Oh I will use it. It is the mod to have bar none. I would give all the gee-whiz mods away to just have the return that this mod has. This mod is great. 8)

You may be right. I could have dinged the code myself. But I won't know until tomorrow because I am suspending al judgment until then. I had a good dinner and a couple drinks. Good night! :)

New version worked great. So who knows!

Would it be possible to show announcements over certain threads and not others? I don't know too much about conditional statements but I'm guessing ti might have something to do with those...

Any help?:confused:

nice installed ;)

How can I get the welcome messages to show up with Vbportal installed. They show up fine while in the forums are but not in the portal area?

You would need to add them to the templates that control that system.

HOW? I have no clue how to do that?

I don't provide support with integrating welcome headers with other systems. You may have some luck searching this thread or their forum for integration tips.

Hi Ted... :)

Question: I've got this set so guests go through a few posts in a specific "Feature of the Month" forum, then start getting the message they should register. I then let them go through a few more posts and set up the blocking message.

So, to circuvent the block and keep reading threads, some have found the trick of creating a fake email address that bounces (ie: test@yahoo.com) which gets them into the non-guest state usergroup "Users Awaiting Email Confirmation".

By doing this, they are now able to continue to read threads as long as they want, with no intention of ever having to register properly.

I guess the question is....

How can I get the two usergroups # 3 - Users Awaiting Email Confirmation and #1 - Unregistered / Not Logged In to be treated the same and accumulative in their post count? In otherwords, if they were blocked as guests, is there a way of having that block stay in place until the actually confirm their email address and become usergroup #2 - Registered?

Thanks for your work ... :up:

Badger

Hello Ted,

Thank you for this mod, it works superb!

I need a help with a small change I am looking at.

Please see the attached screen shot of my site showing the message for a vistior (not logged in just lurking).

This message - "Register Today, it is FREE and you could WIN a T-shirt! Don't miss to interact...", it appears in 2 locations...

1) Below the navbar breadcromb, left of the login panel.
2) Below the Forum menu as a separate block - which keeps repeating in all pages within the forum the visitor would navigate.

I know that both locations are showing the same message because of the "navbar" template calling the "welcomeheader" template which uses the phrase welcome_guest.

Just to let you know I am calling the 'welcomeheader' template in 'navbar' and NOT in 'Forumhome' since I am running vbseo.

I want to know, if it's possible to display a different message in the below breadcrumb location and not the same as below the forum home, so that I can use the locations for different messages.

Like in the below breadcrumb - welcome message informing about my community
In the below forum menu - tempting a visitor to register.

Thanks in advance for you suggestion.
