End-User Options - [Cronjob] Email Notification When Users Hit X Amount of Posts

As its title says, this code will automatically email a user once he/she hits a certain amount of posts. It may be useful for some boards which set Registered group have limited privileges and require XX posts to view the board globally...

It's been posted here, i make a duplicate here in case of other users need it.

It's fairly easy to install, just create a cronjob and let it do the job itself. You can set the cronjob to run hourly or every three hours or whenever you like.
DON'T FORGET TO CHANGE text message in Email Body Text + Email Subject Text to fit you site settings.

Installation Time: 2-3 mins (Easy)
New File: 1
Query: 1

ALTER TABLE user ADD promoemail TINYINT(1) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL;

To change amount of posts, look for this line (in promoemail.php):

$promo_x_posts = 10;

i'm telling that it's possible to magnify the effect of this cronjob by adding a new feature...

i hope tnguy3n understand what i'm talking about and will be able to deal with it!

Does this email the user or can we configure it to email a specific email address, like admin?

if the cron job runs when the poster has 1001 posts... will the member receive an email?

@ Polo: It will.
Basically, this cronjob checks and emails users who reach >= 1000 posts (or whatever number your assigned).

This is great Can this be used for vBulletin 3.54? I want to use something like this to send an e-mail to everyone that belongs to a certain user group that I manually assign them to.

Basically, I want to send them an email welcoming them as a special member. It is very important that they only receive this welcome e-mail once.
