I believe that you have to access the admin page to have the program send out the "about to expire" emails.
I have mine set at 7 days.
What would happen if i went on holiday for 2 weeks (yeah sure!) and the admin page was not accessed in this time?
If this is correct, can i use a cronjob?
GW,
You can and its good to put it on a cron, around 12:01 AM.
Just have the cron access the admin.php URL.
Though the daily cycle is also ran when the register.php or control panel is accessed
on on a fairly busy site where one of those pages will get hit at least once the e-mails
would get distributed.
So, i get about 6-10 news members a day, and always get a member login or access their control panel each day.
Does this mean i dont have to worry?
I thought the emails only got sent if i accessed the admin bit ?
Yeah it should run always then. Though if you have cron ability that is the best move as depending on how long the cycle takes (which should be under 10 seconds) it can delay the page display for the first visitor of the day to one of those files.
