You could make the welcome hack appear on every page, but you need to make some changes to index.php and global.php, as well as replace your navbar template.

The navbar changes I've got sorted, but I need to finalise the changes in global.php and index.php. If it doesn't take too long, I will try and work it all out for you. It will add around 5 queries per page though, just so you know.

Ok, I have mocked up this for you. It's not the most efficient thing in the world, and could add anything up to ten or twelve queries per page (as it's all called in global.php).

I have not re-written the biggest of the code/queries used here for getting the online users as it's too much work for me to do right now. This does, however, work. But please bear in mind that if you use the welcome hack on every page, you lose the original functionality of the navbar all together. You could of course modify the template to show the navbar underneath the welcome hack, perhaps, but I have not done that here.

The attached instructions are not comprehensive in their installation from scratch. You will still need the original instructions for phrase edits. Use the file edits and template additions from these ones though.

Yea, no problem.

Gotcha :) I'll work on this today :) Thanks!!

just one more question - where to change this:

i mean i need phrases to translate to my origin language! Thanx

It appears the phrases regarding PMs don't show if you have PMs disabled. I can't say for sure because I modded this hack for my board. You may wish to test it in any case.

If you look at www.myfootballforum.com you will see that after a topic title is so long it puts ... at the end to shorten it. How can I adjust this so more of the title will be shown?

How do I edit the phrases? I am using RC4? I think it was made it so you purposefully cant edit the standard phrases. Did I miss a hack for that or should this be done via a query in the DB?

Edit the phrases in the Phrase MAnager, the same as you would for any other phrase.

As for the no-pm thing, I'll look into that later. :)

I've had a closer look. It's probably my own code that was doing it as I've fixed that on my board. :)
