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

I want to thank you again for such a wonderful hack. I can't beleive how much of a difference it has made on my forum. It has gotten the majority of newbies to get involved and has even gotten my regular's involved in welcoming them as well.

So you want the thread to show, but the forum to NOT increase its post count OR the user's post count? I'm sure that could be done, but may I ask why?

Can I change the font color of the post title that shows up when the welcome bot makes it's post?

EXCELLENT HACK...this is what I have been wanting for some time now. Being somewhat new to this, I made a few mistakes, but if we learn from our mistakes, I'll be a genius! Thank you!

worked perfect in 3.5.3! installed.

mkdevo · #**176** 01-12-2006, 04:14 PM

just installed. this is a great hack.

however, html code in the template is not working at all for me. the code is actually showing up in the message. any ideas?

nm, figured it out.

amy,

this hack is great. thank you.

i think a great addition to this hack (is there an easy way to do this?) would be to have maybe 5 or so random welcome posts in a 'rotation', just to make it a little more personal..

would that be possible?

HaMaDa4eVeR · #**181** 01-18-2006, 02:26 PM

hello dear
I want this hack work after new register user write new theread by himself in forum and the hack will replay to him as a post NOT theread. is there any way ot do that !
