Hey! Look at this, its a wonderful welcome panel, which, to be honest, is wonderful.:D
(Thanks to Tony for telling me to release more Template Mods)
Author:ffdcsite
Descrition:This Modification will add a nice look to your forum home page. It is set out neatly, easy to understand. And generally wondeful.
Features: This Mod comes with some cool features such as Private Message info, Forum info and the members general info (Username, title, posts, last visit)
Notes: This mod can display your avatar. But ONLY avatars that the members have uploaded themselves. Any avatars chosen from root/images/avatars will simply not show up. Another note is that YOU will have to modify the table colors. Im sorry for that little let down. Im very tired
BugsSo far, I have encountered no bugs at all:)

Nice work, although I don't think the PM's should be in there.

This hack looks really nice if you sit down and work with it. I felt that having the user av info and all that good stuff was alittle much and made it look huge however large the info and av was so I changed some stuff moved it around and also removed it. Call it a tweak if you will. Here's what I did. Great hack again and sorry if you dont want me to release a tweak so soon or whatever.
Screenie in next post.
Note: All I did was edit ffdcsite hack and instructions. I do not claim to have made it

That's under there because I'm not sure if I want to keep this welcome home panel. To get rid of the pm just go to forumhome and delete $pminfo.

Well thats simple. Misses alot of User Info stuff though. But that doesn't matter.

08-31-2002, 02:39 AM

Now I like that version.
Too much space though.

Hey, thats pretty good pennylessz28:) I might just have to steal that for other versions of my welcome panel:D

08-31-2002, 02:30 PM
Feel free to were is a copy of the changes I made:
I have a question though, the avatar image and any text I stick under it always link to edit avatar. How can I prevent this? Any ideas?
assassingod
08-31-2002, 05:16 PM
Thanks pennylessz28:)
No idea:confused: Though, I didnt put $avatarimage
PennylessZ28
08-31-2002, 06:04 PM
I made a few more changes today: screenshot of welcome panel (http://www.hr3rdgen.org/images/welcome_panel_ss.gif)
However I tried using your <img src="{FORUMURLHERE}avatar.php?userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]&dateline=$bbuserinfo[dateline]">
And my avatar won't show up, poop! however it works with $avatarimage, now go figure :(
Hurm......:rolleyes:
assassingod
08-31-2002, 07:32 PM
Well first off, you need to change {FORUMURLHERE} to your forum URL :p :rolleyes: Lol:P
And that code I gave only shows avatars that are self uploaded
PennylessZ28
08-31-2002, 09:04 PM
Now I feel stupid...
[UPDATE]

Tony G
09-03-2002, 08:05 AM

Hye Penny where do you install urs at? Do you have any instructions?
assassingod
09-03-2002, 10:04 PM
Blah:p Methinks he posted some instructions, check the first or second page
TvNut
09-03-2002, 10:08 PM
Nope...there is some text but not where and how to insert it....blah
assassingod
09-03-2002, 10:11 PM
What I suggest, is take that code penny has given, and add it to my instructions, replaced my welcome panel. Try that:)

09-03-2002, 11:46 PM
hey i was kinda thinking, is there a way to make it so if they arent registered, it says To enable private messaging, Register and it takes the "log out" off? ill try to do that... if i get it to work ill post it :D
Tony G
09-04-2002, 04:59 AM
It takes out Logg Off because your not logged in if your not registered. No point of having it there then.
assassingod
09-04-2002, 06:47 AM
Why dont you just move the $logincode out of the Welcome panel?
girard747
09-04-2002, 03:11 PM
This is what it looks like, i took out the forum name ;)
girard747
09-04-2002, 03:16 PM
and i changed it a bit in frontpage, just to show what i want it to look like, i never actually put THIS one on my forum......
assassingod
09-04-2002, 03:25 PM
Looks good:) Got the code for it though?
girard747
09-04-2002, 03:35 PM
what do you mean? i WANT it to do that lol i cant find how to make it so if you're not logged in, it just shows the Please Register one lol :(
assassingod
09-04-2002, 03:38 PM
Oh yeah, sorry :rolleyes:
I misread your post. Im not sure if it can be done by HTML, methinks PHP would need to be involved, which needs to be asked at vb.org
But then again, I could be wrong. I cant think today:rolleyes:
girard747
09-04-2002, 03:59 PM
nah, it doesnt bother me that much, i dont really care its just a little forum hosted on my computer :) http://68.43.48.51/Forum :D
dont think that just cause its small that its keeping you from signing up :) j/p i dont care
assassingod
09-04-2002, 04:41 PM
Try it anyway, I could be wrong

Oh yeah my header is messed up currently redesigning site :)
Nevermind :( Anyway of makingit show "any" avatar instead of just self uploaded ?
assassingod
09-06-2002, 06:51 AM
No, sorry. I cant think of a way without editing PHP script. Which classes as a hack. Sorry
girard747
09-14-2002, 05:46 PM
I DID IT!!!! I FIGURED HOW TO DO IT!!!! AHAHAHAHAH I WIN! ill post it in my next 2-3 posts :)

i still have to work a bit with the code... the login doesnt work right now.. LOL but ill try to have it out today or tomorrow :D
assassingod
09-14-2002, 09:03 PM
Yep! Thats great work there!
Ok there's too many pages to this thread to read through, so i'll just reply here even if it's been said already:
ffdcsite: you should use replacement variables in your template modifications, instead of using hard coded colours. Using replacement variables means it's automatically incorporated into other peoples' styles/colours :)
assassingod
09-14-2002, 10:25 PM
Yeah, I know.:oIts just that I usually release a mod after I have put it on my own forum and I rarely ever use replacement variables:p Sorry >.<
For the sake of your own forums you should use variables, what if you add a new style set and you want to copy the template over :-O
assassingod
09-15-2002, 11:50 AM
Very true:) Advice taken:p

the original welcome template to this thread is great, is there a way for it to use non-uploaded avatars??? so that it will display avartar that are obtained from the forum it self??
assassingod
09-16-2002, 06:06 PM
Thanks:)
Sadly, I have found no-way of using all kind of avatars. Only self-uploaded.
The only way would be through PHP editing
The Welcome Panel was nice when logged in, but it wasn't complete while logged out. I dont know if anyone else had this problem so I simply fixed it and changed the WP and unregmessage around a bit. This was made more for a newbie, like myself. I need tutorials or i'll just throw the monitor out from the window. ;)

Sure. I'm pretty sure you guys are way far ahead though. I feel so small. :o
assassingod
09-17-2002, 03:08 PM
Thats pretty good. Probably add it to my instructions and give you & pennylessz28 lots of credit:)
Nice.. although Iv'e hacked my welcome panel up way more than that. Thanks though. I could work with this.
assassingod
09-18-2002, 07:37 PM

thanks for the mod. wish the colours would auto-adjust so i wouldn't have to redo them for every style i upload. :P
thanks though. looks great.
Tony G
10-20-2002, 02:23 AM
It's possible, just use {firstaltcolor} and {secondaltcolor} to call the colors of the style that is in place.
assassingod
12-06-2002, 06:41 PM
I would like to announce that a new version of the WPE will be released shortly. It will have more features than the current one, as well as {firstaltcolor} & {secondaltcolor} varibles in this time.
E.T.A mid december

A good idea, silly design. I'll post my design soon, so you can compare it.

Cool - Cant wait to see it
My estimate of the WPE2 was a little off;) Stopped for a bit

Well, I had to do loads of modifications on that welcome panel. But it was fun though. I enjoyed it. And I'm still not done messing with it. But well.
