There is no welcome headers version 3.8.3.

Modification versions are not correlated to vbulletin versions. Depending on the age and number of audits to a mod it could be at version 1.0 for vbulletin 3.8 or at version 99 for vBulletin 3.6.

I guess I have the only upgrade?:D

There is 3.8.3

Right. But that's your vbulletin version, not your welcome headers version.

Right the welcome header is 4.2, is that your latest?

If there is another newer version will it be different?

There are several versions of welcome headers for different vBulletin versions. For 3.8 the script is 1.0 if you use the notices system and 4.2 if you use the old approach with templates.

If I update the script the version number is updated.

this is awesome! I am also using for a "useless fact of the day" .
Thanks a ton!
*clicked nomination*

Does anyone know where to edit to change background color of the notice to pale yelow ? (what code to add too)
Can the box format be edited?
I have read the whole thread and didn't find it and i remember it is somewhere...
Many thanks in advance.

Having a bit of an issue. The mod is fine but what I have is an issue with the url. If I use the standard settings, and go to my www.website. com it is fine. Since I have vb advanced I have the website as www.website.com; when I go to the forums I get errors due to the path as the forum is located at www.website/forum.com If I change it in the forum home section I can view it on the frontpage but if in forums it gives me www.website/forum.forum.com. How can I fix this?


Never mind as this has been resolved; Thanks.

You can edit the paths by modifying the notices through the notices manager.

ok I installed and removed the code specified and I still have the default showing. yours shows too though. I am using the newer version in this thread.

see ATT screenshot

Also I dug around and found another instance of this
in the header of my template. I removed it and nothing happened. Any ideas?

thanks

It looks like you have some other code in your custom template calling in the second notice. Since your template is customized you will have to find and remove this.

H Ted, can you tell me if it appears to be working correctly?

Or other suggestions

Site

If it shows up when you tell it to then it's working correctly. I can't check for you as I don't know which notices you are using under which conditions.

can u tell me what code I am to be looking for , for the vb standard greeting code please?

The default code is listed in the instructions with this modification.

Ok no more circles. Look its not there like that I checked already im not a complete moron. Can u please give me a alt code to look for? I mean where the heck else could it be?

Installed, thank you.

Wierd this doesn't work on 3.8.3. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but still it won't show up. This is on a fresh install too.

Try resaving the notices and checking their order.

It works on my 3.8.3 forum.

One issue I am having is that if I set it to Dismissible, and someone closes it, it won't come back the next time it is updated. nor on their next visit. It is gone for good for them.
Any ideas?

That option is part of vBulletin's core software and something you would need to request / trouble shoot on vbulletin.com.

Is there any way to get php code into the welcome messages?

You can use template conditions with the older version of this addon but not direct php. For that you should use a custom plugin or modify this source code.

I'll trade you a tip for a tip.......

"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 de..."


Should be "What are Welcome Headers?"


Where would one find the welcome message plugin that you mentioned?
This would customize the welcome screen modules after email confirmation
I assume?

BTW this is an exceptional plugin...great job. Mark another one installed.
Great site you've got too...I registered yesterday. :D

Thanks for the typo notification!

For your question can you clarify a bit. This mod does the welcome messages, is there another feature you are looking for?

Hmmm...ok wait a minute...it is possibly me that isnt grasping things fully here...
let's differentiate between "welcome headers" and "welcome messages".
I am not using those 2 interchangeably. I see them as 2 different things.
Are you stating that this plugin covers both?
If so, that was not at all clear to me. :confused:

Welcome Headers is this modification which displays messages.

Not sure where the word welcome messages appear but there's just one headers modification.

Ok. Clarification.
I was understanding this hack already then and installing tonite.
Many thanks.

I checked out your DM site and registered since I dive.
Once I registered I got a welcome screen module that was
not default. I would like to incorporate similar welcome screen.
That is a beautiful site btw.

Guidance much appreciated. :)

This one......

You can do that with this addon. Just customize it with your text and links.

I believe that is on the post-registration page and is a customization of the existing, default registration message.

Fantastic! this is what I was looking for and like you said.. so Thank you!

Although Im aware it isnt really the subject here...Id be most grateful
if you could tell me where to input this custom message....

adminCP > vBulletin Options > [????]

Thanks :)

Sorry it's been a while since I customized the message but it is a phrase. Just copy some of the text out of what you have now and search your phrases for it.

Good enough. I went in and found it. Thanks.

Installed the Welcome Message Headers last night. Terrific.
However, this morning Im noticing an extraordinary number of
visitors getting error messages - [triangle symbol with "!"]

Any special settings involved?

Welcome headers does not change navigation or pages other than to add an additional table through a default vBulletin feature so it should not (and really cannot) have any impact on how people access content.

I can't find the template bit in FORUMHOME.

Do you have a custom template?

Does what it should and helps those that need a little kickstart in working the 'notices' that come default with vBulletin! :up:

Thanks Ted! :D
