Automatically Start a Welcome Thread in the Forum of Your Choice

This little mod will start a new thread in the forum of your choice when somebody registers.

The thread message is contained in a template, and easily customizeable on your part.

This version posts the thread when the user registers - but before he activates his email address.

Thanks to flypaper for providing a bugfix.

Installation Instructions: Import the product. Change the welcome_thread template to suit your needs. Change the setup variables in the welcome thread plugin to suit your needs.

I'm just using a simple template for my welcome thread right now. It's not worth showing off yet. :D I'm too busy coding to be write something more fun and creative for a welcome.

Small annoyance--

If you have templates names added in the HTML through you AdminCP, you will get the following when using this unelss you have the template names in THML comments disabled:

Just an FYI, most people will not run with template names in HTML to cut down on bandwidth, but I turn them on sometimes when working on a new style...oh and before I forget,

Thank You!

I've been waiting for someone to pop this one in for awhile now ;)

As a workaround, you don't HAVE to use the template. You could hard-code the message within the plugin.

And, you're welcome. :)

Change the hook to:
register_activate_process

And, in the plugin code, change:

The change the hook part is used only if you want to run this after the user activates their account. Give me a couple of secs, and I'll export that version and zip it up for people to download.

Liz,
I added the alternate plugin. If you decide to use this one instead, just delete the first one and install the second. The only difference is when the thread is created.
