NewThread with member info on register

This hack was requested by Joe and is ideal for review of users in a private mod / admin forum. This involves very little effort to install and is a great asset, to dealing with problem users as it allows other mods to report on a user. I've found that mods and admins aren't always on at the same time.

What info is it supposed to supply?

I'm getting :

MXbillMX
There is a new user, MXbillMX at DRN Forums

To view their profile, go here:

http://xxx.xom/forums3/me...fo&userid=29797

Email Address : mxbilly@dirtrider.net
Homepage : http://
Birthday : 1980-8-22

Which is cool, but really need :

Biography :
Location :
Interests :
Occupation :

In addition. Tough thing to do? I'd prefer that my mods not have to go to the bio, with 60+ new members each day, I need to save them all the time I can.

this is almost perfect for my needs, but I need a means of setting up an automatic simple yes or no poll with each request, how would I go about this?

can i post the sql errors in here ?

Maybe an old thread, but this looks a nice hack.

the beginning of this hack where is starts

PHP Code:

  if($newregthread) { 


After it add

PHP Code:

 $userinfo=getuserinfo($userid); 


then you can use

PHP Code:

$userinfo[field1] 


etc etc

How do i run the 2 SQL queries and I also don't know how to do this:

you should immediately go change the forumid specified via the admin panel so new users won't have problems when registering

Sorry but am new to all this

[rburns]

Ok, sorted that, but it doesn't post a new thread, no errors either, anyone help?

[webhost]

same here using 2.2.9 all works except it does not make the post, no errors just no post


Edit

made new forum the forum id is 116 so what I change in the queries and also the code below.

PHP Code:

INSERT INTO setting (settingid, settinggroupid, title, varname, value, description, optioncode, displayorder) VALUES (NULL, '6', 'New Thread on Registration', 'newregthread', '1', 'Post a new thread to the forum identified below when a user registers', 'yesno', '18')

INSERT INTO setting (settingid, settinggroupid, title, varname, value, description, optioncode, displayorder) VALUES (NULL, '6', 'Forum to post to for a new registration', 'newregthreadforumid', '1', 'The Forumid to post a new thread to when a user registers', '', '19')

you should immediately go change the forumid specified via the admin panel so new users won't have problems when registering

-------------
register.php
-------------
go to line 459, look for
$DB_site->query("UPDATE_session_SET_userid=$userid_WHERE_sessionhash='".addslashes($session['dbsessionhash'])."'");

below it add

  //Start Hack to Post userinfo to a forum
  if($newregthread) {
    $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO thread (threadid,title,lastpost,forumid,open,replycount,postusername,postuserid,lastposter,dateline,iconid,visible,attach) VALUES (NULL,'".addslashes(htmlspecialchars("$username"))."','".time()."','$newregthreadforumid','1','0','".addslashes("Auto Poster")."','0','".addslashes("Auto Poster")."','".time()."','0','1','0')");
    $threadid=$DB_site->insert_id();
    eval("\$message = \"".gettemplate("email_newuser")."\";");
    $message=parseurl($message);
    $DB_site->query("INSERT_INTO_post_(postid,threadid,title,username,userid,dateline,attachmentid,pagetext,allowsmilie,showsignature,ipaddress,iconid,visible)_VALUES_(NULL,'$threadid','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars("$username"))."','".addslashes("Auto Poster")."','0','".time()."','0','".addslashes($message)."','0','','','0','1')");
    $postid=$DB_site->insert_id();
    $foruminfo=getforuminfo($newregthreadforumid);
    $DB_site->query("UPDATE forum SET replycount=replycount+1,threadcount=threadcount+1,lastpost='".time()."',lastposter='".addslashes("Auto Poster")."'_WHERE_forumid_IN_($foruminfo[parentlist])");
  }
  //END Hack to Post userinfo to a forum 


[fla5h]

go into your admin control panel, Vbulletin Options

Registration Options

And you will see a option for post a thread when member joins ?

Is it on yes ?

Then there is an id of the forum to post the thread in, make sure that is set (116 in your case)

[webhost]
