Mini Mods - Post Milestone Thread Starter

So often on forums when a particular poster reaches a notable plateau, a thread gets started "congrats to X poster for reaching X amount of posts. What this is, is similar to the mod that creates a new thread everytime someone registers. What this does is allow you to set milestones in your admincp(1000,2000,4000 or something like that) and it will start a thread automatically in a forum of your choice when posters in usergroups specified in the settings reach those points.

This is compatible in versions 3.6.x to the best of my knowledge.

Installation is simple, just upload the XML file and go to settings in your admincp. If you use it, please click install!:up:

attached are the screenshots and the XML file.

Version 1.01 corrects a few little errors, it works with all usergroups in vB 3.6.4 and I fixed the typo in the admincp instructions.

In the "Thread Title" section it's spelt $_postcount. That's where I copied it from to paste. But, in the "Thread Message" box it's spelt $t_postcount.

I don't know if it was meant to do so but I have this mod set up to do a welcome thread in the appropiate thread ID and have the rest set accordingly. Here is my settings I typed in and thought it was correct :

forum id : 15

usergroups : 2|5|6|7

thread starter : 1

milestones : 0

thread title : Welcome $t_user

thread message : Let's all welcome $t_user to DVD neXt COPY Support Forum.

So I have no ideal if I did this wrong or the fact this mod wasn't meant to do this? I have an introduce yourself section which is thread ID 15.

I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm telling the person who wrote the mod, so they can fix it

That's a typo, it will be corrected in the update I'm working on.

That won't work because this is triggered by the event of someone posting. Joining will not trigger it. You could have it be at 1, have it welcome them the first time they post.

I'm currently working on the issue with it not working for certain usergroups.

Fixed a couple bugs, and the typo. Let me know if there are any other issues.

Thanks for informing me. I figured this was the cause.

I think you have a missing "t" after the "$" in "postcount".

Did that and now it's working like a charm :up:

It should be noted that when you (re)import the product that "Overwrite" should be checked. Though the name is different you still have to check the "Overwrite".

Also I didn't have any problems with it retaining previous settings either!
