[Terminatoronly]

good hack it can let the members post more and more i think i will use it for a while

[coderphp]

yes and it can be used to simulate admin presence all time :D

[projectego]

This looks interesting... thanks!

[Rich]

I think this modification would be great if it could be assigned to specific forums and possibly have a different post for each one. After a while, this would look extremely repetitive. EVERY thread has the exact same response in it?

[coderphp]

of course the autoreply text should be changed on a timely basis...

thanx

[YeşiLMeN]

Installed Thanks !

I seccond this.


I would also love having the opposite to this:

5- Ability to exclude some forums from Auto Reply for threads added into them, as suggestions and administrators forums.


The ability to enable in the selected forumIDs only. I have more than 300 forums, Its a pain in the ass to enter 299 forumIDs just to enable this hack in 1 forum.

Appart from this, the hack is great :D

coderphp question say you have it where if a user post a link it gets put into moderation or if you have a forum that is moderated and this is turned on in that forum will it wait till the thread is approved before it post a reply? or will it reply to the thread before it is moderated?

[Stangsta]

This is an excellent idea.

I would like to use it for an introductions forum, where it would automatically post only once at the specified delay in which the thread as produced welcoming the new user when they make the thread.

And rather to "exclude" certain forums (as entering all the ID's would be cumbersome) maybe "include" only certain forums.

Can this be done?

[Smoothie]

I agree, looks like a great mod. But, too bad you are restricted to only 1 message. It would be cool to be able to add say 15-20 messages and have them randomly posted.

it would be auto replied after the new thread is approved..

yes it can be done.. and it had been discussed in post#17

good idea to have more than one message to select randomly...
& it will be added to the new version ...

[Smoothie]

I already discussed this point in post#17 of the same thread...I know what was discussed, just adding my $.02 to the mix. :)

Just what I need for my "Who are You" welcome forum,many thanks :cool:

Installed,and tested, took a while to add all my forums in that i wanted excluded and also you might want to add that forums should be seperated with a ,

It uses the the bb codes which is good as you can have links,smileys etc on the reply post.

Many thanks

[Kentaurus]

The plugin is currently in global_start.... adding a query to every page that vbulletin loads. That's quite bad for large forums with a lot of traffic. Could this be done instead in a cron job? Something that runs every minute or such. The timing would go off a little, but it would save a lot of queries on the forum.

of course it could be done through cron manager.. but it will not be very good for timing and it will be more difficult for beginner user to adjust, besides one small query i dont think will rise the load very much..

if it is of a benifit for members we can make another version for large forums which uses crons.. please let me know :)

[coderphp]

new version will be released today...

any other comments??

[Hornstar]

Quite usefull for some sites that need to let the user know the post will be checked out shortly. nice work.

[Luke Brown256]

Great cant wait for the next version to be released ( i am the same as some members on here have like 400 forums, and would like the option to INLCUDE forums i want it to be used on rather than exclude)

[BigJimTheLug]

This is so cool. I needed this, since I'm "done" with designing my forum. Now I need to build up post count and create an active web presence.

[BigJimTheLug]

Is there any way to create an "auto-thread topic" creation device?

[TheComputerGuy]

If the new release is going to be released today I will let you know how it goes. I will install it ASAP!

no problem.. but where will threads come from?

soon it will be released...

[Sophonax]

Seems interesting enough. I would like to have this mod.. Buuuut.. I ain't gonna install it untill I can include forums instead of exclude them.

[roger.kore]

Sugestion: Add an option to reply based on text or regexp
Example:

config:
/^Download Tools$^

User: Where download tools please?
Reply: At my.location.com

[orkyn]

i very like this hack, installed.... !!! thx

[Snake]

Thanks for this! :)

[cfish]

This would be perfect if you could set it to make a reply only to those threads that don't have a reply after a certain time. Then members who have posted questions without replies for say 24 hours would have an auto-reply saying something like "maybe you should rephrase your question..." or whatever.

[mediax]

When is the new version ready ?

[coderphp]

When is the new version ready ?

it will be released tonight...

maybe after 2 hours

check back soon ;)

[coderphp]

[BigJimTheLug]

reight!

no problem.. but where will threads come from?



Can't the threads be created to cater to the forum.

For example, I have an investment forum dealing with money, so maybe there is a way to customize the "auto-reply" "auto-thread topic" creation device to create threads based on my forums theme and only on this theme.

Essentially, all threads created would compliment the forum, but would not be the same as every other thread.


Is this a possible place to create threads?

Or maybe, you can program phrases and titles into the "auto-reply device" / "auto-thread topic" creation device? Will this work?

[King Kovifor]

Can this be changed so that is is for a specific forum? It might be helpful for using things like suggestion threads and things like that...

[asj]

Thank
