If you are running vBadvanced, add nzbgreeting and nzbgreeting2 to the Globalized Variables section of the vBA Admin CP area.


***Additional Instructions***

To change the 'Launch date' ticker on Forum Home, look in the FORUMHOME template, near the bottom. There is a start date field.

To change the greetings that appear in the navbar, have a look in your php_include_start template.

To have the Forum images show up for selected forums, go into your forumhome_forumbit_level*_post templates (both level1 and level2) and look for the condtitional that reads:

PHP Code:

<if condition="in_array($forum['forumid'], array(2, 3)"> 


Change these ids to the ones you want to use.

Further on in the same template is this conditional:

PHP Code:

<if condition="!in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], array(1,3,4,8))"> 


The array contains those Usergroup ids that we do NOT want to see the Start New Thread button.

Enjoy!

*edit* fixed a bug in the navbar template that caused 'an error when attempting to log you out'. Thanks to breaume for reporting the bug.

Oh, and it's XHTML Compliant and CSS Compliant

Dude. Read the first post. I quite clearly state, if you are using vbadvanced, add the $nzb_greeting and $nzb_greeting2 variables to the Globalised variables (or whatever it is called) box in the vBACMPS Admin CP.

its the code that say good morning/evening and happy hump day/t.g.i.f and the other days of the week..
that little part there is pimp :P

They are $nzb_greeting and $nzb_greeting2. They are in the navbar template above the bit for displaying PM info. The text itself is generated by the plugin, in global_start.

The navbit message won't show on my portal either... I have placed the two variables in the "Portal Output Global Variables" box in my CMPS Panel. It doesn't show in the navbar after I click "New Posts", either.

Edit: I figured out why the message wasn't showing on my portal. The variables in your first post are missing an underscore. They should be "nzb_greeting" not "nzbgreeting". I do still however have the problem with the message not showing up after clicking New Posts.

if you don't mind me asking how did you get it to have that boxy look around the forums (how their separated, yes I have an obsession with boxes :P)

You should be good to go with any other style... just put

$nzb_greeting ,$bbuserinfo[username]

(god, I wish I knew how to get that to work inside the plugin...) wherever you want it to display.

[trilljester]

Any changes to this style for 3.5.0?

[D2S05]

Edit the forumid of the top of forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost to that of your topmost forum.

Can you explain this?, I'm a newbie and don't know what "forumid" is nor the "forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost" nor the "topmust forum".

Thanks.

Maybe you should add instructions how to configure Javascript counter.
Saying you can do it easily - does not really tell how to do it.
