Description
is this module coming to d6? any insights appreciated...

#1
I've unfortunately been neglecting this module due to lack of time. :-( I do want to do a D6 version of it, but need to clean up the issue queue a bit first and do some internal refactoring. It also needs some SimpleTests written, as its current form is really hard to debug.
I have no timeline at this point. If you want to help out, the best thing you can do is provide SimpleTests. You may turn up bugs in the process. :-)

i wish i could write code - also looks like account reminder is mildly abandoned! http://drupal.org/project/account_reminder

Does anyone know if a port to 6. is being worked on? Thanks.

@crell: is this module still under active development for a d6 release?
#8
At the moment, no. I just don't have the bandwidth for it, sadly. I do want to refactor it to use Actions (or possibly Rules module), but I just haven't had the time.
If someone is seriously interested in helping out, I could use a co-maintainer. Please, serious inquiries only. I've already had numerous cases where a co-maintainer has come on board for a module only to be even less active than I have. I do NOT want to see that happen again.
#9
thanks crell, wish i could help but i don't write code...oddly, could this just be rewritten as some kind of custom action for import?
for example, is there a view (with admin only access when created!) that will show users by last login and then set to filter by some date variable, and then assign a rule or something? or maybe just a manual thing?
#10
That's exactly the sort of question we'd need to figure out. :-) The main problem with Actions is that they're not configurable, at least not directly. You'd have to set up the configuration elsewhere. That's where Rules is helpful, as its "Actions+" are configurable, but the shear size of the code that you end up adding for Rules scares me off to a great degree.
I'm tempted to say we should do a straight port of IU 1.x first, then make a 2.0 version that is based on "modern" APIs to avoid the hassles that Views and CCK and Imagefield had doing ports and rewrites at the same time. The 5.x version has a number of outstanding issues that should be closed first, though. :-(
As I said, I need a co-maintainer at this point because I'm not up for handling it myself. I just don't have the bandwidth.

I use this in a 5.x I have and am keen to move to D6 (because of issues with views in d5) I would happily help test a D6 port when you get there.
#15
Thanks for the great module, anxiously awaiting news on D6 port. Subscribing.
#16
I ported this module (test!!!) to drupal 6.
Please test it, I have no emailserver to test if everything works...
The uploaded file is no patch but complete module...
#17
If your still looking for a co-maintainer I want to help you with a new 2.0 module for drupal6.
Let me know!
#18
OK downloaded it and have in on my testing site. I have set the time limits to the shorted possible so will have to wait a week or so before I can tell what is happening.
The admin interface seems to work OK.
Thanks.
#19
Hi,
Does it work well for D6 ?
Thanks a lot anyway !

Hello, i'm using the test module from comment #16 and saw half an hour ago a strange email - it seems that the module produced something my postfix couldn't understand, the mail looked like this: (my sitename replaced with "Sitename", the lines "errors-to" and "sender" removed )
To: "[Sitename]"@web.server.tld, Account@web.server.tld,removed@web.server.tldSubject:
X-Mailer: Drupal
Reply-To: Array@web.server.tld
From: Array@web.server.tld
If i somebody needs more information/debugging contact me, i'll do what i can (sorryly i'm no php coder). This happens on an almost clean drupal6 installation, no other modules except core modules with email capabilities.
#21
Happy to see a D6 version coming along.

subscribing. Wish I could code better! :(
#23
subscribing. i have users "never access" for years :(
#24
This module is really useful, without it I would have "nice" user stats, perhaps way above 10.000 :P I think it should be somehow implemented into the Drupal core, I've seen such a notifications on other cmses in default. Hopefully the 'official' 6.x branch will be out soon, for now I'll try 'bootleg' version by freddy031082.
I think there should be some testing facility for admins, say like in the watcher module (http://drupal.org/project/watcher)
#25
Thanks for porting this module for testing, freddy031082.
Like so many others, I'm needing this module for Drupal 6 badly! For now I'm going to try testing #16's port and hope there's some movement on the official 6.x branch soon.
#26
No more report ? Someone using the #16 port ? Thanks.
#27
wwwoliondorcom - Why don't U try by yourself ;-) I can tell U that it's doing it's job, deleting incative users, I haven't tried email function yet though, since it's testing site.
#28
As posted before I am trying this out unfortuanly I had to re-install my development site again. So have been delayed in reporting back. Give me 3 weeks and I'll advise on the e-mail function.

subscribe, thx!

I also tested the zip from #16.
Install and UI are ok.
During cron-run I get this error: preg_match() expects parameter 2 to be string, array given in /httpdocs/includes/unicode.inc op regel 280.
And from my mailserver I get this kind of error mails:
:
Sorry. Although I'm listed as a best-preference MX or A for that host,
it isn't in my control/locals file, so I don't treat it as local. (#5.4.6)

Maybe some more experienced coder can look into this?

@drupal.india please don't hijack the thread - open a new issue and please provide the entire error (not cropped), so we can all see what line number it's on.
