Simple Promotion / Demotion System

Please, excuse my poor English.
This hack adds a simple system to promote and demote users to certain primary usergroups according to joindate and number of post in a number of days. The posts in the most recent days can be ignored. This is, the posts of today will not be count until have past a number of days.

Installation:
1) Backup your database. If something goes wrong is your problem.
2) Install the product xml.
3) Configure the settings in ACP.
4) Upload the two php files to the folder "cron" of your board.
5) Add a scheduled task for each php.

Note: If you like, change the vbphrases in the product for a better English.

I can´t support this hack, if you can improve it, great.

Versions:
1.00: Initial release.
1.01: Added some options more: Last visit, last post and minimal posts.

man ig ive up this whole thing is loosing me

I'm trying to understand this a bit better.

On the standard system I have a promotion where all users with more than 15 posts ger promoted to a special group.

What I want is to be able to demote members who later on stop posting. IE move them back to the 'registered users' group when they become inactive.

Surely this will put them into a continuous loop ... being demoted for non-activity and then promoted again for having the correct postcount?

Or am I missing something?

[MissKalunji]

thats exacly what im trying to do :-/

Well I'm not going to install it until I'm clearer on what this does.

I'm wondering if I could demote members to a new group for lazy users ... but would they get moved back if they decide to start posting again?

If you use the same usergroups in normal promotion and simple promotion, the continuous loop can occurr. My lazy usergroup cannot upgrade to active usergroup with normal promotion, only with simple promotion.

So a member gets out of the lazy usergroup as soon as they start posting again?

If you set latency time > 0, nope. Example, if you set to 3, three days must pass before the user upgrade if he has enought posts. Perhaps in three days he has not enought posts ...

According to your settings, this one can be a very dinamical product :banana:

Btw, I don?t suport this product and you dont click install, what am i doing here?

Regards

[moonclamp]

Installed now

On running the cronjob

MySQL Error : Unknown table 'user' in field list

is it taking table prefixes into account?
