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.

how do i make it show the members profile fields in the welcome post?

I try this but its not working, and i think this has to be possible if it can get the users name inside the post.

Code:

<if condition="$post[field1] != ''"><div>$post[field1]</div></if>
<if condition="$post[field2] != ''"><div>$post[field2]</div></if>
<if condition="$post[field3] != ''"><div>$post[field3]</div></if>
<if condition="$post[field4] != ''"><div>$post[field4]</div></if>
<if condition="$post[field5] != ''"><div>$post[field5]</div></if>
<if condition="$post[field6] != ''"><div>$post[field6]</div></if>
<if condition="$post[field7] != ''"><div>$post[field7]</div></if>
<if condition="$post[field8] != ''"><div>$post[field8]</div></if>
<if condition="$post[field9] != ''"><div>$post[field9]</div></if>
<if condition="$post[field10] != ''"><div>$post[field10]</div></if>
<if condition="$post[field11] != ''"><div>$post[field11]</div></if>
<if condition="$post[field12] != ''"><div>$post[field12]</div></if>

I'm assuming that the profile fields don't work cause all the $post stuff isn't active when the plugin runs. However, I have no idea how to fix it. So yeah, Im not much help.

Just a bassic hello. Welcome to the board. read the rules, buy a subscription to remove the ads and get more featuers. I have no HTML included because I don't need it from what I see.(Sorry to lazy to post it.)

I have a small board so I have only had this tested twice. A member joined as Infamous and the post was created using HIS name, not mine.

However I registered under a name and the post was created with my user name.

any way to make it so that the new member is the one who makes the thread auto-maticaly.. to be welcomed.... holla

C_P · #**133** 10-21-2005, 01:15 AM

Here is what I did, you can choose to do as you wish.
1. I created a Welcome User Group
2. I created a user "CP Greeter" and assisgned this user ID to that group as it's primary user group.
3. I created a sub-forum called "welcome" and allowed html code.
4. I edited the Amy's VERY nice xml code to reflect the user ID of CP Greeter and the forum ID.

This way, when a user registers, the forum post is automagically created under my CP Greeter profile and he welcomes our new users!
See it in action here:

That's a different hack. Unfortunately, the guy gave it basically the same name as this one.

C_P · #**135** 10-21-2005, 01:22 PM

Hey Amy, This does work great but it seems to have the same IP as "CP Greeter".
Am I correct in stating this new thread to welcome the new user is created under same IP as the new user and not the official greeter?

amykhar · #**136** 10-21-2005, 07:18 PM

Yes. Given that the "greeter" account is being accessed through the new member's browser.
