Hard refresh your Admin CP and look again.

It should be there under "Inactive User Reminder Emails".

If it isn't, it's not installed correctly.

It's not there... which means my question (does this work on vb3.5.x?) has been answered...

No it doesn't work on vb3.5.x

Will this product not send mails out to users who do not want to receive mails from administrator?

At the moment, it does not check to see whether the user has Admin emails unchecked. I believe Chris is working on that.

It's the last major drawback to an otherwise great add-on, in my opinion.

After this is integrated, I am considering installing this product. If users vote for "no" in meaning of getting no mails from me, I should not send mails to them.

Thanks for this mod It's a real good one.

I had no problems installing it and it seems to work perfectly on my side.

It just looks like the HTML code. I used your default message for testing. It shows all the HTML code as text in emails & not in HTML form. So i am using a text only custom message now, but it'll be great if i could send real HTML mails.

he nice stuff thanks

This mod is great but the admin insttructions are a bit vague, e.g.

How often does this run? Is it once a day?, once every few hours?
Does it keep running in bunches of emails as set in the admin "Email Quantity" until all are sent?
Once it has sent this to someone how long will it wait until it sends it to them again if they do not revisit. I would like it to send it again for them but how long does it wait in between sends to the same person? This might be part of the email frequency setting. is this number a number of days between resends to the same user?

Overall a few more instructions in the admin would be a real help. I am getting a few people email me back annoyed that they have received the email a few times in the first week and I am not exactly sure what the settings are doing entirely.

Thanks again for a great hack, just a bit more prompting would be great.

Check your Scheduled Tasks console and set up the frequencies there.The defaukts are way too frequent and should be adjusted ionce it's working. I have mine sent to 90 / 60 - remind after 90 days, don't remind again for another 60 days.

Really need to get the cron log working with this hack. It makes it impossible to really know who this hack is sending mail to and when

[djbaxter]

We need to get the "don't send emails to members who have deselected 'Receive emails from Admins'" issue fixed first, unless you relish getting on a whole lot of antispam blacklists.

I'm sorry for asking mayby silly questions, but how can I adjust the frequency like this in the scheduled tasks? It's the first time I do something with scheduled tasks and as I can see, I only can adjust the day of the month, the weekday and the time (h/m/s) ... my wish would be remind after 60 days, don't remind again for another 30 days ... can anybody help?

Thanks in advance,
sabine

First, go to Admin CP | vBulletin options | Inactive Users Reminder Emails

and set Days of Inactivity (mine is 90) and Email Frequency (mine is currently 30, i.e., every 30 days).

Then go to Admin CP | Scheduled Tasks | Scheduled Task Manager

and click on "Edit - Go" for Inactive User Reminder Emails.

Scroll down to where you see

Day of the Month *

Hour *

Minute * * * * * *

and decide how often you want this to run - note that "*" means EVERY day, hour, minute... and that is way too often.

I left day and hour set to * and changed minute to:

Minute 18 48 - - - -

where "-" means none, so this setting checks for inactive users every half hour at hh:18 and hh:48.
