This product is designed to send a visitor message to all new users once they have completed all verifications, and/or returning members (who have been inactive for a defined number of days). The author of the visitor message can be one or more users chosen at random which you define in the product's settings. The body of the messages are also defined in the settings, with designated replacements for the username of the recipient, your forum bbtitle, and the username of the author.

When a new member registers, they may be sent a visitor message to welcome them:

And when an existing member returns after a certain number of days, they can be sent a message to welcome them back:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=152907&stc=1&d=1437154605

Update: version 1.1


Database is updated so that the author of the visitor message will appear to have visited the profile page of the new user.


Update: version 1.2


Returning members (who have been inactive for a defined number of days) can now be sent a visitor message.


To Install:

Download and extract the attached .zip file.

In AdminCP go to Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product.

Click on "Choose File" and browse to the product .xml file that was packaged in the .zip file.

Click "Import"

You MUST set your settings to enable the mod. Each setting has an explanation of its use.

This add-on doesn't send an email, it posts a visitor message on the wall of a new/returning user.

vBulletin already is set up to allow you to auto-send an email or PM to a new user, but this add-on utilizes the visitor messaging system. :D

Okay good point, I initially thought there is no need to show a visitor message...we all know what that looks like. :D

Hey Mark,

From time to time this stops working and it won't post on the walls.

Hey Mark,

With no more than that to go on, I can't really offer any advice. It works without fail at MHB.

The settings are all good and everything. For some reason, it will post on some member walls, and then sometimes will not work. It's weird since it will work sometimes, and then other times will just stop and start up again.

There are two plugins associated with this product...try setting the execution order of both to 65535 so that they will execute after any others at the same hook. :)

Maybe for a future update, but an option that allows the ability to exempt certain usergroups from being welcomed. ;)
