THIS HACK IS BEING RE-TOOLED SO PLEASE - I KNOW THE PROBLEM!

This is my first hack so please be kind

First, open up FORUMHOME
Take this code

Code:

   <!-- guest welcome message -->
   <if condition="$show['guest']">
 <table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
   <thead>
   	<tr>
 		<td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>"><phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[welcome_to_the_x]</phrase></td>
   	</tr>
   	<tr>
 		<td class="alt1" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>">
 			<phrase 1="faq.php?$session[sessionurl]" 2="register.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[first_visit_message]</phrase>
   		</td>
   	</tr>
   </thead>
   </table>
 <div style="padding:0px 0px 8px 0px;"></div>
   </if>
   <!-- / guest welcome message -->

Then replace it with this

Code:

<if condition="$show['guest'] OR is_browser(ie)">
 <table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
    <thead>
    	<tr>
 		<td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>"><phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[welcome_to_the_x]</phrase></td>
    	</tr>
    </if>
    
    <!-- guest welcome message -->
    <if condition="$show['guest']">
    	<tr>
 		<td class="alt1" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>">
 			<phrase 1="faq.php?$session[sessionurl]" 2="register.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[first_visit_message]</phrase>
    		</td>
    	</tr>
    <div style="padding:0px 0px 8px 0px;"></div>
    </if>
    <!-- / guest welcome message 
    <!-- Pimp Firefox Message -->
    <if condition="is_browser(ie)">
 		<td class="alt1" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>"><a href="http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliates&amp;id=0&amp;t=54"><img border="0" alt="Get Firefox!" title="Get Firefox!" src="http://sfx-images.mozilla.org/affiliates/Banners/468x60/trust.png"/></a>

This is just plain disgusting seeing members bash his mod, im sure he worked hard on it, and people like you guys degrading it isnt making things any better. Gj Rocket, needs a little work though, if you can get it fixed and working good, i will be sure to use it!

The Coldwood · #23 01-29-2005, 02:47 PM

I should have send an update promoting the "working" version.

nice idea i will be using this on my site. i liek that it only shows to Guests now.

TruthElixirX · #26 03-20-2005, 11:45 PM

Is there any way to make it stay up for like 3 seconds or jsut long enough for them to see it?

Michael2 · #27 03-21-2005, 02:04 PM

If you guys don't want to use it then don't. There's no need to call names.

The Coldwood · #28 03-21-2005, 04:27 PM

I am sorry for screwing this up

Glad Wrap · #29 04-03-2005, 10:26 AM

anything trying to push Firefox has my vote dude, your spirit is in the right place.
however the FF team have always been pretty clear that they don't like any form of browser sniffing, even in the interest of promoting FF. That's my only problem with the modification.

You're an idiot! You'll be turning over 85% of your visitors off of your site by promoting that message...

Excellent point
