New User Welcome PM [v2] · **Released**: 03-31-2004

This hack will send any new users a welcome PM. This will work in vB3 Gold and probably RC versions as well. I will give support for this hack (if it's needed) in this thread.

If you upgraded your vB version and you are using a hack version prior to July 8, 2004:
If you have upgraded vB and your hack version is not July 8, 2004 or newer, run this query (there was a problem with the prior instructions):

Code:

INSERT INTO `setting` (`varname`, `grouptitle`, `value`, `defaultvalue`, `optioncode`, `displayorder`, `advanced`, `volatile`) VALUES ('regpmtext', 'register', 'Hi $username and welcome to $bbtitle!\r\n\r\nWe appreciate you taking the time to register on our site and we hope you enjoy your stay.\r\n\r\nIf you have any questions, you can ask an administrator for assistance.\r\n\r\nWe hope to see you around.\r\n\r\nSincerely,\r\nThe $bbtitle staff', 'Hi $username and welcome to $bbtitle!\r\n\r\nWe appreciate you taking the time to register on our site and we hope you enjoy your stay.\r\n\r\nIf you have any questions, you can ask an administrator for assistance.\r\n\r\nWe hope to see you around.\r\n\r\nSincerely,\r\nThe $bbtitle staff', 'textarea', 150, 0, 0);

This hack was last updated: Sun December 5, 2004 at 23:00 PDT
This update has a new on/off switch.

Update includes: vB 3.0.2/3.0.3 instructions

To install follow the instructions in the attached file.

Installation Information
Files to Edit: 1
Queries to Run: 11

Upgrade Instructions:

Open ./register.php and remove the hack (to find the old hack see below). And re-add the updated hack found in the Installation Instructions file.

To upgrade to the December 5th release, you'll need to run these three queries:

Code:

INSERT INTO `setting` (`varname`, `grouptitle`, `value`, `defaultvalue`, `optioncode`, `displayorder`, `advanced`, `volatile`) VALUES ('regpmon', 'register', '1', '1', 'yesno', 135, 0, 0);
INSERT INTO phrase (phraseid, languageid, varname, `text`, phrasetypeid) VALUES (NULL, '0', 'setting_regpmon_title', 'Automatically Send Welcome PM to New Users?', '5000');
INSERT INTO phrase (phraseid, languageid, varname, `text`, phrasetypeid) VALUES (NULL, '0',  'setting_regpmon_desc', 'Do you want to automatically send a welcome PM to new users?', '5000');

Uninstall Instructions:

Run the queries in this post, and then remove the hack in register.php (see below).

Look for:

PHP Code:

When it happens, go into the database and make sure that there is something in both the pmtext and pm table.

If there isn't, try rehacking the file; if there is, could you please paste the values of those two rows (and also their appropriate fields)?

Did you see my reply?

Yup... and I can not recreate this on my test forum at all with this hack installed. I'll keep trying various permission combinations.

Does anyone know if this mini-mod interfere with the v3 Articles hack?

RapCheck · #**166** 06-14-2004, 09:02 PM

whats the difference between this and the welcome pm thats in vb3???

Bryan Ex · #**167** 06-15-2004, 12:03 AM

The welcome message built into VB3 is sent via email... this is by PM when they first login.

RapCheck · #**168** 06-15-2004, 01:38 AM

ummmm, its already in vb3... the last option in the vboptions...

The built-in one for for e-mail. This one is for pm. So, yes, it is a hack and no, it is not into vB3 by default.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
