It's all good I think this will work out a little bit better that creating threads that may only have replies from active members, especially if the new member decides not to be involved in the site.

I would love to see this hack incorporated with this intro/welcome hack, which is what we're currently using on our 4.1.2 forum.

I'm not really a fan of forcing people to do anything.

Downloaded and saw your code for redirect. It is more complicated than I need. I want to redirect after registration to the Paid Subscriptions process, as all the members will need to pay to join.
I am not very familiar with vBulletin code or PHP for that matter and I don't want to mess with the way things work.
If I just make a fairly simple change like this, do I need to make a formal setup as a mod....it seems too complicated.
Since you know what you are doing would I be able to get your help with this?
Thanks!

If yo want to force people to pay to join this isn't the mod for you.

Check out this mod by Lance for Hire: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=263521

I have downloaded and installed this Lancer for Hire mod, thanks but it did not function for some reason on my forum (and I tried everything). My forum owners also want the registration first and Paylpal second. Lance for Hire has those in the opposite order.

I thought you would be interested in assisting with a simple (or at least what I perceive to be simple) change.
The purpose for the forum is not for fun or to try to get a lot of users and it's purpose in not to make money.
It is for doctors breaking ground on a new type of treatment for neurological disorders to discuss and share ideas and findings. The low cost to join is to cover the hosting...Members would be 50 in number at most. So, in this case, it is considered that those who will join will do so for professional reasons and many of them will be invited to join.
I am guessing I should post a request in the thread for paid mods then.
Just thought you might be interested.
Thanks

Perhaps this mod would better fit your needs- redirect to any page AFTER registration: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=235509

I could modify my mod but I don't think it's needed.

Wow, this is excellent!
I didn't find this one when I was looking. (but there's sure a lot out there!)
I will install and let you know how it turns out.
Thanks so much!

I installed this suggested mod but it also does not have the complete function I am looking for.
No matter when you do the redirect, the new member can just ignore the paid subscription and enjoy full membership privileges once they have activated by the link in the email.
The code needs to be a little more sophisticated and turn on a flag when the subscription has been paid. This same flag needs to be checked before member is activated. I think I need the paid subscription part to actually be a part of the registration process, even on the same screen and then if they don't pay, they can't even get an activation email.
That gets a little more complicated but thanks for suggesting the redirect! It was worth a try.

This is exactly what I was looking for!
Working great on my 4.1.4 board. Excellent mod. Rated 5!
