Inactive Users Email Reminders For 3.7.x
Developer Last Online: Dec 2012
Inactive reminder emails. This mod was designed to send out a reminder to inactive members to try and win them back. Earlier versions of this plugin have had great success, and has been installed on 1000's of forums.
This mod is a revised version of my 3.6 modification. Someone pointed out that I needed to make a new thread in the right forum for this. ***1.2.7 Update*** Fixed the \ in the message. Changed the way the mails are processed to try and stop duplicates Made the bounce management monitor ALL outgoing emails Added more stats Added bounced email messaage viewing with management options. ***1.2.7 Update*** This update includes built in support for bouncing emails. The script will automatically detect the bounced mail, mark it as bounced so the user is not to be contacted again so as to avoid spam, and then move that user into a seperate usergroup. This plugin is still in it's testing stages, but I have addressed the bugs mentioned previously regarding the emailing side of things. This is important so keep reading To install this plugin and take advantage of the bounced email features you are going to need to follow these instructions very carefully. I can not gaurentee that they will work to the letter as this will be based on each persons individual hosting settings. Step 1: Pre Install Before you touch this product you need to do the following
Remove all previous trace of this modification, and upload all the files in the "upload" folder to your base directory of the server. Go into your product management section and add a new product. upload the XML file with overwrite selected. Refresh your admin CP to load the new menu items. Just under the "users" group you will find an "Inactive Reminders" group. open that up and click on settings. Play with these settings and options to suit for the most part. when you come down to the bounce settings you MUST use the same email address as the one you created above. Set to active and save. I must re-iterate that this version has not been widely tested, but the simulations i have ran have worked. I look forward to your feedback! Features:
Planned Updates:
**1.2.1 Update*** Added more detail to the reports section. You can now see the email address, and quickly indicate which emails were invalid. You can link directly to that user to edit as you wish. I have fixed some errors which have been crashing people's database. Please post any problems if you can. **1.2.3 Update*** Fixed several problems with escaping strings Stopped database errors locking up site *** **1.2.4 Update*** Added a "From Email" so you can specify your own email address to send the reminders from. Fixed potential bug for people who do not use the mail queue. Anyone having problems with sending emails out too fast, and multiple emails being sent need to consider changing their email settings in vbulletin options. People with emails going out too fast - edit Number of Emails to Send Per Batch to a lower amount People with multiple emails sending - edit Use Mailqueue System to "Yes, with locking" *** **1.2.5 Update*** Added more stats in the reports page, also added a "Send test email" option so users can test the functionality of the mod *** **1.2.6 Update*** Identical to 1.2.5, however EzBounce support added. *** **Opps Update*** Sorry i somehow managed to not include the file in the zip. My bad. *** Show Your Support

One more thing: Not having the predefined From address as a setting, it uses "nobody" on my server. I do have the Webmaster email set in the standard vBulletin Admin CP options.
Peace, Gene |

I just installed latest version (first as update, then as a new install) and can't seem to find what has changed, the options page looks the same as before? Also unable to locate where to add the email address...
Otherwise, I look forward to trying it out. |

With some add-ons, you need to edit the PHP file to add the EZ Bounce headers. Let me know if that's the case for you using the new version of this add-on but what you need to add will look something like this... Find in product-remindermail.xml: Code:
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n"; $headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n"; $headers .= "To: $username <$email>" . "\r\n"; $headers .= "From: " . $vbulletin->options['bbtitle'] . " Reminder Service <" . $vbulletin->options['webmasteremail'] . ">" . "\r\n"; Code:
$bounceurl = $vbulletin->options['ezb_admincpurl'] . "/ezbounce.php?u=" . $userid; $bouncestring = "<a href=\"$bounceurl\" target=\"_blank\">$bounceurl</a>"; $headers .= 'X-EZbouncer: ' . $bouncestring . $delimiter; |

Do I need to edit this to show my URL and forum team or does this do it automatically with the coding done?
Code:
The $forumtitle Team <a href="$homeurl">$bbtitle</a></p> |

First of all, thanks a lot for the code suggestion: It worked like a charm and now the EZ Bounce header is fully functionally in the bounced messages.
One more thing: Maybe the coder of this plugin can add an option to activate EZ Bounce header support, so we don't have to manually edit the product each time it's updated. Unless, of course, he comes up with a better idea -- and I still have hopes for that. Peace, Gene |
