@daftcyborg users automatically watch topics they create. So yes that notification option does what you want.
Welcome Notification and Term of Use
-
I filled these options out but not sure where to check if they're working. I tried registering on my site but did not see the Terms of use.
Welcome Notification
Welcome Notification Link
Forum Terms of Use (Leave blank to disable)
-
@evoixmr you will see an intermediate page with "Terms of Use" after you enter the required fields and click "Register Now".
Welcome notification is displayed in the notification dropdown in the header and notification route.
Welcome Notification Link is for cases when you want the user to visit a link when they click the welcome notification. If you want the new user to read a particular topic for example, you can set the url of the topic as the welcome notification link.

@pichalite I tried registering but did not see the page with "Terms of Use"
-
@evoixmr what's your NodeBB version and which theme are you using?
-
@pichalite V1.1.2./persona. It worked after restarting. Thanks.
-
@pichalite The "term of use" disappeared after reloading.
-
@evoixmr disappeared from where?
-
@pichalite The intermediate page with "Terms of Use" only works after restarting and it stop working if forum is reloaded. My forum requires reloading after restarting. No errors on log.
-
@evoixmr that's a bug... reported here
-
@pichalite My forum requires reloading after restarting. Is this normal?
-
@evoixmr no
-
@evoixmr Are you sure your forum is actually restarting?
-
@PitaJ Yes (not by itself). The calendar plugin needs reloading after forum start or restart to work properly. I posted here -> https://community.nodebb.org/topic/4401/nodebb-plugin-calendar-fully-featured-calendar-plugin-for-nodebb-testers-needed/150
Looks like the issue is closed, do I just wait for another update?
-
@evoixmr yes I saw that. How are you starting NodeBB?
./nodebb start? I am not getting this same issue on my local test environment and I have no idea why it would do this. What exactly isn't working before the reload? Also, by reload, you are referring to the NodeBB reload, not reloading your browser, right? -
@PitaJ Yes ./nodebb start. Then reload using ACP. Eveything works fine even without reloading but ACP saying "reload required" because of the test calendar, but reloading kills the "Term of use" page,
-
@evoixmr So everything works fine without reloading? It's just saying that a reload is required? Odd.
-
@evoixmr said in Welcome Notification and Term of Use:
Looks like the issue is closed, do I just wait for another update?
That issue was closed as part of a code change that removed reload option altogether (reload had other problems too). So, in the next NodeBB release you won't see the reload option.
-
@PitaJ I tried deactivating the calendar but it did not help. Although there's no warning about reload required, the Term of use page will be skipped once the forum is reloaded.
The calendar need both restart then reload when activated, but that's another issue. I'll wait for the next update on the other thread.
-
@evoixmr It doesn't make sense that a reload is required in addition to a restart, since a restart is a complete restart of NodeBB, and reload is only a partial reload, hence the name.
If calendar doesn't work on startup, then it seems like there are other issues here...
-
@julian I"m only seeing the issue when the calendar is activated. I also did not see any error or issue before reload, everything works even the term of use.
Reloading skips the term of use page -even without the calendar.
