Adding New User Profile Variables to E-mails

[Miker1029]

Hey All,

   I was wondering if anyone knows how, or can point me in the right direction, to add New User Profile Variables???

What I'm trying to Accomplish, Is I send out Mass E-mails on holidays and such, And to be "NON-SPAM" Compliant I need a way to have a link on the Bottom of the E-mail to take the user to "Delete Account" in the Profile... And Yes, I WANT them to delete there account.... As I also use this time to validate Legitimate E-mail address'......So If they don't want the E-mail, they need to just go on and go.....

I've looked into E-mail Redirects, Like When Someone Might need to use the "CODE" to Validate the E-mail Address on Registration...

So If I could find something to the Effect of http://blah.com?delete_account,  and they click the link, Login and get taken to the delete account in profile....

Thanks for ANY help or idea on how to do this.... Or anything you think might work....

SMF does not have anyway by default to unsub from the newsletters or delete an account without being signed into that account.

Right, I know, And If the need to sign in, that's fine, what I'm trying for is something like:

(In The MASS SEND E-mail, Variables are Examples)

Dear $NAME,

IF you do not wish to Receive E-Mails you can Delete your Account at:

http://www.android-x86.net/index.php?action=profile;area=deleteaccount;$UID

(THEY RECEIVE)

Dear Mike,

   Happy Fourth From Android - X86 Forums

IF you do not wish to Receive E-Mails you can Delete your Account at:

http://www.android-x86.net/index.php?action=profile;area=deleteaccount;u=1

---------------------------------------------------------

Ya they'll have to log-in but it'll take them to the Delete Account after words, So i'd need to Add the $UID Variable to the Sent E-mails....

you dont need to add the userid to the string, the url will take them to their profile if that is not provided, in the correct section.

I've Tried that I get the Error:

An Error Has Occurred!
The user whose profile you are trying to view does not exist.

With the the link with the uid, deleteaccount, Omitted and the with just the profile, they all give me the above error....

i tested it here and the page came up without issue.

[Miker1029]

Yes when the ID Is present, Why I need to add it.... They have Variables for UserName, Forumname, Etc, Why I need to ADD one for the UID....

[Miker1029]

Anyone have an Idea On How to do this?!?!  Or should I post in another location?

Thanks

Mike

P.S. Reason I'm Asking is I sent out the 4th E-mails and this is what It looks like....
