If 3 in a row people are getting it, Im sure the next people that try it will...

I found the error, it was in the URL tag at the top, there is no opening "<" on the closing URL tag.

Line 7 should be
<url>https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=807808</url>

downloaded but showing errors

XML Error: mismatched tag at Line 213

Sorry about that. I've updated the zip file.

Forgive me if this has been asked already (prolly has in 58 pages), but is there a workaround for custom usergroups with this hack? I think the last time I tried working with it was September last year and I wasn't having too much luck with that.

As a spam/flood buffer we basically have a probationary usergroup that requires 5 posts before most board features become available, so obviously I must customize messages for that group to inspire them to get to/past that post count.

That fixed it thank you for the update.

i currently have Welcome Headers 3.6 on my vbulletin forum (v3.6.5) and wish to upgrade my forum to the latest version, and also welcome headers as well to the latest version,

how should i go about doing this, should i upgrade vbulletin first or welcome headers? and will my settings (welcome messages) be deleted?

Upgrade first

Thanks,

should i uninstall welcome headers before i upgrade vbulletin, if so, how would i do this?

Just disable it and then upgrade it after

thanks

Great! New release today.

I'm going to install this, BUT, does it still wotk with the Limited Guest Viewing hack found here:-

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=131985

?

Many thanks!

There 2 different things, I see no problem with it

Yup. There are options in the welcome headers system settings to change how/ what is displayed if the limited guest viewing system is also on.

Re: Do you wish to display a global announcement message? Note: This will not show up for users who see other welcome messages.

...after the upgrade to 4.2.0, the Enable Global Announcement appears to Guests that also see the other welcome message. i believe the Global Announcements should NOT show to Guest (Unregistered) if the Welcome Message appears. Is this not correct?

That's correct.

Please download and install the latest version which fixes this issue (just released).

What version number is this new release suppose to be, 4.2.q or 4.2.1?

The one I downloaded shows 4.2.q

lol seeing as the 'q' is right below the '1' key on your keyboard, it's safe to assume it's a typo, and that it was meant to be 4.2.1.

@da420

I am sorry I see nothing funny in my question. Being a tester of many programs we often use letters for version (IE 3.5.1q) suffixes before releasing final to the public.

The question wasn't funny. The typo, to me, was mildly though.

Very nice..Installed. :up:

thnx! also, i always edit my installed mods so that they're group similar... for example what i've done to yours; and corrected the released version number. ;)

I'm seeing an issue. I installed this a few days ago before the last two minor updates, and everything worked great. Then, on a second site, I installed the latest version. But, when it shows the "Please register" info with the link to 'contact us', the contact us link is wrong.. it has the URL like this: http://www.blah.com/sendmessage.phps...145abe264387a& but, it needs a '?' between the php and the 's=....'.. How do I fix that? I'm guessing it's a typo, but can you confirm?

Otherwise, fantastic mod! :)

Solved it.. Go to Style Manager, welcome_headers

find:
replace it with:
Problem solved :)

k.thx
but can u just tell me will it do work like welcomepaneltemplate rewrite add-on also?

RE: Never Posted Message vs. Global Announcement

currently the Never Posted Message will supersede/override any Global Announcement; can this be changed? i haven't checked how other message react to one another, but this one stands out as important enough to probably warrant a change of sort.

Great Mod thank you...

I updated my xml but where it the welcome header in the Admin CP panel?

vBOptions

Thanks Shazz,

Right where you said.... :o

Like always :D

I've never used that plugin.

It sure can, this is why I release the latest upgrade. Just edit the template welcome_headers and move around the code for the messages as you see fit.

I installed and registrations went up from 30/day to 120/day (average), and no, that's not due to visitor increase ;). That's 400% more... Awesome!

one request to you..
plz see this add-on..i have installed it..
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=100672
ur hack will be compatible with it?

plz i'm not a programmer but a medical student so not much idea..
plz guide me

and i havent enabled vbseo than shd i add in header or in navbar template?

Try and and find out. If not, remove it.

Whichever you prefer. vbSEO recommends the navbar template.

Thanks Ted!

Which one is best to install first? Do the order of installation make a difference at all?

Thanks.

Makes no difference at all so start with this one, then move on.

Thanks for the fast reply. :)
