Hello,
It’s my first extension, so if you find some bugs or may be you have an advice how to make it more useful for you just write down or send me a PM.

Upload + activate, write greeting message (u can use {username},{screen_name}, {email}, {site_name}, {site_url} tags inside), choose the sender and you are ready for the First Contact.


Note:
*If you have email activation, message will be send after user activation.
**It works with user registration by CP, theyself or with User module from SolSpace.

Enjoy:

Hiya,

Actually couldn’t wait to test it out so did! wink

I don’t know if it is just me or not but I tried this on a couple of ExpressionEngine installs and when I clicked install I initially got a blank screen, once I went back to the admin page by typing in the address in the browser I could see that the extension was installed and I could change the settings but upon installing it the page went blank. May be me though as I have added a few extensions and plugins to the system although I wouldn’t have thought any of them would make this happen.

One other thing I noticed was that when I registered on the site it did indeed send out the e-mail right after I had confirmed registration but the {username} variable came up as {username} and wasn’t converted into the actual username.

Looks like a good start to a nice extension though other than those couple of things. They may of course have been something silly that I did though, I’ve been known to do that from time to time!! wink grin wink

Best wishes,

Mark

Thanks for quick feedback! smile
The bug with {username} is fixed and can you check - is it still blank screen after installation?
