A friend needed a plugin that would allow them to redirect users when a time had elapsed, so that they could remind them about donations.
They had a donations page, but wanted all of their registered (non-donating) members to be redirected once a month to their donations page.
After seeing Calorie's 'Force Profile Update' plugin, I was inspired to expand on the concept.
This plugin allows you to redirect a usergroup or groups to a specific page, thread or post, after a recurring length of time you select.
Through the control panel, you can set the length of time to give them the reminder, the usergroups, the page that it redirects to, and the message.
UPDATE (1.01): You can now set the reminder to be cleared on the redirect page itself (provided its a vbulletin created page) or cleared once the reminder is viewed, so you can redirect to a non-vbulletin page. It now also checks against all possible usergroups, primary and secondary.
UPDATE (1.02): You will now be able to see stats on how many people each month have been reminded (in the control panel settings). Also, if you use a redirect URL that is non-standard to your vbulletin site (IE: Instead of using donations.php, you use: http://www.anothersite.com/donations.html) this is now possible.) Also, all primary and secondary groups will work if you add them to the list.
I'll be around to support it if you have any questions.

Unfortunately Klaush it needs to use the vbulletin pages or ones created within the vbulletin structure (such as my friends donation page), because its not until they go to that page, that the reminder time is updated.
However if you had the time and the inclination to code something yourself, I'm sure you could do the update manually on your own non-vbulletin page. It wouldn't be too hard.
hugh: correct, you could edit that phrase and change it to reflect whatever you want. Including having a separate redirect back to the home page.

Thanks. I tried this, but nothing happens. Means he is redirected to the page where he has first to click the page which is configured in the acp-settings.
So he has no choice to go to the second, the main page, that is alternately given in the phrase.
do we need to install the donate page plugin. I use a html asking members to donate. As in html page I dont think itz possible to cross - check who have donated or not :s
