Hi, does anyone have a hack to send a new user a PM welcome message automatically? I had one in my iKonboard and the response was positive from new users. I would get emails from new users after they got their PM saying, "Thanks for the warm welcome!".
Anyone?

I would love to have this hack also! To introduce people to the site, and also to the PM featuer, it's a great idea! A much better way than to mail them than plaster a huge email to them.

Code:

  $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO user (userid,username,passw{etc}...");

  $userid=$DB_site->insert_id();

  $adminstuff = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid, signature FROM user WHERE username='Dennis Wrenn'");

  $adminid = $adminstuff["userid"];

  $adminsig = $adminstuff["signature"];

  $message = "Welcome to our forums $username \n The rest of the message goes here.\n-Admin";

  if($adminsig != "") {

    $adminsig = 1;

  } else {

    $adminsig = 0;

  }

  $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO privatemessage (privatemessageid,userid,touserid,fromuserid,title,message,dateline,showsignature,iconid,messageread,folderid,receipt) VALUES (NULL,$userid,$userid,$adminid,'".addslashes(htmlspecialchars("Welcome $username!"))."','".addslashes($message)."',".time().",'$adminsig','',0,0,0)");

Add this to register.php starting at line 407.

This works with vB 2.0.3.

Great, I'm about to upgrade to 2.03, I'll install that afterwards! Thanks!

What I do doesn't require a hack. Simply change your settings so all new users go into the Users Waiting E-mail Confirmation user group. Then change the permissions for that group so they can do anything regular members can. Then all you have to do is edit the appropriate e-mail template with your welcome message and there you go!

That sounds like a good idea, but how can I make it so that a PM is sent instead of a welcome email?

There is a hack that does this for you, found in the database. I use it on my own forum, v2.3.0

Will this hack still work in version 3.6.3?
