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.

Just upgraded to this version from 1.09.

Received this bounceback message from and ISP:

Your mail to the following recipients could not be delivered because they are not accepting mail from UnknownSender@UnknownDomain:

What is this about?

[robertjandreu]

it means some mails won't be delivered because its a PHP generated mail. If noone is in the list you have nothing to worry about.

[djbaxter]

There is a member's name in the list below that message.

[robertjandreu]

then that member didn't get the email. Still nothing to worry about

[djbaxter]

"they are not accepting mail from UnknownSender@UnknownDomain" is something to worry about. That's not a real email address.

[Keyser S?ze]

question, you say a user will receive 1 email and never get another agai

what if they get the 1 email, and then visit the forums then disappear again, will they get another one, or no?

i agree, a user shouldnt get one each few months wether they visit or not, but if the email got them to return once, it may work again and maybe this time they will stick around

[robertjandreu]

then you don't need to select the new option

@djbaxter:
It's a setting on your server it has nothing to do with the plugin...

No, it's not. First, I'm running on a VPS and I know how it's configured. Second, every other email sent out, including by this add-on, has been fine.

It may indeed be the ISP at the other end - I was asking whether there is anything in your add-on that might be contributing.
