Mini Mods - Email reminder for inactive users 1.1.3

Hey Guys I've been using this mod quite a while and got a bit depressed after not seeing any updates to the mod. So I figured why not making my own modifications and help the people that had requests out a bit. I'm someone that is against spam. This mod becomes fast a annoyance to users that are inactive for a long time. That's why I will be making this mod more functional than before. Look into my to do list for new additions that will come.

Updates:
1 Email Only Function:
This function will limit the total emails send to 1. So if this email is send once they will never get a "miss you" email anymore. So people will get less anoyed and won't rate you as spam right away.

Todo:
Edit number of emails send totally
Not only 1 message but multiple messages possible and chosen with a random

If a user has not posted in x number of days, a HTML email will be sent out with a custom message.

Ive updated the mod so all the settings are editable in the AdminCP

Instructions are included.

I must insist that anyone pre 1.1.2 upgrades asap.

Update 1.1.3 (22/5/08)

* Bugfix for New Registers


Update 1.1.2 (21/5/08)

* Added 1 Email only Function


Update 1.1.1

* Edited default templates
* Added daily report


Update 1.1.0

* Changed the way that emails are sent out by adding the emails to vbulletin's mail queue
* Default cron settings now changed to once per day

To upgrade you need to overwrite the remindermail.php file in the cron directory, and ideally import the product again. The new code will work with the old product file, however I have removed one of the settings in the options as it was no longer needed. as i say it will still run with this there but the quantity setting is now no longer used.

Update 1.0.9

* Cron Log Now Working.
Update by uploading remindermail.php


Update 1.0.8

* Updated code to to exclude users who have chose not to receive admin emails.
Upgrade by uploading PHP file only.

Thanks to djbaxter for help with this.


Update 1.0.7

* Fixed "Sending to new users" bug
* Amended installation code


Update 1.0.6 (14/02/07)

* Added option to turn plugin on or off
* Added option to specify inactivity triggered by lastpost or lastactivity
* Added options to show credit to author or not. (due to some ungrateful, complaining bum squirts that have not made the effort to learn to code themselves and lean on others to make plugins for them)


Uninstall / Reinstall w/ overwrite.

Please note - This plugin adds a link in your footer, however it can be disabled via the AdminCP

Please, if you find this useful, don't disable this option.

It's great that you've taken this project on!

One very important request:

Could you add an option to exclude members who have deselected the "Receive Email from Administrators" option?

This will result in far fewer complaints, etc.

Thanks

Dont mean to sound ungrateful, but is there anyway I can remove the text

Inactive Reminders By Mished.co.uk and FTP-Anime.com

I dont mind advertising hacks, but with it being such a small hack I would prefer not to do so

[GPTB]

Editted out - sorry

I think that's an option in the settings through the AdminCP.

Request: Could some people post some of the messages they made to send to the users? I need some messages for the message rotation script

Any updates on this bug test? I still can't get this working properly and I really want to use it

Thanks.

[robertjandreu]

I tested it on my forum and didn't have any problems. I'm sorry but it needs a full rewrite of the code so I can't help you at this time.

[GPTB]

Robert - do you think that you're able to add the feature I requested into the mod?

Why do you need to re-write it?

[robertjandreu]

The code it old and some installs have problems with it. Also epanding it is really hard so a complete rewrite would be good.

@GPTB: I will implement it ASAP
