Auto PM new members?

[mojotim]

Anyone have any ideas on how to do this? I know there is an auto-email new users, but I think an auto PM would be better.

Search for this code in the register.php:


if ($verifyemail) {
$getjoindate=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT joindate FROM user WHERE userid='$userid'");
$activateid=$getjoindate[joindate];

eval("\$message = \"".gettemplate("email_activateaccount",1,0)."\";");
eval("\$subject = \"".gettemplate("emailsubject_activateaccount",1,0)."\";");

mail ($email,$subject,$message,"From: \"$bbtitle Mailer\" <$webmasteremail>");

}



After it at this code:


if (!$verifyemail && $welcomeuser) {
$fromuserid = "1";
$message = "Insert here your Welcome Message!";
$title = "Insert here your Subject of the PM!";
$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO privatemessage (privatemessageid,userid,touserid,fromuserid,title ,message,dateline,showsignature,iconid,messageread ,folderid) VALUES (NULL,$userid,$userid,$fromuserid,'".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($title))."','".addslashes($message)."',".time().",'0','1',0,0)");
}

Hmm, I changed the forumuserid to my id# and change the text to what I wanted sent.
No go, no info put into database.

The thread is over 2 years old, vBs code has changed since then - better to start a new thread:)

There already is a hack in the database that does this. It will send a private message to all new members. Just search for it if you're looking for it, you'll find it.
