Find, Optionally Email and Optionally Delete Inactive Members

This hack is designed to allow you to:

a) Find users who have not logged in to your board in X days. X is configurable by you in the control panel.

b) Email the inactive users. When the email is set, the date is recorded so that you will not email them again within X days

c) Delete the inactive users. This can happen in two ways:
1) If you don't have email users set, it will simply delete users who have not logged in to your forums in the past X days.
2) If you have emails turned on, it will delete users who have not logged in during the past X days AND who were sent the warning email more than 15 days before.

The email is a template configurable by you.

Here is how this hack will behave:

If you have email on and delete off, it will email inactive users every X days.

If you have email on and delete on, it will email a warning then delete 15 days later.

If you have emails off and delete on, it will delete users who have been incactive for X days.

If you have email off and delete off, it will list the inactive users for you in a very crude plain text list.

This is not a hack for newbies. If you don't know how to run Queries, don't touch this hack. It is still In Beta. If I get bored and ambitious, I will write an install script and make it idiot-proof.

Screen Shots to Follow

I will Support this hack for users with some hacking experience. I will fix bugs. I will not teach hacking basics though.

!Important - After You Install the hack, go to your Control Panel and Set the Options! Otherwise it will NOT work.

I have it installed and working fine.

I haven't been able to figure out how to pass a username and password to the script to run it as a cron job, though.

The job runs fine but fails due to the lack of authentication.

Help?

You uploaded the file to the wrong directory. It goes in forums and not in admin.
