I see when i click register or contact with the new header..it takes doesn't have mysite.com/forum.register.php it has mysite.com/register.php and all that is uploaded under my forum folder..how can i change this?

I see... i need to add it to my vBadvanced CMPS v2.2.1 section.how do I change this? it's on my root.

Mrdby,

Unfortunately I am not familiar with the vBadvanced system and can't help you with your integration to it. However, there are some discussions of this in the past if you search this thread.

I mean..just the code itself?..ok i will look. Thanks

NO good ted..not in here..thanks anyway

what was i thinking..I just edited the guest message and replaced it with the register and sendmessage link from the forums.

NOW it works with CMPS

Marked installed, and it's a great mod.

I have some other apps (Photopost, vbadvanced) integrated with vb, and they show the guest headers, which is great. However, the contact link shows the wrong path when view from these integrated pages.

Also, I like the unconfirmed reminder, but don't want it to show to my COPPA group (I've been using that as my banned group). Can I change this?

Sure thing Doug. Just open up the welcome_headers template and change the group for your unconfirmed message to whatever group you prefer (it's commented and marked in the template). As fr the contact link, you can also change that by editing the template or phrase.

Thanks for the tip, but I'm afraid I'm dumber than I look. I found this:

Does that mean it only shows to members of usergroup 3? Or does that "AND" add another group?

OT:
I noticed this while I was in there, what does this mean:

No, it only checks for the usergroup 3. The AND condition checks to see if you have enabled that particular message.

The other code you referred to is something to help Google AdSense users keep their ads relevant by telling Google to ignore the welcome headers content.

Thanks.

And I use AdSense, so thanks for that, as well. Nice touch.

Hello,

The welcome headers have worked great for me for some time now, thank you!

Is there a way to make them display on my arcade page too?

For some reason users in the arcade, even though they see the navbar, do not get the welcome headers.

Hey,

Do Can I Use It? Its Not Even Working! How Do I Post It?

boooo

Whoa... Calm down sir :)

:erm:

What kind of problems are you having? Specific problems

Have you installed the hack? Have you made the template modifications required? Are you visiting the board as a guest or a member?

I'm glad to help you out but let's be clear on a few things... first off, this hack and the version for 3.5 has be installed thousands of times, so it works fine, if you're having a problem, I can help you solve it but have a little patience -- I offer to support my hacks but no where does it say the support is instant, this is a free product afterall.

Should this work? Thank you.

-Raymond

I can't offer troubleshooting with other hacks as I don't know them or the code used to produce them. I imagine the arcade has different logic and possibly different templates which you should look at.

I'm confused. The arcade includes the standard vbulletin navbar. The welcome headers are part of the navbar. Every other piece of my navbar (includes the 3 boxes below it, welcome headers are the top box). Everything displayed except the welcome headers. Is there anything that I can do to troubleshoot this issue myself? It would be great if guests who land on my arcade homepage would see the welcome headers information and forums registration link. It doesn't look to be a /forums/ thing since I can go to other directories underneath such as the blogs folder and they work OK there.

-Raymond

I asked in the arcade support forum too. They say the arcade does not use templates?

So, I guess my next question is, is there a snippet of code I can manually include to the arcade that -might- display the welcome headers?

-Raymond

Welcome Headers uses templates (that's all the code really is) which are fetched with the command:

You could certainly add that as a plugin or to the source where-ever you like and once envoked, the $welcomeheaders variable will be active.

how you doing...i installed the product, made the 2 templates changes and its not working for me...My old welcome message is still showing up...I viewed the board as a guest after i made the first edit (to remove the orig. welcome message) and it was still there after i did that...So i figured what the hell, lets finish the installation anyway and see what happens...Well, its not working for me and i cant really figure out why..

This is a great mod, but it would be even better if the text got entered on the mod options page instead of via edit phrases. I edit the phrase, then have to manually nav back to the options page and click the link again if I want to re-edit.

If the old message is showing up then your template hasn't been modified (if it had been, there would be no original message to show). If you have multiple tempalate sets you may have to do this for each master style.

well, it has been modified and i changed what the instructions said to change and the orig welcome message is still there....no lie

I'm not sure what to tell you; if you had removed the message then it wouldn't be there at the very least. If you PM me the url to your forum I can tell you what's been changed.

Very nice, installed. :)

Ted S, thanx for a great mod :up:

Can I suggest an addition for this mod. Can we have a header message shown for specific groups with a "read" button to remove it once it has been read? Kinda like and announcment?
So if we have 2 or three options to specify a desired usergroup with the desired header info and a read button at the bottom?

-PB

Had the mod installed, great.

However I need clarity on one thing, but I haven't read the 48 pages of this thread either.

If the external link takes you to a thread, could even be for example page 10 of a thread, is the welcome header supposed to show?

If any page call the 'header' template then it 'll appear on that page. So your answer is yes.

If vBulletin has a forum software upgrade what should I do???
I mean I am editing files now.. when the software is upgraded would the code not mix up?

Hi, in my forumhome there is not: <if condition="$show['guest']">
I cannot find it...

Why???

The headers will show up on any page within the standard vbulletin system (and even most addon pages unless they don't use normal templates).

This addon uses a plugin. When you upgrade vbulletin it should continue to work unless there is a massive change to the system, in which case an upgrade would be released to this addon as well.

Either you already modified the template, are using a custom style that does not include that code or didnt find the code.

I installed it.
Ps very easy to do thanks

I just am scared that with a major vbulletin update it all becomes a problem (add ons)

Was able to change the color background by adding an additional CSS from this guide http://www.vodahost.com/vodatalk/sta...nd-colour.html
Now trying to get the dotted border. Anyone has any tip on how to use CSS to add the dotted border. Thanks

Great hack!!

I installed it on a 3.6.5 board and it works as long as I'm a guest or if the user has never made a post. But as soon as I log in as a user who has been active it doesn't show the messages anymore. The same go's for the admin account.

Both do see the "special" messages.

Got any suggestions?

Enable the messages you want to show up in your Admin CP --> Options --> Welcome Header System.

While this is not the place for css help, here goes:

Just plug that in to your main <div> or <table> tag.
