BBR - Welcome Thread Upon Registration
 

I will no longer support vBulletin because of IB and the agile development, and they are not fixing bugs like they should. Instead they add bloat.

Planed Changes:
Add signature to first post. - Added in 2.02
Add new member intro with in welcome post. Most likely with a Quote from member profile field.
Add admin option to send PM of newly created thread.

These Planed changes have no time frame. I want to make sure this is working 100% before I go adding on to it.

where is the file??? you can use the previous version or is a new file, thanks

The file is there - product-welcomethread2.0.xml

because when I saw the item had not thanked files is very good this hack

I was hoping that the iuser will be able to create their own actually with this.

Why would the user to post a welcome post to them self?
You are thinking more along the lines of a introduction thread on register.

My plan is to include a introduction profile field with in a quote with the welcome post.

خطأ XML: Internal error في السطر 213

thanks BBR-APBT

This would be great. I may use it until the Introduction at registration hack becomes available. or if it becomes available.

I can convert this over to do that fairly easy. I need to be sure this works as expected.

Thanks! This is a mod i have been waiting for.

*Tagged for gold.

good work ... nice mod . but it is more good if welcom msg sent via pm also and in that pm also show welcom tread link

thanks

I will be adding that soon as I know v2.0 is all working ok.

Sounds good ill be keeping an eye out for that one.

Working on it now. I should have it released later tonight or tomorrow. It will have almost all the same options as this.
Except it will be posted by the new user.

Tagged.

No reported bugs should I remove this from beta.

thanks

The username isn't being listed on the thread. It stays $username. Love the idea behind this mod though.

I will have to look into that as it didn't with the beta versions. I will run it on my RC2 test board and see whats going on some time this evening.

Thank you for the bug report for RC2.


EDIT:
Fixed bug please re-import product-welcomethread2.01.xml

Hmm finally decided to give in a try this one out. I created a test account and it shows my Administrators Username as the new member instead of the user i created for testing? Maybe its an IP issue not sure..

NM it seems to be working on the second test..
Is there any way you can make the posticon work with double digits for custom icons ie:01 02

thanks for the update.

Thanks for the update! I'll install it and see what happens.

I will check into that today.

I been looking into the double digit icons and can't seem to find out why it wont support double digit icons. I set the array to explode after the , so it should read i.e. 1,02,03 etc.
If any one sees the error let me know. so I can update it to work with double digits.

I am still looking in to it.

tx was missing this for vb4, used a similar mod on all my 3.x boards :D

BBR, were you ever able to get the Introduction thread from the registered member coded, I was going to start doing it by modifying the code for this mod, wasnt sure if you had already done it.

I need to it to pull custom profile fields down to the thread as well.

I will be working on that this weekend.

Awesome, thanks for the quick reply!

BBR let me know if you need a hand testing this. I know it cant be easy registering new accounts with every edit.

Its a total pain in the rear end.

Changelog:
v2.02 - Bug fix for double digit post icons and fix for adding the signature to first post.

Known Bugs:
Multiple welcome post if you have it set to post the welcome thread after email activation. There is no known fix for this it happens when a user refreshes the activation page. If vBulletin would add another hook it would fix this error. I have to use register_activate_start but I should use register_activate_complete.

Edit:
It seems vBulletin is working on this with me. So we just may get the hook added to fix this error.

@bbr-apbt check http://www.vbulletin-germany.org/sho...2&postcount=63 to solve the email activation bug;)

I see how you did it with unset but I would like to use a hook that is in a proper place.

The Hook I requested they add should of been there in the first place. Thanks for your suggestion. If they don't add the hook then I will use your fix. I am hoping they will add it though.

When I work out the final bugs on this this evening or tomorrow morning you will have to update that arabic version.

If you put more than one userid in the thread creator, does every userid create a new thread or does it randomly pick just one to create the welcome thread? (ie. If there are 5 userid listed as thread creators, then every time a new person joins dies it create 5 new welcome threads or does it make just one?$
