[vBulletin 3.5-3.7] Account removal plugin v1.0.0

[Tornevall]

This product makes it possible for users to remove their accounts themselves.

It works in following way:

• The user choose to remove his/hers account
• As the account is deleted, the mailaddress used at registration will be blocked until someone resets the account
• As the account is deleted, the ip that was used at the removal will be blocked for XX hours ($regdelay has a default of 2 hours or 7200 seconds)
• No posts or threads will be erased with the removal
• Spoofing of kill.php is not possible - a hashcode prevents bad clicks

The source

kill.php - the script that will be used with the account removal
killaccount_swedish.xml - Swedish translation
product-user_unregister.xml - The product
template-kill_account.txt - The template that works with the product
template-navbar.txt - Code for navbar, if you want to include "remove me" there

No modifications on any other templates is needed.

7 phrases added, and swedish is included.


SQL

user_deleted will be created at installation, to keep track of ips and account deletions.


Settings

In the plugin "Registration/Block deleted users", look for this string:
$regdelay = 7200;

Change this value (in seconds) to change the delay of how long time after an unregister-request a user have to wait before new registrations are allowed again. This function is IP-based.


Instructions

1. Copy kill.php to your forumroot
2. Add a new template, named kill_account and paste the code from template-kill_account.txt
3. Install product-code product-user_unregister.xml

For swedish language, import killaccount_swedish.xml


***[ NAVBAR ] **********
If you want to offer the function from your navbar, edit the template 'navbar'. Look for:

<if condition="$show['member']">

Add after that code:


<!-- Removing account, visible if logged in only (start) -->
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="kill.php">$vbphrase[kill_unregister]</a></td>
<!-- Removing account, visible if logged in only (stop) -->
