Yup. You can customize the welcome+headers template for each style.

1. How or When should I see the Welcome Header? When you first go to our forum (free4gov.org), you see the standard welcome page. When you try to enter a forum that requires registration, you see the standard registration page (You are not logged in or you do not have permission to access this page...). Should I be seeing the welcome page here?

2. How / where do I define the arguments that are used by the varname? For example, I am getting the error:
Welcome to the [ARG:3 UNDEFINED] forums. when I view the default text. Also the "contact us" link uses variable {4} that is not correctly defined. Not sure where these get defined.

Thanks! SP

It looks like you didn't quite make it through the installation. You need to remove the default header (issue #2) and add the new ones (issue #1). Check the install.html file again and follow the second and third steps. If you run into issues, let me know.

When I went to vbulletin options and scrolled down to the end like you said, thier is no "Welcome Header System" thier either. Please help me.

REPLY

Have you added the variable $welcomeheaders to your header template?

If you have no messages showing and the options do not show in your control panel then you have not installed the plugin or activated the plugin system in your vbulletin installation. Also, I would ask that you direct all future questions to the appropriate public thread so others can see the answer. Thank you

When you click on installed products from the plugin area, you can see that welcome header is among the installed product in addition with vbulletin but it does not show as a plugin.

When you view your vbulletin options page, do you see the welcome heaers system option at or near the end of the list?

Nope it is no where to be found in that list.
That was the only step (which is at the end of step 4 ) which did not pan out for me.

That would indicate that the Welcome Headers product is not installed or you have not enabled the plugin system.

Ok, I really do not know what else to do or say. I enabled the plugin system because prior to step 3 which is "Add the attached plugin"

The product to the best of my knowledge is in the installed but is not running. My original header is gone and their is nothin in its place.
I followed all the steps one after the other being a newbie, I did not want to miss anything and I believe I did not.

I did a partial reinstall, I checked it again from begin and the ony thing I had to redo was re-upload the plugin after I uninstalled it. Now it works fine. Thanks Ted for all your help and a nice hack

Installed with no problems, almost! thanks for sharing :)

I am using the steel blue style, and the old header is still showing, part of the code is below, but I do not know what to remove, or even if this if this is the correct part of the code to remove. Hope someone can help.
