Small hack to automatically send PM to new users
after they have activated account.

Requested by Xelation
Tested on 2.2.5

UPDATED - v2.1 - 2002-05-02

Version 2.1 only fixes some problems with installation. Now it checks to see if the settings are already present in the DB, it has an option to remove the settings if you wish to uninstall and it has an option to remove any surplus settings you may have as a result of running the old install file.

If you have version 2.0 up and running problem-free, there is absolutely no need to upgrade.

You should uninstall version 1.0 before installing this one.
This version facilitates vB's built in setting system, and no longer requires a writable file on the server.

It also supports popup on PM.

Follow the instructions in install.txt

-- If you are running MySQL 3.22.xx, you might need to use this installfile instead.

Nice

darn doesn't work @ 2.2.9

Smoothie · #**144** 12-15-2002, 10:46 PM

Works fine for me on 2.2.9

Great hack! Works on 2.2.9

Glad you put the failsafe in there so we don't build the template more than once - the install.txt says click install, click submit.

No 'submit' showed up for me, so I did like others did - clicked 'install' again.

Might save some confusion by just editing the install.txt.

Instead of saying:

Quote:

Select install and press submit.

It'd say:

Quote:

Select Install, when the window changes to show the options to be installed, select Install again, then close the window.

I think that's how it went, anyway.

But other than that teeny tiny thing, the install was smooth as silk, did what it was supposed to on the first try, and now all new registrants to my site will get a nice PM from me when they sign up!

Thanks!

Jeff

It should be a quick fix to add that feature, though.

haven't got around to doing this?

Okay I had this running in vB 2.3.0 yesterday, but then decided not to use vB and deleted everything including the database. Now I changed my mind, and have decided to use vB again, and now when I try to run the installer file I get this error.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: cpheader() in /home/twc/public_html/forums/defpm_dbinstall.php on line 4

What could be wrong?

Verted · #**148** 03-06-2003, 04:04 PM

I tried it on v 2.3.0 and the install file didnt work, but it sounds like such a cool hack, perhaps you can get it to work on 2.3.0 because I'd love to have it

Anyone have this confirmed working on vB 2.3.0? (Without upgrading from previous versions of course)

Never mind, decided to give it a whirl (like I guess I normally do lol) and it worked flawlessly in vB 2.3.0!

Thanks so much for this!

Confirmed to work with version 2.3.0
I installed it yesterday on a site of a client.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
