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.

By any chance, can i set some kind of restrictions that the script does not send more than 250 emails per hour? My ISP has restricted emails to 300/hour. Lemme know.

thanks in advance.

This is a great mod! I have a feature request that similar in functionality to this mod. In addition to e-mailing inactive users, can you add a function to e-mail users whose subscriptions are about to expire? Thanks for considering.

@djbaxter: sorry for the late reply. know this because I didn't change anything on the email sending function only the member grabbing function so the formatting is still the same.

Any news on the rewritten version and an approx. timeframe to its release?

[robertjandreu]

I don't have a timeframe since I'm really busy. Prolly will take some time. Please be patient.

Thank you for this nice plugin.

Found out how it works.
Very nice.

- is it possible to send a test email to the admin?
- can I create another message and send it also to users who haven't activated their registration?

I'm only using this for one usergroup, the ones awaiting email confirmation. This is the message I use.
