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.

Then I'm sorry, its beyond my weak coding skills. I would hazard a guess that it requires a SQL query, but that is just a guess.

No problem...thanks for your efforts.

Is it possible to make the welcome thread's creation add to the postuserid's post count?

Post it under their name.

I think that's what I'm doing now, but April Fool's postcount doesn't increase even when the mod successfully creates new welcome threads via her account. Am I doing this wrong?

Code:

$postuserid = 3; // The Userid of the poster
$postusername = "April Fool"; // The username of the poster

Is there any way to add a link to the new members profile?

Okay...little help here please. I have been going through the thread and I am not sure so can anyone direct me to the working version of this for when a user has activated his/her account only. There has been so many modifications to this to suit one person or another that I am not sure which one to use in the many threads. I love the mod!

Very much appreciated

Thanks

I have it installed but I do not like the fact that it posts this for users who are not even activated. I tried the setup to fix that and then it dosen't include the username when it makes the post for the activated user. Ideas?

Oops...I didn't see this thread:

Go to your CP and then "Plugin Manager".

Beside the "Start Welcome Thread...." plugin click on "Edit".

In the second field from the top "Hook Location"...click the arrow and choose:

register_activate_process

That's all there is to it.

Now if somebody could help me figure out how to add the users "Location" to the title, that would be nice. Something like Welcome: Name from Location

I've tried but no luck yet.

Thanks

Nope..that didn't work...It makes it do what I said and show no username at all and it still makes the post even though it isn't activated.
