Miscellaneous Hacks - Force Intro On Register

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.

This is a great concept. I attempted to install on 3.7.1. I followed all directions but it didn't show up at all on my signup form ?

It would be great if you add some features like:
- Fields like:
-- Name
-- Location
-- Age
-- Hobby's
-- How did you find uS ?
etc...
And if you can add an option to change/add/delete these fields from the Settings of this MOD it would be great.

And to add an option to change the value of Forced in the reg. YES and No optionally (not forced for the introduction) ...

Hi,

This is a great mod, and its installed fine for me, can i make a couple of request's?

1) can I have the field sent in an email to me the "super admin" so I can screen new members, spamming has been a nightmare recently and this could help me with new memberships.

2) can we have an option for registration page only, not on editing a profile later on.

Thanks so much if you can help out with this, I feel as well as a great tool to introduce your self, this doubles up as a great member verification tool.

Thanks

Hi Everyone,

The correction for the error that wingrider is getting when he registers a new user and the intro not being posted into the forum is that when setting the intro on registration options in the VBulletin option, the last field asks for the forum that the intros should be written to. This should be the forums ID# not the forums name. There is no notation in the field that would let you know that and I finally figured it out after 15 new registrations. Hope this helps.

Bob
