Timed Redirect - Donations Page Reminder

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.

Cool mod, thanks for sharing. I wonder though how this works with several usergroups people can be in. For example, I need the script running so only registered users are affected. People who donated on our site are put in a special secondary usergroup using a different color so people can see who donated as a reward. How is the script working...are people getting the reminder message if they are ONLY in the group you determine in the option "Usergroups to Redirect" - and they don't get the reminder as soon as they are in another usergroup or will they get it any time as soon as they are in the registered users group as first or secondary usergroup AND other usergroups?

If this is the case, how about an exclusion of a group that never gets the reminder?

I am still using this mod with 3.6.3 without problems, is there a reason for changing to the new mod?

This will work with the 3.6.7PL??
