Welcome to our newest member ( name get incerted here)

Tell me is there a way to mod this or get rid of this? I keep getting people signing up on my site with rude and inappropriate names. I have it set-up that new members must be approved through me before having access to the site. But the welcome to our newest member( ) and the name shows up before my approval. Hope you understand what I'm trying to say here.

Thank-you

I was told there was a code to fix this, that way untill I approve the user, the will not show up in the newest member list?

Simple fix, Go to the FORUMHOME template and find either

<div><phrase 1="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$newuserid" 2="$newusername">$vbphrase[welcome_to_our_newest_member_x]</phrase></div>

Or if you can't find the first code, find this

<phrase 1="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$newuserid" 2="$newusername">$vbphrase[welcome_to_our_newest_member_x]</phrase>

And remove it.

untill I approve the user, the will not show up in the newest member list?

How you think to approve the user? I mean with changing the usergroup?

Oh he said

so i told him how to get rid of it.

I was hoping not to get rid of it all together, just didn't want the name to show up till after approval. Can this be done?

I would love some help with this, too.

There was a hack available to restrict the selection of the "newest member" to certain usergroups; I had it installed on an earlier version of vB, but it doesn't seem to work with the current version.

I believe this is the code from the previous hack:

PHP Code:

 $newuser = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid, username
                                  FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user
                                  WHERE usergroupid NOT IN (3,4)
                                  ORDER BY userid DESC
                                  LIMIT 1");
     $newuserid = $newuser['userid'];        // set template variables
     $newusername = $newuser['username']; 


I tried substituting the above for the following in the index.php file, which I believe is the equivalent of where it worked in previous versions of vB:

PHP Code:

$newusername = $vbulletin->userstats['newusername'];
$newuserid = $vbulletin->userstats['newuserid']; 


However, this gave a fatal error; there are some differences between the coding styles in the old vs. newer versions of vB, but unfortunately I only know enough about PHP to do very low-level tweaks to suit my forum's needs.

If anybody who knows their way around these things could help out, it would be much appreciated!

EDITED TO ADD: I am using 3.6.4.

Try $db->query_first

rather than:

$DB_site->query_first
