I'm having trouble getting this to work in VB 3.5.0 though. We don't need the pop-up or separate table - we need to keep the current integration. Therefore your step 2 maybe shouldn't apply? In the forumhome template on vb2 I put:
<!-- Begin Conditional Hack-->
[[($bbuserinfo[userid]!=0)]]
Stuff here
[[/($bbuserinfo[userid]!=0)]]
[[($bbuserinfo[userid]==0)]]
Other stuff here
[[/($bbuserinfo[userid]==0)]]
<!-- /End Conditional Hack-->
I put $dfh_announcement in the forumhome template where I want the message to show and then put the code in the box in the vbulletin settings section which is:
Code:

This is one of our testbeds:
http://test.nexusportal.net/index.php?styleid=4
You can see the USER INFORMATION on the top of the left menu but after that it's all a mess. Can you not put HTML in there?
The vb2 version was so simple.  |
I think you confuse this hack with my vb2 template conditionals hack.
This hack is for putting an announcement to forum home (with conditionals if you like) and the other hack was to use conditionals in any vb template you like.
If you need to put a fixed conditional to your forumhome template, you don't need this hack, you can use built-in conditionals of vb3.x: (In other words my vb2 template conditionals hack is now a built-in feature in vb 3.0.x and above)
IE.
<if condition = "$bbuserinfo[userid]>0">
Stuff to display to members
</if>
<if condition = "$bbuserinfo[userid]==0">
Stuff to display to guests
</if>
