Hi, I'm glad to hear that you'll be reviewing the send pm on registration mod. That's one I've been using. I'm not sure it works in the latest 2.0.20 version of phpbb. It's not working for me.

Yes, that's one of the more complex MODs we inherited, and so it's on the delayed track for re-posting on the site. Smile

The simple MODs were easy enough to review and post. The complex ones (Send PM and Referrals are the two most complex MODs remaining) are going to take a bit more time.

I understand. They do look much more complex. Still, I'm glad to hear you're planning on working on them!

Maybe you can give me a head start... when you say it's not working, are there any specific symptoms you can provide? or is it simply that no PM is delivered?

That's it: No PM is delivered. I didn't see any other errors. It did seem as though the routine was being run. I placed some test messages in the code, like:

I'm planning on installing the MOD on this board in order to test. I don't use / enable PMs on any of the boards I run for various reasons, so I'll need to try installing it and see what happens. Cool

I don't like dealing with PMs, but there are times when forum members' email isn't working, so that's the only way to get a message to them.

There is a "Extended PM Notifications" mod that adds the subject and message to the notification email. That makes PMs more convenient (as long as your email is working).

I've reviewed the code, and I think I've found the answer. I've set up a test board (since the PM system has been removed from this one, it's sort of hard to test Wink

) and am waiting for the subdomain to become recognized so the cookies for the board will work. From looking at the code, however, I think I've got the fix.

The coming weeks are really booked solid for me, however, so no promises as to when I can deliver a working version for 2.20 (and beyond, hopefully). The code is really not difficult, it just seems that one of the default values used is not working for later versions of phpBB.

The update is complete, and ready for testing. If you want to test, please register at http://beta.phpbb2mods.com and ensure that you get the welcome PM. The issue was with how the value for phpbb_users.user_last_privmsg was getting set, and it's fixed. I also changed some other things around as well, but the main thing is that the function appears to be fixed.

If you test / register on the beta board and do not see the welcome PM, please let me know.

I registered at the beta site and got the welcome PM just fine. A popup telling me that I had a PM would have been nice. I may not have noticed I received one if I wasn't expecting it.

Got my PM also, that seems to work. I disabled the PM notifications during registration out of habit...
