Vanilla*APP (White Label) & Vanilla*Skins Shop MVP
Hi all,
Does Vanilla know a way or a plugin to remind Users to check back again.. for example 3 months after inactivity?
I'mean there is a table row "DateLastActive" and i can create a Newsletter-List of those, but just asking.
Thanx for info.

It is easy for the owner of a forum to create a list
you could do it via cron or manually create list.
SELECT Name, Email FROM `GDN_User` WHERE TIMESTAMPDIFF(MONTH,DateLastActive,NOW()) > "3"get the names. loop and e-mail

@x00 can you make such plugin?
There was an error rendering this rich post.
Good idea if you can let users toggle this off
Hi x00, yes i would. But i still need a little time checking things out. i come back to you asap, ok?
Bump! Certainly a useful plugin to retain the members
This would be trivial with a cron system.

exactly what i thought. how hard would it be to extract list. and cron a batch file to send form letter.

Sorry. Does that mean such a plugin would be redundant or are you suggesting it's easy to develop such a plugin? I am technologically challenged.

I have something ready like this, based on several rules and with a e-mail template editor.
We are currently rebuilding VanillaSkins.com, i inform you soon about it.

For some reason, I was thinking about the dev team mentioning implementing cron. I completely forgot about this wonderful plugin!

The Cron plugin needs some refinement, but it works and it can easily be used by other plugins and applications. In fact, I even suggested the Vanilla Team to use it in their official releases. A bit of pride never hurts.

If you and others are willing to make a pledge to me that you will honor via paypal, I could write up a plugin (assuming you don't want to go via the cron route and selectively mail when you want based on months since lastactivity date) for you and the community and post it in the add-ons section. But I have a feeling the desire to pledge a monetary amount is beyond the desire of those who want someone to spend hours writing something for the for free.
