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.

UPdated mine! seems to work when I run it manually

[DruidToolz]

mine works.. everyday i get an email on who has not activated there account and how many days they have left, etc.. Which is good since i don't have to run it manually

great mod thank you very much! thanks amy too!

[aciurczak]

Seems to work fine for me; great addition!

Doh! I set it up in the cron at a specified hour, but left the minutes at *. This means it sent it out every minute until I caught it and fixed it.

Also noticed in there that stock vB is sending out reminders at 1 days and 5 days already, are folks disabling that stock reminder when using this one?

Just want to check something about this mod.

If I install this and I have a member who changes their email address (we verify email addresses so their usergroup gets set to "Users Awaiting Email Confirmation" until they've "re-activated" their account) and they don't confirm their new address this won't delete their account will it?

nope this only deletes users with zero posts.
