[CDB] PhpBB IUM (Inactive User Manager/reminder)

[andreask]

Hi Markus,

The status "Active" is for the forum. Meaning that they are "activated accounts".
Since they are in that list that means that they have not visited your board for the last x amount of days (amount is set in reminder settings "Interval")

The ext should start sending reminders after a few (~minutes) when you will enable it in "Inactive user reminder settings", depending on your traffic since it uses the phpbb scheduler.
Check the admin logs (in maintenance) of your board to see if there is a line that says "{### reminders were sent.}"

Yes you are right. I will schedule that for the next release.

Thanks for the feedback.

Correction.

The list show the users that have not visited the board and the amount of the days for that list is under it (filters).
In the reminders settings "Interval" you set the interval of days from current and backwards till users last visit.
Meaning that if you set an interval of 50 days in the reminders settings, a user will not be considered as a "sleeper" unless 50 days have past since his last visit.

This is such a great EXT that we just had to go live with it.

The ext should start sending reminders after a few (~minutes) when you will enable it in "Inactive user reminder settings", depending on your traffic since it uses the phpbb scheduler.

Maybe I am being impatient, but no reminders have been sent after about two hours since activating this EXT. Hopefully later today that will have changed.

EDIT (about 90 minutes after the original posting time): It did send those reminders. It might have taken a little more than two hours, but it did happen.

This EXT has great potential in attracting members who have been inactive. I find that very valuable.

installed Beta 3 on a phpbb 3.1.10 board with PHP 5.4.45-0+deb7u5 (cli) (built: Aug 30 2016 20:15:34) and got the following error message when I try to choose one of these three configuration options

• IUM configuration
• Inactive Users List
• Ignore/Delete Approval List

Code: Select all

PHP Fatal error:  Can't use function return value in write context in /var/www/forum/ext/andreask/ium/acp/main_module.php on line 216

Hi,

Oh wow, thats a beautiful error!
I guess I need to updated the requirements for php to > 5.5
But I will also try to fix this for older versions.

@whocarez
Please give me some time and I'll do my best to fix this.

Thanks for your time!


@potku

Thanks,

Basically it depends on the traffic of your board and of course if nothing else is running on the scheduler.
If you want to see if something or when it is scheduled to run you can use cron status.
Thanks again.

[whocarez]

Thanks for your time!

No problem, I'm waiting for this extension!

I know these are n00b questions, but that's me.

The date is now x-x-x. How could it be changed to x.x.x.?

The topics in the e-mail are "Topic". How could that be changed to Topic?

No problem!

For the dates.
in andreask/ium/classes/reminder.php find:

Code: Select all

'LAST_VISIT'	=>	date('d-m-Y', $sleeper['user_lastvisit']),
'REG_DATE'		=>	date('d-m-Y', $sleeper['user_regdate']),

replace with:

Code: Select all

'LAST_VISIT'	=>	date('d.m.Y', $sleeper['user_lastvisit']),
'REG_DATE'		=>	date('d.m.Y', $sleeper['user_regdate']),

For the topics.
in andreask/ium/classes/reminder.php find:

Code: Select all

foreach ($top_user_topics as $item)
				{
					$topic_links .= PHP_EOL;
					$topic_links .= '"' . $item['topic_title'] . '"' . PHP_EOL;

replace with:

Code: Select all

foreach ($top_user_topics as $item)
				{
					$topic_links .= PHP_EOL;
					$topic_links .= $item['topic_title'] . PHP_EOL;

in andreask/ium/classes/reminder.php find:

Code: Select all

foreach ($top_forum_topics as $item)
				{
					$forum_links .= PHP_EOL;
					$forum_links .= '"' . $item['topic_title'] . '"' . PHP_EOL;

replace with:

Code: Select all

foreach ($top_forum_topics as $item)
				{
					$forum_links .= PHP_EOL;
					$forum_links .= $item['topic_title'] . PHP_EOL;

I would suggest to install the latest release as well of course!

Hello. In a template you can change the text of the letter?

[andreask]

of course but keep in mind that template variables are standard. unless you change those too in the ext.
If you have any suggestions for the templates please let me know.

Thanks, it's working. So I can play around with the options.
As far as I see the "users_per_page" value isn't shown on the Inactive user page, but I can change it from 10 to 999. But the max value is 50.

I need to an email was in Russian. How to make?

Thanks, I fixed the users_per_page problem (will be on next update) min max (in pagination) I think they are hardcoded I don't think there is something that I can do. I've set min to 10 and max to 50 because less is pointless and more than 50 I think it's too much.

напишите на русском, я понимаю (я половина русский).
Я просто не могу писать, я использую Google Translate.
