vb.org Archive - Board Optimization - Welcome headers - Improve community registration rates

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.

Your question is in the wrong hack thread...

But simply put, you would need to edit the php code contained in the plugin-xml file to not only check if the user is a guest but also if they are in that usergroup. It should only require a few additional characters of code and be fairly simple to do if you know basic php.

Hello Ted,

Thank you for this mod, it works superb!

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

It looks like you missed step 2 of the instructions and have not removed the base welcome header from your vbulletin FORUMHOME template, although you also appear to be using a custom template which may be setup differently. If you wish to leave this message but customize the text, you would either need need to the template with the second message and either create a new phrase or just put your content in directly to that spot.

I'm looking at this thread, but I'm not seeing the answer. Is it possible to only have the guests message encouraging registration show up on the vbadvanced CMPS landing page? I want it because I use the guest welcome header as the site description block of text. Is there a better way for me to be displaying that text? Thanks!

If all you want is a homepage message edit your homepage template as you see fit.

Makes sense. I suppose my real issue is that the welcome headers don't display at all on the vBadvanced CMPS landing page. They display fine in the forums. I seem to have the opposite problem of everyone else. I see some people trying to remove them, I'm not sure why they are not displaying to begin with.
