Like others before me, I've been using this mod quite a while on previous versions of vBulletin. Since updates and support for older versions had stopped, I figured I would make my own modifications and help others that have enjoyed it as well. I want to add back in some of the previous functionality that has been left out as well as add some new functionality. This mod for the most part picks up where the 3.7.x version leaves off.

What does it do?
=====================================
This mod will send out reminder emails to inactive members to encourage them to come back to your site. This is now only based on member's last activity date.

*** See Updates section below for new feature list per release. ***

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR PROBLEMS WITH THE ADDON, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO CLICK THE INSTALLED LINK AND DON'T FORGET TO NOMINATE MOTM!!
THANK YOU!!

Features
The following features are updatable through the AdminCP.
=====================================
* Turn Product on/off.

* Set the number of days a user can be inactive (grace period) before email is sent.
Example: Inactivity Graceperiod is set for 60 days. On day 61, member Bob will begin receiving reminder emails.

* Send Email Once.
If this is set, when members become inactive they will receive one reminder only.

* Set how often an reminder email is sent after an inactive member has received their first reminder.
Example: Inactivity Grace period is set for 60 days, and Reminder Email frequency is set for 30 days. On day 61, member Bob will receive his first reminder email letting him know he has been inactive for over 60 days asking him to come back to see your new content. If Bob, continues to be inactive, Bob will receive reminder emails based on the number of days you have the email frequency set to. If set to 30 days, members will receive reminders every 30 days after their first reminder.

* Set reminder email format - TEXT or HTML.

* Set the reminder email subject. (phrased)

* Set the reminder email body. (phrased)

* Set the usergroups to be sent a reminder email.

* Set Userids to exclude.

* Edit number of emails send totally (Max Reminders)
Example: If the Send Once option is set to false, and this option is set to 50. Inactive members will only receive 50 reminders.

* Keep a log of all inactive users contacted

* Opt-Out Feature for members - Include an opt-out link in reminder email. (Thanks to Gene Steinberg)

Install Instructions
--------------------------
1. Upload file in the upload folder to the forums folder on your server.

2. In your AdminCP:
a. Go to Plugs & Products -> Product Manager -> Add New Product.
c. Import the product xml from the zip file. (make sure to use overwrite)
3. The mod is disabled by default on install so you will need to enable it. Go to Vbulletin "Settings" -> Options -> Inactivity Reminder Emails.

4. Settings and the inactivity log viewer are also available on the left menu just above the users settings group.

5 Mark as Installed

6 Please Nominate for MOTM

Yes. you should download the zip. It has all the updated files. If you have made any changes to the email templates(phrases) you should back them up before updating otherwise dropping the files in place should be fine.

Jim,

Installed your hack via vBulletin V3.8.4 PL2. The hack itself is actually located under my vB Options. I put something together (in terms of a message for the inactive members) and saved it. Is that it? Do I have to do anything else?

Something else that I noticed is that there is no new, drop-down menu for the reports which are mentioned in your attachment materials.

Not sure where I'm supposed to get the activity/inactivity reports?

Please help.

Bob

It should work fine for v3.8.4. I've tested it on 3.8.6. Settings screen does appear under Vb Options, however make sure you upload the cpnav_remindermail.xml file to your xml folder under your forum's include folder. (example: <forumroot>\includes\xml ), then refresh your admincp page and it will be right above the users menu on the left as shown in the attachment below. The only feature in the way of reports this mod has is an Inactivity log viewer.

One thing I strongly recommend is that if you have had a previous version of this addon installed (that was written by someone else). You must uninstall it, remove any files that came with the previous addon, then reinstall this addon. If you don't, there is a great chance that any files left from the previous addon will conflict and this addon will not work correctly.

You can find the email templates by going to the addon settings. There is a link there to modify the subject and the email body. Your forum must be in DEBUG mode in order to modify the base version. You can only translate them when in non-debug mode.

Let me know if you have more questions,

Jim
