how to add user name in the message title..

i mean how to do this.. osama11! We miss u ????

i love this mod :)

i've got 2 questions:

1)after this fury week of updates, i've got a little problem.

the menu for reminder mail it's shown on the left panel, but also on the options menu.

is it ok? it appears twice?

the other thing it's a suggestion. how about adding a new feature for configuring a rebound mail?

thx in advance

hiya - this is fine that it is twice (actually it's only once, but with 2 links)
Im working on a rebound mail script as we speak. it's complicated and im trying to make things as easy as i can for people.

Just so people know - i've updated the version of this mod for version 3.7x and it supports bounced emails. im going to convert to 3.6x as soon as i know it's somewhat stable.

how to add user name in the message title..

thxxxxx allot 4 ur help .. dude.

coming in the next version upload

Okay just bitten the bullet and installed version 1.2.7 and hit two problems.

1) The product would not install into vB 3.7.2 PL2 until I adjusted the 'maxversion' to 3.7.3.

2) I have at the moment 33,378 users registered and the Mod decided that 29,727 users were inactive. This is with setting the inactive period to 90 days. That seems way too high a ratio?

See attached images for examples.

for the moment I've disabled the Mod until you can check that the coding is correct. I hate to think our forum is that quiet!

In case you need it my settings are also attached. (Note bounce usergroup set to 0 to hopefully disable the feature until I know we are working okay) :)

first things first: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=188383 here is the mod for 3.7.x

try increaseing the inactivity period and see if that affects things. i will double check the code, but im sure it's correct as it's a simple query.

Ah whoops must watch my versions. Now marked as uninstalled, so if you could respond in the other thread it would be appreciated.

Will try increasing the period.

it's that necessary? i think i can't change it
what is it for?

it is only necessary if you wish to use the auto bounce management.

Ok so we can use 1.2.7 without the 'Bounce Management'?

yes. the functionality will be there, but if you dont set up the filter then it will never get used. the reminder emails will still go out as normal.

i don't use cpanel, how is it called that "thing" that must be changed in order to use the auto bounce?

thanks again :)

you need to be able to set up an email filter to pipe an email to an application. in this case our php script.
what is it that you use? does your host support filters and piping?

thanks
i'll ask my hosting company and i'll try to install it :D

if it doesn't support filters, it will be possible to set up a bounce email anyway?

ps: check what this author made with bouces https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=138884, maybe it's an alternative for users that don't support filtering

unfortunately it cant be achieved any other way. yes, ez bounce is anoter solution, however it is something more manual.

in the future i would consider coding a POP reader to read bounced email from an inbox, but that would be a very distant thing for me ..

anyway, it's still a great hack :D

yeah... great hack! ;)
just waiting for his enthusiasm to fade out to install the last version LOL

I currently have 1.0.9 installed. Yes i know its a really old version but its been working for me since then. I am running VBulletin 3.6.8 PL2 also. Will the 1.2.7 version work with this version of vbulletin.

it should do, as this is the version it was tested on.

I'm in the same boat using v1.09 and it's working fine .... :)

I'm afraid to switch given all the problems I had tryng the old v1.1 .... :D

Let us know if you have any problems.....

Thanks

dyk why ez bounce doesn't work with this mod?

The idea of handling bounced emails is good, however it only works on servers where e-mail server is running on the same server as the webserver for vBulletin. This isn't our case.

I'd like to know if this feature can be disabled, i.e. if I will have any trouble if I install this hack without the email bouncing part.

Thanks,
Gabriel.

I agree, even 2 versions ago it ws a great product... maybe is time to wrap it out... ;)

p.s. even a year ago it was a great product!

you will have no problems with the plugin.

what is the current status regarding 3.7.3 compatibility? It wont install for me on it. Any plans?

helo,

i have installed v.1.2.5 on vb 3.6.0 and i am not seeing the "send test mail" option in the 'inactive users' section.
is this located somewhere else?

thanks

i cant remember which version includes it tbqh. if it's not in the "reports" section, then its not there "yet"

Question: If a member is moved into the Inactive usergroup and comes back to the Forum, is he automatically moved back into Registered usergroup?

Wow I just installed 1.2.5 and it is sending 2 and 3 e-mails to all of my users. It is also drastically slowing down my forum. What happened to the old scheduled task style? :(

I have installed Email Reminder, activated it and the following stats are returned:
Total inactive users: 11697
-of which accept admin emails: 11566
Inactive users left to contact: 11476
Users that have been sent the maximum emails(2): 11536

but no mail has been sent. The email sending from forum normally works, but not with this product. Any idea about the cause of this issue?

When I was saying his enthusiasm for this hack, I never meant disappear LOL

"Users that have been sent the maximum emails(2): 11536" i think is bugged.

im still enthusiastic.. im just stuck! lol. im trying to figure out the bugs by gathering data. dont worry things will be fixed soon!

I've just installed the new version and it fixes all the bugs I was getting here.

With the test e-mail option I was even able to include my Forum Image and Adsence using something like <p><img src=image http or adsence link></p> and worked great this way.

With new e-mail header set up I've tested in web accounts like hotmail and yahoo and e-mail sent aren't been sent to spam folder any more.

So far so good.

I am glad to know that this plugin is working on some forums without issue. thanks for the positive feedback!:up:

I tought you're gonna like it. It's easy to see you're working hard to support everybody here and some feedback that things are doing OK sometimes helps a lot.

2 small suggestions:
1) why don't u use the mail feature that vb provides?
2) Can you create a switch for disabling the bouncing headers?

and a question, is it possible to use variables like $username in the subject?

thanks in advance

I am using the mail feature that vb provides - in earlier versions, i was using the mailqueue but inserting it directly as the vbmail function doesn't allow for html. I have however overcome this problem, and now use the vbmail fully now in my latest version.

The reason i didn't add a switch, was because i didn't see the need to do so. if you are not using the bouncing system, there is no harm in the emails having the headers in, and i would never advise not to use the bouncing system anyway, as this mod generates a LOT of emails, which some servers may consider spam if a lot of your emails are bouncing.

and finally - it will be possible shortly to use the $username variables in the subject. i am currently developing the mod for vbulletin 3.7x and once that is working i will convert it to 3.6x for you.
