While I'm asking questions, figured I would get in one more.

I run VBCMPS from vbAdvaced. The notice shows up on the front/home page as well and just doesn't sit right with me. Is there any way to remove that? I like having it in the forums, galleries, etc, just don't want it on my front page.

Any help would be appreciated.

You would need to modify the notices template by "wrapping" it in a set of conditionals such that it doesnt appear on whatever page you like...

i.e.

Code:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT != 'homepage' AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'other page'">

 

current code

 

</if>

I've been on some sites where the guest message travels with the length of the page. Bit of an 'annoyance' factor encouraging you to sign up. How, if at all, would I be able to set something like that up?

This isn't difficult but will require you to find a script and modify your welcome headers/ notices template to integrate it. There's several scripts out there... just google search "dhtml persistent window" or "dhtml floating message" and find the option that suits your needs.

Customize your notices template as you see fit. The template is a part of vBulletin's core code and not this addon.

I have installed this - but the welcome headers/notices are not visible on the style I am using. They do show up on the default style.

How do I get them to appear on my current style?

Kaycee123

OK - after several hours of fiddling around I finally figured it out:

If your Notices are not showing up on your customized style, you need to add this to your Navbar template wherever you want them to show up

PHP Code:


		
			
<if condition="$show['notices']">

    <table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

    <tr>

        <td class="thead">$vbphrase[notices]</td>

    </tr>

    <tr>

        <td class="alt1">$notices</td>

    </tr>

    </table>

    <br />

</if>

<if condition="$show['forumdesc']">

    <table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

    <tr>

        <td class="alt1" width="100%"><strong>$foruminfo[title]</strong> <span class="smallfont">$foruminfo[description]</span></td>

    </tr>

    </table>

    <br />

</if>

One other question - if a member meets the criteria for TWO different messages to show up, they are all lumped together in the Notices box. Is there a way of splitting the messages apart so it looks a bit neater??

Ted S

04-27-2008 08:55 PM

The notices are a function of vBulletin and something you would need to customize through vBulletin's templates. I've not written up documentation on this yet but will have some out shortly.

Give it a whirl and find out. :D

Side Note: 3.7.x refers to all versions within the 3.7 series.

Can some one tell me what this actually adds that vB doesn't have? I removed the mod and I still see options to reproduce what this mod did; as far as number of posts the user made, unlogged in, etc.

I guess you missed the mod description at the top of the page....

What is Welcome Headers?
Welcome Headers is a set of predefined messages and rules designed to help you get started in personalizing your site's notices using the vBulletin notice feature. The default templates are just that, default ? I highly encourage you to modify and add to the language and rules to meet the needs of your actual community environment.

I am trying to figure out which template I need to wrap this code around. Is it the navbar_noticebit template? Thanks again for this plugin....saves a LOT of time!

No I didn't miss the description at the top of the page....
I'm wondering does this just fill in some examples to work off of or does it add features you wouldn't normally be able to produce without this mod.

EDIT: Forget it

However, as most people don't want to think up a basic messaging strategy, this addon was ported to 3.7 in order help the thousands of users make a simple move and get a start on their notices.

I upgraded to the new version and I'm not seeing anyway to edit the settings.

There are no Notices that were created and there is longer any options in the AdminCP.

Where should I look to modify the settings?

It's not installed in product manager, trying too sends these emails.

Please help.

Thanks.

Ted, you wouldn't know which template it is for notices that I would need to wrap in order for it not to show up on the vba pages?

Thanks for this excellent mod! I saved my old setting from Welcome Headers and easily transferred them.

A note to others upgrading: I had to actually uinstall the old version, and reinstall this mod: overwriting it wouldn't do it. It took me a bit to realize it hadn't installed completely, but I was able to tell because it didn't have the new default notices.

And yes, registrations and posting have been up since I added welcome headers. :)

Ok, after a few hours of playing with conditions, I found a fix:

In navbar template:

Change:

Code:

<if condition="$show['notices']">

To:

Code:

<if condition="$show['notices'] AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'adv_index'">

This will keep notices from showing on any cmps pages which is what I needed. Just in case anyone else may need it :)

What emails?

Did you try and install it before and get cut off? Do you have any other notices setup on your site?

Ah this may be my problem as well. Let me give that a try.

I edited the XML install file and replaced send_message.php5 with sendmessage.php5 Still doesn't work. Get the same error.

I'm afraid you misunderstood him or her...that's not what they meant.

What they meant was in one of these 4 messages it has a link to "contact us" but instead of it saying sendmessage.php it's saying send_message.php. You must edit to sendmessage.php for the link to actually work. ;)

I guess there are a few that are created by default that are setup. I will try disableing them.

there are a few that are created by this product, but none by default. perhaps it was trying to reinstall the messages a second time?
