Hi all

As a continuation for the success of the 1st version, I released this new version, considering all your ideas and suggestions..

Functionality
Use this mod to add an AUTOREPLY for threads added to your forums.

What's new in v2.0
1- An option to Auto Reply just for non-replied threads after a certain delay of time.
2- An option to add more than Member ID to post the autoreply RANDOMLY.
3- An option to add more then Guest Username to post the autoreply RANDOMLY.
4- An option to add more than one message for the autoreply.
5- An option to just include Forum IDs where you want the autoreply system to be active.
6- Including the replying member's signature in his post.
7- Optimizing 1 mysql query for better performance.


What was in the previous version
1- Set which member's id will add the Auto Reply.
2- Set the guest's username, If you want the reply to appear as been added from a guest. (for ex. to use as an ad bot)
3- Set the Auto Reply delay, or set it to 0 to add immediately.
4- Edit the Auto Reply text as you wich.
5- Exclude some forums from Auto Reply, as suggestions and administrators forums.
6- Exclude some members from Auto Reply for their threads.
7- Add "{username}" into Auto Reply text, to be translated into the thread sender's username.
8- Turn the Auto Reply on and off from the mod properties.

It should select one line randomly...

give it another try.. for say 3 or 4 threads and tell me the result

[dsotmoon]

also i cant get bb code to work in it and after posting the first post in a thread and then trying to click on the forum link i get this screen randomly

this on a fresh install test board with no other hacks

oh i see, i want to use it to type up a long welcome message in our introductions forum that would have spaces, bb code, paragraphs, links, etc

this will not do that?

about BB codes it should worke fine..

and about the error message, it is because ur autoreply message is too short, make it 10 characters at least

question: what version do u use?

ok, sorry i was having problems because i was testing with less than 10 characters, it should say beside the "Auto Reply Messages" box that it is 10 characters minimum

last question, is there something i can change in the hack so that in the "Auto Reply Messages" text box i can type multiple spaced sentences and/or spaced paragraphs instead of simple messages that appear randomly in the auto reply?

example:

Hello welcome to our forums, we hope you enjoy your stay!

Please read the rules and faq pages to aquaint yourself with our forums.

Your moderating team is:
mod1
mod2
mod3

I would like something formatted like the above to show in the auto reply each time. Hope that makes sense. Didnt mean to flood your thread.

yes you can turn the product to use only one message..
and u can put as many line breaks, paragraphs & sentences in this message as u like..

u will need to edit the plugin named "Thread Auto Reply - Part 2" as follows:
search for:

$msgs = @explode("\n", $vbulletin->options['coder_autoreply_text']);
$msg = $msgs[@array_rand($msgs)];

replace it with:

$msg = $vbulletin->options['coder_autoreply_text'];

then save the plugin.....

cool to see you have updated it, however it would have been better to just update your other thread.
