Automatically Start a Welcome Thread in the Forum of Your Choice
Developer Last Online: Nov 2013
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 Show Your Support

Amy, I'm having trouble making it go to my intro forum. I know I should put in my version of this: <a href="http://www.eaforums.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=23"> which for me is: <a href="http://mysouthernlady.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=21"> and yet, I ended up with it in a PRIVATE board when I tested it.

Amy, is it possible on the "welcome after activate" to actually wait until the user is approved by the administrator, and if disapproved/deleted, the post isn't posted? All requests must be manually approved by one of the admins on our site. Cuts down on the spammers like you wouldn't believe. :devious:

I'm confused Liz. Which code are you changing? The plugin code or the template?

That's in the welcome_thread template, Amy...it's sending them to the Private board for some screwy reason. Liz

It's usually the first place we stop in the mornings to catch up with each other. <a href="http://mysouthernlady.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=7"><strong>Welcome to the Parlor (Daily Board)</strong></a>.</p> <p>We talk about pop culture, hobbies, raising kids, getting ahead at work, and just about anything else friends talk about around a Parlor or Kitchen Table.</p> <p> So, if you are trapped in a cubicle at work or if you are a stay at home mom looking for something to do while the kids nap or you are just looking for some company and some fun, this is the place for you. |

Amy, did we ever figure out this problem or should I just give in? Liz

When I check the code, I'm having trouble with the daily board url. You have it set to go to forum 7. If I manually go to forum 7 (not using the code you posted) I get an error message about functions.php (which isn't changed in this mod) and am shown a no-permission page. The issue seems to be with that forum, not this plugin. |

Amy, this was the one I was having problems with...it won't go there: http://mysouthernlady.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=21 And that is my Welcome board and not the Daily Board.
Right now, it's going to a Private forum where NO one has access without specific approval. I understand the Daily board isn't accessable uuntil you are registered, but once a person is creating this thread, they will see that board. Liz |
