It takes the settings from your forum options - "From: " . $vbulletin->options['bbtitle'] . " Reminder Service <" . $vbulletin->options['webmasteremail'] . ">" so if these are not set, then this may be the cause of the problem.



you can disable it in the options. thanks for your support in crediting the author.




as for the duplicate emails - i have no idea. there is only one mail command, and with that, one log command.

if it logged it, it mailed it.

the user is updated and should not be sent another email until the conditions specified in the settings are met

think of it as a simple lesson not to forget your password?

I just don't like some people's attitudes to showing credit. I gave the option to remove it because it is down to the forum owner what they have on their forum, and that's up to them, but it pisses me off when people come on here and that is there only comment - "how do i remove the credit?", not a "thank you for a good mod."

just remember, any members this mod brings back, are because of ME. that's right, ME. not any of you. so just remember that, anyone coming on this thread demanding removal, or making comments on the tag at the bottom.

99% of the people that use this give their support, and that makes me feel good.

awwwww poor baby...in that case...how about making a new footer. *created by C Braithwaite* instead of your whole website.

I really don't wanna argue about this, hence why i added the option to remove it.

Please people, don't mention the footer link again. it can be removed. End of argument.

Any word on the slight problem I posted about?

sorry - so many posts to go through, i missed your question.

have the users got enabled admin emails?

I got it working. Thanks.

Also, I checked the Schedule Tasks log and nothing has been sent out; except for the one test email I sent.

Great Mod though!!

I have installed this. Can't wait to see how it affects our visits. Thanks a mill! :)

Nice mod. And you do deserve credit for putting this one together and offering it up here. Clicks INSTALL.

BTW..is there a way to ensure that it does not send to any member more than X number of times? I can see if a member gets this reminder every 3 days or every 30 days until he makes it stop by going into the UserCP to stop admin emails it might rub some members the wrong way. WAsn't sure if this was built in somewhere yet on this or just a possible feature for future upgrade.

Again nice work :)

Yes, see above post.

This has had really good results for me, brought back a lot of members that had forgot about me, thanks

try running it a few times - the code selects from all users before it checks their usergroup - if you up the quantity to something ridiculous just to test it, im sure it will send out emails to the expected members.

sorry if this has been asked already..

"How often to send a reminder email once a member has become inactive."

is that days, weeks, months???

Days: Enter the number of days between subsequent email reminders.

If you set the email quanity to 500 and have 5000 inactive users does that mean only 10% get an email? If the frequency is set to 180 does that mean in 6 months only the original 500 will get an email and the other 4500 ignored? Or does it send to all 5000 but just 500 at a time during each cron?

ALL inactive users will get emails, sent out 500 at a time.

The frequency (180 in your example) does not refer to how often emails are sent out but rather to how long before a second or subsequent email is sent out to the same member.

has been sent out yet. I'm sure everything has been setup correctly.

Installed and working great - awesome add-on!

I know that I keep posting this everywhere, but would this work for version 3.6.5, or is it purely 3.6.4?

I've only tested it on 3.6.2 - short of trying it, i couldn't tell you.

Very nice modification - should help get the participation rate up a bit!
Thanx for sharing ---- Clicks INSTALL

Jacquii.

I've used it successfully with version 3.64 and 3.65,

i'd really like to use this mod on my live forum versus my test forum, but yet again i went in to play with it today...

not only were no emails sent out to the test account for the past week (nor were there any attempts at the log shows zilch), but when i manually ran the task it once again sent me 2 identical emails... same timestamps, same headers, same content.

i think this mod would be spectacular if it worked on my forum. i see others are having no problem so what gives? i also see from info on the email when i check via webmail, but when i download the email to my Outlook email client there's no from info and the email is displayed as plain text versus the rich text i see in my webmail client.

C Braithwaite, any support you can offer would be of huge assistance. I know you said you basically just didn't know why it was doing it but any troubleshooting guidance would be immensily helpful.

TIA.

1. check to see if you have rich text / html enabled in Outlook - it may be set to off by default, depending on your version

2. check to see if your ISP or antivirus program or antispam program is stripping anything out of your email by default

I set this up and my users are furious because most of the inactive ones keep receiving the emails, over and over. It's now turned off.

I should have known better.

Wow, I installed this and manually told it to run the scheduled task and about 70% of the emails it sent got bounced! Never realized I had so many users with email addresses that have gone bad since they registered!!!

Yes. You should have read the instructions and the other posts in this thread. And changed the options from your ACP to something more to your liking.

However, I would suggest that the defaults be changed and that the default for installation be set to inactive.

um... it's FOR inactive users - set the settings appropriately and there should be no prob.... I've actually just received an email asking simply "How do I delete my account"

My response:

I think this is a FABULOUS way of knowing who your DEDICATED Members are - and to hell with the rest - unless ---- of course ---- they're clicking on your google adsense ads LOL

Anyway - So far so good! I like this modification. AND rest assured if there's any type of "conflict" with this modification - I shall post directly, succinctly & without pondering - within this thread.

Thanx for sharing this - I like it!

Jacquii.

Just installed and have it set for no for is this product active while setting it up. But I just received an email to my test account so it seems to be live with the active setting at no.

Other than that, thanks for this!!!

Other than disabling all other products to see if there is a conflict, then im not really sure.
is your cron running properly, ie are your other tasks running and logging?

you can amend the settings, and inactive users can disable this via their usercp emaiil preferences.

it might be a good idea to include this note in the footer.

i will change the defaults to off etc for future installations

i will check this out for you - my guess is that the email was sent before you had a chance to disable it?

if you disable it, then run it manually it will tell you if it is inactive or not.

just tested it:

Did that. You should not have assumed I did not change the default settings.

Again, I did that. Screenie attached...

well you have set it to send out an email EVERY DAY what do you expect? try changing frequency to maybe 60?

how i can to change the encoding in the messege?

Find in remindermail.php:

Change:

to the desired charset.

Upload the newly edited remindermail.php to your server.

Thank you very much :)

thanx
