General top message according to the group

[JulienT]

Hi,
I couldn't find this though I'm sure it's somewhere since used on this very website.
How is it done on vBulletin.org that a message appears at the top for unverified members?
I would like to be able to put various messages to members according to their user group.
E.g. for guests to register, for registered users to upgrade to a premium membership, ...
Thanks,
Julien

You could edit the FORUMHOME or header template and use the following conditional:

<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, X)">
<!-- HTML CODE TO DISPLAY TO THIS GROUP -->
</if>


Change X to the usergroupid number of the usergroup you want to display the message to. There might be a mod about somewhere.

Also this feature is available in 3.7 if you are prepared to wait till the stable version is released.

Thanks for info.
I cannot wait for the next version as I would like to deploy my forum asap and also because I use some mods that might not work anymore when moving to the next version.

I have found a great mod that is giving different messages depending on groups or if user not registered, ...
It's called "Welcome Headers" mod.
I modified that code to support all my groups and now I'm having what I needed to see.
Thanks for the pointer.
