I have been really swamped in work lately, so I haven't even gotten around to upgrading my own boards to 2.2.2 yet.
At the moment, I am not sure when I will get around to look at it.
Sorry. Will do it as soon as I find the time, tho.

That's cool, I can wait (for a little ;))

Awesome!

Very nice Hack, I would love to use it, but I also have the Email verification turned off and don't know where to put the code in register.php :(
Please help

*bump*

I'd like to know aswell

same here. anyone?

I hope Sparkz doesn't mind, but I updated this hack since I wanted to use it.

-works with 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 no problem
-works whether or not you have email activation turned on
-uses templates instead of text files

There is a slight issue with this hack;

if a user who registers chooses not to receive stuff from admins, it still sends a PM to them upon activiation. I received a rather rude message from a user about this; is there any fix?

If a user is going to write rude messages to you about a welcome PM, then they are not worth having around any way. How lame.

Anyway, I don't think the option you are referring to will limit Private Messages in any way.



*****2.2.3 Issue*****

Anyone get this to work in 2.2.3 yet? It's giving me errors on line 593 in register.php. Here is the line that's giving it fits. There could be more but I have to fix this one first (Line is IN BOLD):

// send default PM to new user
$originating_user = 1;
$PM_file = "admin/default_pm.txt";
$fp = fopen <http://www.php.net/fopen>($PM_file, 'r');
$PM_title = str_replace <http://www.php.net/str_replace> ('$username', $username, fgets <http://www.php.net/fgets>($fp, 4096));
$PM_content = str_replace <http://www.php.net/str_replace> ('$username',$username,fread <http://www.php.net/fread>($fp, filesize <http://www.php.net/filesize> ($PM_file)));

$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO privatemessage (privatemessageid,userid,touserid,fromuserid,title ,message,dateline,messageread,folderid) VALUES (NULL,$u,$u,$originating_user,'".addslashes <http://www.php.net/addslashes>(htmlspecialchars <http://www.php.net/htmlspecialchars>($PM_title))."','".addslashes <http://www.php.net/addslashes>($PM_content)."',".time <http://www.php.net/time>().",0,0)");
// send default PM to new user

can it modified to send the PM to the normal user depend on his post NO.?

ex.
if the user get 50 post >> he will get defult PM
" thank you for your posts after another 20 post more your titel will be chang to Tyro Hacker and you will get star "

thank you
