welcome message?

[dreck]

I would like to create another welcome message for members that have say 0 to 25 posts. Is their something I can replace the "<if condition="$show['guest']">" in this code to make it work?
<if condition="$show['guest']">
<!-- welcome message2 -->
<tr>
<td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>"><phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[welcome_to_the_x]</phrase></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>">
<phrase 1="faq.php?$session[sessionurl]" 2="register.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[first_visit_message2]</phrase>
</td>
</tr>
<!-- / welcome message2 -->
</if>

Thanks for the quick reply!

Yes, that is very good info.. I have seen this same info on another site.

But.. I would like to target users that have posts between 0 and 25..
I am not sure how to edit this code to work?
This info targets users with no posts.. unconfirmed, and no posts for 14 days..
I wanted to add a message with alittle info to let users know how to use the forum.
I have alot of problems with users not knowing how to post.

Thanks.

How about setting up a group and then a promotion based on posts, then you can add a condition for that group, so it would look something like this (change x to the group id):


<if condition="is_member_of($post, x)">
<!-- welcome message2 -->
<tr>
<td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>"><phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[welcome_to_the_x]</phrase></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>">
<phrase 1="faq.php?$session[sessionurl]" 2="register.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[first_visit_message2]</phrase>
</td>
</tr>
<!-- / welcome message2 -->
</if>
