Welcome Thread with VB Options · **Released**: 04-07-2007

FROM AmyKhar
"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."

You can set the ForumID, UserID and Username in VBoptions

on register it sends the Thread to moderations so you can customize it.

I'll be adding a second release soon with that functionality removed.

Thanks to AmyKhar for the original hack and Nick for his excellent debugging skills and intuitive coding.

Very much looking forward to the version that only posts the thread after the new user has confirmed his/her email address.

TeddyKGB--if you revise line 20 of the code as adwade posted, it will do post after email confirmation.

For those that have done so, what do I change to make it so the posts aren't moderated? This would be the perfect mod if it edited line 20 and took out the moderation of the posts!

I think this is what you need:

Code:

<template name="welcome_thread" templatetype="template" date="1129555561" username="amykhar" version="3.5.0">
- <![CDATA[ 
<p>Welcome $userinfo[username]!</p>

I noticed that you need a user ID, I assume this is the usergroup meaning the usergroup number like registered users? It is far to much trouble to manually enter the new users ID for every sign up. I also assume that this is the ID of the one you want to greet. I bit confused on this mod sorry.
