Yes, you will need to add some code.

Kerry, the mod worked just fine for me as well. This is a very usefull modification, and very well thought out, although I am going to make a few modifications... I will add the feature of sending it to their E-Mail or to their PM, and possibally both. Nevertheless, great job, very well written. From a freash install, or even my version of the board.
StockholmStudent, I understand the frustration many users may have when adding code. Although there are ways to maintain an adult manner. If you re-read what you said, you put to shame all of the time and effort that Kerry had worked so hard for.
Just my 2 pennies, I think you should learn to program, throw a couple of your own mods out there. Another words, before you judge, have a trial. Walk in their shoes and think about what you said. Is it something you would like said to you?

Jeff, I've never said that THEY have done a BAD work. Have I? Im just frustrated. That's all. I think they understand me. I would if I where in "their shoes".

The problem wasn't that the mod "sucked", it was that you were trying to apply a mod written (and clearly labeled) for 3.1sr4 on an older version (3.1sr1).
I'm not sure I understand how that made the mod "suck".

Thanks for the feedback, Jeff - and please post your code with the pm mod (nice idea!  )
Also - what do you think about the idea of being able to preformat & store commonly used messages like:
*-----begin msg
Hello [username],
Your account with [forum_name] has never been
used since you registered [reg_date].
In order to keep our membership current yada-yada-yada....
*-----end msg
And model it after Stimmy's configurable email mod (a nice mod, btw!).
Anyway, just a thought.
-Kerry

The MOD is working great! A few things on my wishlist:
1-Send their username & password (if they haven't been there for a while they probably forgot) or a link with that info so they can loggin by just clicking on the link.
2-Unsubscribe from mailing by clicking on a link (some users are active but don't want to receive email regarding the forum).
3-Option to send E-Mail, or their PM, or both.
I know that's a lot to ask for, but that's why it's a wishlist.
Thanks again for an Excellent MOD! |

StockholmStudent,
If you had bothered to pay attention you would have realised that the mod was for SR4. Perhaps you should try using your frustration to form coherent questions rather than making blanket statements like "That sucked."
Just an FYI, I read the instructions and guess what? It worked first time no problem! There is much to be said for following instructions.
I know squat about ASP programming but I do a little perl, etc. So I know how it feels to create something, test it, make sure iot works as specified and then have someone that can't follow simple instructions start ranting about how awful it is. (Blaming everyone but themselves).
Ahhh- Human Nature.."ain't it grande?"

I agree with bpatti ... This mod looks like it will work great for me ... I tested it on my internal server and came out working perfectly fine! Thanks Kerry ... but to add to bpatti's wishlist ... I'd also like to see a way for them to unsubscribe from the mail ... or possibly a way to setup a mailing list that people can subscribe and unsubscribe from but still use snitz forum in a way ...
Sorry I'm by far a horrible scripter/coder and don't know a whole lot, but just wanted to add my 2 cents and also thank kerry for the mod! nice work!

Here goes...!
quote:
1-Send their username & password (if they haven't been there for a while they probably forgot)
-I'm not sure if that's a good idea or not. Suppose John Smith registers with jsmith@mycompany.com and a while later changes jobs. While whoever uses jsmith@mycompany.com can get his password from the forum, I'm not sure I'd want to send it to him. Does anyone else have thoughts on this one?
quote:
2-Unsubscribe from mailing by clicking on a link (some users are active but don't want to receive email regarding the forum).
This is in version 2 (almost done) along with a message manager / archiver.
quote:
3-Option to send E-Mail, or their PM, or both.
I might do this, but for now I'd like to keep with writing for the standard release rather than tieing in with another mod (I'm still learning!). -One problem I see with this, though, is suppose you have a large user base - half of whom don't visit and the rest rarely delete thier pm's. -Here at Snitz we show over 1,300 users. Now suppose we send 12 messages per year (only one per month) - that allows for possibly 15,600 entries clogging up the db just from those 12 messages. There may be a way around this, but I haven't had a chance to try and figure it out just yet...

Kerry,
I'm not a ASP programmer but what about setting up an "auto-delete after xx days" kind of thing? I just happened to think of this as I was changing some settings on my email server which just happens to have such an option.

Kerry, first let me thank you for considering my suggestions.
quote:
1-Send their username & password
If John Smith no longer works at that company then his company would delete his Email box, not assign it to another jsmith@mycompany.com
Since I would receive an "undeliverable mail" message, I would go to his profile and "Unsubscribe" him from the mailing list. Also, I change his Email to invalid@mycompany.com
quote:
2-Unsubscribe from mailing by clicking on a link
Can't wait to see Version 2, thanks again.
quote:
3-Option to send E-Mail, or their PM, or both.
Since there's no way for me to contact "John Smith" I can now leave him a message on his PM to update his profile with a valid Email address. I can target all the invalid@mycompany.com that are in my database. That's why I would like this feature, so I can target specific users not mass email everyone.
Please let me know what you or anyone else thinks.
