Automatically Start a Welcome Thread in the Forum of Your Choice
Version: 1.5, by amykhar amykhar is offline
Developer Last Online: Nov 2013 Show Printable Version Email this Page

No support by the author.

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

I seem to be missing something. Earlier in the first few posts Amy mentioned two versions - one for notice as person registers, and one for after the person has activated their account. The latter is what I am looking for.

Anyone have it or know what to change on the welcome thread upon registration?

You want the thread to be made after the person verifies their email address?

Actually, this mod could be heaps better.....

Can't someone make one that works like this mod request?

Far, Far more useful and less robotic I think.

Anyone that has used this hack - Has it improved newbies actually replying to it and getting involved with your forum? Or does it just create loads of threads which get ignored.

This hack sounds good, just want to see if it's actually effective.

Thanks.

I use it as a noob jail. They can only post in this auto-gen thread, until they prove that they are not idiots/spammers/etc. It works well for me.

Yes please!! If at all possible so it will be posted after the person activates their account.

I must admit this hack. And I find that yes it has improved the newbies posting. They seem to be getting more and more involved now that they are welcome in a thread. It's even getting my regular member's to post more as well.

Would be nice if this hack added a little textbox so guest that are registering can add thier own introduction text and then it would be posted like it's suppose to.

Just a thought!

Untested, but this should fix it. That's how I run this hack too.

I believe I saw a hack that did that, you'll just have to search around.

Is there a possibility to update this mod so it will pick the poster ID and user name from a static list?
