r\n"; 
should do it


if it works feel free to use it if not don't yell at me :D

cubenz 09-05-2007 08:30 PM
Thanks

I'm using 1.0.9, which uses mail directly, not vb_mail.

I'll try the new headers, and see what happens.

bryanb 09-06-2007 06:58 PM
I've been using this for a couple of months now, and it's been working great.

One problem - I have had a number of AOL spam complaints due to lazy AOL users who would report these mailings as spam instead of letting me know that they'd like to have their accounts deleted. I real PITA.

Is there any way to deselect AOL email addresses (or any email addresses for that matter) using wild cards? That would be great to add as a modification. In the meantime, I've had to shut this off. :(

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

Any ideas?

I am having the same error, any thoughts??

phpmailer (http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net) will do just fine to

PHP Code:
require_once(DIR . '/includes/class.phpmailer.php');
    $mail = new PHPMailer();
    $mail->isSendMail(true);
    $mail->Priority = 1;
    $mail->isHTML(true);
    $mail->Encoding = "8bit";
    $mail->CharSet = "iso-8859-1";
    $mail->From = "";
    $mail->FromName = "nobody";
    $mail->AddReplyTo("","webmaster");
    $mail->AddAddress("$toemail","$username");
    $mail->Subject = "$subject";
    $mail->Body = "$message";
    $mail->AltBody = "";
    $mail->WordWrap = 0;
    if(!$mail->send());
    {
      echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
    } 
will send HTML email easy !

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this nifty tool. Got it installed with the help of djbaxter (I'm a total novice that needed help with where to upload the .xml file).

Since there are a few versions being run of this mod I would like to suggest a FAQ on the front page. It took a long time to scroll through 50+ pages of this tread only to find that the answer to my question wasn't there. Also, the very first post stated that instructions were included, but I couldn't find any when I downloaded v. 1.09.

Why did you need to "shut this off" because of AOL? I don't understand the problem. We all know that AOL filters email aggressively but so what?

Because I have hundreds of newsletter subscribers and forum members who use AOL. If my server is receiving spam complaints from AOL, then that is a big issue for me. My domain could be blocked from AOL and that would not be a good thing.

I am hoping that someone could assist me in coming up with a solution for this. Thanks!

The solution is to include opt-out instructions in every email. Edit the message from your ACP to do so. Here's a sample:

Quote:
Hello, $username!

<p>You are receiving this email because you previously registered at {name of your forum here} with the following information:</p>

<p>Member name: $username<br>
User number: $userid<br>
Email address: $email</p>

<p>It's been some time since your last visit to our community.</p>

<p>You might be interested in having another look. We have added several features and enhancements to the forums, and many new topics and new members are added every day.</p>

<p>If you don't remember your password, you can request it here: <a href="http://{forum URL here}/login.php?do=lostpw">http://{forum URL here}/login.php?do=lostpw</a>.</p>

<p>We hope to see you back soon.</p>

<p>If you do not wish to receive further emails of this nature, please log into your UserCP at <a href="http://{forum URL here}/profile.php?do=editoptions">http://{forum URL here}/profile.php?do=editoptions</a> and uncheck the box next to Receive Email from Administrators.</p>

<p>Administrator<br>
<a href="http://{forum URL here}">{forum name here}</a><br></p>
I include opt-out instructions in every email sent out by my forum. I've had notices a few times (I think 3 or 4) about my emails being blocked as spam at the ISP level. Each time, I hjave forwarded a copy of the email pointing out that only registered forum members ever receive the emails and that opt-out instructions are included - I have had the block removed every time.

Not sure if anyone else experienced this. I saw people saying it sends e-mails to banned users. But on my board, banned users came back...unbanned.

Does this mod inadvertently un-ban people? Maybe when they click the link to change their password? I'm not sure how he got back, he just e-mailed me bragging saying that he got back because of the reminder e-mail.

No, it doesn't unban banned members.

1. You can select which member groups to email in the ACP under vBulletin Options | Inactive Users Email | Usergroups:

Code:
Usergroups
List the usergroups that you wish to send the emails to here. (Seperate by commas) eg. 2,3,4,7
Make sure that banned members aren't included.

2. How was the member banned? I don't know whether it's yet fixed but in version 3.6.6, I believe, or eerlier, there was a vBulletin bugged where members banned via the infraction system were able to return after one of their infractions expired, even when one of the infractions resulted in a permanent ban.

3. You say he emailed you. Did he return to the forum and post anything? If no, he's probably yanking your chain.

It works fine in 3.6.8.

What happens when you install it? Which version are you installing? It helps if you provide a bit more information beyond just "this doesn't work".

Sorry. Using your latest version. When I ran it no reminders were sent out. Yes all the appropriate usergroups are added.

djbaxter 09-12-2007 07:01 PM
Version 1.11 should be labeled "Beta", in my opinion. Try uninstalling that version and installing 1.09.
