About Developer · **Released**: 07-08-2005

This little mod will start a new thread in the forum of your choice when somebody registers.

The thread message is contained in a template, and easily customizeable on your part.

This version posts the thread when the user registers - but before he activates his email address.

Thanks to flypaper for providing a bugfix.

Installation Instructions: Import the product. Change the welcome_thread template to suit your needs. Change the setup variables in the welcome thread plugin to suit your needs.

Amy

would u like to mix your hack and this please? https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...3&page=1&pp=15

Here are the setup variables from my plug in. Yet, this hack ALWAYS starts the thread under the new members name, and not my name. Any idea what's going on?

PHP Code:


			
  // Setup Variables
    $forumid = 36; // The forum id that you want the thread posted in
    $postuserid = 1; // The Userid of the poster
    $postusername = "Xplorer4x4"; // The username of the poster
    $title = "Hello " . $username . " welcome to XP."; // The thread title

i want to arrange setting from vbulletin setting section..that hack (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...3&page=1&pp=15) can do it..bu it does not write user name by me...it writes by newuser..
your hack can do it it writes by me (poster) but when i change the welcome message ,it is very hard to arrange..do u understand what i am saying..

if it is possible..it will be perfect..

This is a great add on -- but I need some help understanding how to keep the welcome thread from being posted until after the new user has been approved by the moderator.

How can I do 'dat?

Thanks in advance.

I agree, that would be a nice feature of this.

Here is what I tried -- but it didn't work:
I created a new user named Welcome Committee.
I made that user a regular user and made that the user who posts the welcome message.

I then set the forum up so that new threads had to be approved my a moderator. I thought that would do it -- that the moderator who approved new users would just click on thread approval and it would work.

But, no joy. It just went right ahead and posted the new user instead.

Surely there is a way though.

Then you have permissions set for that group to be able to delete their own threads.

murrtex · #**149** 10-31-2005, 02:09 PM

The welcome thread is the ONLY thread the person can delete?

(This hack would have nothing to with permissions, so I think you have some other problem.)

If you're familiar with coding and the plugin system, moving the plugin to register_activate_process and wrapping the code below around the plugin should work. That's how I have it running on my board, but is UNTESTED on Amy's hack...

PHP Code:


			
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['posts'] == '0')

{





}
