Email Idle Users by Waindigo [Deleted]

[TPerry]

Why is that better than just using the built in email system on your server?

Bounce protection.

 

[wickedstangs]

No, but after a few weeks you will be able to do a bulk member search for members who haven't logged on recently and delete them.

How do you do this?

How do you do this?

Admin CP -> Users -> Batch Update Users (XenForo 1.2+ only)
You can enter criteria for the members you want to find and then delete them.

Will there be any problems if I upgrade my existing copy of this (1.0.2) to the new version with using XF 1.3?

 

[MistyMeanor]

Nevermind... I found the answer in older discussion posts saying it IS compatible.

Anyone?

 

[Jon W]

Anyone?

I'm unable to replicate this issue, have you tried rebuilding or re-installing the add-on?

 

[Sunka]

Reinstalling did a trick

Btw, which email are sent (html or text) to users?

Glad to hear you have resolved the issue, here is some information regarding your new question:
Registration Email HTML vs. Text - Why two?

Does this add on create some type of log for the admin?

 

[DaveM]

Something that could be considered with this add on is to have a option to also not send a mail to members who have not logged in for x amount of days. there is not much point in sending a mail to a member who has not logged in since 2006

When I run a file health check I get this as a potential problem :
library/Waindigo/Install/20130903.php
File does not contain expected contents.
Running xf 1.3.2
Can I ignore this?

 

[Jon W]

Yup. Is usually safe to ignore as we accidentally changed a few lines of code without renaming the file.

when i change the time for when this cron is supposed to run, no matter what time i change it to it insists on running at 9:30pm every day. is this a possible bug?

The handling of the cron entry and the time it runs won't be a bug with the add-on if it is the case. Is the time of the cron being saved as 9:30pm incorrectly or is the correct time being saved? It is worth noting that cron entries will only run if your site is accessed, otherwise it will run the next time your site is accessed, perhaps something (maybe a server backup) is accessing your site at 9:30pm everyday and not a lot else is occurring?

well, i changed it to 4am, and it saves it as 4am... but when you're looking at it in the list of cron jobs, it always says 9:30pm, and that's the only time it ever runs (i get bounce back emails after this sends out it's emails). my server is pretty busy 24/7 as well...

 

[Jon W]

Sounds like a bug in XenForo. You should report it in the official forums.

ok, i'll run it by them. thanks!

I'd love to be able to limit it to users within a usergroup and might be willing to contribute to that, especially if anyone else is also interested and wants to go together.
