Well, I wanted to put the welcome/last visit/new posts into a sensible paragraph, the way it is here, so that it looks like this:
Mae Govannen!, Illuvatar
The time now is 02:59 PM.
You last visited: 06-08-2002 02:53 PM.
There have been 1 new posts and 1 updated threads since then.
View New Posts
In order to do this I modified my welcometext template to include the time is and last visited stuff lines that are normally in the forumhome template.
My welcometext now looks like this:
PHP Code:
<smallfont>Mae Govannen!, <b>$username</b><br></smallfont>
The time now is $timenow.<br>
You last visited: $bbuserinfo[lastvisitdate].
<br>There have been <b>$getnewpost[posts]</b> new posts and <b>$getnewthread[threads]</b> updated threads since
then.
and the call in forum home looks like this:
PHP Code:
<td align="right"><smallfont>$welcometext<br><b>$newposts</b></smallfont></td>
</tr>
My index.php file still has the code to change the $welcometext to read" Today, at blah blah", but it's not working anymore.
I hope I included enough information..hehehe...can someone help me with this?
I've been very pleased with this hack, and know it's probably something simple, but these old eyes just aren't seeing it!
Thanks,
Illu
