Wzzzzup all,

Is there a way for users to unsubscribe themselves.

Or is there a module, code snippet, or something to to achieve this.

Thx in advance,
Grizz

"unsubscribe" from what?

Verymis.,

Our site requires registration for access.

Once someone registers for our site, they decide their not interested and want to unsubscribe.

Yes, we could put up a link or request form, then delete the user manually. We're looking for something automated.

Now I understand, you want users to be able to delete their own accounts.

Here's where this gets problematic for you a site owner, user deletes account and all content is deleted. This would include threads that other users commented on. It's why d.o. doesn't have this feature yet. As far as I know there is no module that handles this either.

Thank you!

If user wants to leave, then so does their content. Other users who have commented on content by departing user would still be deleted, even if we had to do it manually.

There is an inactivity feature in phpbb, maybe I can work from that to include it in Drupal. That way a user who wants to unsubscribe will automatically be deleted after a period of time. Email notification is sent for inactivity prior to deletion. OR just do it manually...grrrrrrrr..... lol

Thx again,
Grizz

Doesn't help you now, but just an fyi-- this is now possible in d7.

For now:

http://drupal.org/project/user_delete (patch in the issue queue for d6).

http://drupal.org/project/user_cancellation

Thx WorldFallz,

Those 2 modules aren't even D5 ready yet, not available for D6 or D7.

I am not upgrading to D7.

I went from D4 to D6, and that was a big mistake with D6 coming out way to early with modules taking so long to catch up.

D7 is not ready for use yet, i only mentioned it to note that the issue is only temporary.

As for a d6 version, if no one tests and reports on the patch in the issue queue for user_delete then I guess there won't be a an official release. Releases don't happen magically-- they happen because people that need a feature contribute toward it's development. The fact that a d6 version is not yet available means no one has bothered.
