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.

Nice...I'll use it in conjunction with Paul M's hack...

I really like this mod, but I am encountering a problem where new registrants are also getting the reminder emails.

Yes, I have your 1.1.3 version which supposedly has that fix:

Update 1.1.3 (22/5/08)

* Bugfix for New Registers

I assume that was what it's for, right?

Well, anyway, it's not working for me.

Suggestions?

Peace,
Gene

My reminder e-mails from "From: Discuss New York" which is bad, and should be forums@my-domain

I actually went into the code and fixed this. I'll document that shortly in this thread so everyone (including the developer) can include that fix.

didn't work for me

[Osama11]

its working 4 me but.. its sending a email from host email address... is there any way i can changed the email address to send those emails ?

PLzzz reply me soooooooooooooooon

[yahoooh]

send from: e-mail
not show the e-mail of the site or contact
any fix for this?

[trilljester]

Alright, this is what I did to fix the email being sent out and the address, site name, etc.. being all goofy:

In the includes/cron/remindermail.php file:

FIND:

			if(is_valid_email($toemail)){				
				$sentlist .= "$username ";
				vbmail($toemail, $subject, $message, $notsubscription = false, $from = $vbulletin->options['bbtitle'], $uheaders = '', $username = '');
			} else {

REPLACE with this:

                        if(is_valid_email($toemail)){
                                $sentlist .= "$username ";
                                vbmail($toemail, $subject, $message);
                        } else {

That will fix the email going out to the users, if you want to fix the email that is sent to you with the report, modify the 2 vbmail functions near the bottom of the file to only have 3 options.

Neat, now if it would only stop sending out reminder messages to brand new members.

Peace,

I'll look at the SQL for that call and see if I can figure out why it's doing that. I have not experienced this issue. Maybe I'll create a test user and see if they get "reminded".
