Welcome Topic

Anything in the error log? If you register yourself is it working?

Nothing, and I havent tried to reg an account myself not that I see how it would matter since for the last two users in diff locales the mod didnt make posts for.

Great mod - thanks!!

I've been using it on my SMF 1.1.x forum for the last few years and have just installed it on my new SMF 2.0.4 forum.

For my SMF 1.1.x forum I solved the problem of a Welcome Topic being created for members who re-activate their account after they change their email address by checking their last login time (it will only be empty for new members).

To manually apply this fix for SMF 2.0.4 make the following changes in ./Sources/Register.php

Find

Code Select Expand

SELECT id_member, validation_code, member_name, real_name, email_address, is_activated, passwd, lngfile
Replace

Code Select Expand

SELECT id_member, validation_code, member_name, real_name, email_address, is_activated, passwd, lngfile, last_login

Find

Code Select Expand

    // Let the integration know that they've been activated!
    call_integration_hook('integrate_activate', array($row['member_name']));
// Welcome Topic Mod
global $sourcedir;
require_once($sourcedir . '/WelcomeTopic2.php');

DoWelcomePost($row['member_name']);

// End Welcome Topic Mod

Code Select Expand

    // Let the integration know that they've been activated!
    call_integration_hook('integrate_activate', array($row['member_name']));

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


[Edit:  Removed my package file - please use official release]

So ya, even with the update intalled / old mod uninstalled first... this still didnt "pick up" on the last two signups and there's nothing in the error log. I have not installed any new mods for a while so I don't know what would be wrong. One day its working then the next its not.

vbgamer45  old friend, long time no talk.

Is there a way to set the new topic so it is posted by the new member?
I thought there used to be a mod that did that back in the day, but can not find it now.
Was just hoping you might be able to help edit this mod to do so.

[GL700Wing]

Is there a way to set the new topic so it is posted by the new member?

Rather than do this I decided to have the new member's name link to their profile in the welcome message.

I find it handy to be able to see a new member's profile as I have some mandatory registration fields like location and country and many members update their profile the first time they login (I also have it set that guests cannot see any member profiles).

To implement this change do the following:

In the DoWelcomePost function of ./Sources/WelcomeTopic2.php

FIND

Code Select Expand

global $smcFunc, $modSettings, $sourcedir;



ADD AFTER

Code Select Expand

global $scripturl, $title;




FIND

Code Select Expand

$memberName = $memRow['real_name'];
}



REPLACE WITH

Code Select Expand

$memberName = $memRow['real_name'];
}
else
{
$result = $smcFunc['db_query']('',"
SELECT
id_member
FROM {db_prefix}members
WHERE REAL_NAME = '$memberName' LIMIT 1");
$memRow = $smcFunc['db_fetch_assoc']($result);
$smcFunc['db_free_result']($result);

$memberID = $memRow['id_member'];
}




FIND

Code Select Expand

'body' => str_replace("[username]",$memberName,$row2['welcomebody']),

REPLACE WITH

Code Select Expand

'body' => str_replace("[username]",'<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=profile;u=' . $memberID . '"' . $title . '>' . $memberName . '</a>',$row2['welcomebody']),

If topic is posted by the new member, then the poster name would be link to profile anyway, wont it?

[GL700Wing]

Yes - and it would be easy enough to implement that but I wouldn't feel comfortable with attributing a post to someone who didn't actually make it.

Since installing Welcome Topic Mod 2.2 replacing 2.1 I now get 2 identical welcome messages posted. Nothing shows in the error log. Any ideas on a fix?
Thanks, great mod by the way.

[vbgamer45]

Did you uninstall the old version? If not uninstall the new version and then uninstall the old version. Then install the new version

[Road Rash Jr.]

Yes I uninstalled 2.1 then installed 2.2.

[vbgamer45]

Next try get the manual code install steps from http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=789

Check each file it edits and remove the duplicated code if it exists

[Road Rash Jr.]

   Now I get 3 welcome messages 

[vbgamer45]

Did you double check all the code that was inserted?

[Road Rash Jr.]

Did you double check all the code that was inserted?

Yes, double, triple, and quatriple checked.

[Road Rash Jr.]

Any ideas as to why it is showing triple welcomes and how to fix?
