Move inactive users to separate usergroup · **Released**: 09-08-2007

This modification is no longer available or supported.

This is another simple modification written ages ago for my forum, I saw a request for something similar the other day so here is what I use.

If a member has not visited the forum for a defined number of days (180 by default) then they will be moved from their existing usergroup to another usergroup (this can be any existing usergroup, however, you should really create a new 'Inactive users' group - esp if you use the auto-restore option).

Only members of a defined list of usergroups are checked for inactivity.

If a member of the inactive usergroup returns to the forum, and auto-restore is enabled, they are automatically restored to another defined usergroup (by default this is usergroup 2, Registered Users).

Note: The move of inactive users is done as part of the hourly update cron job.

History:

v1.01 : First Release for vB 3.6.
v1.02 : Automatic restore made optional.

I don't understand why I'd move a user from inactive to registered after 180 days of inactivity (he/she just reregister if they want to come back), anyway if you remove the automatic restore or at least gve us the option to set it to our linkings I will give it a shot.

I can't see any benefit of this either, perhaps if there is, someone can enlighten me.

Nice idea Paul

Thanks for this. An extension of it would be a way for it to work with the "Send an email to inactive user" Mod. If an email is sent out and the system does not log a response (by the user logging in after a set number of days), then he would be moved into the Inactive usergroup - a group one can weed out occasionally. I would rather delete on inactivate a user after he has been contacted to get his account active or lose it.

Thanks Paul M.

We use it simply to seperate out inactive users for things like e-mails.

This is provided 'as is' for anyone who happens to want to use it, I don't plan to change it.

If you don't want the automatic restore then just disable the "Inactive Users (2)" plugin.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
