Giray Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Currently, when we create a topic on auto welcome on behalf of the member, we agree that the 'notify me' and therefore the 'following' are negative, right. In other words, the member is not notified of replies? If that's the case, which I believe it is because they do not show as following their post, it makes it difficult to alert them of the post. Thoughts? Thanks. PS. Still lobbying for changing hours to minutes on the posting delay 😥 Maxxius 1 Link to comment

If so, would be easy to give you a patch until the next update. @Giray, this implies (to me) that this is possible if you have access to the files, but @Mike John hasn't replied with that patch yet.

Yes correct. But could probably add support for this. Do you have auto follow enabled for the forum or new members? Link to comment

Maxxius Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I had even crazier idea but hear me out. For a large community which are full of features. It might be even more better to have not only 1 auto welcome email but a few of those emails during a period of time. Because everything I want to say in one email still might overwhelm the new user. So what if 1 email can be send after a few minutes of his registration with one text. Then after X days or hours - another one explaining more in depth things about the community. Then again after another X days or hours - another email with even more details. And up to max of 5 emails in such fashion. Each one focusing on more in depth features of the community. What do you guys think of such approach? @Joel R @Mike John @Giray Giray 1 Link to comment

Sometimes when a member registers it double posts, but not all the time, there was a difference of around 6 minutes between posts. Maybe a tasks issue?

If it's not crucial for immediate alerts, can you try the time delay? I just want to get an idea if the various hooks aren't working here or something wrong with the topic alert itself.

Waiting on someone joining through Twitter. Normal registration is unaffected from my most recent sign up. So it must be a social issue again. But it doesn’t make sense as to why they stopped worked since a change in settings. Link to comment

Jordan Miller Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Hey @Mike John two questions for you. How can I make it so the auto welcome email shows a white background instead of the grey background used in the email wrapper? I guess what's it doing is telling the email not to include a background color, so it's showing as grey because that's what's in the email wrapper? How can I disable the default IPB email 'Your registration is complete!' from sending? I'd prefer just to email the member once versus twice upon validating their account 🙂 This is what it looks like when registering an account. One email is the auto welcome, the other is IPB's default. Any help would be awesome. Thank you! Link to comment

I'll need to fix that but for now, if you open acp > look and feel tab > appearance > emails > new member welcome.

Thanks for responding! @Mike John IPB says there isn't a method to disabling their default email and recommend I disable the Auto Welcome email (I still plan on using it for PMing the new user, though). I'm just not sure how to edit my copy into their default email template. 😩 This is the default IPB email template: {$email->language->addToStack("email_reg_complete", FALSE, array( 'sprintf' => array( \IPS\Settings::i()->board_name ) ) )}{{if $member->members_pass_hash}} {$email->language->addToStack("email_reg_complete_pass")}{{endif}} <br /> <br /> <a href='{setting="base_url"}' style="color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', helvetica, sans-serif; text-decoration: none; font-size: 12px; background: {setting="email_color"}; line-height: 32px; padding: 0 10px; display: inline-block; border-radius: 3px;">{$email->language->addToStack("email_go_to_site", FALSE, array( 'sprintf' => array( \IPS\Settings::i()->board_name ) ) )}</a> <br /><br /> <em style='color: #8c8c8c'>— {setting="board_name"}</em> And this is what I want inside of it: Quote Welcome to BreatheHeavy.com's forum, Exhale!

Mercury5 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 A couple of suggestions for this great mod. 1.) Where you are able to pin the topic, perhaps there could be a certain time you want the topic pinned for. 2.) On a similar note. Possible to have this topic pinned globally throughout the forums like an announcement. Link to comment

Possible to have this topic pinned globally throughout the forums like an announcement. I can add a pin option in the future but pinning a topic for a set time would probably require a new plugin as IPB doesn't natively support that. Again this kinda would require a new plugin to make topics support that. Mercury5 1 Link to comment
albn Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Just wanted to say, many thanks for the plugin, it's a fantastic idea. I do however have one small issue, the post to existing topic feature, for some reason, only worked once, it hasn't posted anything since. We have our forum set to quick registration, with email validation (We don't use social networking for logins/registrations) It's set to Add post reply, welcome topic is set, author is set, the post message is set. I've just set it to delay to 1 hour, just to test if it has any effect, registered a new account and validated my email, but nothing again. The PM to user works perfectly. Link to comment
