New Posting Features - BBR - Welcome Thread Upon Registration

I will no longer support vBulletin because of IB and the agile development, and they are not fixing bugs like they should. Instead they add bloat.

Welcome i<3nathan, Glad you have joined!

Any ideas? this is annoying and users dont recognize their own username

It doesn't work for me with pl1, I tried it and when I click on registration verification link I get a database error. The same entering in the code. Uninstalled registration link is fine. Uninstalled.

First off upgrade to 4.0.1
Would be nice if you suppled some more details. How can I help you get it working if you do not tell me the error.



For every one else I will be releasing a update for this tomorrow morning will fix all errors but will require manual edit.

Right now I am off to watch the Ravens play the Colts.

Go Ravens

Besides the welcome unregistered this is working fine. Oh and the ability to use html markup on the name.

The Welcome unregistered will be fixed with a manual edit. It already works on my copy.

I am looking to the html markup on the username. I should be able to add that fairly easy.

Sorry, brain fart, I am on 4.0.1 since the day it was released. I forget the error but I don't need help getting it going as I uninstalled it, thanks anyway.

Thats fine with me.

Thanks this is a great idea and I figured out the problem and I reinstalled it but some of the new posts say hello unregistered instead of the users name and several times it has made a welcome post for people that have been registered for a while. Ant ideas? I have it set to post after email activation. Thanks.

Known Bugs:
Multiple welcome post if you have it set to post the welcome thread after email activation. There is no known fix for this it happens when a user refreshes the activation page. If vBulletin would add another hook it would fix this error. I have to use register_activate_start but I should use register_activate_complete.


Will be posting a update soon. I am almost done with my personal site, Which I have to put first. But I will be updating this real soon.

Nice mod. I haven't tried yet, but I was wondering if this mod will allow me to add some code to the Thread Content boxes like:

if field1!="" { <br><br><font color="gold">RL Name: </font> $field1; }
if field2!="" { <br><br><font color="gold">Game Name: </font> $field2; } etc.

I plan to force new users to fill out certain profile fields and then use this mod to add it to their welcome thread. If it can't be done in the thread content boxes, I'll figure out how to do it in the code.

Thanks.
