No support by the author.

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:
        // ###################################################################
        // # WELCOME PM HACK BY rob_daemon
        // ###################################################################

 // [. . .] There is code here, but I didn't want to take  up more room

        // ###################################################################
        // # END WELCOME PM HACK
        // ################################################################### 
To configure it after installation, go to: Admin CP --> Options --> vBulletin Options --> User Registration Options

Attached is a screen grab of the PM by default and text instructions. If the file appears corrupt, please see this post.

Oh okay. So I applied the hack on the new register.php file (3.0.3) and then tested it out.

I got a new popup so that is a good start. There was no text on the PM so I went to the admin setting.
Under Options, User Registion Options, on the bottom, I only see
"User Who Sends Automatic PM Upon Registration" (which I set to admin) and
"Title Of the PM That is Automatically Sent to New Users."

But I don't see where I could put the Welcome PM text in. ANy idea?

Hmm... I see the problem. Run this query:

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);

One of my favorite hacks, ported over wonderfully to vb3. If I hadn't screwed up a query by repeating it accidentally (my fault entirely), this would've been a perfect install!

Great work. Thanks very much!

This didn't work properly for me either. I followed the instructions like a religious man and one of the queries wouldn't work, also I couldn't find where to "customise" the welcome PM, nor would the title of the PM show.

Hmm... that's very odd. Which query did not work? What version of vB are you running and what is the last updated date on the hack?

What do you mean by 'Last updated date'?

In the hack file, there's a line that says "Last Updated" and there's a date next to it. What is that date?
