Profile Enhancements - vBulletin Self Delete - Allow users to self-delete their profile

What is vBulletin-Self Delete:

This addon allows your users to self delete their profile in your forum. While the process for this goes on, you can use additional settings like cool down time, conformation code, move to another usergroup instead of 'hard deleting' and much more.

The users are (depends on your settings) getting deleted right away or while a hourly cronjob is running in the background.

Installation:

Upload all files you can find in the 'upload' folder to your server and import the product file in admincp. Then you check the usergroup permissions and the settings under admincp -> 'Settings' -> 'Options' -> 'User Profile: Self Delete'

If you habe TMS installed in your forum, you are down with the installation. If you dont use TMS, then you have to change the 'navbar' template manually. For manual changed open the template 'navbar' and search for:

PHP Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['notices'] AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'register'"> 


About that code, enter this code:

PHP Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['selfdeleteinfo']">
    <form action="vbselfdelete" method="post" id="notices" class="notices">
        <ol>
            <li class="restore" id="navbar_notice_1">
                {vb:rawphrase vbselfdelete_remember_to_stop_deletion, {vb:raw show.selfdeleteremain}}
            </li>
        </ol>
    </form>
</vb:if> 


That's it.

Let me know if you try

I'll give it a try later and let you know. I'm off for work now.

It is possible to move delete users in a user group called "Deleted Users" and make a condition in member profile that the user profile is not viewable?

I am so thankful someone asked that question. This is something to look forward to if the author adds that feature.

I just uploaded Version 1.0.1.

The new version has the option to also move the user into another usergroup instead of processing a hard delete.

[Robru]

Thanks for your update

[Alex@bulletin]

i also find it better to move deleted users to an own group instead of setting the posts to "guest" this could be create confusion

[Vossi]

Now everybody can do like he wants to, either delete the users or move them into another usergroup.

[Alex@bulletin]

i know i just wanted to express my pleasure to this new feature

On line 54 of the XML file

PHP Code:

) TYPE=MyISAM"); 


Anyone with a newer php / mysql will require to edit this so it will read

PHP Code:

) ENGINE=MyISAM"); 


I have attached a pre-edited copy for those of you who may dislike having to edit files yourself.

How will you know if you need this?

If you attempt to import the current one and receive an error... Try this one.
