Can anybody help with this one? I'm trying to create a MOD to have an expiration date on an account. When a user views/edits their profile I'd like for them to see the date but not be able to change it, admins would be able to change it. Also, when a user logs in and their account is expired it should let them know it is expired (sorta like a wrong password notice).
Thanks,
Mark

No takers on this one? No feedback? Nobody will even tell me I'm crazy?

I really like the idea also. It would make the management of a large user database (portal site, discussion boards) much easier if there were some sort of set time limit 'since last visit' in which an account would be marked as expired. An admin could then view a seperate list of expired ID's and send reminder notices or delete them and make them available for other new users.
Is this what you were thinking also?

I'm pretty sure if you check out the email list manager mod, it allows you to send emails to users who have not posted since a given time, you may also find there is a MOD to delete users who have not posted.

Just note that by default the M_LASTHEREDATE only gets updated if they visit the forum/default.asp or active.asp page and will not be updated if the users visit other parts of your site outside of the forum.

Could this just as easily be placed in a renamed inc_top.asp Then just place the include where needed.

I've been away, glad to see some response. But I haven't seen a MOD for locking a user out after an expiration date. It would take adding a column in the Members table to set an expiration date, I've done that. Creating a field in the popup profile window, I've done this and made it plain text for the user to view, but an editable field for admins. The only part I can't figure out is how during the logon it checks the current date against the expiration date in the Members table, and if it's expired to let the user know or if the date is ok, then go ahead and log the user in.
Thanks, Mark
