If you or anyone is available for testing, particular with social media registrations. Please let me know. Otherwise this will be patched in the next update.
November 16, 20177 yr On 02/11/2017 at 5:33 AM, Mike John said: Not really old versions but let me know if it does make a difference. I'd tend to avoid manually messing with the settings database but if your open to a little bit of testing, I can give you some queries to manually add a few auto welcome settings just to see how that goes. Other then that, I would probably need board access to troubleshoot this and monitor exactly what's happening in the install routine. I assume you haven't had any other issues with other apps that might add settings? Hi Mike! In the end it had nothing to do with the PHP/MySQL version. But I wanted to let you know that I finally solved the problem! I feel reaaaaally stupid and just don't know how I could miss that, but there were, indeed, old entries prefixed by aw_ in the sys_conf_settings tables. Probably inherited from an previous version (our database has a long and troubled history). I had checked 10 times yet but... had simply missed the "next page" button in phpmyadmin... and finally had an epiphany by accessing the tables through the ACP instead of phpmyadmin (a fresh look on things!) These entries were probably locked (considered as belonging to another app?), and were then preventing the new version of the app to write its information properly. I manually deleted all these entries before re-installing the app, and everything works perfectly now. Many, many thanks again for your help, patience, and your great app
November 17, 20177 yr Hello @Mike John, I'm running the latest version over IPSCS 4.2.6, and the PM notification is not working.

I'm trying to do it before the holidays but just haven't had the spare time yet. Do you have ftp access to your ipb files? If so, I can pass along some patches I've been working on?
January 9, 20187 yr Couldn't find it in this topic, so my reaction: Superb plugin! I have chosen to use the welcome PM option. That works, but after registration, the PM is in the inbox, but there is no notification icon that notifies the user of this new PM. Is this "by design"? Or did I mess up something? I am running this on my dev forum on 4.2.7 beta 5.

This is currently a confirmed bug. I'm working through mod updates now and should have a fix for this soon.
January 12, 20187 yr What versions of the mod work with what versions of IPB? I need a temporary fix the bbcode doesn't seem to be parsing correctly since I updated to php 5.6 in preparation to upgrade to IPB4.x I'm currently on IPB 3.4.9 and have v2.3 of your mod installed currently. I assume I likely need to upgrade the mod but I don't know to which version? Edited January 12, 20187 yr by o30c

I'm still a few weeks away from an IPB upgrade to v4 and I'd like to fix this parsing issue in the meantime if possible.
February 15, 20186 yr Hi, For the notifications problems, it is planned for soon? If not, can you send me a beta fix of the plugin until the release.. I have a 4.2.7 version. Thank you

March 8, 20186 yr Author New update with the following changes. Quote Fixes issues with the PM notification flag and add post reply option.
March 16, 20186 yr Hi @Mike John - great plugin this, and pretty essentially IMO - great way to promote initial user engagement. There is an option in this to link to the member, however I'm wondering if theres a possibilty to include an option to tag the member?
March 21, 20186 yr Hi, This is weird. Things were working ok because of your fix but now I have installed this latest version that is supposed to stop me getting notification of the welcome emails but I have started getting them again?

I didn't get around to adding that this version but it should be added in the very next release.

Just to confirm was this the email notification of personal messages or the email welcome alert itself? The later really shouldn't of been changed this release.
March 23, 20186 yr The alert but they seem to have stopped. I did get some so wonder if it is connected to new users joining via twitter or facebook
March 26, 20186 yr Just upgraded to 4.3 beta 2 - And while the plugin is technically still working .. It's doing something funky with the admin name who sends the auto messages. With the auto profile post, it refers to my admin account as "Guest" and links to profile url of site.com/profile/0-Guest/ Same with status updates Let me know if anything else is needed to help out. Thanks!
March 29, 20186 yr Hi @mikejohn is there anyway to use this to send a specific welcome email based on the member group they are assigned to? For example, users who sign up for a subscription I'd like to be able to send them a different email to a free user.

There's no chance your getting the internal email that IPB4 sends itself for new signups?

Can you send me a screenshot of your settings and will try and reproduce when I get a chance to look into IPB 4.3 in more detail. 19 hours ago, asigno said: is there anyway to use this to send a specific welcome email based on the member group they are assigned to? Not currently and would need bit of an overhaul of the app to send out alerts in that way. I'd like to see quite a bit of interest from users before making a big change like that.
