Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Un-Activated User Management 3.1

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. If you install this you should show your gratitude in her direction as without her it wouldn't have been possible.


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.

Features:
1. Emails users after 3 days and reminds them to activate their accounts.

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.


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.

i like this Mod, because it helps manage the unactivated users.

The days are calculated as float, so you will not get the exact days after registering, that causes the "bug" posts before...

I modified the php sources to calculate the days other way - and the mod now is working very well also on 3.8.2

My hack lookes like this:

PHP Code:

    $tag=date('Ymd',$user[joindate]);
    $heute=date("Ymd");
    
    $j=(int)substr($tag,0,4);
    $m=(int)substr($tag,4,2);
    $t=(int)substr($tag,6,2);

    $datum3=date('Ymd',mktime(0,0,0,$m,$t+3,$j));
    $datum5=date('Ymd',mktime(0,0,0,$m,$t+5,$j));
    $datum8=date('Ymd',mktime(0,0,0,$m,$t+8,$j));
    $datum10=date('Ymd',mktime(0,0,0,$m,$t+10,$j));
...
    if ($heute == $datum3) // Email users who have not activated after 3 days.
...

Is it possible to change the number of days to extend the period (ie. 3, 7, 14, 30)?

sure:

PHP Code:

    $datum3=date('Ymd',mktime(0,0,0,$m,$t+3,$j));
    $datum5=date('Ymd',mktime(0,0,0,$m,$t+7,$j));
    $datum8=date('Ymd',mktime(0,0,0,$m,$t+14,$j));
    $datum10=date('Ymd',mktime(0,0,0,$m,$t+30,$j));

Judging by the previous posts on this page, yes but with a nasty bug that emails everyday regardless of the settings.

I was wondering this too. It seems like a handy mod that I'd like to use, but dont want to just try it in VB4 until someone else has.

[skariko]

Me too.
I am terrified to have all the user deleted or something similar.

[greenchicken]

wonder if this will be available for vb4?

This is a great tool
