I'm still new at this but with the product manager, you can install phrases, templates, plug-ins and other things all in one file where as (if I get this right) the plug-in will install only the code needed for the mod. Don't quote me on that, though. ;)

It is just flat out not sending the pm.. I have signed up as a new user and they get no pm.... What am I missing?

I did this:

Imported the file using the Product Manager
Went to User Registrations Options and put my userid 2613 in there...

Signed up as a new user and nothing....
Using RC1

Did you create the new User through ACP?

No I used IE (Firefox primary) signed up through the normal process and recieved no PM...

nice plugin :) thx

@BrentWilson
Hmm ... do you have PM Reception ticked as defaulr registration option?
Does Usergroup Registered have PM permissions?
Did you activate the account?
Do you moderate new users and approved the account?

1) Yes
2) Yes
3) Yes
4) No I dont moderate new users.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled many times and it just wont send it :(

Strange. Should definitly work.
Can you proviade me with an ACP and FTP account per PM?

Edit: I guess you did, but to be absolutely sure:
You did enter the Userid and not the Username, right?

Yes I put userid...

and I will pm you the info

Looks like a good plugin , but I can't get it to work.
I imported the xml file and check active on the plugin list.
Is there anything else I have to do?
Do I have to edit the plugin with php code?

There was a slight Problem that caused PMs not being send in certain cases.
Everybody who was affected by this, please try if it does work with Version 1.0.3 now.

It now works for me. :)

Hello,

Where do we import the xml from? I am in the acp and don't see where to do that. (I am running 3.5 RC 1)

Plugin System / Manage Products

Hello,

Thanks, I had found it after downloading another mod. It had the instructions for finding it in there. lol

I didn't get this one to work, but it isn't an issue.

Did you enter the Userid?

Hello,

I did enter the userid. I even uninstalled it, and then reinstalled it. Not sure why, but this is the only mod I had trouble with.

I may give it a whirl later on again and see if there are any settings effecting it.

Hello,

I uninstalled this modification again, and then went through all of my vboptions to see what was enabled. All of my settings are as they will be on the live server. So I reinstalled this modification, and entered "1" as the user to send the pm from. I then left the acp, and logged out on my forums. Then I registered a new user. I actually added 3 new users. Not a single one of them recieved a PM. I don't know what else to try. lol I will just add my "Rules and Regulations" note to the welcome email that the site sends.

1) Which Version did you try?
2) Did you activate the new accounts?

Hello,

The problem, in my opinion, has something to do with the "verify email". It could be the verify email feature itself that has problems, I don't know.

What I do know is that when I disabled verifying emails, it worked as it should. lol

I had one of my admins join the test site and had the verify email feature on. It allowed him to verify it, etc. Then he logged out and came back. When he returned, it didn't recognize him as a member and gave him an incorrect username error. He was entering it exactly as he had, and it didn't work. So I turned off the verify emails, and had him re-register. He then had no problems and even recieved the PM!

Are there any bugs that people are experiencing with the verify email function?

Odd.
Does this also happen when this Hack is disabled?
And again: Which Version did you try?

Hello,

Honestly, I didn't think of disabling it and checking the email function! I downloaded and installed this before I typed my first post. I believe it is the most current version.(Downloaded yesterday!)

Depends on when you downloaded it yesterday.
Safest would be to redownload and test again (also test with Hack disabled)

when i upload the .xml file from my computer its give me this error :

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/functions.php on line 772

I am on the RC2 version

what does it mean ???

It most likely means that you are trying to import this as a Plugin when it actually needs to be imported as a Product (common mistake).

you right ^_^

i'm sorry

Added a FAQ ;)

Also, as it seems to be working flawlessly, I don't class it Beta any longer.

Works great. Thanks

If anyone is curious, I have a default pm that that links them to the FAQ, Rules and Introduction forum (if you have one set up) ;)

KirbyDE !!!!! :banana: :bunny:

Thank You.

Would it be possible to adapt this so it sends a thankyou pm to people who join a premium members usergroup instead of when they first join ?

great job!!

Installed, haven't had a chance to confirm that it's working properly yet. Thanks!

thanks for all

German language package and a small German guide

@7beebi
Thank you for your contribution.
But please remove the translated Product XML and just provide a Language XML/localized readme.
This makes it easier to support.
Thank you.

@Metro Man
Thank you for your Contribution.
I fixed the XML (it was a complete language XML) and added it to the first Post.

sorry, thx for fix

Installed worked great, and took me about 5 seconds to install.
