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


Versions:
v1.0 - Aug 25. 2007.
-Initial release
v1.1 - May 03. 2008.
-Compatible with vBulletin 3.7
-Minor bugs fixed
v1.2 - Apr 24. 2009.
-New: Three different Sets of subjects/messages to use in different forums
-New: Set if signature will be shown in reply
-Fixed several minor bugs and compatibility issues, optimized for better performance

Hey, this is pretty cool, thanks. Going to install right now.

Just a thought, could this be adapted to Visitor Messages?

Edit: Can we make the time to wait setting random?

Edit 2: Doesn't seem to display the sig of the user posting the message, is that possible? See this (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1714050&postcount=9).

Also, nominated.

Not seeing user sig here either. Neat mod!

(I first hardcoded the sig into the welcome messages themselves, but then realized people would be getting an email with the hardcoded sig in it)

You have to make a change to one of the plugins, "Cyb - Auto Reply - RW". Look for

$postman->set('threadid', $car_threadid);
$postman->set('userid', $car_poster);
$postman->set('allowsmilie', true);
$postman->set('visible', true);And add in

$postman->set('showsignature', 1);Directly under

$postman->set('allowsmilie', true);So your $postman->set section should look like this...

$postman->set('threadid', $car_threadid);
$postman->set('userid', $car_poster);
$postman->set('allowsmilie', true);
$postman->set('showsignature', 1);
$postman->set('visible', true);
Worked for me.

Also, it only works on new posts, all your previous posts wont show a sig unless you modify the post and select the option to add a sig.

When I look at the forum that is suppose to have auto reply enabled it turns the template entirely white and says:

vBulletin Message
The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 5 characters.

This does come in handy for introductions and welcoming members, also saves me a lot of time from copying & pasting!

Hi,

I have installed your mod, but I found out that if you have a setting that you can post only 1 post every 15 seconds and in a forum for example two new threads have been posted within 5 seconds and I do a refresh on the forum overview I get an error stating that I can't post another until after those 15 sceonds. So it can't auto reply on two threads that fast and gives an error when you do a refresh on the forum overview ... do you have any idea how to fix this?

i noticed that all the auto replys are doing this, not just Cybernetec's mod.
could it be because everytime the bot replys to a new member the bot members
IP becomes the same, so when you go to test the auto reply, 2 IP's are clicking different
links. i honestly can work out why the Bots IP changes to the IP of the member its replying
to. if you go clicking around the forums waiting for the bot to reply, the screen goes white and sometimes says "you have to wait 20 seconds to post again" if you dont touch a thing its fine most of the time. mmm its just a thought m8, im not complaining, i have most of your other hacks, there great thx.

Fantastic add on!

I have a question about it though.

I am trying to use this with another add on on vb.org called easy forms, but its not working as I had hoped.

What i'm trying to do is this:

1.) Easy form creates a form which creates a new thread in a sub forum.

2.) Auto reply then replies to the thread that was created by easy form.

The problem is, auto reply doesnt seem to realize that easy form created a thread. I tested manually posting into the sub forum where easy form creates threads, and the auto reply worked just fine.

Do you happen to know of a way to make it so Auto reply can tell that easy form created a thread?

Thanks in advance!

edit: I posted on the thread for easy forms and I got an answer there! its working just fine now. =)

"Don't reply to threads started by (comma separated UserID list)" <-- Any way rather than UserID, this can be UserGROUP as well?

Also, possible when you create a thread, the reply will show instantly for the user when he gets back to his thread after his reply? So he won't need to refresh to see it.

can u please make it work this way :
only if some words that i choose are in the message (first message) , just then, the auto reply will be actiavated, and reply..?

it will be much more better and helpful mod this way.

Great idea.

Also... I see the option to "Reply to unanswered threads only". Is there any way to have it only reply if the "Who will post replies (comma separated UserID list)" has not already posted?

Sometimes I like to manually reply, while other times I just let the auto reply work for me. However, if I manually reply before the auto reply replies, the auto reply replies for me again, which is less than desirable.

Thanks!

Any help would be great thanks.

For some reason it keeps posting with the old message i set.
I installed it last night & it worked fine, then today it's posting a message that i set months ago, when i first tried the mod...
I've edited the phrase but it keeps posting the old message.
Do anyone know how to update the phrase, or remove it & make a new one?

Im using Dutch and English, Dutch is standard, but the autotext in in English sometimes, while the user still uses Dutch with the forum language.
