Small hack to automatically send PM to new users
after they have activated account.

Requested by Xelation
Tested on 2.2.5

UPDATED - v2.1 - 2002-05-02

Version 2.1 only fixes some problems with installation. Now it checks to see if the settings are already present in the DB, it has an option to remove the settings if you wish to uninstall and it has an option to remove any surplus settings you may have as a result of running the old install file.

If you have version 2.0 up and running problem-free, there is absolutely no need to upgrade.

You should uninstall version 1.0 before installing this one.
This version facilitates vB's built in setting system, and no longer requires a writable file on the server.

It also supports popup on PM.

Follow the instructions in install.txt

-- If you are running MySQL 3.22.xx, you might need to use this installfile instead.

Updated the zip with a complete rewrite of the hack.
See first post for details.

This is one of the most useful hacks installed on my board! Although there were other options and similars hacks, I kept this one! And now I'm getting an updated version

Great work Sparkz

Thanks.
This update was due a long time ago. For some reason I just didn't get around to it before.
I am quite convinced that this one is superior to the first version, tho.

BTW, why isn't this featurea already present in vB?
It is most usefull

You don't even have to sex0r me to use it in vB3

Disclamier to all posts I have made in the last 6 hours:
We are a wee bit drunk today, but we are doing our best

Installs softly and works nice.

Well done ... thank you, Sparkz!

I'm getting this error when I run the install file:

Database error in vBulletin Control Panel 2.2.5:

Invalid SQL: SELECT @displayorder:=displayorder+1 FROM settinggroup ORDER BY displayorder DESC LIMIT 1
mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near '@displayorder:=displayorder+1 FROM settinggroup ORDER BY displayorder DESC LIMIT' at line 1

mysql error number: 1064

Any idea why?

Great hack m8

When i clicked the

[Proceed to fileedit-part]

Part, i didn't think it was doing anything, SO now in my control panel, i got like

8

[Default PM]

In a row, how can i 'uninstall' 7 of them?

And perhaps add some feature so idiots can't do what i did?

I am on the move now, but I will write a script for you later that fixes this.
I will also update the installfile to prevent it from happening to others. It's a known bug.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
