How to automatically send a new user a welcome message

[Kyttias]

I'm not in the best position to test this, but for v1.3.4, open up view/registerview.php, and find:

PHP Code:

if($mysidia->input->post("submit")){
    $document->setTitle($this->lang->success_title);
    $document->addLangvar($this->lang->success.$mysidia->input->post("username").$this->lang->success2);    
    return;
} 


and replace it with:

PHP Code:

if($mysidia->input->post("submit")){
    $document->setTitle($this->lang->success_title);
    $document->addLangvar($this->lang->success.$mysidia->input->post("username").$this->lang->success2);

    $pm = new PrivateMessage(); // Send them a welcoming message
    $pm->setsender('YourUsernameHere');
    $pm->setrecipient(htmlentities(addslashes(trim($mysidia->input->post("username")))));
    $pm->setmessage("the message title", "put your welcoming message here");
    $pm->post();  
    
    return;
} 


Could someone test this?
