I wonder if you intend to release an official installation at some point.

The module looks interesting.

just found this myself wondering if there was some way to do precisely what this module does - hope it makes it to drupa6!

...to the devs behind this - are there plans to support and/or port to d6?

I've sent a message to the module maintainer to see if he/she is still actively developing. If he/she is not or cannot then I am offering to take over the module.

I've made a number of changes to get this module up and running and sort out the lack of PostgreSQL support. Stay tuned for a new issue post shortly with rewritten account_reminder.module and account_reminder.install files.

you're awesome. thank you so much for taking this over (if that happens) - i'm setting up a local community site and this is such a basic yet critical feature to get people to 'follow through' for registration-required-for-anything sites...

btw, can it incorporate elements of the other activity related account module to also prod users who haven't been at the site in X days??? that would be killer - admin could tweak it like "hey, we haven't seen you at %site in weeks! where are you?"

thanks for taking this over jaydub! how's it going? need a tester or anything like that (feedback, documentation assistance, etc) - if so, just let me know here or via contact...

I've committed most of what I wanted to and will be making a beta release soon. As
for testing that would certainly be appreciated.

This beta does include a change to of the columns in the account_reminder table
and although I am pretty sure that the update function should take care of updating
existing data, it would be best to make a database backup before using on a
production site.

very nice. btw, can this also be configured to remind users who have 'not logged in for a while'? like a 'we miss you' module?

"can this also be configured to remind users who have 'not logged in for a while'? like a 'we miss you' module?"

sounds a lot like Inactive User module to me....

I'd rather not duplicate something that is already available.

That being said, I am interested in contributing to the inactive_user module and
have already contacted the author about helping to maintain. No answer so
far though.

yup, you're right - brought it up because he said it's been neglected and on the backburner: http://drupal.org/node/231043

these seem like they'd do well as one combined 'account activity minder' module..

I've made a Beta release. Please test it out!

okay, will do - need to create some fake accounts and stuff...
