I had the same sort of issues as nate (above), so after reading this thread in disbelief, I did the same check of the box to show download links in the “advanced settings” and mine works now just as nate’s worked. I guess I would suggest that you “fix” this properly, whatever it is, and you might also indicate clearly somewhere in the settings or setup instructions, documentation, whatever that this box needs to be checked, or it ain’t going to work.

Like Nate, I have spun my wheels for many, many hours trying to get to the bottom of the problem. I like your plugins, use several of them in fact, but it really should be easier than this to get it working properly.

Still looking for an update on this topic. Has the plugin not been updated to address this problem yet?

[dwt55305]

Thanks for that. I’m kind of surprised though. I’d have really thought you might view this as a positive enhancement enough to put one of your developers on it. I suspect that for your developers, someone who is already intimate with your plugin, it would be relatively quick and easy (and I can see how it would be much more difficult for someone from outside.)

The good news is I managed to talk my client “down off the ledge” and she is ok with the existing notification options.

Cheers!

Exactly right! Something like 15 days before expiry, 7 days before expiry, and 1 day before expiry. Each one could have a different message, with links to a renewal page and so on.

To be precise, I personally don’t want More, my client wants more. I just want to know which files would need to be modified in order to make it happen. I have looked in my site’s debug_cron log file and I have seen how a expiry notification appears there when it is executed by the daily cron job. So it seems to me that the daily cron should be adaptable to deal with multiple versions of expiry alerts, shouldn’t it?

I would think it would be a matter of running the same kind of check on the member dates due to expire at each of the chosen lead intervals and using the same core tool for each variant to send out the email(s) when the impending expiry date is X days off.

Anyway, I would like to be able to do this if it is something you guys are willing to outline for me.

Thanks!

Do you mean manually send a warning email? If I set up a automatic email 15 days before expiration, in order to send a second warning email x days before the expiration date, that would require monitoring the members’ list daily to look for upcoming expirations, and sending each one an email manually. This would become a nightmare, but it seems to me that it ought to programmable much more readily, say by replicating the php code for the “eMember_before_expiry…” elements in emember_menu_email_settings.php.

Can you pose this question to your development team? I can’t imagine that there are not many other users of the plugin who would be very appreciative of the ability to send 2 or 3 pre-expiration auto emails.

Thanks!

Thank you very much for your prompt reply. This confirms what I thought I had read before.

I’m still wondering if it is possible to add more pre-expiration emails by editing the plugin php and/or functions.

Could you address this question, too?

Thank you in advance!
