Running v4.0.4pl1 ...

With 12,000 members, I get a lot of these sent out and it worked fine under our old v3.6.

We recently updated to vb4 and installed this mod .. thank you. :up:

It seems to run fine and send emails, create logs and email me the log daily.

However, I've NEVER had it fill in anywhere an invalid email address on the Admin emails I receive, plus it always says YES on the on-line AdminCP logs, even when a users email "bounces" back to us.

Am I missing something?

Sure would be nice to update to v4 and include the old EZBOUNCE mod within this one.

Thanks for any advice .. :)

I'm working on adding similar functionality that was in EZBounce.

Thank you ... :)

That would be terrific ...

I installed this and have had several emails go out to members, when they login in again it doesn't move them from the inactive group back to the registered group as there is no option in this mod for that, has this been missed out or I am dreaming. I know it would be good if that could be incorporated into this to move them back to the registered group. Well in my case it would be.

Fund a solution, Inactive and Lurkers plugin so that should resolve that issue thanks for doing the mod.

You're welcome. :) I found that plugin also and am planning to incorporate similar functionality into future versions. Unfortunately life on my end has been nuts with trying to find employment among other things so I haven't had much time for working on this mod. The good news is that I do see a light at the end of the tunnel and it's not an on-coming train. lol :up:

Thanks would be good to have just the one plugin do the lot, having others, brings in to play things not working properly and interfering with each other as well.

I noticed that there is a separate download for the German version. Will this overwrite the English one? Is there a way to send it out in German if the users default is German and English if theirs is English? Thanks!

The German version is the same as the English version. If you install it with the overwrite option you should be ok. If German is what you need you would have to download and install that version. There is now way that I know of to automate that process.

I agree! That would be most helpful!

Chinese installation

Tested on vbulletin suite 4.0.4

Great! Thanks. Just installed on this Programming forum

What a great mod. This will help my site alot

Hello, I downloaded and installed, but now I do not know how to modify the text that is sent to the user, I want to translate it into Spanish.

Help please.

Greetings.

Any news about a version for vB 3.8.x? :)

A heads up ... :)

I've been using this add-on for a few years, right through from v3 and it's great. Thanks for bringing it forward to v4 of vBulletin.

I've encountered my first SQL error with it... I've substituted X's for security...

I believe the problem is the apostrophe in the user name. I re-ran the cron job after changing the user name, simply eliminating the ' before the S and the cron job ran fine, although I'm not sure it actually processed this record a second time.

Am I correct in my assumptions? Why would vBulletin accept registration from a user with an apostrophe then this mod fail on the SQL insert?

Thanks for any feedback... :)

Badger

does this work?

No. Not at all. People just download it and install it and then it sits there doing nothing. It's a placebo. :rolleyes:

AWESOME! NOW SCRAM!

worked for me, check you scheduled tasks and see when it is going to run.

Works really well, but it crashes on usernames who have an apostrophe in them ... ;)

Other than that, I've been using it for years and it's really helpful ... :)

thanks!

Hi guys! Sorry I haven't updated this in a while. Life has not been very forgiving since the last release February 2010. My computer had a melt down and I just recently found a job full time last month. I've even had to take my own site (TalkVirginia) down temporarily. I am planning another release but I still have a few things on the priority list that I need to clear first. Thank you all for your patience and for enjoying this addon.

~ Jim

It's still doing that? :confused: Ok, I'll have another look at that. Is there anyway you can PM me some examples of what it's crashing on?

Thanks

Yes, you are correct in your assumptions.. I did suggest a manual fix for this though. Below is the link for it:

Sorry it took so long for me to get back to you.

Thank you for asking about this Badger,
~Jim

No problem Jim ... :)

Thanks for following up back here and I do understand how real life gets in the way of our hobbies ... :D

This mod is probably the most valuable of any we use. It continually reinforces with our members that we're still here and we also use it as a tool update them on new additions to the board that might find of interest.

Thanks for keeping it alive and relevant through multiple iterations of vBulletin. :up:

The single most useful enhancement we could have to it (in my opinion) would be the automatic handling of bounced emails, that we now handle manually through this separate add-on mod in conjunction with yours.

Even though it's for v3, it still functions fine in v4.04 and it would be great if that author would give you permission to incorporate his code into yours here, as it would save us hours in manually dealing with bounced inactive email accounts.

Thanks again .. :)

Can anyone confirm this works ok on 3.8.6 ? :)

Sorry, not at the moment, but I have been looking into making it work with that version.

Thanks. :)

Question 1;

Usergroups
Which usergroups do you want to monitor for inactivity?

Excluded User IDs
List the userids that you do not wish to send reminder email to here.

Must Excluded User IDs be part of Usergroups ?

Question 2;

Inactivity Emails: Receive Inactivity Reminder Email from Administrators

Members will receive an email if they have been inactive for more than 7 days. If you do not wish to receive these emails, you may optout by unchecking this option.

How do I change 7 days to 30 days ?
How do I remove this option ?

Installed.

Still flaky.

For example, the Unsubscribe feature appears to be non-functional.

For example, I got this letter today from one of our forum members:

That member isn't the only one. When will there be a fix?

Peace,
Gene

Perfect

Installed and MOTM

thanks

----- EDIT -----

I wont be using this if the above post is true

Can-Spam act and inbox deliverability go hand in hand, They are both my friend

Tagged. As soon as that feature where it can detect bounces, flag the user & send a PM is ready, will install & PayPal a much deserved contribution :) (seriously, that final feature would be absolutely killer for those of us with larger forums.)

hi i uploaded the files in the upload folder into the root. But when i hjave to import the xml file there are 2 of them! they are:

bitfield_remindermail.xml and cpnav_remindermail.xml

Do you mean that we have to upload the other file that isn't in the upload folder and import that file, which is called:

product-remindermail.xml

bit unsure what to do here :S sorry bit of a novice!

ok sorry for being stupid done it now :D

it have problem with special character like
~ ' ".......

Does it work on 4.08?

Installed > Does Great > Rated Excellent > Nominated for MOTM

Thanks,,
