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.

Without having actually checked, I'd guess that your version does not support user variables.
I am about to hit the sack now, but I'll try to make a script you can run instead tomorrow afternoon.

Is there any way to get around it?

Sparkz · #54 05-02-2002, 08:42 AM

Yeah, it is. I'll write an install script for you later today, or early tomorrow. I just completed an 8 hour trip and had to go straight to work, but as I said, I'll try to whip something up for you this afternoon.

Thanks so much of this hack! It's awesome and WORKS GREAT with 2.2.5

Try this script instead. Since I have a much more recent version of MySQL myself, I have no chance to verify that it will work with your version, but it does work with the version I am running.

Very cool hack, works fine.

tpearl5 · #58 05-03-2002, 03:28 PM

Thanks Sparkz! It installed this time.

However, when I signed up a test account I did not get the default PM. I'm not getting any errors anywhere and I changed the settings in the control panel. What could be wrong?

You can visit my board at http://degster.com/midi/board/ to take a look.

And you have completed the file edits too?

tpearl5 · #60 05-03-2002, 03:38 PM

yep, there's only one, right?

Sparkz · #61 05-03-2002, 10:30 PM

Yeah... I have just tried with a fresh forum/DB - using the file I wrote for you, and it works nicely...

I honestly can't see what is wrong.

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