Inactive users... user_temp is empty

when i looked to my user tables i saw over 200 user are inactive.. normally the inactive users must be on user_temp.. but the user_temp is empty.. registered user directly go to nuke_users whether they are active or not...

it can nearly takes month to make them one by one active and send email to them that from now on they are active...

is there a way to carry the inactive users from nuke_users to nuke_users_temp and make them active and send a spesicific email to them? and from now on the user first must go to temp...there is a script on my admin panel that shows 'users waiting for activation' but bec of user_temp is empty it shows nobody..

is it possible to fix this?

I have not seen a specific script to do this, but there is a module I use that helps to manage this better than what the base distribution package has. It's the CNB Your Account module. There has been some discussion on this site about waiting until version 5 of this module comes out, but I use it on my site and am quite happy with how it works in this regards.

I was just playing around with it, and you can quickly move a user to a suspended state, which allows you to send them and email with the reason. To reactivate them you simply click restore which moves them back to an active state.

but i think this script will look for user_temp doesnt it? my inactive users are on nuke_users so if i install this script it will not show any inactive users bec. the user_temp is empty...

i think i must somehow carry my inactive users to user_temp table.

From what I have observed, inactive accounts remain in the nuke_users table, but have their user_active field with a value of 0. Active users have a value of 1. There is another field called user_level, and if the value of that field is 0, this seems to suspend the account. The CNBYA script allows you to easily modify these fields. but I have since learned to SUSPEND an account rather than deactive it, because for some reason once you deactive the account, the CNBYA doesn't allow you to reactive the account, you have to go through the database table and reset the value of user_active to 1.

What would be the purpose of moving the user to the users_temp table? I may be missing your point, but I like you am learning Smile
