Miscellaneous Hacks - Cyb - Auto Reply

Info:
I'm using this to automatically welcome users in my "Introductions" sub-forum. You can customize messages and use it for any other auto-replying needs. You can write several messages (separated by |) and they will be used randomly in auto-replies. This work with subjects too. There are three different Sets of subjects/messages to use in different forums. You can set product to not reply to threads started by listed members, turn on/off signatures, etc... See screenshots for details about features...


To get this working don't forget to:
-Set forum id(s) in product options
-Set poster id(s) in product options

Otherwise it will not work or you'll get error messages.


Note:
-This executes 1 simple query on forumdisplay but only in selected forums.
-Same simple query is also executed when user searches for new posts.

Hey Cyb,

Love your hacks, have several of them installed - always top notch!

I'm looking for a hack that will post a new thread whenever someone becomes a Paid Subscriber on my board. I have the Happy Birthday hack, and I want this to work pretty much the same way as Birthday and Auto Reply. It either needs to detect new subscribers, or just new members of a specific Usergroup (in this case, one someone becomes a Paid Subscriber, I add them to the Premium Usergroup).

Can you tell me if the Auto Reply hack can accomplish what I need? If not, is there any simply ways to modify it? It not, might you be willing to release another hack that does this? I'm guessing it would be easy, just a different query.

Appreciate any advice.

same problem as post 13 looks like you add a new post but do not update forum table
thanks

As always, great hack. I have a suggestion, though. The admin area needs a little more functionality. It would be ideal to have it so an admin can setup a series of auto-replies per forum, instead of a set of random replies to a list of forums. For instance, if someone has a Support forum, they wouldn't want a "Welcome {username}" as a response. Great idea, but functionality is EXTREMELY limited.

Where there is a new registered member, will this mod auto create thread to a specify forum??? just want to make sure I understood the mod correctly. Thanks much.

This will reply to new threads in specified forum.

For example if you have sub-forum where newbies makes their first posts to say "hello, i'm new", this hack can do that boring task to reply "Helo, welcome aboard, enjoy your visits..." etc... you can set several messages, hack will use them randomly in replies.

Is there a way that we can create a mod so that it will auto generate a new thread on a specific forum like a welcome thread for every new registered member?
