how to Vanilla forum Activity Welcome to Vanila! remove

R_J

The Activity is added with those lines:

// Insert the new user
$UserID = $this->_Insert($Fields, array('NoConfirmEmail' => TRUE));
AddActivity(
   $UserID,
   'Join',
   T('Welcome to Vanilla!')
);

Do not simply change those lines
Instead, you could override the function "AddActivity". Copy the function from /library/core/functions.general.php to a new file, say /plugins/MyAddActivity/functions.general.php. Change it like this:

<?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit();
function AddActivity($ActivityUserID, $ActivityType, $Story = '', $RegardingUserID = '', $Route = '', $SendEmail = '') {
   if ($ActivityType == 'Join' && $Story == T('Welcome to Vanilla!'))
      return;
   $ActivityModel = new ActivityModel();
   return $ActivityModel->Add($ActivityUserID, $ActivityType, $Story, $RegardingUserID, '', $Route, $SendEmail);
}

You would also have to create a most simple plugin file for that /plugins/MyAddActivity/class.myaddactivity.plugin.php so that you have a plugin you could activate in the dashboard

<?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit();

$PluginInfo['MyAddActivity'] = array(
    'Name' => 'My AddActivity',
    'Description' => 'Suppress "User Joined! Welcome to Vanilla" activity',
    'Version' => '1.0',
    'RequiredApplications' => array('Vanilla' => '2.0.18'),
    'MobileFriendly' => TRUE
);
class MyAddActivityPlugin extends Gdn_Plugin {
}

I have taken the AddActivity function from Vanilla 2.0.18.8 so please take the current function from your installation and just add the if clause.
I have not tested the code above, but it should work, I think. If not, come back and report what's happening.

I think he just wants the definition changed or removed. Add this to your locale.php file

$Definition['Welcome to Vanilla!']='';

Sometimes, even a crystal ball owner can't distill 3 to 4 word meaningless phrases. if a person can't express what they want in english, or post in their native language, probably a waste of time for all involved.

You just need to apply Occam's Razor principle .... the simplest answer is the correct answer 99.99% of the time.

I thought it was 99.95% of the time with a Standard Deviation 0f 50%

• It has the twin virtues of simplicity and mystery.

• Measured council spilling from your mouth.

and to OP

• Speak plainly I grow tired of mystery

• Cut circle with straight line and give voice of what you are seeking.

  and then I will leave it at

   - then we are face to face with a paradox.
  

How many yak's could a yak-shaver shave if yak-shaver could shave yaks (with an Occam's Razor).

Well actually, it is the simpler theory is the correct one until one with more thorough more complete explanation of the complex theory can obtained.

Since we are working with only a small amount of variables , applying this was logical and after you add the missing Variables it becomes clear :
