This will force new members to fill out an intro when they register to your site. Very handy to make sure they are seen and with luck helps them feel welcome.

To install:
Create a new multiple-line text box profile field with the following settings.
Title: (your choice but should reflect it is intro)
Description: (once again your choice)
Max length: (has to be more then your minimum you will set later)
Field Required:Yes, at registration and profile updating
Private field: yes (can be no if you wish)

Rest of the fields are at your discretion. Make sure you make note of the new field id

Import product-introonregister in Manage Products

Now go to vBulletin Options->Into On Register Option and set the values.

Thats it, I have been using it for some time and thought others may like it.

Hey dude, I figured it out, lol it's cause we didn't follow the instructions properly..

k this is what you need to do..

You need to create a new "multiple-line text box profile field" to get that box that is missing. To create it you need to go to your admin control panel and:

1. Scroll down till you see a box that says "User Profile Fields"

2. Click where it says "Add New User Profile Field"

3. In the drop down box select "multiple-line text box"

4. Input the following settings

Title: (your choice but should reflect it is intro)

Description: (once again your choice)

Max length: (has to be more then your minimum you will set later)

Field Required: Yes, at registration and profile updating

Private field: yes (can be no if you wish)

Rest of the fields are at your discretion. Make sure you make note of the new field id

Import product-introonregister in Manage Products

Now go to vBulletin Options->Into On Register Option and set the values.

All done!

one more thing, where it says "Forum for the intro's to go" in the vbulletin options setting... it needs to be just the last number of the url where your introductions are stored

For example the url where my introductions are stored is at:

http://gamerzcreed.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=8

So all I needed to do was put the 8 in the "Forum for the intro's to go" box, not the whole url. If you still can't get it to work, let me know.

Guess reading the instructions would help some.

Now its installed but getting security token error
Code:
Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing or mismatched.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

Got the error above resolved. This makes the post when they sign up, however, does it send them a notification email when they get a response? I see it still leaves their post count at 0.

When someone uses this mod, I can see the "thread" in the "Latest Posts" column of my intro forum. The name of poster is different than all other threads - includes hyphen followed by duplicate name)

Stephanie Intro
by Stephanie - Stephanie

When I click on the link, I get this message:

Here is the link by "Latest Posts":
http://getyourdailydose.com/showthre...o=newpost&t=11

When that link is clicked it is redirected to this URL:
http://getyourdailydose.com/showthread.php?p=0#post0

..with the following error:

"vBulletin Message
No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"




Does anyone have any suggestions?

I love this hack, thanks for having created it.

But, I have some problems, as for some of the members have already noticed. Here they are"

1- User posts count is not updated and still shows 0 posts
2- Link to the newpost does not work on the forumhome and link to the lastpost brings you to the wrong thread on the forumhome. Same on the forum display happens. (These are very annoying).
3- Forumhome lastpost poster shows incorrect username like "by Mike - Mike" instead of just "by Mike"
4- Lastpost post icon is shown as a Poll instead of default icon (or some of our own choice would be great).

Besides that, it's still a great hack but I would like to get these problems resolved. Does anybody could help?
