Hello,
This is another simple to use & install mod.
It hides the "What's Going on Box" at the bottom of your forums to guests and leaves them a message instead. Only logged in users/members can view the "What's Going on Box".

Screenshot when not logged in:

Installation:
Login to your AdminCP.
Click on Styles & Templates on the left side.
Select the template you want to edit and expand it
Click on the Forum Home Templates to expand that
Now click on the template called "FORUMHOME"

Now comes the template edit. Only 2 things to do so don't worry, its EASY!

Ditto

Now to save many of you embarrassment lol, I know we are not all perfect and my grammar/spelling has gone down the you know what recently lol HOWEVER....

Make sure you change in the code:

reigstered TO registered

BEFORE implementing/installing

S-MAN

(And yes I could have PM'd but then users who have installed already may not realize

)

Charlie98902 · #19 12-08-2008, 11:52 PM

Why not use this and the code is a bit smaller to add?

Open your FORUMHOME template:

Find:

Code:

<!-- what's going on box -->

Add below:

Code:

<if condition="$show['member']">

Find:

Code:

<!-- end what's going on box -->

Add above:

Code:

</if>
