BBR - Welcome Thread Upon Registration

[BBR-APBT]

I will no longer support vBulletin because of IB and the agile development, and they are not fixing bugs like they should. Instead they add bloat.

[BBR-APBT]

Planed Changes:
Add signature to first post. - Added in 2.02
Add new member intro with in welcome post. Most likely with a Quote from member profile field.
Add admin option to send PM of newly created thread.

These Planed changes have no time frame. I want to make sure this is working 100% before I go adding on to it.

[elwachiman]

where is the file??? you can use the previous version or is a new file, thanks

[BBR-APBT]

The file is there - product-welcomethread2.0.xml

[elwachiman]

because when I saw the item had not thanked files is very good this hack

[Zaiaku]

I was hoping that the iuser will be able to create their own actually with this.

[BBR-APBT]

I was hoping that the iuser will be able to create their own actually with this.

Why would the user to post a welcome post to them self?
You are thinking more along the lines of a introduction thread on register.

My plan is to include a introduction profile field with in a quote with the welcome post.

This would be great. I may use it until the Introduction at registration hack becomes available. or if it becomes available.

I can convert this over to do that fairly easy. I need to be sure this works as expected.

Thanks! This is a mod i have been waiting for.

Working on it now. I should have it released later tonight or tomorrow. It will have almost all the same options as this.
Except it will be posted by the new user.

No reported bugs should I remove this from beta.

thanks

The username isn't being listed on the thread. It stays $username. Love the idea behind this mod though.

The username isn't being listed on the thread. It stays $username. Love the idea behind this mod though.

I will have to look into that as it didn't with the beta versions. I will run it on my RC2 test board and see whats going on some time this evening.

Thank you for the bug report for RC2.


EDIT:
Fixed bug please re-import product-welcomethread2.01.xml

[VonDoom]

Hmm finally decided to give in a try this one out. I created a test account and it shows my Administrators Username as the new member instead of the user i created for testing? Maybe its an IP issue not sure..

[VonDoom]

NM it seems to be working on the second test..
Is there any way you can make the posticon work with double digits for custom icons ie:01 02
Default icon is the smiley face.
To chose a different icon, find out the icon number via the "Post Icon Manager" within the ACP
For random icons, seperate using commas. 1,2,3,4

[Veer]

thanks for the update.

[thunderclap82]

Thanks for the update! I'll install it and see what happens.

[BBR-APBT]

I will check into that today.

[BBR-APBT]

Is there any way you can make the posticon work with double digits for custom icons ie:01 02

I been looking into the double digit icons and can't seem to find out why it wont support double digit icons. I set the array to explode after the , so it should read i.e. 1,02,03 etc.
If any one sees the error let me know. so I can update it to work with double digits.

I am still looking in to it.

[Vaupell]

tx was missing this for vb4, used a similar mod on all my 3.x boards :D

[chsmith700]

BBR, were you ever able to get the Introduction thread from the registered member coded, I was going to start doing it by modifying the code for this mod, wasnt sure if you had already done it.

I need to it to pull custom profile fields down to the thread as well.

BBR let me know if you need a hand testing this. I know it cant be easy registering new accounts with every edit.

Changelog:
v2.02 - Bug fix for double digit post icons and fix for adding the signature to first post.

Known Bugs:
Multiple welcome post if you have it set to post the welcome thread after email activation. There is no known fix for this it happens when a user refreshes the activation page. If vBulletin would add another hook it would fix this error. I have to use register_activate_start but I should use register_activate_complete.

Edit:
It seems vBulletin is working on this with me. So we just may get the hook added to fix this error.

[ragtek]

@bbr-apbt check http://www.vbulletin-germany.org/showpost.php?p=53692&postcount=63 to solve the email activation bug;)

[BBR-APBT]

I see how you did it with unset but I would like to use a hook that is in a proper place.

The Hook I requested they add should of been there in the first place. Thanks for your suggestion. If they don't add the hook then I will use your fix. I am hoping they will add it though.

[dynamite]

If you put more than one userid in the thread creator, does every userid create a new thread or does it randomly pick just one to create the welcome thread? (ie. If there are 5 userid listed as thread creators, then every time a new person joins dies it create 5 new welcome threads or does it make just one?$

You can only have one thread creator. So it will randomly choose one of the 5 userid's you enter.

[BBR-APBT]

I was going to post as I saw a Welcome Unregistered user even though it is set to show after email activation. So any time frame on this fix?

I have a fix but you will have to add a hook in register.php.

I will release this version when I get done some running I have to do today.

It will require a manual edit and a file upload . This is only if you wish to use the post thread after email verification.

vBulletin should be adding this hook in 4.0.1. So this will be a temp fix.

[Charlie98902]

That's fine no worried just an annoying welcome thread premature :)

[Charlie98902]

I have a question I use HTML markup on usernames on my forum can I add a m in front of username or a different code structure??

Current - $username

Change to $musername

Even this would be nice to use - {musername}

Is that even possible?

[expeditionman]

out of curiosity, would there be a way to code this so that when the welcome thread is created, where it calls for the $username, is it possible to link the new member's name to their profile?

[GeorgeB85]

Is there any way to create a hyperlink so that the username of the new registered user links to their user profile?

[BBR-APBT]

I will look into that or including the link to the users profile in the welcome message its self.

Like if you turn the option on in the admin cp it will say.

View their profile here: http://www.link.com/to/profile.


I didn't forget about this, this is on the top of my list to get updated. I just busy with work and my own code.
I promise with in the next week it will be updated.


I have also been working on a calendar/forum integration.
I really need that so I can release my new vb4 site.

First off upgrade to 4.0.1
Would be nice if you suppled some more details. How can I help you get it working if you do not tell me the error.



For every one else I will be releasing a update for this tomorrow morning will fix all errors but will require manual edit.

Right now I am off to watch the Ravens play the Colts.

Besides the welcome unregistered this is working fine. Oh and the ability to use html markup on the name.

Sorry, brain fart, I am on 4.0.1 since the day it was released. I forget the error but I don't need help getting it going as I uninstalled it, thanks anyway.

Thanks this is a great idea and I figured out the problem and I reinstalled it but some of the new posts say hello unregistered instead of the users name and several times it has made a welcome post for people that have been registered for a while. Ant ideas? I have it set to post after email activation. Thanks.

Nice mod. I haven't tried yet, but I was wondering if this mod will allow me to add some code to the Thread Content boxes like:

if field1!="" { <br><br><font color="gold">RL Name: </font> $field1; }
if field2!="" { <br><br><font color="gold">Game Name: </font> $field2; } etc.

I plan to force new users to fill out certain profile fields and then use this mod to add it to their welcome thread. If it can't be done in the thread content boxes, I'll figure out how to do it in the code.

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, I will set it to post upon registration instead for now but for knowledge I am not having problems with it posting double at that moment but several welcome threads have popped up maybe a month after they activated their account and abour 50% of the welcome threads say welcome "unregistered" instead of the users name. Any idea what would cause that?

[Sarcoth]

I just had one say "unregistered" as well. :/

My plan is to release what I have running on my site now in the next day or two.

It has the fix for the unregistered post.
It has the option to include the introduction if you make the extra profile field.
Hopefully it will have the fix for the double digit icons that I thought I fixed once.

Then a few days after I am going to add the option to pm the member of the new thread.

Thread Moderation - No
Forum ID - 1
Post icon(s) with new thread - 7

Cheers, works now. It would be nice to have an option (yes/no) to redirect the User straight to his Welcome Thread

[BBR-APBT]

Just an update, I got busy at work but I should have a update by sunday.

[skor]

Would it be possible to have the username in the welcome post link to that user's profile? Thinking along the lines of an introduction, I thought it would be nice to have the username link to that user's profile so others can see more info on the member...or prompt the user to update their profile?

I totally forgot to add that as I was going to in this release. I will see if I can fit in with this release. I was packaging it up now but I will wait till tomorrow and try to get this added. So I will release the new code tomorrow evening (EST).

[BBR-APBT]

Sorry no update guys I promise its coming soon.

We got pounded by 3 foot of snow and I have been nothing but digging out for the last few days and needless to say there is no where to put it all. We are getting another storm Tuesday with another foot and more Thursday. So I do not know when I will have time to look at any of my mods at the current moment.

This hack went berzerk on me and started a bunch of threads welcoming "unregistered," as well as new registrants who had not yet clicked the confirmation e-mail, even though I had set it specifically to do that.

Is this a 4.0.1 glitch or is it the hack itself?

That works for me!!! One less lazy person to support. It isn't that you over looked it, You did not bother to read at all. It is in the very first post of this thread and several other places in the thread. I spend my time building these modifications and some of you can not take the time to read a thread. But you surly complain about a bug that has been reported several times.

I always have to answer the same question over and over.
We provide these mods free with free support the least some people can do is read the thread. That would save me time having to answer the same question over and over.

[Cplkaos]

Installed.

It works a treat, but I get 3 welcome messages for the same new user.

I think thats in hand and something to do with a hook with vB having read through the post. It wasnt that hard really to read through the posts!!!!!!

Will wait and see what happens.

Meantime I can delete the other 2 welcome threads causing no hassle.

Cheers BBR-APBT (strange name lol)

Keep up the good work!

Very nice mod :)

[Megatr0n]

BBR-APBT, the fix for the known bug highlighted in your opening post will be released when vB have added a hook you say in the next vB 4 release? What about for those running the 3.8 series?

This plugin works like a charm on the 3.8.4 so far but I am guessing they won't be making anymore changes to the 3.8 series except basic bug fixes so I am guessing we'll have to apply a fix which requires a manual edit? Correct?

thx but now i get this if i click on the making thread:

you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

For a future release, can you make it so their username in the thread is linked to their userprofile?

[bransworld]

This might be a dumb question, but I can't figure out what to enter for the ForumID that i want the thread to be in. I assume it is supposed to be a number, but I can't find any numbers associated with the Forums other than the Display order.

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

[BrightStar]

I dont know but my thread smilies icon are all over the place, sometimes it will start a thread with a sad :( smiley which isnt part of the smilies I've given in the option.

Please help on fixing the thread icon number.

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

When you browse a forum (but not browsing an individual thread or post) look at the URL in your browsers address bar. The number the prefixes the forum title is your forum number.

For example:- www.example.com/forumdisplay.php?p=25-My-Forum-SEO-Friendly-Title

Then the number 25 will be your forumid ;)

[Toni3055]

Hi, BBR!

This is an outstanding mod. Thank you!

I'm using 4.0.2 and having all of the issues mentioned when set to post after activation. Multiple posts, posts for Unregistered, and posts for people who aren't new. I see a hook called register_addmember_complete. I'm wondering if that's the new hook you mentioned, and, if so, can it be added somewhere else as a temporary fix? I know you're a busy guy so I don't want to ask when the official update is coming. ;)

Also, seconding (thirding?) the suggestion to automatically subscribe the new user to their welcome thread so they'll know it's there.

TY again for all of your hard work! :)

[BiZiMDiYaR]

Hi, So strange.. it opens threads and mentions welcome guest... as I assume guests don;t register, so is this a bug ?

I even did, after email conformation, to open the thread... but still a problem ;)

Please advise and thanks.

[BiZiMDiYaR]

Nothing on this.. ?

[Charlie98902]

The welcome guest is a bug. I had this installed and have been waiting for the fix then got tired of waiting so I uninstalled.

I've been using this mod for quite some time. It appears however with 4.03, the threads are placed into moderation? I have checked my forums and the user for any moderation issues, didn't find any. Just curious if I am the only one?

[cory_booth]

Ah I got it...
Appears the posts are coming in initially as "guests" and ofcourse guest postings are moderated. I see this is addressed in earlier posts, but I wasn't having symptoms until 4.03. Oh well...

[BiZiMDiYaR]

Hopefully this bug will be solved :).

[wcguy]

looks like a good mod. I'm marking this to download as soon as the bug is fixed.

Thanks BBR for the good work!

[TripleChin]

I too am having the same issues since I did the update to 4.0.3, which renders this mod disabled until this bug can be resolved.

I like the mod and look forward to a solution.

[dianna]

Is there a way to pick where I want the welcome thread to show up like instead of chit chat have it in my welcome are also for the thread not to be closed?

[sticky]

I have it set to not create a thread before e-mail activation but it is creating threads with the username "unregistered" anyway.

Any idea why?

[sticky]

Would setting this to create the thread without waiting for e-mail verification alleviate the issue of the mod created threads titled welcome "unregistered" ?

[GeorgeB85]

Would be awesome if this mod would link the username to the users profile!

Can anyone give an update on this problem.. ?

[GeorgeB85]

Has anyone been experiencing this mod not working recently? I have noticed for the last couple of sign ups, this mod isn't producing the automatic thread?

[Rene Kriest]

After installing under vb 4.0.3 I noticed that the addon opened randomly 3 to 4 threads to the same new member. One thread stated the new member's correct nick name ("Hello username!") while the other threads where opened different ("Hello Unregistered").

This is a pitty. I hope this addon gets an overhaul soon so that I can reinstall it.

[thrylos]

is there an option of making new post in an existing thread, instead of making a new thread?

if you could provide this option also, it'd be great! :)

I changed it to not use e-mail activation and it works fine.

This has happened since the first time this mod was here for vb4. I have it tagged hoping to see it get this resolved without template editing this and that and so on.

Hi, coder.

Your idea is brilliant but I did NOT get any username link by using BBcode.
Do you know this is a flaw? I have been waiting long time if this would fixed.

Thank you.

[goran424]

Great idea but just doesn't work the way it should, too many bugs and issues.
Still, appreciate coder's hard work.

UNINSTALLED

[GeorgeB85]

Does this not work with 4.0.4? It hasn't been for me.

[Peter_AUS]

Did not work for my install of 4.0.4 either, so uninstalled it, looking for one that does.

[MarekJan]

Hello

I have a question,my English is not so good,is it posible that more different postings from different team user´s be transformed in one treat?
like postings in the same treat as the Answer.
for example
user 1 posting 1
user 2 posting 2
user 3 posting 3
Thx

[GeorgeB85]

For some reason this is not posting threads when a new user joins my forum.

[Peter_AUS]

I have tried it now several times, and doesn't work for me, now using vbulletin 4.0.5 version.

[GeorgeB85]

Is there going to be a fix anytime soon? I looked, and I havent found another mod for this yet.

[GeorgeB85]

Can someone please fix this....this mod was really nice on my site.

[pantani]

nice one, will test this and wil come back to mark as installed :)

[gollo]

Is it possible to add a field like Biography from profil in the thread?
There is $username only

[caciocode]

Might be useful later, Tagged.

[BBR-APBT]

I have not upgraded in some while when I do I will upgrade it. I am still on 4.0.2 Sorry, I just do not have the time to keep up with vb and all there changes and bugs.

[dianna]

Is there any way to not have the threads closed? I like this feature on my site but would like to have other members to be able to comment on that welcome thread as well!

[tattooz]

Does this mod work for 4.0.6??

[CharlieDelta]

It has the option to include the introduction if you make the extra profile field.
Then a few days after I am going to add the option to pm the member of the new thread.

I have been waiting for something like this for a long time. Do you plan on releasing it in the near future?
Great work!

[CharlieDelta]

Bump

[GeorgeB85]

This does not work with 4.0.7

[BBR-APBT]

I will update for 4.1 I feel most of the bugs will be pushed out of vb by then and I can make this work properly.

[CharlieDelta]

Thanks mate! Thank you for all your hard work.

That is your right, but to be honest, if VB sticks with what they said on the release of 4.0, where anyone who wants 4.1 has to repay the licensing fees, I don't think many will. They shoved 4.0 out within just a few months of releasing it, and a lot of people run free boards, with no income from them.

However, like I said, it is your right.

You will not have to repay for 4.1.

If you payed for 4.x you will have VB up until vb 5.x.

You are entitled to any thing they release 4.1.0, 4.1.6, 4.2.x, 4.3.x.

Trust me I am not spending any more money with VB, unless they make a hell of a turn around. I do have to admit it is getting better. I want a copy of that other software and I might just like that way better. who knows I never tried it yet.


P.S. I also run a free board and pay for everything and I run no ads as I hate them.

That is right. My apologies, wasn't thinking for a second.

What other software were you referring to?

Yeah, it is getting a bit better.

[Kolektor]

by looking on the codes, this will likely will work on 3.8 version.

[dontpanic]

I will update for 4.1 I feel most of the bugs will be pushed out of vb by then and I can make this work properly.
Just wondering if you were still planning to update this wonderful mod for 4.1?

[BBR-APBT]

yup I wish vBulletin would stop releasing so fast and release a nice version with more then 90 bugs fixed. now with 4.1.1 and all the template changes. it's making lots of work for us coders.

working on upgrading my site this weekend if I have time.

I really do sympathize on how poorly IB has been developing vBulletin

I know A LOT here will not be quick to update to 4.1.1. So I really hope you still update for 4.1 its self.

I know it seems like a lot of us here only post to complain about how our mods are not working or request for features to be added.

So I guess I just want to say, thanks for all your hard work. It's not an easy job you undertake, but there are those of us who really do appreciate the work you and others here put into things. :)

[dontpanic]

I agree with OldSchool. Many thanks to you BBR and all of the other talented coders who put together these wonderful extensions to vBulletin.

[DAMINK]

Installed on 4.1.0 PL2 and it works perfectly.
I asked for something like this some time ago.
So happy to see this available.
Great work. Thankyou.

[dontpanic]

Installed on 4.1.0 PL2 and it seems that for every actual new user thread made, another is made welcoming "unregistered".

[OldSchoolDSL]

Installed and testing

Thanks for joining and confirming... But feel free to have a look around while you're there. We're the only true uncensored community online. ;)

Installed, tested, and works.

4.1 PL2

[GeorgeB85]

(just need someone to join and see if it works)

Create a fake user account to see if it works, then delete the account.

[OldSchoolDSL]

Seems as though its not 100% compatible with anyone who registers and picks a non-English language as their default language.

Or at least it could be a conflict with vB Enterprise Translator

Ended up having a thread titled....

We have a new member - &lt;!--vBET_SNTA--&gt;&lt;!--vBET_SNTA--&gt;shania&lt;!--vBET_ENTA--&gt;&lt;!--vBET

Same issue. Getting many "Welcome Unregistered" threads.

[GeorgeB85]

This isn't working for me in 4.1.1 beta 1

[OldSchoolDSL]

Same issue. Getting many "Welcome Unregistered" threads.

Confirmed

Only 2 so far, but it does happen.

4.1 PL2

[GeorgeB85]

Confirmed

Only 2 so far, but it does happen.

4.1 PL2

More than I can say for me, so feel lucky!

[lycheepassion]

Thanks, one thing I didnt get is why it said WELCOME UNREGISTERED? It worked great 1x then said that.

Mod is still working

4.1.1

But I still do get the unregistered error sometimes

[BirdOPrey5]

I was asked to code a mod that would redirect users to their welcome thread created by this mod on registration. I have released it here. (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=258035)

Like this mod my add-on is compatible with both 3.8 and 4.x.

[madmaca]

Getting a lot of "welcome unregistered" threads created by this :(

i see this mod is no longer supported or being developed. Is there a similar mod available that works with VB 4.1.x ??
