how do i make it show the members profile fields in the welcome post?

I try this but its not working, and i think this has to be possible if it can get the users name inside the post.

Code:

<if condition="$post[field1] != ''"><div>$post[field1]</div></if>

<if condition="$post[field2] != ''"><div>$post[field2]</div></if>

<if condition="$post[field3] != ''"><div>$post[field3]</div></if>

<if condition="$post[field4] != ''"><div>$post[field4]</div></if>

<if condition="$post[field5] != ''"><div>$post[field5]</div></if>

<if condition="$post[field6] != ''"><div>$post[field6]</div></if>

<if condition="$post[field7] != ''"><div>$post[field7]</div></if>

<if condition="$post[field8] != ''"><div>$post[field8]</div></if>

<if condition="$post[field9] != ''"><div>$post[field9]</div></if>

<if condition="$post[field10] != ''"><div>$post[field10]</div></if>

<if condition="$post[field11] != ''"><div>$post[field11]</div></if>

<if condition="$post[field12] != ''"><div>$post[field12]</div></if>

I'm assuming that the profile fields don't work cause all the $post stuff isn't active when the plugin runs. However, I have no idea how to fix it. So yeah, Im not much help. :D

Just a bassic hello. Welcome to the board. read the rules, buy a subscription to remove the ads and get more featuers. I have no HTML included because I don't need it from what I see.(Sorry to lazy to post it.)

I have a small board so I have only had this tested twice. A member joined as Infamous and the post was created using HIS name, not mine.

However I registered under a name and the post was created with my user name.

any way to make it so that the new member is the one who makes the thread auto-maticaly.. to be welcomed.... holla

C_P	10-21-2005 01:15 AM

Here is what I did, you can choose to do as you wish.
1. I created a Welcome User Group
2. I created a user "CP Greeter" and assisgned this user ID to that group as it's primary user group.
3. I created a sub-forum called "welcome" and allowed html code.
4. I edited the Amy's VERY nice xml code to reflect the user ID of CP Greeter and the forum ID.

This way, when a user registers, the forum post is automagically created under my CP Greeter profile and he welcomes our new users!
See it in action here:

That's a different hack. Unfortunately, the guy gave it basically the same name as this one.

C_P	10-21-2005 01:22 PM

Hey Amy, This does work great but it seems to have the same IP as "CP Greeter".
Am I correct in stating this new thread to welcome the new user is created under same IP as the new user and not the official greeter?

amykhar

10-21-2005 07:18 PM

Yes. Given that the "greeter" account is being accessed through the new member's browser.

Here are the setup variables from my plug in. Yet, this hack ALWAYS starts the thread under the new members name, and not my name. Any idea what's going on?

PHP Code:


		
			
  // Setup Variables
    $forumid = 36; // The forum id that you want the thread posted in
    $postuserid = 1; // The Userid of the poster
    $postusername = "Xplorer4x4"; // The username of the poster
    $title = "Hello " . $username . " welcome to XP."; // The thread title

i want to arrange setting from vbulletin setting section..that hack (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...3&page=1&pp=15) can do it..bu it does not write user name by me...it writes by newuser..
your hack can do it it writes by me (poster) but when i change the welcome message ,it is very hard to arrange..do u understand what i am saying..

if it is possible..it will be perfect..

Don't thank me, Amy did all the hard work. :P

grc	10-29-2005 07:22 PM

This is a great add on -- but I need some help understanding how to keep the welcome thread from being posted until after the new user has been approved by the moderator.

How can I do 'dat?

Thanks in advance.

Here is what I tried -- but it didn't work:
I created a new user named Welcome Committee.
I made that user a regular user and made that the user who posts the welcome message.

I then set the forum up so that new threads had to be approved my a moderator. I thought that would do it -- that the moderator who approved new users would just click on thread approval and it would work.

But, no joy. It just went right ahead and posted the new user instead.

Surely there is a way though.

Then you have permissions set for that group to be able to delete their own threads.

no.it wasnt him, it was mine thread (welcome thread) (permissions are ok)
do u understand?

The welcome thread is the ONLY thread the person can delete?

(This hack would have nothing to with permissions, so I think you have some other problem.)

If you're familiar with coding and the plugin system, moving the plugin to register_activate_process and wrapping the code below around the plugin should work. That's how I have it running on my board, but is UNTESTED on Amy's hack...

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['posts'] == '0')

{





}

I seem to be missing something. Earlier in the first few posts Amy mentioned two versions - one for notice as person registers, and one for after the person has activated their account. The latter is what I am looking for.

Anyone have it or know what to change on the welcome thread upon registration?

Actually, this mod could be heaps better.....

Can't someone make one that works like this mod request?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=100940

Far, Far more useful and less robotic I think.

Anyone that has used this hack - Has it improved newbies actually replying to it and getting involved with your forum? Or does it just create loads of threads which get ignored.

This hack sounds good, just want to see if it's actually effective.

Thanks.

fly	11-17-2005 01:45 PM

I use it as a noob jail. They can only post in this auto-gen thread, until they prove that they are not idiots/spammers/etc. It works well for me.

Yes please!! If at all possible so it will be posted after the person activates their account.

"The change the hook part is used only if you want to run this after the user activates their account. Give me a couple of secs, and I'll export that version and zip it up for people to download."

Would be nice if this hack added a little textbox so guest that are registering can add thier own introduction text and then it would be posted like it's suppose to.

Just a thought! ;)
