RedTurtle -- If LGV is installed, the welcome headers will not show up on the showthread page. Thsi can of course be changed if you like...

Just go to your ACP and be sure the option "Limited Guest Viewing Surpression" is turned off. If you don't have this option, upgrade. ;)

Sure. Put the $welcomeheaders variable in the end of your navbar template instead of the header template.

Change the welcome_headers template as you see fit.

From your ACP to go to your options, select Welcome Heaer System and each message has an "edit" link.

That didn't work for me. I put it at the very bottom of the navabar template. Was that not correct?

For example:

I created my guest message with about 30 lines of text. I want the bottom portion to be 2 columns, which of course requires 2 rows as well, only the 2nd row has 2 columns. What is the proper vbulletin compatible code for this?

Could someone please help me on this?

As stated in the instructions, go to your admin control panel, vbulletin options and select the welcome header system. There will be links to edit any of the messages.

You can do this with normal html but this thread is not the place for html support.

Chadi

03-12-2007 05:01 PM

I actually did use normal html, but it messed up the entire forumhome view. I'll provide a screenshot in a moment.

Chadi

03-12-2007 06:11 PM

Ok this is the html I used (see results in screenshot please)

Code:

I also tried without the <html> and without <body> codes as well, still the same result. As you can see in the screenshot, somehow the vbseo footer copyright appeared in the welcome header :D

ConqSoft

03-12-2007 06:15 PM

You don't want HTML and BODY tags around that. Those should only appear once per page, and vBulletin already does that.

vBSEO inserts its copyright before the closing BODY tag, so that would be why it got inserted there. You can edit your footer template and add  to force the location of the copyright message.

Chadi

03-12-2007 06:19 PM

Thanks. I've tried again without html and body code, works better (removed vbseo copyright) but still one very ODD problem

The row that says:

100% Scripture, 100% Jesus Christ

is showing up as this on the forumhome headers:

100cripture, 100esus Christ

Why is that? Is it the % character? I cannot imagine it would be.

ConqSoft

03-12-2007 06:22 PM

Try using this instead of the percent sign: & # 3 7 ; (without the spaces)

That worked! Thanks a lot for your help.

Hello

First I would like to thank TED S for this wonderful mod.

I'm not sure if some one already ask this question: can I limit the announcement for certain groups?

For example. I just post a new announcement, in the announcement I'm trying to encourage the user to subscribe and I don't want the already subscribe users to see it again. Can I do that?

Edit the template welcome_headers as you see fit.

Thank's very much Ted S. Despite having dozens of mods on various forums, some hugely complicated and impressive in their own right, this might well create the most revenue long term and be the most useful mod I have ever had installed . Thanks for your time, stroke of genius.

If you look at the sample output attached...

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...6&d=1151192636

...you will notice that somehow, the administrator was able to indent the bulleted points. How did he do that? I've been trying everything under the sun for the past two hours, and cannot figure out how to code this in my guess message from within the Phrase Manager.

Anyone?

It's called an ordered list and is a basic HTML tag.

Code:

<ul>

<li>Item 1</li>

<li>Item 2</li>

<li>item 3</li>

</ul>

And please, have a little patience before bumping a thread -- it hasn't even been a day.

Hi All,

Perhaps I missed it but how to include a link to an existing forum in the phrase?

Thanks for the response. Worked like a charm. I believe part of the problem is that the last time I actually programmed was in the days of the Digital PDP-11 and Apple II Plus, mostly in BASIC and FORTRAN. I get confused with the PHP, html, xhtml, vb code, etc. Images and quotes within the body of vBulletin text, for instance, employ the use of brackets, e.g., . I'm not sure what name is given to this latter type of code. In the Admin CP, when editting the header, it apparently uses html?
