Mini Mods - Email reminder for inactive users 1.1.3

Hey Guys I've been using this mod quite a while and got a bit depressed after not seeing any updates to the mod. So I figured why not making my own modifications and help the people that had requests out a bit. I'm someone that is against spam. This mod becomes fast a annoyance to users that are inactive for a long time. That's why I will be making this mod more functional than before. Look into my to do list for new additions that will come.

Updates:
1 Email Only Function:
This function will limit the total emails send to 1. So if this email is send once they will never get a "miss you" email anymore. So people will get less anoyed and won't rate you as spam right away.

Todo:
Edit number of emails send totally
Not only 1 message but multiple messages possible and chosen with a random

If a user has not posted in x number of days, a HTML email will be sent out with a custom message.

Ive updated the mod so all the settings are editable in the AdminCP

Instructions are included.

I must insist that anyone pre 1.1.2 upgrades asap.

Update 1.1.3 (22/5/08)

* Bugfix for New Registers


Update 1.1.2 (21/5/08)

* Added 1 Email only Function


Update 1.1.1

* Edited default templates
* Added daily report


Update 1.1.0

* Changed the way that emails are sent out by adding the emails to vbulletin's mail queue
* Default cron settings now changed to once per day

To upgrade you need to overwrite the remindermail.php file in the cron directory, and ideally import the product again. The new code will work with the old product file, however I have removed one of the settings in the options as it was no longer needed. as i say it will still run with this there but the quantity setting is now no longer used.

Update 1.0.9

* Cron Log Now Working.
Update by uploading remindermail.php


Update 1.0.8

* Updated code to to exclude users who have chose not to receive admin emails.
Upgrade by uploading PHP file only.

Thanks to djbaxter for help with this.


Update 1.0.7

* Fixed "Sending to new users" bug
* Amended installation code


Update 1.0.6 (14/02/07)

* Added option to turn plugin on or off
* Added option to specify inactivity triggered by lastpost or lastactivity
* Added options to show credit to author or not. (due to some ungrateful, complaining bum squirts that have not made the effort to learn to code themselves and lean on others to make plugins for them)


Uninstall / Reinstall w/ overwrite.

Please note - This plugin adds a link in your footer, however it can be disabled via the AdminCP

Please, if you find this useful, don't disable this option.

It's not a security problem.

The mod uses the vbmail function, which is a standard function built-in to VBulletin. If you specify only 3 required parameters to this function, it *should* use the Webmaster's Email that you specified in the VB options. Look at the modification I posted previously, if you make that mod, it should send it out from that email. The original code is flawed.

I have installed inactive email reminder..but its sending a email from my host email adresss..how can i changed the email adresss...

since this is re-usable code it believe the author should remove the credits from the bottom of our templates too.

the modification is not that ground breaking to be giving himself that much credit.

it puts a lot of un-needed garbage at the bottom of my boards and free links to his websites.

goign to uninstall this modification. not happy with it.

Feel better now that you've said that?

It links to the sites of the two main authors. That's hardly "a lot of un-needed garbage at the bottom of my boards and free links to his websites".

Well i get the email from sender Mail Delivery Subsystem of this means a few members email aren't valid. This is outside of this mod. But it's already getting the email back. Why doesn't this hack list the group of people with the bounced emails? They are still listed as being contacted..but in reality..their email accounts are invalid. Understand?

I tried to upgrade like the instructions say, but it didn't seem to upgrade anything. I have not seen any e-mails to my 'test' member from the first one I installed either............Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

[roflwaffle]

I would really like this but I don't know what to actually say to the user. Does anyone have any tips?
