Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Users Cleanup

3.8 version repost. The same code.

This mod helps to automatically delete user account upon custom-defined rules. For example, you can delete members, who didn't comfirmed emails after 3 days, delete members, who have zero posts and didn't visited your forum for a long time, and so on.

Any conditions can be defined! Cleanup can be done in both automatic and manual mode.

Difference between built-in vB user pruner:

1. Completely automated.
2. Comfotable management of multiple rules.
3. More flexible prune criterias.

Some stat for my forum (only zero-posts users were cleared):

- last user ID 50652
- total users left 19359

60% effectivity!!!

Installation:

Upload files and import product XML.

Configuration:

• Enter ACP and go to Users -> Cleanup.
• Create cleanup rules you needs, and save in inactive state.
• Test you rules. Do manual cleanup, if you wish.
  
• Activate rules (enable automatic cleanup), if you are satisfied with testing results.

Warning! Don't activate cleanup rules without testing! Don't forget to backup your forum database!

PS. Product is marked as beta, because i can't test all possible rules combinations. But those been used - works fine. If you have strange results duging testing, don't hesitate to post screenshot with your rule, and explain what is wrong.

Was NOT tested with 3.6.x & 3.7.x, but probably works.

not working on 4.2.2

[jazmos]

I installed this product on VB 4.2.2 and did a test and the test seems to work. However how does the product run and delete users? I know there is a manual and automated mode but where do I set those options and when does the automated mode run? I have over 40,000 Users awaiting Email Confirmations dated back to 2004 that I need to delete and using the prune option yields 1000 users deleted at a time.

[btedition]

This works great on 4.2.0, can't we add a search string to search for a specific IP ?

[jazmos]

What version of this product are you running on VB 4.2.2 that is working? I see that there is 3 different releases and I think I tried the third one which Is .04 I believe. I see all the files were last modified March 21, 2011 in the folder I downloaded for this product. Is that the latest version?

Log into admincp, now on the left look for:

Users > Cleanup

Example:


It's in the small left column on the left, click to expand the users box then @ the very bottom is the link. *If the link is not there under the users box in admincp, that means you didn't upload the files properly. When you download the mod its in a .zip archive, once you extract the files and folders there is a folder titled "upload" <-- you upload whats WITHIN that folder to your forums, DO NOT upload the entire "upload" folder else it won't work i.e. the files required are now within /public_html/upload/admincp/themodsfiles.php instead of public_html/admincp/themodsfiles.php because the "upload" folder was just a place holder for the files not the folder they need to be in on your server.
