I figured this out but I will have to make a new hook for you. No worries I'll write it all up.

Hip hip hurray! :) :up:

I never saw an answer to this. Did anybody figure it out? Would be great to have a link to the new members profile in the text of the message.

I tried this....but it's not working:

<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$bbuserinfo[userid]">View Profile</a>

hmmmmm.....I guess nobody has done this. I'll keep trying.

This is not currently supported

Had to tweak it by sifting through posts on here, but finally got it to work. If anyone needs the .xml I have PM me and I will post it. I have it starting the thread after activation.....

I really do not understand that response. There are many things that are not currently supported, that's why many people work on stuff like this and is why many hacks continue to evolve.

Clarify something for me, is this 'all' you need to install this MOD? And is it compatible with vB v3.6.4?

I'm with you, dknelson.

yes, and yes!!!!

Just figured out (by accident) that you'd actually done this now! Thanxx!

BlackScorpions version still didn't quite work for me. I had to tweak the title code, etc. to get it to actually add the username correctly.

I have only this product installed (neither the original or Lil7rocket's version worked for me) and it currently posts after the user verifies their registration through email and it does not put the thread into moderation. Our board is 3.6.1

Greetings!

I tried numerous versions and I receive the following errors (note: all I changed from the products was the user ID and Forum IDs)

*Fatal error:* Existing data passed is not an array
Called set_existing in /forums/includes/functions_databuild.php on line 200

in */includes/class_dm.php* on line *235*

Board is 3.6.7

And thats why people get mad when questions don't get answered in unsupportive threads. :)
Some do. Most don't

Well add me to the list of folks that don't get mad. I will continue to make suggestions and ask about features that are not yet supported. I often get very good answers. Not everybody feels the same way that you do.

Im sorry, Im not understanding that line, anyway seems like we are going off topic of this thread.

but i havent allowed to post users without activation of their account.
:(

Is this working on 3.6.7? Thanks!

Read a page back ;)

Lol thanks I think going back to read.

Well, I installed this but had to disable it. It caused a Parse Error. As soon as I disabled it the error went away. This is the error I did get when it was enabled.

I have been using it for nearly 1 month now on my vb 3.5.4 without any hic-ups. We get about 10-30 new members and hence Welcome Threads per day.

I am using 3.6.7

That is likely the cause,

Yes but if you see above I asked if it was working on 3.6.7. Anyhow, there are 3 different versions through out this thread. I finally got the last one on page 25 to work. So for anyone interested in using this on 3.6.7 it does work.

Page 25? I only have 4 pages in this thread. (Posts per page is a customizable setting in User CP.)


So which POST is it? Thanks...

3.6.7 in this post:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=250

is anyone going to take this over to 3.6.8

and make it easy to install

like make options in admin cp to alter template and user id of poster

bet it would get used more

marked install

thankyou

This doesn't seem to work for 3.6.8.....

Try this one it works in 3.6.8

HI, I just installed the original plug-in as product and worked fine.

I was able to edit both the plau-in and the template.

Now I would like to improve litlle things like:

1) how to make it choose a Smile for the post in the title?

2) I am using pure text in template but how to use the codes for bold and colored fonts?

If I enter like this:

Welcome $username to English Coffee ?!!!! Thanks for joining us!

I get error when saving:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/english/public_html/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3596) : eval()'d code on line 1

Any solution for this?

Not really. There's no welcome template to edit.

I would really like this hack but when I download it here it come as just a read file. Where do I add it in the admin cp? I am really new so be gentle with the explanation ;)

works on vb3.7.b3 :)

Any updates for 7.7.0. ??

its not been supported since 3.5 but it works on 3.7.6 beta

Hi,

For some reason when a new thread is created, thats user's post count dosent go up. Does anyone know of a way to fix this at all?

Very Nice Works on 3.7.0

thank you very much
but it does nothing on my 3.6.9 installation :(

sorry, deinstalled.
No clue what to configure and/or set to make this mod working... Maybe you should post a step by step installation WHAT AND WHERE EXACTELY to change or configure as I (and for sure not me alone) do not understand how this shall work and where to set any settings for this mod.
Examples:
-> where to set in which forum the thread will be started?
-> where to set, WHO is going to start the thread (username settings...)
and so on and so on....
no, sorry, deinstalled after 3 minutes...
