Not yet. I just haven't had time to sit down and dig into it. I'm trying to not use the function that I used to start the new thread because that function seems to have changed behavior in RC2. Instead, I'm trying to go through the datamanager instead. But, the directions for using it aren't the clearest in the world and I just don't have the time to sit and tinker with it at the moment.

After I posted that, I saw that thread. Thanks!

Hmmm, I'm not sure that plugin will work for me. I need to be able to PM the new user the thread id, so the hacks have to be combined...

Can I just copy the PM code into your hack? I'm guessing not, as Kirby's is a product not a plugin...

That's what I meant when I said combine. It won't be a direct copy and paste. You'll have to make changes to the code.

Okay, I'll take a look at it. Thanks! I'm new to this whole plugin/product thing.

Kinda offtopic, but can you or someone explain the difference between a product and a plugin?

A plugin contains a snippet of code that hooks into a file and executes at the same time.

A product is a group of plugins, templates, phrases, and queries grouped together as one functional modification.

hmmm

The thread title doesn't seem to get updated on the main forum display (index) page, just the poster's name gets updated.

I got following error on RC2:
I tried to install it as a product.

where it must be put the fà rows xlm like activating itself? :ermm:

I have installed the plugins but it does not work you explain like making it to me to work thanks....

It doesn't work under RC2, as it is said before here in posts.

Yes it does. Worked for me before I upgraded...

Yes it does. It just has the nasty side effect of throwing things into the moderated queue as well.

Not sure if this has been discussed, but how about forcing a new user that has signed up to post in the Introductions(or whatever yours is called) forum before they can access anything else? Simply have a box in the registration pages for their chance to post this Intro thread(show at registration as a required field). Feedback?

You don't need a mod for that.
1. Create a new usergroup. Give it the permissions of your registered usergroup. Move all your registered users with at least one post to that group.
2. Change the permissions of your registered usergroup so that the only forum they can post in is your welcome forum.
3. Set up a promotion so that once they have the first post, they are moved to the new user group that you created.
Done.

I also found this is happening with me as well, plus there is no thread title, any ideas?

*update* thread title appears after someone replies to the initial post.
But it still shows there is no threads. My intro forum on my test forum where i installed this shows 0 threads and 1 post, but there is 2 threads in it.

I'm getting a database error...

For some reason, the post wasn't made, which throws that error. I really need to zap this attachment since RC2 seems to have broken some things and I don't have time right now to play with the code.

I just got the same error. However, it worked for me yesterday, so it doesn't seem to happen every time...

edit: n/m I see you pulled it already.

edit again:
It's obviously this line that is doing it:
is there really supposed to be a period after username=' ? That results in the name being '.flypaper' instead of 'flypaper'. Please excuse my ignorance if wrong, I'm not even a beginning level of coder. kekekeke

the download is missin...?

Hi

I ?m working on a site for an international non-profit organization. The online community will be key, and so we?re looking at various ways to incorporate member to member feedback into the site. Before beginning this research, we planned a hack that we thought might do the trick. It?s outlined below. However, we would like to ask if you all think that other, existing hacks might be equally/more functional. Here was our idea:

First, one would create a forum exclusively for positive feedback.
The hack would then:

1) Create a new thread for each user upon registration. The thread could be named after the user in some standard format. (amykhar already did this, it seems: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...light=feedback Would her hack work as part of this scheme?)
2) Paste the URL for that user?s feedback thread directly into his/her signature, perhaps just after ?Feedback at:?

We thought this might be a very elegant way to incorporate feedback into VB, as the forum?s features would very functional. For example:

It would be easy to click from a users post to his/her feedback thread, because the link would be in the signature. Likewise, it would be easy to jump to or from their profile, which would facilitate making contact.
Because the forum is only for positive feedback, ranking by post would have meaning.
Similarly, hot threads would point to people who have done a lot of good work recently.
The report bad post feature could be used to report the presence of negative feedback.
We?re assuming that everyone would subscribe to their own feedback thread and so would be automatically notified.

Thanks

Where's the file from the first post?

Looks like she pulled it to work on some things

"For some reason, the post wasn't made, which throws that error. I really need to zap this attachment since RC2 seems to have broken some things and I don't have time right now to play with the code."

Good question...:ermm:

Got an update Amy?

I dont see why you need to remove the whole file when you're editting it... sigh

I get the same error since i upgraded to 3.5 gold. I had to uninstall it to stop getting errors.

Please fix it soon ~___~

I NEED this hack ;D

It works now if you NEED it. You just have to clear the moderation queue from time to time.

I am sure it does, but we can not install it, if it is not atached. ;)

sorta. About half the time I get a DB error when someone tries to confirm after email activiation. The error never allows them to confirm, nor is a thread created.

Was the file taken down? Can you please re-attach the file, or is there a problem?

Yes, there was a problem.

hope u have this for 3.5 gold :D

I think I have fixed this by using the thread creation process talked about over here. So if you're lightly familiar with coding like myself, you may be able to fix this. Hopefully amy will fix and re-release this soon, as I have no idea what the rules are on releasing what I did (since its really her stuff).

Please Amy attach the file :'(

Bump for zip file.

I modified the original code and got it working. However, I do not know if I can post what I have, since it's Amy's hack...

how do we download this ?? :S

You could ask in the feedback forum. I think it is ok as long as your not posting it as a whole new hack and only ataching it to this thread.

Need someone to release this... I'm waiting on launching a new domain until I have this.
