The version I have installed is already 4.2.1 is this the latest version, or didnt you update the product number?

Ted S 06-22-2007 11:19 PM

The version numbers are accurate; if you're running 4.2.1 as stated in your Plugin Manager, you're good to go.

So was there an update then?
because I have not updated anything in a long while.

Ted S 06-23-2007 04:26 PM

Hum, in that case you may want to upgrade again. Sounds like something got out of sync.

Cyn 06-23-2007 09:03 PM

Fab mod! Thanks so much for it!!

We have several different styles with varying background colors. We are placing an adsense ad within the Welcome Header. I did this by editing the phrase for the welcome header and including the adsense code. This works fine; however, we need to place the appropriate colors for each style to allow the adsense ad to blend well.

I thought I could do it by editing the welcome_header template for each style but it does not place the adsense ad within the header box. It places it to the side as a separate box. What am I doing wrong?

Ted S 06-23-2007 11:01 PM

It sounds like you are editing the HTML incorrectly. Each message is a separate tale so you can either add code to each table in the template or setup the code in another if you want to show the code in another way.

Thanks Installed

I only want the Adsense to display to Guests. I placed it within this table in the welcome_headers template for the style I wanted it to display in:
Quote:

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="alt1">
<phrase 1="faq.php?$session[sessionurl]" 2="register.php?$session[sessionurl]" 3="$vboptions[bbtitle]" 4="sendmessage.php$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[welcome_guest]</phrase>

</td>
</tr></table>
And the code I am using is the same as that for displaying adsense in posts in this mod:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=140664

So, how would I place that to make it display as I wish - to the right of the welcome header message, but within the template so that I can apply different color codes for the different styles?

Or, do I need to use conditionals for each style directly in the phrase for the welcome header?

Ted S 06-25-2007 12:40 AM

To make the adsense code only appear to guests, you would only want to modify the welcome header message that guests see (the guest message). As far as how to format the layout, I don't offer HTML assistance but there are several areas including the code forum here at vBulletin.org where you can ask that type of question.

Cyn 06-25-2007 08:12 AM

Okay, I'll ask for input on the format for the layout elsewhere. I do understand that I need to edit the message that guests see. But that does not answer my specific question about the different adsense colors for each style or I am not able to distinguish what you mean by "modify the welcome header message." Do I edit the template for each style? Or, do I edit the welcome message in the translation box within the phrase manager? If the latter, how do I acheive the different colors for each style? Do I use conditionals to place different adsense code for the different styles' colors?

zincpony 06-25-2007 11:21 AM

how can i include this in my vbAdvanced CMPS Index Page?

You will need to make your edits for the welcome_header template in each parent style. For example, if you have 2 main styles with different variations under them, you would only have to modify the templates in the main style; the changes will then flow into the variations under them.

There's no need to use conditionals for each style as templates are set per-style.

Have you verified that the plugin system is enabled and if so:

When you view your vBulletin options list, what options appear after "Paid Memberships"?

It sounds like there's something wrong with the version you downloaded, try downloading and extracting the files again. Let me know if the problem persists.

You can modify the spacing and styles by editing the template welcome_headers. There are several <br /> tags you may want to try removing.

Forumnerds 06-27-2007 10:42 AM

Well after paid sub's i see welcome header messages

Ted S 06-27-2007 05:06 PM

That's where you can change the messages and settings. The style, html and spacing is changed by editing the template welcome_headers.

Thank you Ted, downloaded it again and its working now!

I have another question, after I installed this mod, Internet Explorer shows at the bottom bar:

"ready with errors"

When I remove the hack its all fine.

Anyone experienced this before?

Regards,

Hi, Would love to use this mod, however ran into problem when I went to edit FORUMHOME. I have this piece of code:

Quote:

<if condition="$show['guest']">
<!-- guest welcome message -->
<table style="height: 36px;" width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="16" style="background: url(tiger/misc/forumtitle-left.gif) top left no-repeat;" ></td>
<td style="background: url(tiger/misc/forumtitle-left-bg.gif) top left repeat-x; padding-top: 5px" class="titlelinks">?<phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[welcome_to_the_x]</phrase></td>
<td width="109" style="background: url(tiger/misc/forumtitle-mid.gif) top left no-repeat;" ></td>
<td style="background: url(tiger/misc/forumtitle-right-bg.gif) top left repeat-x;" >&nbsp;
</td>
<td width="15" style="background: url(tiger/misc/forumtitle-right.gif) top left no-repeat;" ></td>
</tr>
</table>
<div class="ring1">
<div class="ring2">
<div class="ring3">
<div class="ring4">

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="alt1" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>">
<phrase 1="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]" 2="register.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[first_visit_message]</phrase>
</td></tr>
</table>
</div></div></div></div>
<br />
<!-- / guest welcome message -->
</if>
Any suggestions at all please :)

Very strange. This hack doesn't use any javscript to be able to create errors... when you check the error, where does it show it as appearing and what code is on the surrounding lines?

Remove it. Install the hack. Add the $welcomeheaders variable. Call it a day!

There are no known bugs or pending problems with this addon.

Mischievious 07-02-2007 03:01 PM

Hi! I love this hack! But, I do have a question; How would I write a conditional to show the welcomeheaders for only logged members?

vitrag24 07-02-2007 03:05 PM

@ted s plz reply to my query.
i have also sent you a pm but no response either here or via pm.

Ted did you take the support off from the thread? :erm:

Simple enough!

Open up the template welcome_headers and find the last <if ...> statement and the corresponding </if>. Under that add:

Code:

<if condition="!$show['guest']">
Your message here (be sure to add a table if you want to have a standard welcome headers format)
</if>

I offer support whenever possible as evidenced by all the responses. ;)

That said, when I have the support option enabled some members feel this is a guarantee of a response, thus I've disabled it so there is no confusion.
