Miscellaneous Hacks - Cyb - Auto Reply

Info:
I'm using this to automatically welcome users in my "Introductions" sub-forum. You can customize messages and use it for any other auto-replying needs. You can write several messages (separated by |) and they will be used randomly in auto-replies. This work with subjects too. There are three different Sets of subjects/messages to use in different forums. You can set product to not reply to threads started by listed members, turn on/off signatures, etc... See screenshots for details about features...


To get this working don't forget to:
-Set forum id(s) in product options
-Set poster id(s) in product options

Otherwise it will not work or you'll get error messages.


Note:
-This executes 1 simple query on forumdisplay but only in selected forums.
-Same simple query is also executed when user searches for new posts.


Installation:
-Import XML file (as product) through AdminCP: Plugin System > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]

Mod doesn't work. After it kicks in, if the original poster tries to access the thread, an error message appears.

UNinstalled.

This is not to welcome new users but to reply to new threads in some forums...

Thanks for the updates.

I have a couple of requests that would be great if you could implement.

1. Where you have -{1} will be replaced with thread starter username, {2} with forum name... it would be great to have {3} will insert original thread title

2. Allow someway to insert "User Profile Fields". For example, we use a custom user profile field that is required and titled "Alias". It is field7. It would be nice to use that custom field as an replacment/insert instead of the {1} for username.

Thanks!

I tried using this. After posting the user gets the error:

Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

Also on the forum home it doesn't list in the last post info that the auto-reply user was the last poster.
