Center or remove - Forum Title & Welcome Message
 
1 Attachment(s)
This small modification will allow you to either center or removed vBulletin's small default forum title & welcome message.

Credit goes to myself & CoreyLTH

You should always BACKUP your database before making changes. ;)


To Center:


In ForumHome look for

PHP Code:
<div id="pagetitle"> 
<h1>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</h1>
<p id="welcomemessage" class="description">{vb:rawphrase welcome_to_the_x, {vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}}</p>
</div> 
Replace with:

PHP Code:
<center> <div id="pagetitle"> 
        <h1>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</h1> 
        <p id="welcomemessage" class="description">{vb:rawphrase welcome_to_the_x, {vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}}</p> 
    </div> </center> 
To Remove:


In FORUMHOME

Look for:

PHP Code:
<div id="pagetitle"> 
<h1>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</h1>
<p id="welcomemessage" class="description">{vb:rawphrase welcome_to_the_x, {vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}}</p>
</div> 
And wrap it around wih

PHP Code:
<vb:comment>  </vb:comment> 
So when done it will look like

PHP Code:
<vb:comment> <div id="pagetitle"> 
<h1>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</h1>
<p id="welcomemessage" class="description">{vb:rawphrase welcome_to_the_x, {vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}}</p>
</div>  </vb:comment> 

v1.1 = UPDATE 02-23-2011

IMPORTANT: Always backup your database before making any edits.

In navbar look for:

PHP Code:
<ul class="floatcontainer">
        <li class="navbithome"><a href="index.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" accesskey="1"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/navbit-home.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase home}" /></a></li>

        {vb:raw navbits.breadcrumb}
        {vb:raw navbits.lastelement}
    </ul> 
READ CLOSELY:

Wrap everything around it with

PHP Code:
<vb:comment> </vb:comment> 
except for

PHP Code:
{vb:raw navbits.breadcrumb} 
So the surrounding code will look like this when done....

PHP Code:
<vb:comment> <ul class="floatcontainer">
        <li class="navbithome"><a href="index.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" accesskey="1"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/navbit-home.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase home}" /></a></li> </vb:comment>

        {vb:raw navbits.breadcrumb}
        <vb:comment> {vb:raw navbits.lastelement}
    </ul> </vb:comment> 
This will remove the "Home" icon and the word "Forum" on your Forum Homepage, but still keep your quick navigation links within your forums.

Optional - Grammar correction

This really will depend on your own liking and the name of your site. Bit if you want to change the welcome message from,

"Welcome to the X"

And change it to

"Welcome to X"

Go to:

AdminCP > Languages & Phrases > Search in Phrases

Search for

PHP Code:
welcome_to_the_x 
Using the Phrase Text and Phrase Variable Name search, option.

There should only find 1 per language installed

Change it to

PHP Code:
PHP Code:
Welcome to {1} 

If you're tired of vBulletin you should upgrade to Woltlab Burning Board http://www.woltlab.com

Nice! Cant stand that big GAP up there!!

Where is the FORUMHOME file that I need to edit? I cannot find it.:confused:

wolfey 02-23-2011 10:39 AM
You can easily find it by clicking on
AdminCP>Styles&Templates>Search in Templates

Search for: welcomemessage

I was looking how to get rid of this message last week!

Thanks!

Now if I can also get rid of that House and "Forum" I'd be happy too!

This will remove the "Home" icon and the word "Forum" on your Forum Homepage, but still keep your quick navigation links within your forums.

FUN FACT: Removing this seems to speed up the page load. I would suspect its because it queries less in the CSS for browsers to decode.

NICE!!!

Awesome... Worked great

Thank you!

matrixmark 02-23-2011 07:56 PM
