Hi, here is my method to make auto greeting for new members.

Open profile_activate.php (dolphin root derictory)

find:

sendMail($site['email_notify'], $aTemplate['Subject'], $aTemplate['Body'], $p_arr['ID']);

and after it add:

$sMessageBody = 'YOUR GREETING MESSAGE BODY HERE';

        $sMessageSubject = 'YOUR GREETING MESSAGE SUBJECT HERE';
               
                $sQuery =
                    "
                        INSERT INTO
                            `sys_messages`
                        SET
                            `Sender`       = '1', 
                            `Recipient`    = {$p_arr['ID']},
                            `Subject`      =  '{$sMessageSubject}',
                            `Text`         =  '{$sMessageBody}',
                            `Date`         = NOW(),
                            `New`          = '1',
                            `Type`         = 'letter'
                    ";
               
               
                $result = db_res($sQuery);

If you want to change the SENDER of your greeting, change digit in `Sender`       = '1', to id what you want. '1' is id of admin.

I THINK THAT THIS METHOD WORKS ONLY WHEN E-MAIL CONFIRMATION IS ACTIVATED (AS ON MY SITE), BUT I'M NOT SURE, TEST YOURSELF.

Very nice. This is need when they first visit the site.

Thanks!
