About Developer · **Released**: 07-08-2005

This little mod will start a new thread in the forum of your choice when somebody registers.

The thread message is contained in a template, and easily customizeable on your part.

This version posts the thread when the user registers - but before he activates his email address.

Thanks to flypaper for providing a bugfix.

Installation Instructions: Import the product. Change the welcome_thread template to suit your needs. Change the setup variables in the welcome thread plugin to suit your needs.

Wait. That fixed it? I thought I was wrong, cause I implemented it a little differently on my forum. Oops.

The thread doesn't show as new? Is that what's wrong now?

WildSharky · #**103** 10-17-2005, 01:57 PM

yes it shows my name as the poster now so that part is fixed and it show as a new post after i log back in on WildSharky but not the "test" name i registered im guess this is because its like the registered name is making the post maybe??

hey is it possible to make it post the users profile field info? If so please explain how, Because i want to use this as an introduction system where it posts all the required profile fields.

Try adding this code to the plugin:

PHP Code:


			
$threaddm->do_set('showsignature', 1);

Before the save line:

PHP Code:


			
$tid = $threaddm->save();

(untested

)

Fatal error: Cannot pass parameter 2 by reference in /usr/home/sharky/public_html/forums/register.php(419) : eval()'d code on line 31

PHP Code:


			
 // Insert thread 
    $threaddm->do_set('forumid', $forumid); 
    $threaddm->do_set('postuserid', $postuserid); 
    $threaddm->do_set('userid', $postuserid);

    $threaddm->do_set('pagetext', $pagetext); 
    $threaddm->do_set('title', $title); 
    $threaddm->do_set('allowsmilie', $allowsmilie);

In keeping with the same format for the rest of the plugin, use the following instead. (It didn't work previously cause I forgot the single quotes around the one)

PHP Code:


			
// Start thread create

    $threaddm = new vB_DataManager_Thread_FirstPost($vbulletin, ERRTYPE_STANDARD);



    $username = htmlspecialchars_uni($username); 

    $allowsmilie = '1';

    $visible = '1';

    $sig = '1';  //show signature 1/on 0/off

    eval('$pagetext .= "' . fetch_template('welcome_thread') . '";'); 



// Insert thread

    $threaddm->do_set('forumid', $forumid);

    $threaddm->do_set('postuserid', $postuserid);

    $threaddm->do_set('userid', $userid);

    $threaddm->do_set('username', $postusername);

    $threaddm->do_set('pagetext', $pagetext);

    $threaddm->do_set('title', $title);

    $threaddm->do_set('allowsmilie', $allowsmilie);

    $threaddm->do_set('visible', $visible);

    $threaddm->do_set('showsignature', $sig);

    $tid = $threaddm->save();
