Having just installed Account reminder on an existing system it appears to be sending emails out to pre-existing accounts that have not been activated. However, there appear to be two problems:

1. It does not appear to be sending out the bcc

2. The email being sent out does not appear to be substituting the actual user name, site name, etc. Is this because it is trying to send to pre-existing accounts?

The bcc not working could be the same problem as identified in the Email confirm module where case sensitivity was the cause.

Any help would be appreciated as this would be a useful module to have working.

Thanks,

Izzy

The same difficult for email, user name, site name, etc. not appear to be substituting

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one having this exact same issue. It was a tad bit embarrassing to have the first reminders sent to all users who had not yet logged on with all the fields left in the template version, i.e. "Hello !username, "

I've disabled the module until we can get this figured out. Again, it would be a very useful module if it worked correctly!

I agree this would be a very useful module except for the critical problems with the outgoing emails. I am wondering if anyone is still maintaining this module as there does not appear to be any response to this question after more than 2 months.

The replacement not happening due to that mail content have string like !login_url, !site.

The code in account_reminder.module have token for replacement like %login_url, %site.

So change the %login_url to !login_url and other token in the same way. It will work out.

I committed the changes to CVS. look for a new snapshot release for 6.x.

I don't hvae time to test out the BCC function so if someone is able
to test that please report success/failure here

Version: 6.x-1.0 » 5.x-1.x-dev

I wish I read this before I sent out a slew of account reminder emails

I put the text for my email into the account_reminder page:

Username: !username

Password: !password

should be:
%username
%password

if you enter text into the email fields on the account reminder pages

I am using 5x.dev version on D5.10

Hi -

I'm having the bcc issue, as well. Only thing is, I'm running Account Reminder 6.x-1.1 on a Drupal 6 install.

I should have received a large number of emails (a couple hundred). I know the emails went out because I immediately got a large number of new responses to my survey.

Not really an issue for me; my survey and this site will be turned off in a week. But I thought I'd let you know.

Thanks!

I am having exactly the same issue - bcc not working! If anyone has any suggestions for alternative (quick) ways to remind users of their accounts please let me know.

Are you running 5.x or 6.x? I've made updates to 6.x in the development snapshot which attempts to address this. I haven't committed those same changes to 5.x.

Sorry - I'm running 6.x -1.1 if that helps (so this is not quite the correct issue queue I realise). Thanks for the swift reply btw - encouraging when people pay attention. How stable is the development snapshot and do you have any idea when it will go live?

Thanks again.

#13 Well I consider it stable in that it works for me in testing but of course any testing by others would be very helpful since my own testing can't be as thorough as multiple users testing in parallel. If you download and test the development snapshot, be sure to run updates as I added an update to try and clean up any placeholders in the email templates.

Ok - I will test it out after the current webform I am doing is finished (I am using account reminder because the users are wholly temporary and need encouragement to log in and complete the form). Really useful module so all your efforts really appreciated.
