Mini Mods - Email reminder for inactive users 1.1.3

Hey Guys I've been using this mod quite a while and got a bit depressed after not seeing any updates to the mod. So I figured why not making my own modifications and help the people that had requests out a bit. I'm someone that is against spam. This mod becomes fast a annoyance to users that are inactive for a long time. That's why I will be making this mod more functional than before. Look into my to do list for new additions that will come.

Updates:
1 Email Only Function:
This function will limit the total emails send to 1. So if this email is send once they will never get a "miss you" email anymore. So people will get less anoyed and won't rate you as spam right away.

Todo:
Edit number of emails send totally
Not only 1 message but multiple messages possible and chosen with a random

If a user has not posted in x number of days, a HTML email will be sent out with a custom message.

Ive updated the mod so all the settings are editable in the AdminCP

Instructions are included.

I must insist that anyone pre 1.1.2 upgrades asap.

Update 1.1.3 (22/5/08)

* Bugfix for New Registers


Update 1.1.2 (21/5/08)

* Added 1 Email only Function


Update 1.1.1

* Edited default templates
* Added daily report


Update 1.1.0

* Changed the way that emails are sent out by adding the emails to vbulletin's mail queue
* Default cron settings now changed to once per day

To upgrade you need to overwrite the remindermail.php file in the cron directory, and ideally import the product again. The new code will work with the old product file, however I have removed one of the settings in the options as it was no longer needed. as i say it will still run with this there but the quantity setting is now no longer used.

Update 1.0.9

* Cron Log Now Working.
Update by uploading remindermail.php


Update 1.0.8

* Updated code to to exclude users who have chose not to receive admin emails.
Upgrade by uploading PHP file only.

Thanks to djbaxter for help with this.


Update 1.0.7

* Fixed "Sending to new users" bug
* Amended installation code


Update 1.0.6 (14/02/07)

* Added option to turn plugin on or off
* Added option to specify inactivity triggered by lastpost or lastactivity
* Added options to show credit to author or not. (due to some ungrateful, complaining bum squirts that have not made the effort to learn to code themselves and lean on others to make plugins for them)


Uninstall / Reinstall w/ overwrite.

Please note - This plugin adds a link in your footer, however it can be disabled via the AdminCP

Please, if you find this useful, don't disable this option.

I have installed and it works fine so far.

the annoying part: I know get a daily email

This email shows that the product is installed and working as it should be.

can this be switched off? Or changed to only email me when something goes wrong?

Thanks it works fine on my vB 3.7.3 + vBSEO 3.2

Is it possible to force the "From" address used in the inactive user e-mails reminders?

It does not work correctly on my server, and for two different sites, it tried to create 2 From:'s

One of them is correct, and the other is my forum name@ nothing which looks incredibly spammy and gets rejected by many mail servers.

I like the script, but it caused a cpu load of 50+ when running the cron job for the first time, perhaps because there were quite a lot of users to email to:

Found 29631 Inactive Users.

A function to send emails step by step - if there are lots - would be good.

For some reason it sends out a inactive email to newly registered members.

[Keyser S?ze]

seems like its either sending it out twice a night, or its just telling me it sent it out *telling me more than once)

sometimes ill even get 3 email notifications, the emails are all identical in content

also check this out

Hi robertjandreu ,

I've tested the hacked manually on the Scheduled Task Manager and checked the email, it sends out the email to the recepient. But on the AdminCP panel at the Task manager it is showing this message in regards to the remindermail.php file line 44 and others...

How do I correct this?

Inactive User Reminder Emails

Sorry to tell you all but I dropped support on this mod.

its outdated and vbulletin changed to much.

I'm working on a totally rewritten but I don't have a lot of programming time on hands so it doesn't go fast.

sorry for the inconvenience
