Cyb - Auto Reply

[Valter]

Info:
I'm using this to automatically welcome users in my "Introductions" sub-forum. You can customize messages and use it for any other auto-replying needs. You can write several messages (separated by |) and they will be used randomly in auto-replies. This work with subjects too. There are three different Sets of subjects/messages to use in different forums. You can set product to not reply to threads started by listed members, turn on/off signatures, etc... See screenshots for details about features...


To get this working don't forget to:
-Set forum id(s) in product options
-Set poster id(s) in product options

Otherwise it will not work or you'll get error messages.


Note:
-This executes 1 simple query on forumdisplay but only in selected forums.
-Same simple query is also executed when user searches for new posts.


Installation:
-Import XML file (as product) through AdminCP: Plugin System > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]


To set options:
Go to: vBulletin Options > Cyb - Auto Reply

Hi,

do you plan to make it work with prefixes ?
I mean, I've 3 main forums and no sub-forums but one different prefix for members presentation. So, It would be great if members posting in the main forum, with "presentation" specific prefix are welcomed by this auto reply.

Thanks for your answer !

[eddy315west]

Thanks Cybernetec Will Give It A Try LAter

[Arrangements]

Edit: Solved nvm

Good Mod now~ :D

May I add a suggestion:

Enable/Disable: Signature displayed at auto reply. I like to keep mine disabled, but it would be a good feature to add for others.

[myown]

will be installing soon

[gamerscms]

Found a error with the mod, when the user goes back to the main forums page it does not update with the new posted message until you go into the thread and see a new reply can this be fixed?

[echo2kk5]

**Installed
Working perfect here, thanks Cyb. :up:

[TheInsaneManiac]

Bug:
For some reason it sometimes double and even triple posts.

[echo2kk5]

How exactly do we add our own phrases? by clicking on the message link and adding it to the blank box? sorry, haven't done a lot of these type mods.

[Vehbi KOC]

[volarium]

Hey Cyb,

Love your hacks, have several of them installed - always top notch!

I'm looking for a hack that will post a new thread whenever someone becomes a Paid Subscriber on my board. I have the Happy Birthday hack, and I want this to work pretty much the same way as Birthday and Auto Reply. It either needs to detect new subscribers, or just new members of a specific Usergroup (in this case, one someone becomes a Paid Subscriber, I add them to the Premium Usergroup).

Can you tell me if the Auto Reply hack can accomplish what I need? If not, is there any simply ways to modify it? It not, might you be willing to release another hack that does this? I'm guessing it would be easy, just a different query.

Appreciate any advice.

[ShawneyJ]

damn no siggy display like other auto reply hack. but still good thanks.

[Sakai Ray]

*clicks install*

[intrigue]

same problem as post 13 looks like you add a new post but do not update forum table
thanks

[lazserus]

As always, great hack. I have a suggestion, though. The admin area needs a little more functionality. It would be ideal to have it so an admin can setup a series of auto-replies per forum, instead of a set of random replies to a list of forums. For instance, if someone has a Support forum, they wouldn't want a "Welcome {username}" as a response. Great idea, but functionality is EXTREMELY limited.

[rapidphim]

Where there is a new registered member, will this mod auto create thread to a specify forum??? just want to make sure I understood the mod correctly. Thanks much.

[Valter]

This will reply to new threads in specified forum.

For example if you have sub-forum where newbies makes their first posts to say "hello, i'm new", this hack can do that boring task to reply "Helo, welcome aboard, enjoy your visits..." etc... you can set several messages, hack will use them randomly in replies.

[rapidphim]

Is there a way that we can create a mod so that it will auto generate a new thread on a specific forum like a welcome thread for every new registered member?

[spacetv]

well i installed this like showen in file and it;s not working

[helpmehost]

This is a great mod but one problem I noticed that if some body replies to the user post still the auto reply works

[helpmehost]

one more suggestions I wish I could enable that during specific time for example night time
when I am not online or sundays

[honcho]

hi thanx for hack ive installed it
but how do i set a custom post please i have a post that i always make and wanna use that

[Valter]

Go to hack settings, there are links to phrases you need to edit. Don't forget to separate messages by "|".

[BigDog56]

Works great! But doesn't work with the 'forced into' mod.

[BigDog56]

I even tried to move a thread to the into forum and i could not get it to work. Only a new thread postd in that forum seems to work.

[fadiodeh]

This is a great mod but one problem I noticed that if some body replies to the user post still the auto reply works

yes if some body replies to the user post still the auto reply works

Need solution to fix it as soon as possible.

Thanx to this great mod :cool:

[helpmehost]

It is a problem, I want to use this mod when I am not online, I usually reply fast
I wanted to set the reply for 30 min
so if I reply before that the automatic reply should turn off

also interested in putting some time for it so that for example when I am not online
or on vacation or during night time I can make it work

[ShackMaster]

In the options:

Edit Subject and Messages
-Separate different messages with | to use them randomly
-{1} will be replaced with thread starter username, {2} with forum name

Is there a way to make {3} call in a custom profile field I created for a member's alias, which is there nickname? Or make {1} do this instead? I generally like to address members by their alias if it is different from their username.

Thanks!

[knigh22]

Destroyed my introductions forum, :-l

[karlm]

Sadly, no joy on 3.7.2 PL1 :(

Uninstalled.

[TrevsRevenge]

cybernetec I found a small problem with this hack it works perfect with 3.7.2 PL1 but when it posts in the forum it uses the first posters IP as mine so far no issue with multiple login detector but it could be a future problem do you have any ideas how we can fix this.

[Notorious Jay]

Great Hack, I would also love to see a variation so you can generate different replies for different sections of a board. Also I noticed that when the auto reply replies to a thread the user id you set to post a reply inherits the origional thread posters I.P. address, I think it would be helpful to mask the i.p. for the autoreply or maybe have a specific I.P. address field you can set. For a while I thought people were hacking into my Admin account due to the various I.P.'s that were added upon every autoreply. Other than that this has worked great for welcoming new members to our site.

[realmr]

Is this workin on 3.7.3 ?

[Markos]

i tried this mod and if i post in the section that is set to post in i cant go back into that section :S till i turn the mod off

[Emmmmrz]

I would love for this work; but it kills my entire skin list and the nav bar until it's turned off. Uninstalled. =/

[The_White_Eagle]

I get this error on importing:

Message


No file uploaded and no local file found.

[sunnylikbeckham]

cant u setup 1 more thing
we can decide seperate replies for seperate sections

[tafreeh]

goood idea sunnylikbeckham (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=243184) , plus it needs to be updated..

[Notorious Jay]

Is this workin on 3.7.3 ?

I used this on 3.7.3 until I upgrade to 3.7.4 and it works just fine on both.

i tried this mod and if i post in the section that is set to post in i cant go back into that section :S till i turn the mod off

What version of boards are you using I seriously doubt it's the hack as I haven't had any problems with that at all and I use it as an auto welcome. So every time someone replies to the auto reply as if I were talking to them I step in and reply again. Plus when my mods move topics from other sections to that section I reply in there as well.

[tafreeh]

hey there..

How come HTML code dosent work there? what if i wanna add pictures and links in my message?

[Valter]

hey there..

Use forum tags.

[zero5854]

is there a way to make this simply auto reply at random to the specified forums? Instead of only when a member posts? Also I have a problem that it wont work when I move unapproved posts to approved posts. Is there a way to get it to work even after a post has been approved?

[tafreeh]

this is a great mod... but i have a question...
Seconds to wait (after thread creation) before posting reply i put 30 in this field but still it create the post after 2 hour or so... how do i make it a minute....?

[Gleedo]

Is there a way that we can create a mod so that it will auto generate a new thread on a specific forum like a welcome thread for every new registered member?

Thats what i was hoping this mod would do. Any ideas if this is possible with this mod?

Thanks in advance :)

[The Realist]

Installed then deinstalled because Vbseo didnt like it.

Shame.

[dxflw]

Thanks installed on board 3.7.3 Patch Level 1 but the hack dont reply.

I have 7 user ids set up to reply to new introduction threads, but only one id replies per thread, is it possible for all 7 to reply in the same thread?

[King Fly]

So you are using this as a way to welcome new users to your forums? Would you mind telling me how you have this setup please? I thought this would just reply to new unanswered threads, rather than create new welcome ones? :confused:

[buurman]

Im using this plugin on 3.7.3 and its working great, for a while now, but not when im posting with this easy forms plugin:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=201097

This is probibly because posting is done on an other way than normal, any idea what I need to edit to get it to work with easy forms?

[AThomas]

Yes, just enter forum id to Introductions and add custom message, and it will post once after every New Intro

[DivineMessenger]

does this work on 3.8?

So are you saying the older ones worked correctly IE If I out in say 4 id's that they will all reply in the topics I ask and that they will reply after the specified time set?

[howcome]

this aint even posting for me

[RebelliousKrimp]

does this work on 3.8?

Yes - at least it works for me.

I had it installed on version 7 but upgraded. Try uninstalling the product through admincp and upload it again. After uploading you will need to edit your options but your post should still remain. :)

[Notorious Jay]

also works fine on 3.8 for me.

[yawsh]

I did ut it is not working on 3.8 :confused:

[messi93]

can i use this plugin to give the welcome to the new Users?

[jdougher]

Mod doesn't work. After it kicks in, if the original poster tries to access the thread, an error message appears.

UNinstalled.

This is not to welcome new users but to reply to new threads in some forums...

[ShackMaster]

Thanks for the updates.

I have a couple of requests that would be great if you could implement.

1. Where you have -{1} will be replaced with thread starter username, {2} with forum name... it would be great to have {3} will insert original thread title

2. Allow someway to insert "User Profile Fields". For example, we use a custom user profile field that is required and titled "Alias". It is field7. It would be nice to use that custom field as an replacment/insert instead of the {1} for username.

Thanks!

[creative-friend]

Yes, you can.

why does it says in read me file

I'm using this to automatically welcome users in my "Introductions" sub-forum

[koby411]

I tried using this. After posting the user gets the error:

Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

Also on the forum home it doesn't list in the last post info that the auto-reply user was the last poster.
