Welcome Topic

[vbgamer45]

Doesn't look like it then.
You can upload the mod to http://www.smfhacks.com/smf-package-parser.html
And make sure all the edits are done on the SMF files

There should have been a couple of edits to that file (and other edits to other files) - it certainly explains why you aren't getting welcome posts made

I'd say the mod wasn't completely installed. You could do worse than editing the files yourself, as per the instructions in the mod parsing system, or try uninstalling/reinstalling it.

We've seen occasions where mod edits haven't been performed during installation - can't recall the full details but it's usually related to not having sufficient permissions to the filestore, often as a result of not actually owning the filestore/filesystem.

Who's hosting your website?

Thanks guys

I have manually edited all the files i noticed some files had multiple additions of the welcome mod, now i have made sure only one edition of the added files are within the PHP files what do i do please, i have the welcome mod installed already and i have uploaded and overwritten the new php files
I tested a member using a old email i have but didn't work what do i do please next ? do i uninstall and re-install
thanks again

(re-)download one of the files you edited (eg, Register.php) to make sure the edits still exist, and check you still have no errors in your error log.

Hello! I am having a major brainfart this evening. First off, let me say that this is one of, if not my favorite mod. I have built several sites with SMF, and this one is always the first to be added to it. Im sure this question has been answered, and i have searched through this entire thread looking for that answer, which i have apparently overlooked. This is the first time this has happened, so i have no clue how to fix it. i am getting a double post to welcome new members. I have tried everything i can think of to fix it, but to no avail. Can anyone point me to the answer to this issue?


and, as always.... thanks for a spectacular mod!

[vbgamer45]

Check the mod install upload it to http://www.smfhacks.com/smf-package-parser.html and look at all the mod edits done on your forum and if it is done twice remove the duplicate code.

Valued creator of "Welcome Topic",

longer time enjoying this great mod, one likes to ask: Would it be possible to get the Users Profil page as a link behind his name into the post?
When meeting someone new, people would like to look at his profile first and it would be easy if it would be provided within this welcome Topic. One Idea would be a special mod, of cause but maybe WelcomeTopic-Creator have other hints and supply's.

Thanks for you hints and generosity in advanced

Possible but not adding any features at this time don't have the time.

Would it be possible to get the Users Profile page as a link behind his name into the post?

I updated this mod a couple of years ago on my forum to link to the user's profile in the Welcome Message - here is a list of the changes I made in 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']),

I Installed this no problems the other day but now for whatever reason, every new member who joins, there are TWO new topics started for them both identical.

I sent a screen shot of my settings page.

Please help me stop this from making two topics for each new member.

[vbgamer45]

I would double check the edits to make sure the edits are not done twice.

I was hoping this was the case but I just checked and none are done twice.

What else could be causing me to get duplicate posts every time? I really need to get this resolved. The site just opened and i am getting a lot of new members and I have been having to go back in and delete all the duplicate posts.

Thank you  Villasg,

I am guessing the resolution to my issue is in your post but I am having a hard time following your post. Im not sure what to do to fix my problem.

[smitch6]

welcome post is saying welcome {username} rather than actually useing their username
any ideas pls?

[vbgamer45]

Use [username] for SMF 2.0

[smitch6]
