That would not solve the question of how to ADD a message for another condition.

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

<if condition="!$show['guest']">

Your message here (be sure to add a table if you want to have a standard welcome headers format)

</if>

Actually; Let me go into more detail here.

On my Forum Home I placed $welcomeheaders in the original vBulletin Guest Welcome Box.

What I want to do, is show a second $welcomeheaders on Forum Home for members who've logged in.

Does that make any sense?

No problem. Just use the same code I pasted in your FORUMHOME template where ever you'd like the message to appear.

You can copy the table HTML from the welcome_headers template if you want to reuse that layout style.

Hi Ted and thank you for this hack. It's great!

I've been trying to put a 100% table into the welcome header phrase (but the % sign keeps getting stripped out) - is there a way around this? I'd like to have a table with 3 equal columns and use percentages (not pixels) as I don't have a fixed width board. Any way of achieving this?

Thanks

Clancy

Try editing the template welcome_headers and modify the tables there.

Hi Ted, thanks for the quick response.

I don't think that will work will it? I want to put three different columns with three different messages in those columns for say members that have never posted... and then maybe two columns for the global announcement message. I won't be able to do this by altering the template will I?

Hope that makes sense. Thanks again,

Clancy

Sure it will. Each message has a distinct set of HTML code which you can edit however you like. The phrases are only provided to make life easier for "standard" changes to the text.

A little patience please. I offer support but sometimes you do have to wait a few hours.... :D

You can edit your phrases to include any links you want by going to your vbulletin admin --> options --> welcome header system.

Ted S

07-12-2007 01:07 AM

You can assign the variable 7="$vbulletin->userstats['numbermembers']" by editing your template and phrase. This is untested.

Hey, I'm looking for that quick register mod for 3.6.7.
Any idea where I can find it?

So just go into the welcomeheader template and put

Code:

7="$vbulletin->userstats['numbermembers']"

Anywhere?

Ted S

07-12-2007 02:00 AM

Put it in the phrase. After the other variables.

In the <phrase ...> tag you want to use. Each message has it's own tag and html code, it's all commented to mark them.

Ted,

I don't know if it was suggested before, but here is a suggestion regarding the inactivity welcome header for existing forum members. One of my members complained in an e-mail that she got so annoyed with the message that she decided not to check out the forums anymore. ;( On the other hand I still believe this particular feature of your hack is great to enable non-posters to become posters again.

My suggestion: What about adding a small check button in the inactivity welcome header which a user can click to disable the reminder for x days (as defined in the control panel?). I may be wrong but I think it would only require a few additional Javascript lines to do that.

Best,
Alex

xcingix

07-12-2007 08:20 AM

7="$vbulletin->userstats['numbermembers']" didnt work. Everything else did.

Ted S

07-12-2007 03:25 PM

Then I don't know what to tell you -- I found that variable in one of the script and it looked global, guess not. You would have to find the proper variable or write a plugin to query the database and add it to your phrase.

Alex,

This has come up a few times before...

I can't think of any way to do this without queries which I'd like to avoid. But I'm still thinking.

Ted, I am by no means a Javascript expert (I much prefer server-based languages), but shouldn't it be possible to control this all via Javascript? Via Javascript, you could set an additional cookie when a user clicks on the close button and that cookie could contain information when it was the last time the message popped up.

Ted S

07-12-2007 07:14 PM

Using a cookie like that is an option but it also has limitations (i.e. users who use multiple machines) but may be the best option.

AlexanderT

07-13-2007 07:42 AM

True. Well, it'd be fantastic if you could implement something like this (cookie-based message click away) if you get the chance. In the meantime I'll disable the inactivity welcome header because of the negative feedback I received from it.

Still, one of the most useful hacks. Thanks!

Go to the welcome headers options and select the messages you wish to modify.

This is appearing on every page, any way to limit it to the home page?

Sorry if this is answered already.

Ted S

07-19-2007 05:26 PM

You could edit the template welcome_headers adding the variable THIS_SCRIPT == 'index' but that would defeat the entire purpose of the hack and I wouldn't recommend using it.

Remember, just because it's your homepage doesn't mean it's the page someone comes to your site through.
