Does this work with 3.6.3?

Yes....

I had this mod installed with vB 3.5 and all worked well. Great mod!

I've upgraded to vB 3.6.3 and installed the new one, which seems to also be working well besides one small problem (which I'm pretty convinced is me).

I want to change the welcome header from "Welcome 'username'" to "Welcome 'custom field 5'". Custome field 5 is the users first name in this case.

I have tried the following which I am sure worked before, but now don't seem to work.

$bbuserinfo['field5']
$bbuserinfo[field5]
{$bbuserinfo['field5']}
{$bbuserinfo[field5]}

But all of them just bring up the actual text in the welcome header rather than the contents of the custom field.

Any help would be greatly apreciated.

Thanks,

john

Hi,

How can I have an image background like the version at vbseo.com?

You will need to add the variables to your welcome headers templates using the variables system. For example, <phrase 1="faq.php?$session[sessionurl]" 2="register.php?$session[sessionurl]" 3="$vboptions[bbtitle]" 4="sendmessage.php$session[sessionurl]"> has 4 variables with different values. If you added 5="$bbuserinfo['field5']" you could then call it from the phrase as {5}. Alternatively you can stop using phrases and write your messages directly into the templates using any variable you please.

vbSEO uses the main welcome headers as images, rather than text. They also have a slightly different version for their member groups. This can be accomplished by slightly modifying the template welcome_headers to add whatever html and css you need to create your layout.

See http://www.vbseo.com/f28/how-make-yo...rs-image-7549/ for more information

Thanks Ted.

Was there a change from vb 3.5 that stoped it being possible to just use $bbuserinfo['fieldx'] ?

Cheers,

John

No. If you're editing a template you can use variables directly, phrases tend to need you to call out the variables afaik.

I still am stuck with this....any help?:confused:

Is there a link to this for vB 3.61? Or will this version work as well?

Should I do this within the replacement variable manager or is there somewhere else I should?

Also what are the already defined variables, i.e. {1} {2} etc.?

Thanks,

John

Doesn't anyone know if this works with vb 3.61?

It does..

As stated in the install file and description, this is 3.6 compliant.

You will need to add the variables to the template welcome_headers and call them via the phrases. The defined variables can be found in the template.

I've got no idea what you are referring to. Please explain.

Sorry, ignore me, I have just found out what I was doing wrong...I'm an idiot!

Fricking GREAT hack though :D

It works fine with vB 3.6.x.. Why don't you give it a try? This is just a product.. All you have to import a product & edit templates.. After that you can also confirm someone else that this hack works fine :p..

Ok, I'll try it out this weekend and post back links to my results.

Thanks Ted.

I have it sorted now :o)

Are there screen shots of this available?

Thanks.

Ted S. has been helpful to me on other website forums...nice fellow.

There are screenshots posted in the main thread.

I am 100% positive they weren't there earlier today.

Theyve been there since the thread started.

I've seen the screenshots for this mod on previous days that I looked at it, but they weren't there when I looked at the thread today.

Well I suggest you double check your monitor as those screen shots are very, very old.

Is Ted S.'s right-side screenshot the Guest Message?

I have something similiar to that already but I don't have the rest of the features in his mod.

I'd kinda like to continue using my 'welcome and registration message' but use the rest of the great features in Ted S's mod. Is that possible?

Regarding the install.html and upgrade.html instructions, if this is my first install of this mod do I first follow the install.html instructions then the upgrade.html instructions?

For some reason, everytime I open this thread in IE, I get 6 or 7 error messages. Firefox doesn't show any errors.

If you are installing, follow the install.html file. If you are upgrading, follow upgrade.html.

Upgraded to 4.1.3

Thank you Ted S.

/me is trying the update now

um, how do I know which one to download? Both attachments seem to be for vb 3.6....

This is the one i used: welcomeheaders 4 1 2 vb3 6.zip

Right, but in his new mod he says to use the latest one...which has a different release name. But neither zip name matches. Sort of obscure. "Updates
4.1.3 - Added support for Limited Guest Viewing system" 4 1 2 sounds like the previous version. But the other one has no version numbering at all. :)

Who should use the "welcome headers 3.6zip"?

Installed.
Thank you

Sorry, have fixed the plugin to only show the latest file.

Thanks. Can't wait to try it out.

nice upgrade I will be installing it thank you.
