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.

Hi

I ?m working on a site for an international non-profit organization. The online community will be key, and so we?re looking at various ways to incorporate member to member feedback into the site. Before beginning this research, we planned a hack that we thought might do the trick. It?s outlined below. However, we would like to ask if you all think that other, existing hacks might be equally/more functional. Here was our idea:

First, one would create a forum exclusively for positive feedback.
The hack would then:

1) Create a new thread for each user upon registration. The thread could be named after the user in some standard format. (amykhar already did this, it seems: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...light=feedback Would her hack work as part of this scheme?)
2) Paste the URL for that user?s feedback thread directly into his/her signature, perhaps just after ?Feedback at:?

We thought this might be a very elegant way to incorporate feedback into VB, as the forum?s features would very functional. For example:

It would be easy to click from a users post to his/her feedback thread, because the link would be in the signature. Likewise, it would be easy to jump to or from their profile, which would facilitate making contact.
Because the forum is only for positive feedback, ranking by post would have meaning.
Similarly, hot threads would point to people who have done a lot of good work recently.
The report bad post feature could be used to report the presence of negative feedback.
We?re assuming that everyone would subscribe to their own feedback thread and so would be automatically notified.

Thanks

Looks like she pulled it to work on some things

"For some reason, the post wasn't made, which throws that error. I really need to zap this attachment since RC2 seems to have broken some things and I don't have time right now to play with the code."

It works now if you NEED it. You just have to clear the moderation queue from time to time.

I think I have fixed this by using the thread creation process talked about over here. So if you're lightly familiar with coding like myself, you may be able to fix this. Hopefully amy will fix and re-release this soon, as I have no idea what the rules are on releasing what I did (since its really her stuff).
