Also I am updating product to allow the use of smilies.

Thank you, sir. Please let me know when you have the smilie fix.

It is already fixed and working

[Boofo]

Ah, you snuck it in on me. Thank you, sir.

Got any recommendations for a good greeting message?

By the way, what is this in the query?

DBARRAY_NUM

[Michael Biddle]

I actually copied that from the query vbulletin uses to generate the notifications at the top. I think it can be removed, but I just left it their. the DOARRAY_NUM is the same as MYSQL_NUM.

[Boofo]

It is up to you. I don't know if it should be there or not.

Can you direct me to the file that is in? I'm curious now as I have never seen it before.

And thanks again for the fix. Still no suggestions for the message?

[Michael Biddle]

Hello Person,

Welcome to my forums. You can introduce yourself to us here.

You might want to check out some of our popular forums here and here.

Enjoy your stay!

I think it was in either of these two:

• ./includes/functions_visitormessage.php
• ./includes/class_visitormessage.php

[Boofo]

Thanks for the file info. And thanks for the message. Sounds good.

Do I need to add breaks in the message or will it see the line breaks ok? Like a post, I mean. Also, is there a way to add their name in them message? Or did I miss that somewhere?

[Michael Biddle]

It would should just work with you hitting enter.

Also for their username, I might get around to that today. I am doing some custom work and depending on time I will see what I can do.

[Boofo]

Ok, great! Please let me know when you get that, sir.

Good job on this, my friend.

Works great. Althought I hate the idea of a mod I need to wait for someone to register to make sure it works but that's just me. Worked perfefctly on my heavily modded board. Thx!
