Welcome Topic

[Sigyn]

Just installed on 2.0.8 and when a user registers it posts a welcome topic twice!? Help

I am also  having this problem - I have been manually deleting the duplicates but it's kinda annoying ><

The same thing as Shades. Double posting on 2.0.8 when a new member joins the forum. Just trying to get it resolved ^^

Anyone?

I seem to have cured the 2x posting.

It happens if you set registration for email activation as it causes both sections of Welcome Topic Mod code to fire.  So I removed the lower one as the top one is only activated when a user clicks on their email activation link.

There are 2 entries in Sources/Register.php

    // Welcome Topic Mod

    if (empty($row['last_login']))
    {

        global $sourcedir;
        require_once($sourcedir . '/WelcomeTopic2.php');

        DoWelcomePost($row['member_name']);

    }

    // End Welcome Topic Mod

// Welcome Topic Mod
    global $sourcedir;
    require_once($sourcedir . '/WelcomeTopic2.php');
               
    DoWelcomePost($row['member_name']);
   
   
    // End Welcome Topic Mod

So I removed the bottom one, so I'm left with this ...

    // Welcome Topic Mod

    if (empty($row['last_login']))
    {

        global $sourcedir;
        require_once($sourcedir . '/WelcomeTopic2.php');

        DoWelcomePost($row['member_name']);

    }

    // End Welcome Topic Mod

Seems to have worked  .

Oh, the woes of installing a mod twice, eh?

I'm using this mod with the mention username mod but it doesn't mention the username in the thread.

All I want to do is sending mail to the user letting him know that a welcome with his name is created. So he check his welcome topic. And read further instructions written in the topic.

Thanks.

Both of those options would need to be built into the mod and are not included.

Sorry I couldn't explain it properly.

Actually I was talking about this www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=522005.0 to work with welcome topic mod.

Detailed info here

I'm using the welcome topic mod which creates a new thread automatically when s user get registered.
Everything works fine in that mod, in this mod.

But if I want to mention newly registered member in that automatically created thread then this mod doesn't work.

I use @[username] in that thread to mention the newly registered member. [username] automatically gets replaced with the actual username but in that thread no users link appears(mention doesnt work)

Please help in solving this issue.
Thanks.

Thanks

Anything related showing in your error logs?

[snooks]

Check your Sources/Register.php to make sure the mod edits have taken hold. There's a couple of other files affected but that one should ensure the mod application edits went through.

I have looked in the sources/register.php and using textpad i searched the word welcome
This is all i found
   'send_welcome_email' => !empty($modSettings['send_welcomeEmail']),

Does that mean its not added it ?
thanks
