New Posting Features - Welcome Thread Upon Registration

Welcome Thread Upon Registration

This mod creates a welcome thread when a new member registers.

Features controlled via the ACP (See screenshot)

- Thread Title
- Thread Message
- Forum Location
- Post Icon
- Which User Creates Thread
- Thread Placed In Moderation
- Create Thread Before/After Email Activation
- Have a Random Title
- Have Random Thread Content
- Post From a Random Member
- Post a Random Icon

When is the thread created?

You now have the choice via the ACP! A thread can be created as soon as a member registers, or if you use email activation on your board, you can have the thread created once they have activated their email.

Boards that require an admin to approve new users

This mod has an option to place new threads into moderation. Once the new user has been approved via an admin, you can then release the new thread.

New Features in Version 1.2

Does your welcome forum look a little bit "samey" like this?


Same old thread title, same old post icon, same old user posting the thread and when you go inside it has the same old content?

Well maybe I could interest you in the latest version of this mod!



You decide on four titles and the content of four threads! You can also select the UserID's of who you want the threads to be created by. You can also select to have random post icons! - All controlled via the ACP.

Its all random. Thread title one doesnt belong to thread content one and thread title two doesnt belong to thread content two. With this mod when a member registers, thread title one may be posted with the contents of thread content four and thread title three might be posted with thread content two etc. The same goes with the UserID's and the post icon.

Screenshots
The screenshots show the ACP in version 1.2. I was unable to fit it all into one image, so had to split the image in half.

Although I have marked this as supported im a very new coder and this is my first release. I have tested it by signing up over 100 users on my test board and as yet there have been no glitches.
If there are any errors, I will try my best to resolve them, however as being new im still learning the ropes.

I find that it only works if you have it set for after email activation.

i have a problem with this mod . i install it but the topic is in the last of the section and banned member post that topic ? why

[aapkae]

anyone can solve my problem

We are about to remove this Modification, there seems to be a security flaw, or weird security related issue, regarding this.

Perhaps others could report back.

To test:

If you have this mod fully working.

Look at the new thread greeting, and who it is posted by ( ours is set to 1 of 3 or 4 mods , selected at random)

Take a note of their IP ( your MOD that is )

Now look at the IP of the new member they just greeted !

The IP's match !

Now what is causing this. We have a support thread ongoing at vb.com and here

Incidentally, this must be TESTED before the new member posts !

Wow your right, I just searced my username and I have about 100 different I.P addresses come up! From all over the world!!

Are we sure it's deffinatly this mod?

[Adrian Schneider]

If you guys want to fix the IP's:

Edit both plugins, find

PHP Code:

$threaddm->set('visible', $visible); 


Below it, add

PHP Code:

$threaddm->set('ipaddress', IPADDRESS); 


Cheers

[matthewhotdude]

Thanks, done and will see what happens

[Itchy Nips]

not sure if this was asked already. is it possible to change the thread starter to the new user?

[bada_bing]

Would love to install but going to wait for this feature which is helpful to prevent new members from starting duplicate threads

Feature Request:
Send the User a PM with information about the Thread
