Hi Dik,
Thank you very much for your kind words! It means a lot to me.
To your issues, findings and thoughts now!
For what I understood you want the extension to send reminders to users that have not visited the board for more than 6 months... (right?).
In that case you will have to set the option
Interval
in
ium configuration -> Reminder settings
to 180 days. 30 days X 6 months (give or take).
The
Inactive users list
is just a tool for informations such as who is ignored who is not and in which way and to find quickly and easy, who was reminded last etc. You cannot configure anything there for the reminders.
All the configurations are done in the
IUM Configuration
.
I hope I understood you well and that I've helped you.
*Keep in mind that if you set the days to 180 this will affect the 2nd and last 3rd reminder as well. That means that they will be sent
after 180 days also.
The extension sends reminders to all the users that have not been active (logged in) for an x amount of days.
Activated or not...
Meaning that if a user has logged in and activated his account after a while he stops coming back he well get a reminder after x days of inactivity.
But a user that has registered and never activated his account will also be reminded.
So bottom line is that the users are inactive (do not have any sort of activity on the board) this is why I call it inactive... Not like in PHPBB inactive as not have been activated or have been disabled. It could be confusing, but if I'll starti using the "dormant" term I'll have to rename the extension
(perhaps phpbb could consider changing the term "inactive" to "unactivated", which is correct"er"
IMHO)
Does the bug affects > 3.2 as well? (ill try it on my test env, and have some fun finally...)
If so,this is "bad"... for my ext at least, because it uses the last login date to figure out if the user has logged in or not lately.
Well you can see the code on
github and
gitlab...
My code is a mess!!!
So if you think that you can understand what is going on there and improve it... by all means, be my guest!
Just fork the master and shoot at will...
I am not a professional php programmer and any input/help by a pro is more than welcome!
Best regards,
Andreas
P.S. A newer version is on master, so I suggest you download this one instead. But you'll have to completely remove the old one. I had to change a lot of things and one of them was to use the
phpbb_users
table instead of creating a separate table for my data.
