yes it will.

hmm I might have to think about that one.
Is there a way to have it so when they activate they account they then post as well?

like make it automatically make a post for them?

If they haven't activated then they aren't really members are they, just wasted database space ....

No, this might have to be a seperate hack but still goes along the same lines, basically to email non-posting members that they need to post.

My forum is setup so when you posts once the rest of the forum becomes active to them.
I have a number of registered users just a lot of non posters.

Looks like the product was never installed. I imported it and we will see if I get emails now :).

Before I will install, only one question, it's 100% impossible this hack deletes by an error all members of my board? Thanks

it's 100% impossible it deletes anyone who's not in the "currently awaiting email" usergroup and even then they need 0 posts.

Ok thanks sabret, installed.
But have one more question, I have a german language board, does it send the normal reminder email or need I do some translations? If no, where can I translate it and is it possible to use phrases?
And, need I manually set up the cron job or does it automatically, if no how I need to do the settings because I am not so familiar with cron job things.
Thanks a lot, very useful and timesaving hack.

Installed on 3.5.2....thanks

Hello, great hack, it will save me a lot of work:)

I searched the thread, and havent found a reply on this one, can this been done? Yes i know that it maybe a waste of db if u keep them, but i need this :)

Thnx in advance

thanks great plugin saves me a lot of time

sorry had no idea that you posted this. it was before my christmas break.

anyway it's done by phrases :)

and you need to manually set the cron up

i didn't reply to that? i thought i did. sadly it's outside of the scope of my desires for this hack, especially regarding supporting the hack. the hack can be hacked to acheive that quite easily.

Thanks sabret, no prob I could get it running and so far it saves me know a lot of annoying work.
Happy new year.

Damn, if its easy for you, can u release it on a thread, so i can do it?

Have no idea how to fix this, and its very usefull for me:( Hope u find little time and just tell :)

Can someone plz tell me how i set up the cron job?

I think it should be done this way

Can someone validate it that the above picture is filled in with correct information?

No - you need to set the minutes to something as well.

Ok is working just fine.

One question though, can someone tell me what is the title of the email that send you after the notifications are sent to the users (the sum up i mean).
So i can find it phrase and translate it too :)

Indeed, I was getting mails since hour 23 was at the forums.
But then, when I set:

http://www.action-inside.com/images/...tivation-2.jpg

Doesn't it send out mails every day at 23:25h then?

maybe someone who can make a correct screenshot of the cron setup?

Yes. Once a day.

How about the users whom waiting active from Mods ?

and is there any way to disable deleting?

great hack, it will save me a lot of work

If you have users waiting to be moderated after three days then you should probably review your working methods.

I really suggest informing users on how to set up the cron job, or taking this to the next level and having the product add the cronjob automaticlly.

Also setting the cron job to Hour 23 and minuetes to 0(the first box on the left) doesnt this run the cron job every day? The hack is supposed to do this only X days so how is it possible that this operates the way stated?

I believe there might be another problem with the script. I have installed it yesterday and it has deleted about 1000 of my members. Everything looks good in the Usergroups > Usergroup Manager, from the 1000 Users Awaiting Email now there are only 56.

The problem is on the forum's main page at Site Statistics. There, the number of members hasn't been changed. Maybe you could look into this. And in the mean time somebody tell me what's the table db vbulletin fetches the Site Statistics from, so I can adjust members number there

thank you

Use the update counters function in the matience menu of the admin cp and update counters. Use the Update usernmaes or perhaps rebuild the forum ststaistics.

it doesn't count unactivated users as members does it? if that's the case you wouldn't need to change anything.

Any word about a vBulletin 3.6 version? :)

It gives a database error when running the task with it (vB 3.6).

what's the error for 3.6?

If I run this with 3.6 everything seems to run normally

When I run it manually, the first part works good:
But then, there's the error:
Also check this bug report. So I think there's a missing 0 at the end of the INSERT query for vBulletin 3.6.0 :)

thank you very much, i'll post a 3.6 complient version in the morning.

the time specified -- is it the administrator's local time specified in the control panel, or is it the time on the host server?

oops totally forgot about this. tomorrow morning for sure. i'll sleep with this page on my monitor.

Thanks! This is one of my favorite hacks!

Whoops. It looks like I am having a problem. I uploaded the include .php file to the cron directory and imported the new product, overwriting the existing one. Here is the error
The line of code it is references is

Any ideas?

I forgot to mention that this is a 3.6 install.

Nevermind. There are two copies of these files contained in the distribution a 3.6 version and a 3.6.0 version. I had originally uploaded the 3.6 version so I replaced it w/ the 3.6.0 version and it worked well.

Thanks!

Chris

Which is which ?
