Thanks !

giving this a shot! Thanks!

Wow, you both beat my to save first post on thread.

Any chance of the ablity to automatically add a userID to all new friends too!

forgot to say, nice hack, was thinking about requesting this!

Thanks

Thanks alot for this :D works great.

Good companion of the you replacement mod ;)

great mod Mike, wonder where you got the idea :D

Yaaaay, glad to see that you made it work right.
*Installed*

Your lying to me Magnumutz lol. No install from you.

Sorry dude, i guess i forgot... I installed now :D

Would it be possible to create 3-4 different messages which could be generated at random to the new users ?
Sending the same message to all new users would defeat the object of a personal welcome comment in their profile !
Yes, I realise we can change it perhaps once a month, but as time goes by, its another item that gets forgotten :)

Clicked install :up:

[high]* projectego clicks install :)[/high]

I assume this doesn't work with 3.6.8? Does anyone know if there is anything like this that does? I have searched but cannot find anything. Thanks.

Nice little mod. Thanks.

There is no visitor message system in 3.6.8, it was introduced in 3.7 beta.

Thanks all for installing so far.

And as poprulz said, their is no visitor message system in 3.6.x.

@TTG: I might think of that later, but not at this time.

Much needed idea, Thanks!

I agree. :)

Thanks. :D

Thanks guys. Glad you all like it.

Exellent, this will hopefully allow new members after they sign up to view the profiles better and explore the site more. Will be installing this one for sure. thanks.

That's a pretty good idea, I hope the next version introduces this feature.

Installed, thanks!

TAGGED! for future use :)

Installed. Works well. Thanks for this

Can this be made to only add it to verified users and not those that never email verify?

@Boofo

Try changing the hook to register_activate_process

(not tested)

Ok, done. Now, what is a good message to put in there? Any suggestions?

Did it work?

I don't know. I haven't had anyone new sign up.

Mike, it worked great! But the smilie didn't parse and it shows as ; ) (without the space) in the message. Any way to fix that?

So this is driving me bonkers now. I knew it was working before and it seemed to stop. I did some reasearch and see that its a vbulletin bug with beta 6. You can see the fix here if you are updated to beta 6 already. http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/proje...?issueid=24850

Also I am updating product to allow the use of smilies.

Thank you, sir. Please let me know when you have the smilie fix. ;)

It is already fixed and working ;)

Ah, you snuck it in on me. Thank you, sir. ;)

Got any recommendations for a good greeting message?

By the way, what is this in the query?

DBARRAY_NUM

I actually copied that from the query vbulletin uses to generate the notifications at the top. I think it can be removed, but I just left it their. the DOARRAY_NUM is the same as MYSQL_NUM.

It is up to you. I don't know if it should be there or not. ;)

Can you direct me to the file that is in? I'm curious now as I have never seen it before.

And thanks again for the fix. Still no suggestions for the message? ;)

Hello Person,

Welcome to my forums. You can introduce yourself to us here.

You might want to check out some of our popular forums here and here.

Enjoy your stay!

I think it was in either of these two:

• ./includes/functions_visitormessage.php
• ./includes/class_visitormessage.php

Thanks for the file info. And thanks for the message. Sounds good. ;)

Do I need to add breaks in the message or will it see the line breaks ok? Like a post, I mean. Also, is there a way to add their name in them message? Or did I miss that somewhere?

It would should just work with you hitting enter.

Also for their username, I might get around to that today. I am doing some custom work and depending on time I will see what I can do.

Ok, great! Please let me know when you get that, sir. ;)

Good job on this, my friend. ;)

Works great. Althought I hate the idea of a mod I need to wait for someone to register to make sure it works but that's just me. Worked perfefctly on my heavily modded board. Thx!
