Thanks for the reply... yes I did try it, in fact, my plug-in's "Hook Location" was already set to register_activate_process.

And yet, the new thread is created as soon as the new member registers. Not after they validate their email, nor after a moderator approves the new user... right after they sign up. Which obviously makes this hack unusable for me. :(

Thanks for the help, anyway.

use this in your plugin


$title = "Welcome to the forum: " . $userinfo[username]. " from " . $userinfo[field2]; // The thread title

FANTASTIC...that works perfectly. Thank you VERY much.

I've had this installed for quite a while now - works great and I love it!! Thanks so much! *Installed* and *Nominated*

Always Bree

Just curious if anything else is out there like this? Being a newbie, and not a coder, all the additional tweaks to this MOD (in the previous 20+ pages of conversation) tends to make me :eek: Would love to have this work on my board, but not sure I could sift thru all the instructions, revisions, and suggestions and make it so. :(

I did that to try and fix the same problem but now get this error when I registered a test account to see if it worked.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':' in /home/babble/public_html/forum/register.php(1002) : eval()'d code on line 10

I am rewriting this slightly to work better with 3.6 and have control in the AdminCP

Awesome. Would be most excellent if you could set it so that the admin could choose precisely WHEN the Welcome Thread is created:

-after registration, or
-after email confirmation, or
-after user moderation (which is what I would choose, since my forum is user-moderated)

No one has been able to crack that nut yet, and if you do, I personally will be happy to send you a $ token of my appreciation!!

That would just be a BLESSING for us poor non-coders out here wanting this!? :up:

Thanks. I've been searching for this mod, glad I found it.
