This modification is no longer supported.
It will remain available for download and use, but the thread is no longer monitored.

This is another simple modification written ages ago for my forum, I saw a request for something similar the other day so here is what I use.

If a member has not visited the forum for a defined number of days (180 by default) then they will be moved from their existing usergroup to another usergroup (this can be any existing usergroup, however, you should really create a new 'Inactive users' group - esp if you use the auto-restore option).

Only members of a defined list of usergroups are checked for inactivity.

If a member of the inactive usergroup returns to the forum, and auto-restore is enabled, they are automatically restored to another defined usergroup (by default this is usergroup 2, Registered Users).

Note: The move of inactive users is done as part of the hourly update cron job.



History:

v1.01 : First Release for vB 3.6.
v1.02 : Automatic restore made optional.

I don't understand why I'd move a user from inactive to registered after 180 days of inactivity (he/she just reregister if they want to come back), anyway if you remove the automatic restore or at least gve us the option to set it to our linkings I will give it a shot.

Regards

I can't see any benefit of this either, perhaps if there is, someone can enlighten me.

Thanks for this. An extension of it would be a way for it to work with the "Send an email to inactive user" Mod. If an email is sent out and the system does not log a response (by the user logging in after a set number of days), then he would be moved into the Inactive usergroup - a group one can weed out occasionally. I would rather delete on inactivate a user after he has been contacted to get his account active or lose it.

Thanks Paul M.

We use it simply to seperate out inactive users for things like e-mails.

This is provided 'as is' for anyone who happens to want to use it, I don't plan to change it.

If you don't want the automatic restore then just disable the "Inactive Users (2)" plugin.

Great idea.. in fact I once asked for something similar and this will do the job. I just installed it. I assume there will be a mass move when it hits for the first time? How long until that happens?

The moves are done as part of the hourly update cron job. I've added that to the description so it's clear.

I clicked on it so it did that and its still not showing for some reason that they have moved across, I have checked that I have the settings right and they are.

If it's set-up correctly then it's pretty hard for it not to work, what settings do you have ?
