Miscellaneous Hacks - Cyb - Attention Zero-Posters

Info:
This will by default remind zero-posters (x days after registration) to start posting soon, but hack is flexible and you can use it for some other important alerting of inactive members. Required post count is also changeable.

See screenshots to understand this all better.


Installation:
1. Import XML file (as product): AdminCP > Plugin System > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]
2. OPTIONAL (for very customized styles): If message don't appear then add "$cyb_att_zeroposters" to the very end in "navbar" template.


To set options:
Go to: AdminCP > vBulletin Options > Cyb - Attention Zero-Posters

I think that this Mod should be converted to Vb4 .

It was a very popular Mod

sure it will be the same on VB4

[Peter_AUS]

The mod needs to notify the inactive users by email, having a notice really doesn't work if they don't login does it. I agree the same can be done with the Notice system in vBulletin I use it that way already myself. But I have people that are inactive, 0 posts haven't returned from registration, don't know if they are having problems logging in, not really interested or bogus registration to begin with. Inactive members are moved to a new usergroup and would like somehow to activate a cron job email out to find out who is having problems, who no longer want to be members, and bounced emails back. Otherwise have to do it manually through AdminCP email users system, which defeats the purpose of automation which should be an essential part of vBulletin anyway, hence the cron job system they have in place for other things.
