Actually Tim I realised that you wanted the module to be shown for the rest of the session after registration, but not for subsequent logins. This is a little more challenging. It's difficult to detect when someone is bouncing through from the registration event itself in order to trigger the module to start to display, so I'd suggest that we use the mechanism that detects for how long someone has been registered. We could try this:

If user has been registered for less than 15 minutes and is logged in, then set a session variable.
- if the session variable is set, then show the module.
The session variable automatically expires at the end of a "Session" i.e. there's a timeout you can set in Joomla for how long a session lasts for after the user does their last action on the site.

So it could look like this in PHP:

if ($user->id > 0 and $core_genius->check("minutessinceregistration <= 15")) {
  $_SESSION['show_reg_message'] == true;
}
if (isset($_SESSION['show_reg_message']) and $_SESSION['show_reg_message'] == true) {
  return XXX;
  // replace XXX with module id of module to show
}

Hopefully that will do the right thing. The only downside is that if the user logs out and in during that 1st 15 minutes then they will see the message in both sessions, but hopefully this will not be too much of a disadvantage.

Oops, yes, I can see why. I put in a stray "=". Replace the 2nd line with this. Note the single "=" instead of double "==".

  $_SESSION['show_reg_message'] = true;

Sorry about that. I just tested the revised version and it seems to work for me.

Hi Tim,

I'm surprised it's not working properly... can't imagine how it can possibly show up for people who have been registered for 20 days.

Could you try the following in the PHP box, then log in as one of those users who have been registered for more than 20 days and see what the front end tells you?

echo "minutes since registration: " . $core_genius->info("minutessinceregistration");

Thanks,
Stephen
