Thank you.

On Edit: I might be having the same problem as the person in the above post.


Anyone?

1. See https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...36#post1385436 and https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=965

2. I do notice that some of the emails go out as To: member_email@something.com; member_name but it doesn't seem to affect delivery. No idea why this happens or why not all the time. :confused:

3. Chris may be able to address the From: problem. It is supposed to draw the sender email address from your forum configuration. Again, there are a few people who see other addresses there and I have no idea why or how this can happen. Sorry.

The From: line is constructed in line 45 of remindermail.php (version 1.09) -

Code:

$headers .= "From: " . $vbulletin->options['bbtitle'] . " Reminder Service <" . $vbulletin->options['webmasteremail'] . ">" . "\r\n";
How can this insert any email address other than the one specified in the vBulletin options?

2. Try reinstalling - and if you do, install version 1.09. Make sure you upload the 1.09 file versions as well as importing the product xml file.

vwdforum 12-24-2007 07:26 PM

Having read the recent posts, all new users should use version 1.9

Chadi 12-24-2007 07:32 PM

" Instructions are included."

I do not see instructions. Where does reminderemail.php go?

I was already on 1.1.1 too. Should I still downgrade?

sparky5693 12-24-2007 07:34 PM

1.1.1 stopped working for me, with no reason that I can find.
Older version has been much more reliable for me.

That's my recommendation too.

You should consider versions 1.10, 1.11, and the alternate version titled "1.2" as beta versions - try at your own risk. But I'd suggest you get version 1.09 working first so you can go back to it if you encounter problems.

See install.txt in the download:

To install, upload remindermail.php to your ./includes/cron/ dir, and import the product xml

Options are in admincp options menu, where you should edit the settings.

SVTCobraLTD 01-23-2008 06:07 PM

I was having problems with 1.11 as it would send emails to members who are on the board almost everyday even though my settings are done for 25 days.

Changed to 1.09 and it said no one was inactive and would send me tons of emails all day long saying this. So I had to uninstall. Anyone else have something like this?

Nope, this worked perfectly for me.

It was for me for months... now all of sudden started acting up. Who knows

Mum 01-25-2008 01:32 AM

Just installed this and ran it, it sent an email out to 548 people, so far 25 have come back!!!! Yay!! Awesome stuff!

It emails from whatever email address is listed in the vBulletin forum configuration. The string "box109.true02.com.hostmonster.com" looks like a physical mapping address for your hosting service. You need to contact them.

Do you get the same thing for other emails sent by vBulletin?

WARNING:

Everyone be careful. There are hacked files from version 1.11 available
adding content to your board like
PHP Code:

        </

Please everyone who has installed v1.11 check your product-remindermail.xml for this
code. You can also see the hacked version cause its adding a text line to your forum footer.
Uninstall the product then directly and search for a non hacked version.

How do I know if the emails were sent out?

bada_bing 01-29-2008 07:23 PM

Does anyone know if this works with VB 3.5.x

:confused:

If the add-on was downloaded from vBulletin.org, how could it be hacked? If it was NOT downloaded from here, surely the solution is don't download it from anywhere else.

You can check in admincp>Scheduled Tasks>Scheduled Task Log> select Inactive User Reminder Emails

It will list all userids of emails sent.

Yes. The versions at this site, vbulletin.org, are the originals - "unhacked". I've just double-checked that.

My recommendation is still to install version 1.09.

Cool,
If 1.11 is safe why recomend 1.09?
whynot just remove 1.09 untill the next upgrade?

1.09 isn't there because 1.11 was ever unsafe. The person who posted the warning must have downloaded the add-on from some other site - s/he didn't get it here.

1.09 is there because it is stable and 1.11 is buggy on some installations. By all means, feel free to try 1.11 but it may not work for you.

Version 1.09 is what I'm using and what I recommend for others

bugzy 01-31-2008 06:46 PM

whats definition of "Email Frequency" in the options?

That is a little confusing.

It actually means "How long do you want to wait after sending the first email before you send another one, assuming the member is inactive?".

So if Days of Inactivity = 90 and Email Frequency = 30, that means the add-on will wait until 90 days after the last visit (or post depending on the settings) and then send an email, followed by another email reminder 30 days later, and another 30 days after that.

Perfect, shouild probably add that definition in the original post

thanks for the hack :) hope it works !!

Hmm, why not put that clarification in the options instead of:

Quote:

How often to send a reminder email once a member has become inactive.
Because i installed it a couple of days ago, and at first i had happy people coming back to my forum, and now i had to send a humble apology mail to all of them because I had that setting set to "1". I assumed from reading the option, that it would send the mail only once!

So unfortunately the plugin kind of backfired on me :(

Robbey 02-02-2008 09:23 PM

This, yes.. This is infact the BEST mod Ive come across since Inferno VBShout lite

Better then that and mgc, so useful! Thanks!

MadK 02-03-2008 06:52 PM

Wow! Thank you! :)

cOOter1975 02-04-2008 04:06 PM

Installed!

therogueforums 02-05-2008 06:29 AM

Right... used this product for quite some time, loved it. Upgraded to 3.7.... now all emails are showing the default account email as the sender, which is NOT good. Uninstalled until support can be provided.

SVTCobraLTD 02-05-2008 02:37 PM

Had the item uninstalled and it again, sent out messages to all my members. Had to remove all the files and everything as this is not working correctly for me after months of it working fine. Not sure why it stopped.

bugzy 02-05-2008 11:11 PM

So I sent the CRON Schedule Task to run every day at 4:00AM and increased the Email Quantity to 25 each time. Is that right?

It seems the default schedule was every minute, which seems excessive.

CLF 02-06-2008 04:06 AM

INSTALLED!!!

Thank you! :)
