New thread on new registration.

[Scott MacVicar]

This hack was done in about 10mins before i went to bed so hope it works ok, worked fine on my test forums.

run these two sql queries, they will create two fields under user and registration options.

INSERT INTO setting (settingid, settinggroupid, title, varname, value, description, optioncode, displayorder) VALUES (NULL, '6', 'New Thread on Registration', 'newregthread', '1', 'Post a new thread to the forum identified below when a user registers', 'yesno', '18')
INSERT INTO setting (settingid, settinggroupid, title, varname, value, description, optioncode, displayorder) VALUES (NULL, '6', 'Forum to post to for a new registration', 'newregthreadforumid', '1', 'The Forumid to post a new thread to when a user registers', '', '19')

you should immediately go change the forumid specified via the admin panel so new users won't have problems when registering

Open register.php go to line 489
look for

PHP Code:

  $DB_site->query("UPDATE session SET userid=$userid WHERE sessionhash='".addslashes($session['dbsessionhash'])."'"); 


below it add

PHP Code:

  //Start Hack to Post userinfo to a forum
  if($newregthread) {
    $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO thread (threadid,title,lastpost,forumid,open,replycount,postusername,postuserid,lastposter,dateline,iconid,visible,attach) VALUES (NULL,'".addslashes(htmlspecialchars("$username"))."','".time()."','$newregthreadforumid','1','0','".addslashes("Auto Poster")."','0','".addslashes("Auto Poster")."','".time()."','0','1','0')");
    $threadid=$DB_site->insert_id();
    eval("\$message = \"".gettemplate("email_newuser")."\";");
    $message=parseurl($message);
    $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO post (postid,threadid,title,username,userid,dateline,attachmentid,pagetext,allowsmilie,showsignature,ipaddress,iconid,visible) VALUES (NULL,'$threadid','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars("$username"))."','".addslashes("Auto Poster")."','0','".time()."','0','".addslashes($message)."','0','','','0','1')");
    $postid=$DB_site->insert_id();
    $foruminfo=getforuminfo($newregthreadforumid);
    $DB_site->query("UPDATE forum SET replycount=replycount+1,threadcount=threadcount+1,lastpost='".time()."',lastposter='".addslashes("Auto Poster")."' WHERE forumid IN ($foruminfo[parentlist])");
  }
  //End Hack to post userinfo to a forum
