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:


			
        // ###################################################################

        // # WELCOME PM HACK BY rob_daemon

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

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.

The instructions file attached to the first post does indeed work.

Challenge · #**297** 03-14-2005, 02:14 PM

Hello.
I use 3.0.7, and when the hack is installed, every time i get a new PM, i get a the PM-popup. (even though it is unchecked in the porfile page) How can i do so it dosn't show up always, only when "New PM popup" is checked?

Regards,

Challenge

This only affects registration PM's. I'm not sure why this would be happening.

Can I make a simple request.

I would realy love to install this hack, but the formatting of the text instruction file is so jumbled I can't for the life of me make heads or tails of it. Anyone care to clean the formatting of it? I would be very thankful.

For some reason NotePad will not display the file correctly. Right click on it and open with WordPad. Works fine.

Also getting an error when trying to run the queries:

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