Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Inactive User Demotion

THIS ADD-ON IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AND IS NOT SUPPORTED

This is an add-on that was designed with vBulletin 4.2.0. It may not work on earlier versions of vBulletin, but it should with any vB 4.x versions.

Demotes users based on an inactivity time you set.

This was created because it is impossible to automatically demote users using the vBulletin promotion system without editing the main vBulletin code. This issue has been reported here: http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-12929


Features:

• Change primary usergroup
• Add/Remove/Replace additional usergroups
• Changes the display usergroup if needed
• Exclude usergroups from inactivity demotion
• Uses vBulletin scheduled tasks

* INSTALLATION *
-----------------------
1) Upload the contents of the 'upload' folder to your forum's root.
(If your forum's location is http://www.example.com/forums/, the root is /forums/)

2) Import the product XML file (product-userdemote.xml) into the Product Manager in AdminCP.

3) Go to ACP->Settings->Options->Inactive User Demotions Settings. Turn on the system and set the options as needed.

It does demote inactive users. That's the whole point of the mod. Personally I use it to move 'Users Awaiting Email Confirmation' to a limited access usergroup if they don't confirm their email address within 15 days of registration. And it has worked perfectly since I wrote the mod.

What version of vB are you running?

Did you select the proper demotion type (primary or additional)?

Did you let it run for at least 1 hour? Demotions are done by scheduled task and if you don't have enough visits to your site, it could take longer.

4.2 CMS, and Yes I did It does nothing for me so far, its been in for a few days, I set it to primary and a few days I checked and tried the other, nothing.

[Recon0303]

I have a very active site, so it shouldn't be that.

Are you sure you have users that are inactive for the number of days set?

Did you upload the files that are included with the mod to your server?

Have you tried running the task manually to see if any errors come up?

Beyond that, I'd have to have access to your ACP and FTP to check what's going on. If you want me to look at it, send the the info needed by PM.
