Board Address: Great Escape Board Software: ZetaBoards Description: Requesting the improbable... I don't know if this is possible or not, but I'm going to give it a shot anyway... Is it possible for a script (or some function of Zetaboard that I have yet to find) to generate a TOPIC in a specific FORUM or SUBFORUM (including generating the "Opening Post" in it's entirety), upon approval of a new member? |

That's a good code, but it just directs to an existing page. I need (if possible) some way to create a "Welcome {new Member}" thread that existing members can post on welcoming the new Member. As it sits now, everytime I approve someone I manually generate a "Welcome to {new Member}" thread that has as the OP a basic welcome greeting ("We're glad you joined, look around, see what's to see, et cetera")... then, once that's started, other members can welcome the new Member in individual posts. It also serves as a way to "announce" the new Member to the group. |

Interesting idea. What I do is lock areas of the forum that I don't want them to see and have redirect forums within categories saying "Post and introduction thread to see this area" Once they post they auto change group and can see more of the forum. But if your idea is possible I would use it. Maybe make it so once the user validates their email it will redirect to a new topic page where they can fill in a thread. Maybe also above that have a welcome message that only new users can see, something like
well something like that. |

It's possible, but the user that registered will have to be the one that automatically creates the topic instead of the administrator. |

For me that would be perfect but this isn't my request. |

What do you mean they would automatically create it? Their first sign on after approval would generate it? |

Basically, when a users registration is complete and they are on the next page after registration AJAX will automatically create the introduction topic for them. |

That could work. Is there a code for it? |

Looks good. One question. Does it just open a "new thread" that the new person can fill in (or close without submitting)... or does it create a thread without the option of editing the comment section? |

The title and message variables can be changed to whatever you like, for example:
The code uses AJAX to post the new topic, so the new topic is submitted in the background and the user views the board as they normally would after they register. |

Cool! I was getting ready to edit the "message" and I thought of something. How do you include a blank line between two separate paragraphs in one string command? Basically I want the message to say:
Also, who is the Thread attributed to, since it's generated automatically? I appreciate your efforts on this Cory. Edited by RichardInTN, May 23 2013, 06:48 PM.

Try that. The topic starter will be the user that registered. |

By "FORUM_ID" you mean the "3450889" in the following URL to the forum... right? http://w11.zetaboards.com/Great_Escape/forum/3450889/ |
