End-User Options - Self Delete: Allow users to self-delete their account

Self Delete: Allow users to self-delete their account

What is it? This modification allows users to self-delete their account if they have permission. This modification is a port to vB 3.6.8 from a port to vB 3.5.3 of AlphaWolf's 'Self Delete' modification for vB 3.0.3.

New Features: This latest port comes with the following new features:

• Can permit or deny self deletion usage by usergroup
• Can force cool off time period before deletion occurs
• Can send confirmation code to user via PM and/or email
• Can receive reason for deletion via email if provided
• Can send email to user confirming deletion by usergroup
• User can stop deletion if user is in cool off time period

Requirements: vB 3.6.6+ as template hooks are used (only tested on vB 3.6.8)

Does it work on vB 3.5 and vB 3.6? See the requirements.

AngelBlue adds an option: If you wish to place members into a special usergroup instead of removing them, see this post.

Port Information: Ported to vB 3.6.8 with permission via AlphaWolf's post:

Question.. how in the heck do I "revert" my templates to make this work. I chose my current template in Style Manager and chose to revert all templates. It totally changed my template, took my logo away and everything was just so unrecognizable. Which templates should I revert, how do I get there and how do I go about doing it? I'm totally new to vBulletin. I've always messed with phpBB.

My users like being able to delete their accounts.
But, they often regret doing so afterwards, and wish it could be undone.
Hell, sometimes spammers/trolls try to use the delete my account feature to cover their tracks!
I've also had cases where I wanted to identify if a previously self-deleted user has returned or not.

So, I did a bit of modding, and came up with this modification to your product.

Essentially, rather than really removing deleted users from the database, it just puts them into a special usergroup which makes them look like they're deleted, when they really aren't.
They don't show in :
* postbits (with the included template edit which hides their username from non-admins)
* member list (due to group settings)
* profiles (due to their profile giving a 'deleted' error when viewed by non-admins)

To use my modified version instead :

• Install my Fake Account Deletion mod.
• Replace the self_delete_profile.php file in this hack with the slightly modified one attached to this post.

Note that this extension to calorie's mod is not officially supported, but if you encounter problems with it, please IM me with the details.

When your Link inside the UserCP isn't showing up, your Template isn't corrected edited. Here's the way...

Template USERCP_SHELL => Search / Insert

<tr>
  <td class="$navclass[attachments]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editattachments">$vbphrase[attachments]</a></td>
</tr>

<!-- Self Delete Account -->
<tr>
  <td class="$navclass[sd_kill]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=delacc">$vbphrase[sd_delacc]</a></td>
</tr>
<!-- / Self Delete Account -->

In case of using TMS...

<templateedits> <!-- TMS Replacements --> 	
  <templateedit template="USERCP_SHELL" varname="sd_link_usercp" username="MikeD" version="3.6.8" searchorder="5">
  <title>UserCP Link Einf?gen</title>
  <searchstr><![CDATA[<tr>
  <td class="$navclass[attachments]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editattachments">$vbphrase[attachments]</a></td>
</tr>]]></searchstr>
	
  <replacestr><![CDATA[<tr>
  <td class="$navclass[attachments]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editattachments">$vbphrase[attachments]</a></td>
  </tr>
<!-- Self Delete Account -->
  <tr>
  <td class="$navclass[sd_kill]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=delacc"><Font Color="Red">$vbphrase[sd_delacc]</Font></a></td>
  </tr>
<!-- / Self Delete Account -->]]></replacestr>
  </templateedit>
</templateedits> <!-- / TMS Replacements -->

works, apart from one last email i believe from this hack, i receive an admin email saying a member is marked for deletion, then an hour or so later i get a blank email...this hack?

[Pamela]

Will a fresh install of this for 3.7.0 (Beta 5) work...or does this need to be rewritten for 3.7?

Thanks!
