I set my forum up to auto generate a thread for our new users after they confirm the email address. The code works, but not all the time. I'm guessing that I have it in the wrong area in the register.php script. Can someone here point me to where it should go?

I suck at PHP coding, so thanks for your help.

Here is the code I'm using:

PHP Code:


			
// ########## START THREAD CREATION ##########

            $forumid = $pmoptions['regforum'];

            $foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($forumid);

            $post[title] = $pmoptions['regpmtitle'];

            $post[message] = $pmoptions['regpmtext'];

            $post[poststarttime] = TIMENOW;

            $post[posthash] = md5($post[poststarttime] . $bbuserinfo['userid'] . $bbuserinfo['salt']);

            $post['emailupdate'] = 9999;

            build_new_post('thread', $foruminfo, array(), 0, $post, $errors);

            // ########## END THREAD CREATION ##########

and I put it after this line in register.php:

PHP Code:


			
// delete activationid

        //$DB_site->query("DELETE FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "useractivation WHERE userid=$userinfo[userid] AND type=0");

What version of Vbulletin are you using?

fly · #3 06-17-2005, 05:23 PM

Sorry. Good question. vB 3.0.3

amykhar · #4 06-17-2005, 06:30 PM

It looks like it's in the right spot. Can you be more specific about when it does or doesn't work? What's different in the users or situation when it fails?

Amy

fly · #5 06-17-2005, 06:36 PM

most of the time, the thread is created. Sometimes it isn't. I can't see anything different about the user's profiles...

Thanks for your responses!!!

fly · #6 06-23-2005, 03:01 PM

Okay, I think I've figured part of it out. It doesn't seem that the code is grabbing the actual $bbuserinfo['userid']. Sometimes its null.

Any chance you could take a look at all the code for me? As it actually does a couple of things. Thanks.

(Sorry its kind of a mess, I cant really write my own code, so I've pieced together other peoples code to make this.)

This is my register.php (with an extra line of actual vB code on either end, so that you know where I stuck it)

PHP Code:


			
// delete activationid

        //$DB_site->query("DELETE FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "useractivation WHERE userid=$userinfo[userid] AND type=0");

Use $user, not $bbuserinfo.

Replace all instances within my code? And can you explain why? Sorry I'm so new to this its hilarious.

Try this:

Code:

// delete activationid
        //$DB_site->query("DELETE FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "useractivation WHERE userid=$userinfo[userid] AND type=0");

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

        // Process each one of the replacement vars
        $vars = array(
            '$bbtitle' => $vboptions['bbtitle'],
            '$username' => $username,
            '$email' => $email,
            '$userid' => $userid
        );
        
        $pmoptions['regpmtext'] = $vboptions['regpmtext'];
        $pmoptions['regpmtitle'] = $vboptions['regpmtitle'];
        $pmoptions['regforum'] = $vboptions['regforum'];
        
        // Now that we have the options, we need to process eaach of the

Note, I haven't tested it. But, I try to use the variables the native code is using. It was using $user, which I know will be fully defined.

fly · #10 06-23-2005, 04:30 PM

I shall try that. Thanks!

fdsfsdfsfsdfsdf

Hmmm... That didn't seem to work. The PM never got sent and the thread title that got created didn't include their name.

The thread title = $pmoptions['regpmtitle'] = $vboptions['regpmtitle'] = Please welcome $username to UF

fsdafsdfafdsfdsa

wtf, it keeps merging my posts. Please see my reply above about it not working...
