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.

Hey m8

Just wanted to say thnx for the great support....

I actually am redoing the entire forum, did a few bo'bo's on hacks, and will be reinstalling your hack, but this time i won't press he button 50 million times

Well, with the updated installfile that is no longer an issue

Cute hack - I installed it. Shows fine in admin panel, but no PM message is actually sent to the new user. I have yes on receive PM, PM activated etc.

for some reason I get an error when clicking on the Agree button in the signup template (line 748 - document.forms.0.avatarset.selectedIndex is NULL or not an object) Win Me, vb 2.2.5. Not sure this is a result of this hack tho.

Anyone have an idea... the latter is really more urgent than the first.

Oh, I installed it May 1st. Will the new version sort out the above?
Thanks!

I have been unable to reproduce the bug where no PM is sent, so I can't really say what to do about it. If/when I can reproduce it, I can start debugging. Sorry for not being able to help here.

Sparkz · #66 05-05-2002, 06:51 PM

I will however look into the problem asap.
For all I know it might be because of some general forum setup *wild guess*.

bandersen · #67 05-05-2002, 07:03 PM

thank you - appreciate it!!

Hello, I have the same problem...
I have install your hack but i never receive default pm !
I have only an error on line +- 527 in the register.php file...
eval("\$subject = \"".gettemplate("emailsubject_activateaccount",1,0 )."\";");

I have translate this hack in french (version of 05-02-2002), if you change something, can you say me what ?

Sparkz · #69 05-07-2002, 08:46 AM

I never bothered to sort out that email-thingy, so I removed it like 10 minutes after posting it.

I could probably check it out a bit later today, tho.
I think the only thing I really changed was the install-procedure, and the removal of the mail-thingy.

vbf.Falco171 · #70 05-07-2002, 10:36 AM

It's probably a problem from the code top in the register.php file...

If I find a solution, i'll send it to you or give it here...

Sparkz · #71 05-07-2002, 10:39 AM

Have any of you done other hacks in your register.php which might affect this hack?

I have reinstalled my hack at least 10 times on completely fresh copies of vB 2.2.5, and it works like a charm every single time.

For the life of me, I can't figure out what is wrong.
