Hmmmmm....Kevin, when does the email get sent out to the user? I ran a test twice by registering the username of test and I didn't receive the welcome email. It is set to YES in the control panel and the hack installation was successful. It was a breeze to install. Any ideas?

If you use email verification, it should get sent after the email is verified. If not, it should get sent right after registration.

Double-check that you saved and reuploaded register.php (I forgot to do this at first...;)).

Other than that, I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work...You said it appeared in the control panel, which is right. And it's set to yes, which is right.

Hmm...one thing to try. On lines 426 and 498, which should look like this:

Code:

mail ($newuseremail,$subject,$message,"From: \"$bbtitle Mailer\" <$webmasteremail>");

change it to this

Code:

mail($newuseremail,$subject,$message,"From: \"$bbtitle Mailer\" <$webmasteremail>");

I can't imagine that would make a difference, though...

Verifying now....code is all there in register.php. I'll try making the code change you suggest and see what happens. I registered two separate test users last night and did not receive the email. :(

RobAC

04-13-2001 01:23 PM

It worked! Taking that space out after "mail" in the code worked. Don't ask me why, it doesn't make any sense, but I've tested it twice with email verification turned off and on and it worked both times.

However, there is something strange...with email verification turned off, the message starts out as expected:

Welcome test, (test is the username)

With email verification turned on, the message received after verification starts out like this:

Welcome ,

Any ideas?

On line 493 of register.php, try changing

Code:

                          $emails = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT email,username FROM user WHERE userid='$u'");

Code:

$emails = $DB_site->query("SELECT email,username FROM user WHERE userid='$u'");

RobAC

04-13-2001 01:41 PM

No email sent. :(

tubedogg

04-13-2001 01:46 PM

On lines 493-495, try changing

Code:

                          $emails = $DB_site->query("SELECT email,username FROM user WHERE userid='$u'");

                          $email = $emails[email];

                          $username = $emails[username];

to this

Code:

                          $email = $userinfo[email];

                          $username = $userinfo[username];

It seems odd that no one else ran across this error mine...is no one else using email verification? Or is it just no one has installed it? :D Anyway I fixed the problem both in the instructions and the zip file.

RobAC

04-13-2001 02:23 PM

Oh oh......I just had a new member sign up and I received the welcome email! LOL Time to go look at the code again.... :)

Why not use $bbuserinfo[userid] and $bbuserinfo[email]. Would cut down on the number of queries needed in fact it should eliminate any extra queries.

These should contain valid data if the member is already registers.

I prefer to wait the final release before install this hack cause the final release come soon :)...i hope :rolleyes:

$userinfo contains the same info during verification

Code:

$userinfo=verifyid("user",$u,1,1);

which is why I used that. The other time it would happen (when verification is not required) I don't use any queries.

Rob: I think I found the problem, maybe. On line 497, try changing this

Code:

mail($newuseremail,$subject,$message,"From: \"$bbtitle Mailer\" <$webmasteremail>");

to this

Code:

mail($email,$subject,$message,"From: \"$bbtitle Mailer\" <$webmasteremail>");

Nice job once again Kevin. Works great. I verified it with different email addresses. thanks!!!

Thanks for the hack, Kevin! I was looking for something like this, but unfortunately, there isn't really a need, IMO, because you can vBulletin to verify all new user's e-mail, but just change the permissions so users awaiting e-mail confirmation can still view everything. Then, just edit the confirmation templates and viola, you have your own welcome message.

I followed this to a T...NOTHING! I tried it several times tonight and got NO email!

I KNOW I did everything like you said, but it still doesnt work! It is checked YES in the CP and register.php was saved and uploaded to the server to the admin area.

I really want this to work...it would save me from doing it manually (Which I do EVERYTIME a new user signs up)!

Tubedogg, you are an excellent hacker. However, I won't be using this hack for two reasons.

1. I have email verification on, so every new member gets an email already. If I want to include a welcome message in it, I could change a template, I think. I think two emails is unnecessary.

2. I (and my members) prefer a more personal touch than some auto-generated thing. Whenever a new person registers, whoever sees the new name first will post a welcome message to that member in our main chatting forum. Other people will reply with their own greetings. I don't think we've missed anyone in a long time (OK, we only have 190-some members and have been opened only 11 months, but still...)

You registered on my board, and there was a welcome message to you. You never posted anything, so I don't even know if you saw it. In case you missed it, look here: http://www.jjr512.com/forums/showthr...light=tubedogg :)

You're right I never saw it :) I registered for whatever reason to test something and then just never posted. I have been busy lately, that's why I haven't been pumping out the hacks as much as usual ;) but I have more free time as of today so hopefully it's back to great hacking!

everything is set up ok-but no welcome email is sent
also:
$emails = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT email,username FROM user WHERE userid='$u'");

i dont even see that line in my register.php

Does this hack work on the vbulletin final release?

05-29-2001 04:20 PM

I was just gonna ask the same question. :)

RobAC

05-29-2001 09:56 PM

Yes. I'm running it on my Forums. Works great.
