Automatically change usergroup after certain amount of time

I would like there to be a way for members' usergroups to automatically change to a different one after a certain amount of time since their last post.

This seems like it would be fairly simple to do, but I have no idea.
Or is there a way to do this already?

do you want to change at the moment they revisited the board or even if they dont revisit? If latter, it will require a cron script.

could be done with vb3 very simply as its a built in feature

I'd prefer it to change even if they don't revisit. But either way would be fine with me. It beats having to do it manually, that's for sure.

let us know:
a) Usergroups the hack will apply
b) New Usergroup hack will put users in
c) Time hack will check

Ok...usergroups 9 and 11 would change to usergroup 2 at 30 days since last post. And I guess it would check this once per day, midnight I guess, though that part doesn't matter much.

Thanks!!!

Create a "anynameyouwant.php" file in your forum directory and put this code inside that file:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

   set_time_limit(900); 

   require('./global.php');



   $userArray=$DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM user WHERE (usergroupid=9 OR usergroupid=11) AND posts>0");



   while ($user=$DB_site->fetch_array($userArray)) 

       {

       $days = mktime (date("H"), date("i"), date("s"), date("m"), date("d")-30, date("Y"));

    

       $lastpost=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT dateline FROM post WHERE visible=1 AND userid='$user[userid]' ORDER BY dateline DESC LIMIT 1");

         if ($lastpost[dateline]>0 AND $lastpost[dateline]>$days)

           {

           $DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET usergroupid=2 WHERE userid='$user[userid]'");

           }



       }

?>

Now configure your CRON job to run this file once everyday at any time you like.

Please test this script in a test board first! I dont expect a problem but I don't like giving away scripts like this as they make changes in DB so a bug can create serious problems. I didnt test the script myself.

Question Logician, what exactly does set_time_limit( ) function do? I appreciate any assistance.

Ok, I tried it and it changes everyone in usergroups 9 & 11, regardless of the time since their last post, to usergroup 2. Any ideas?

All times are GMT. The time now is 12:37 AM.
