Uses Plugins Template Edits
 
No support by the author.

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.

Amy

Not yet. I just haven't had time to sit down and dig into it. I'm trying to not use the function that I used to start the new thread because that function seems to have changed behavior in RC2. Instead, I'm trying to go through the datamanager instead. But, the directions for using it aren't the clearest in the world and I just don't have the time to sit and tinker with it at the moment.

Hmmm, I'm not sure that plugin will work for me. I need to be able to PM the new user the thread id, so the hacks have to be combined...

Can I just copy the PM code into your hack? I'm guessing not, as Kirby's is a product not a plugin...

That's what I meant when I said combine. It won't be a direct copy and paste. You'll have to make changes to the code.

Okay, I'll take a look at it. Thanks! I'm new to this whole plugin/product thing.

Kinda offtopic, but can you or someone explain the difference between a product and a plugin?

A plugin contains a snippet of code that hooks into a file and executes at the same time.

A product is a group of plugins, templates, phrases, and queries grouped together as one functional modification.

hmmm

The thread title doesn't seem to get updated on the main forum display (index) page, just the poster's name gets updated.

I got following error on RC2:
Quote:
XML Error: syntax error at Line 1
I tried to install it as a product.
