VSa - Auto Reply
 

Info:
I'm using this to automatically welcome users in my "Introductions" sub-forum. You can customize messages and use it for any other auto-replying needs. You can write several messages (separated by |) and they will be used randomly in auto-replies. This work with subjects too. There are three different Sets of subjects/messages to use in different forums. You can set product to not reply to threads started by listed members, turn on/off signatures, etc... View screenshots for details about features...

To get this working don't forget to:
-Set forum id(s) in product options
-Set poster id(s) in product options

Otherwise it will not work or you'll get error messages.

Note:
-This executes 1 simple query on forumdisplay in selected forums only.
-Same simple query is executed on getnew-search.

Installation:
-Import XML file (as product) through AdminCP: Plugin System > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]

To set options:
Go to: vBulletin Options > VSa - Auto Reply

First... Awesome mod. Just need Donate system now :-)

Wooooot...Second.... :p Great.....Valter...You Are Almost There....just a little step more and you had all your fantastic mod updated to vB 4.0

What's Next? Paypal Donate Mod? ;)

A Million Thanks For Your Hard Work....as always...

Marked Installed!---Nominated!---Rated Excellent!

:p:up:

Is it possible to set a delay before it replies?

Because if it replies instantly that might look like a bot, but if it replies after 5 or 10 minutes that might look more realistic. This would be a nice feature.

Also how about having the ability to randomly choose a different replier. eg. enter in a few different user IDs and then it chooses one of those to be the post replier.

love your mods. installed

It may be impossible to do, but product options are great place to check.

seems to be the auto replier didn't show to forumhome...but it's in there...and work...hmmm...can anyone confirm this please... ;)

Installed this....and works great :)
thanks for this awesome mod :)

its dont run for me vb4.0.2 PL1
...any ideea?

I like this idea, can more documentation be written or screenshots to show how to accomplish what you listed? ie, to edit the subject and text....

What Im hoping this will do is annouce so to speak probationary new users to certain forums...like intro

yea, it doesnt work for me either. Any ideas>?

it didnt work for me either on 4.0.2 pl1

it didnt work for me in VB402 PL2

hello valter
could you help to for last post enhancement for VB 402

Total post count does not increases.

Valter, you're awesome. I've needed something like this for a long time. An autoreply will make my users feel that there's a little 'activity', and that feeling is very important.

In addition, new users can get critical information that can protect them when they trade stuff online. (My forums are all about trading, and too many users get scammed for doing stupid stuff like not verifying their trade partners with a phone call.) - This is going to be perfect for warnings like that.

Could this auto reply be configured to only post when a user clicks a button located in a thread, and then to auto reply to that thread?

A great feature I would like to see listed, is that it links the users screen name to their profile!

For the life of me I can't get this working on my upgraded forum.

I have this mod working fine on a test board running 4.0.4, but when I try to move it to a live forum running 4.0.4 it just will not work. I've tried changing the forum, the username that posts etc and still no luck.

Any suggestions on how I can try and figure out why it's not working ?

Ensure that you have set userid of the poster, not username.

Yep I am using the userid (even though I said username above - my mistake). I've even tried different userid's and no go.

As I said, it's working fine on a 4.0.4 test board, and just changed those settings straight over (apart from changing the userid and the forumid to the ones I want it to happen on - and i've tried different userid and different forumid also) and it doesn't work on the other.

I've experienced the same.

Great idea!

But I cannot get this mod to work on my vB4.03 board either.

I set the userid of the poster ... and the forum ids for the 3 messages.

I have all three messages going to the same forum id ... so not sure if that's the problem??

Also, I have "Reply to unanswered threads only" set to the default of "yes" ... so again, not sure if that's a problem too??

No update?

Not working on 4.04 for me either :(

Not working for me in 4.0.5, either. Wish it would, though. Valter, your mods rock! Hope this is on the fix-it list. ;)

How can this be used to welcome new users, if it only works to reply to existing threads?

Post count does not increase :(
btw: great mod :)

Yeah it has some problems with 4.0.5.

I'd be glad about an update as well :3

How can this be used to welcome users, when it only works if a thread was created and then not replied too.?

Thanks for this.

Any chance that there could be an option for the reply to be sent when Nn of posts have been posted in a thread.
We have a welcome forum and we like people to introduce themselves but but then to go an post their specific queries in a relevant subforum elsewhere.
I would be useful to be able to detect when their introductory threadwas turning into a full disucssion - say at 6 pots and then be able to post an automatic message saying that you are very pleased to have XXUser on board but would they like to continue their discussion in a new thread in an appropriate forum.
It would be nice to have an option to close the thread at the same time.

Is this possible?

Ta

edit: nevermind, working. although took a little while longer than the 5 seconds :)

I received an email copy of your original post before it was edited.

It seems to me that Valter has a reputation for being very supportive of his mods.

Also, it is worth remembering that we are getting the stuff for free.

For some reason mine is not working. :(:o

This wasn't working for me on earlier versions of VB4, but just tried it again now with 4.0.7 and works as expected. NFI what was going on.

This isnt working at all on 4.0.7 I have all the options set, but it doesn't create the thread when a new user registers.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

ok here is the thing, im using

and i have it setup to auto reply to any thread created in the
Fusion Applications->Fusion Applications OPEN

now my issue is when it does my "thread post" its waits likes it suposed to then auto replys with the message i setup. after that i notice that it will start to show that same post and reply post in a new category in my forums.

then when i go to view the 2nd "unexplained post" is not even there, but it shows its there on the home page of the forums.

i don't know if this is a vbulletin issue or if its that add on issue so im going to start here first.
