This mod as the option in the UserCP under General Settings where they can "opt-out' from getting reminder emails. The option is at the bottom of the page.

Thanks for pointing this out. Actually, I did notice this and it's one of the issues I've worked on. Unfortunately, I don't have access to my development computer to offer a work around at the moment (power supply died recently). I am hoping to have it up and running by the end of the May, providing Newegg.com doesn't give me the run around.

I've installed this mod and have enabled it. I followed all install instructions. "Inactive Reminders" does not show up on the admincp panel on the left and I have to go to Settings > Options > Inactive User Reminder Emails

That's not a huge issue. The issue is that the mod is not working. I went into Scheduled Task Manager to run it and when I did, I got this message:

Warning: include_once([path]/./includes/cron/reminderemail.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/admincp/cronadmin.php on line 113

Done


Do you know what I'm doing wrong and why it is not working? I searched the downloaded files for cronadmin.php and cannot find it anywhere.

Hey Michelle, Sorry to hear the addon is giving you trouble. What version of vb are you running? Can you tell me how you have it installed, such as the directory structure? Cronadmin.php is included when you install vBulletin. I'll check back later this evening for your reply.

I just removed everything and reuploaded and reinstalled it, and it is working great.

Thanks so much :D

Awesome! Glad to hear you got things working. :) :up:

hi

installed and its on the system and activated
but it dont show on the Admin Control Panel between Attachments and Users as you pic shows
Plugin is there and It's on the Scheduled Task Manager but no direct button to it
can you help

Please try uninstalling and reinstall. Please make sure that you ftp'd the files from the upload folder to your forum's root folder on your server. Once installed, refresh your admincp screen.

Jim this looks great, and I'm sure it's a wonderful execution. But, I think the idea is a bit flawed. I know that if I got an email asking me to come back, or that I haven't posted in a while, or, a message popped up that warned me that if I didn't post my forum ID would be executed (different script), I'd be a little annoyed. (I hate spam, I hate threats, and I hate begging...)

Now if the email sent some sort of an update on interesting threads that have occurred during that previous predetermined period of time that I was away, I'd find that more interesting, and I'd be more liable to return to read.

Kind of like the old community bulletin of old, but not as involved. Any chance of making an editable email, or, better yet, one that includes, for example, the most popular / recent / viewed whatever threads since the person last visited?? I think that would be really useful.

Awesome script BTW. I think with some additions, it could be a must have for everyone.

You might think so and maybe that would be true for you but I've been using this for a couple of years now through different versions. The bottom line is that it has reminded quite a few members about the forum and many have returned. That's not hypothesizing - that's data.

I also send out a newsletter (members can opt in or out of it) which highlights recent threads. That also brings back members. It goes out Tuesday night/Wednesday morning every week and through Wednesday and Thursday I get a spike in logged in members. Again, data not hypothesis.

What do you use for a newsletter? And will future versions of this allow us to edit the message?

The commercial version of Commbull (4.5f). I prefer it to 5.x and it works still on vBulletin 4.03.

Future versions of what? If you mean this add-on, you can search phrases and edit that.

Hi Doc,

Thank you for your feedback. I truely appreciate your input and I can see your point where some may feel an email like this is annoying. I'll definitely take your thoughts into consideration and will see what I can do. I can't promise when I would be able to do something like this though. I've gotten a bit behind on developing this addon due to my system being down and several other RL issues. Your suggestions may work well as a slightly different mod perhaps. We'll see. :) Thank you again!

Working like a charm. Thank you for this. It is greatly appreciated!

:)

still nothing.....

this message when run program in the Scheduled Task Manager~~~

Good works

Thank you!

Baxter, nice idea to use both of them. Now if I can only find my commbull 4.7f version...... Damn that was a while ago.
I'll install this, thanks for the input on changing the phrases to make it more web site specific.

Any progress on the 3.8.x version?

IF only more mods were like this :) Great Mod, Great Tut (More Mods should be like that)

Awesome :)

In one of your images i saw that members have the option to check wether they want to receive email inactivity reminders or not.

Especially that it's unchecked by default ruins the whole purpose of this mod. Could you have an option in the mod so that we can block users from having that option?

I want to make sure they get an email, I don't want them to be able to check an option like that.

Thanks.

Thanks for your input. I've just recently gotten my development computer back online after having a fried power supply. I've had to put this addon on the back burner for a bit. I'll be looking into this as well as several other issues, and new features going forward.

Ok thnaks, I will be waiting.

does this work with 4.04?

i think so, anyway i've a question for the developer, i've also installed the lurkers and inactive members product made by PM, and i settled by 90 days my cutoff period (after this period these users goes on that created usergroup called inactive) ... so what i need to know is this, i should set that usergroup onto your hack?

found an uncached template in the editprofile page ... need a fix :)

NOMINATED & INSTALLED!

Thanks so much for this mod. Been waiting for this! :D

Oops! ;) Thank you for pointing that out. Will get that one cached. :)

You are too kind!! :) Thank YOU! :)

It should work fine.. I don't see anything where the upgrade would cause a problem.

Hey Celtic... Any luck with this? So far it still seems to be working fine on this end and for others using the addon through 4.04 PL1. How many other addons are you using? Anything you can show? I'd be happy to help.. any additional info you can give that would help me troubleshoot the cause would be awesome. :)

Not yet unfortunately.. I've have only one dev environment and not sure how to run an older version of php/mysql to accomodate vb 3.8.x. I'll have to do some research on this so for me it may take a while. Sorry :(

Hmmm... my initial though is yes.... however, I have not tested my addon with Paul's so I really do not know what the results would be, to be honest. I'll have to look into that, but if you have something already set up in a test environment and if you don't mind running that through a test, I'd greatly appreciate it! :) If you can't, that's ok, and I appreciate the question. :)

i've already installed onto my live board, but i don't know if it runs or not, right now i haven't any log to reproduce ... maybe i need to wait your cronjob, or not?

How can I control how the transmitter?

I want to use the forum system of sending and not for transmission through the email server

Ok.. yes, you would most likely need to wait for the cronjob to run then.

I'm not sure I understand your question. Emails are either sent through the message queue or you can set vbulletin to send emails using your host's smtp server. Both are separate setup from this addon and done through the main vbulletin settings.

I can confirm that it works on vB 4.04 PL1.

Haven't noticed any "hiccups" so far :)

OK runs correctly, today i've received the mail that the product runs ... :)

In version 4.4 does not put the sender's mail, which leads to transfer to non-important e-mail automatically

This same product you have installed the version 3.8.5

Normally and sends email put the sender in the message

The settings are the same in releases

Note the difference in the two pictures, which annexes

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. I haven't released a mod for vb 3.8.5.
