Thank you!

This is a great Product and only took minutes to install and a little more time to customize for my site.

I'm so very close to being able to click "installed" for this, my first mod!
Right now I am trying to edit the "Enable Never Posted Message". I looks like it works fine because I get

BUT then I am taken to a 'Phrases' page...do I need to do anything there?

Thanks.

I never have and have not had any trouble at all. Curious what others have done though?

It appears you have not followed all of the instructions. You will need to (1) remove the exiting welcome header which has the wrong text and (2) add the $welcomeheaders variable to your header or navbar templates.

I apologize if this has already been addressed, but I don't have time to read 33 pages. This is an excellent mod, and I'd really like to install it. However, I'm curious what this mod does with spiders. My forum is ranked pretty high on the google forums because of the google spiders. Will this mod ignore the google spiders and let them lurk as they normally do? Does this mod only target "guest" and ignore "google spider" or "yahoo slurp spider"?

Thanks :)

Too bad. It really doesn't take very long to read the entire thread. But to spoon feed you, I doubt it will affect Google content spiders. I have a pretty well ranked site and have had this hack in for quite a while. My traffic continues to grow each month so I don't see it affecting my site traffic coming from Google.

It does tell Google AdSense not to consider the text within when figuring out what ads to place.

Thousands of sites use this with few, if any, reports of problems with their SERP listings. That said, you can turn your messages into images (rather than text) as vbSEO's site does which will reduce any potential SEO impact.

How would I structure the conditional statement to only show a particular welcome header phrase when the user is visiting a certain forum?

I tried this and it just showed it on every page of the forum... :(

Code:

                                  <if condition="$forum[forumid]=22">

                                        <!-- training forum announcement -->

                                        <br /> 

                                        <table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center"> 

                                        <tr> 

                                                <td class="alt1">

                                                        <phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]" 2="$vboptions[bbtitle]" 3="sendmessage.php$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[welcome_trainingdisclaimer]</phrase>

                                                </td>

                                        </tr>

                                        </table>

                                        <br />

                                        <!-- / training forum announcement -->

                                <else />

Thanks in advance.

Nevermind, I changed it from

Code:

if condition="$forum[forumid] == 22"

Code:

if condition="$forumid == 22"

And it started working.

Good thought! I put in code and several custom phrases for additional user groups I have, but hadn't thought of an individual forum code and phrase. :up:

Welcome Headers is just a framework, the most successful sites I've seen are those that really tailor their messaging to what their users do. This could be information on a specific forum, reminders to fill out a profile, use a new tool, etc...

Ya done good, TedS. ;)

works a treat 3.6.4 and you can include your own html code and be as creative as almost having it like a seo ripe home page, nice one!

Hi guys!

I am getting this error message;

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ']', expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/fabian/public_html/forum/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3596) : eval()'d code on line 159

when I doing Step 2 and parse it into the header.

I have no experience with PHP so please be gentle!

What can I do?

It sounds like you are removing or adding the wrong code, try again.

Sorry! My first ever PHP mod!

If I'm using an older version of this mod (version 4.0.6 for 3.5), should I completely uninstall the old version and re-install the new version or will the upgrade procedure in upgrade.html work?

I don't support integration with other hacks, you would need to look at the code or search for answers to that topic.

Wouldn't a standard announcement achieve the same thing? ;) It contains a global announcement option.
