Small hack to automatically send PM to new users
after they have activated account.

Requested by Xelation
Tested on 2.2.5

UPDATED - v2.1 - 2002-05-02

Version 2.1 only fixes some problems with installation. Now it checks to see if the settings are already present in the DB, it has an option to remove the settings if you wish to uninstall and it has an option to remove any surplus settings you may have as a result of running the old install file.

If you have version 2.0 up and running problem-free, there is absolutely no need to upgrade.

You should uninstall version 1.0 before installing this one.
This version facilitates vB's built in setting system, and no longer requires a writable file on the server.

It also supports popup on PM.

Follow the instructions in install.txt

-- If you are running MySQL 3.22.xx, you might need to use this installfile instead.

is there a way to send 2 different PM's to new users? i would like to send the normal greeting PM and also one with our site sponsors. really need to push to help support our site.

any way that can be done?

First off I must say, great hack, installed perfectly!
I ran into a problem though, after installation. I went to the Admin CP to change the PM body and PM Message title, etc..

I wanted to incorporate the Username of the user in the PM, but when reading your description it didn't say how to get the username in there. Well after reading it closely I discovered that you need to place the $username variable before "anywhere". $username is the variable that will be parsed.

So, here are the quick changes u need to make.

Under PM Subject change it to:
Whatever you enter here will appear in the subject line of the PM. Enter $username anywhere to have it replaced by the username of the recipient.

and

Under PM Body change it to:
This is the message-body. Enter the text that will be the actual PM to new users. If you enter $username anywhere in this text, it will be replaced by the username of the recipient.

--------------------------
That will simply help make it more clear as to how to get the recepients username in the subject or the body. I think you meant to put $username in there, but just forgot.

As I said, great hack!

I say that in one of my last posts...

For correct the problem, you must put / before $username in the text...

Sorry about that, Sinecure... Corrected it in the zip.

It works perfectly but there is no popup.

*update - It's ok now.*

Who can make this:
User receive default PM only after user moderation.
