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.

Hi there,

With the option to close the account (move the member to another usergroup) what do you do to prevent the user being able to login and / or receive emails?

At present I do this process manually. I move the user, remove the email address and change their password so that they cannot login.

Is there an easier way to do this, perhaps the settings in the usergroup?

Storm

PS How much is the unbranded version?

So a User can give a Reason.

I wrote your Request in the Self Delte Project Tools, at the Addon Coders Board.
Maybe it?s come in an future Version.

I think it's very important this add on because many people delete his profile only because doesn't know there's a Privacy Panel in UserCp or doesn't know how to use Friends&Contact functions.

If user can choose the reason i think it's possible to see a FAQ.

For Example.

"I want to delete my profile because i have privacy issue".

FAQ: Hello user. Do you know can you customize your privacy and see your profile only to your friends... Go to User Cp....

Wonderful idea!! I think this should be by default.

I wouldn't be surprised if vBulletin would make this hack part of their core system. Great hack!

Hello !

Just found and installed with fix but is there an option to move user to blocked usergroup after cool down period or should i manually do this ?

PS: Installed in vb 3.8

Hi all,

is it possible to change the Reason-Field, so that this will become a field which has to be specified on requesting the self-delete.

So that it will become a MUST-Field instead of a CAN-Field.

Thanks!

Best regards,
Bryan

If they stop the deletion should there be an option in the admin to move them back to the prior usergroup before moving to the cool down group? Right now it looks like they are stuck in the group they are moved to and have to be moved back manually? Is this correct?

Thanks!

Yes, I don't see another usefull way of doing it otherwise.
