Un-Activated User Management 3

2. Emails users after 5 days and lets them know their account will be deleted if they do not activate.

3. Emails users after 8 days with a final warning.

4. Deletes un-activated members after 10 days.

it still does exactly the same but this time for vb3

oh yeah, it emails you to tell you who was deleted, emailed so you're always informed.

if you got a big board you can't live without this, it stops the crap from piling up.

anything messes up, i can't take responsibility i'm afraid so back up before you try it.


and now like the days of our youth where everything was free and our mum would have dinner on the table for us, you're done.


[high]this was a fantastic vb2 hack and was made with blood, sweat and tears by Amy, she deserves all the credit for doing a fantastic job and then giving me permission to release this, so please if you install this should your gratitude in her direction as without her it would've been impossible.[/high]


v2.x Contributors Include: Boofo, psico, sv1cec and jlurken
v3.x Contributors Include: Paul M

UPDATED: now 3.6 compliant, though needs to be tested quickly to confirm this, it'll either work or it won't but it won't cause your system any problems. BUT IT DEFINATELY WORKS PROBLEM FREE ON ALL 3.5.X INSTALLATIONS. Also note new option for turning on the adminemail in the admincp vboptions bit.

Wow ! that's what I call fast response - thanks dude !

[dtdesign]

Actually odd question my daily cron job points to ./includes/cron/activate.php should it not point to ./includes/cron/manageActivation.php ?

[sabret00the]

it should indeed. you only need either one or the other, either vBulletin's default cron reminder "activate.php" or this one "manageActivation.php".

Sweet ! And back working as per usual - thanks for a great hack !

Just wondering if this is possible in this aleady, if not maybe a simple request for someone to help me with.

I would like to only delete the account if they have not visitied the site in 100 days, and have not activated their account and they have 0 posts.

the reason why this is, some of my active members have not activated their accounts, but because they became premium members, they didnt have too, because they ended up having permission to post and all the rest.

I have had members not come to the site for several months, and then start posting again, thus why I only want to delete people with 0 post count as well.

so if this is possible I would love it as I would change it to email them 3 days, 1 month, 2 month, 3 month, 4th month delete if those conditions applied, or something like that.

Thanks.

Can you please provide a screen shot of what the scheduled task settings would look like to have this setup to run once a day? Many thanks

I find it annoying to receive an email each day, even if nobody was even deleted, so I removed the email notification. I hope it still works.

Would it be just this part I remove?

PHP Code:

vbmail("" . $vbulletin->options['webmasteremail'] . "","Activation Reminder Report (Activation Notification)", $logmessage, "From: \"" . $vbulletin->options['bbtitle'] . " Mailer\" <" . $vbulletin->options['webmasteremail'] . ">");
} 


Here, I think, is the file with no daily email update. Someone correct me if it's wrong.

Some of my user still are having problem getting the activation reminder links to work.

Often they get the following message

"Invalid User specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator "

Can anyone shed some light on how this might occur?

Maybe they can have an option to turn this on or off? Or to select a specific email to send it two rather than admin for archival purposes? I find it very useful just to know that it is working consistently. Also to see the group in the 3 day reminder shrink by the deleted day list of people.
