Welcome headers - Improve community registration rates
Developer Last Online: Nov 2020
Exciting Announcement! vBulletin 3.7.0 now includes a built in Welcome Headers System (named "Notices") that easily allows you to add and control your own welcome messages with functionality above what can be found in the traditional welcome headers system. There are some important differences in these systems so please read this thread before upgrading.
----------------------- Important: If you are upgrading from the 3.6 or earlier versions and have modified the navbar template you will either need to revert it or add new vBulletin code as shown in https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=152. Out of the box, your forum isn't personalized to assist or address your visitors. As a result, guests entering on a page other than the homepage (which is most often the case) have no idea what to do or why to register. Additionally, there are no visible status indicators, making it confusing for unconfirmed, unapproved or new members to know what to do or where to begin. But with a little customization, the use of the vBulletin Notices System and Welcome Headers, you can solve these issues in just a few minutes. What is Welcome Headers? Welcome Headers is a set of predefined messages and rules designed to help you get started in personalizing your site's notices using the vBulletin notice feature. The default templates are just that, default ? I highly encourage you to modify and add to the language and rules to meet the needs of your actual community environment. Modifications/ Instructions: Plugins: 1 (notices entries, rules and phrases) This template hack should take under 5 minutes to implement and customize. Installation/ Upgrade Instructions 1 ? Backup any existing welcome header messages (upgrading) 2 ? Remove the default welcome header from your forum home template (new installs) 3 ? Install the attached plugin file 4 ? Now Required: Customize the messages to include your site's name For detailed instructions on each step please view the install.html file included with this addon. Support Please post any enhancement or technical questions you may have and I will do my best to respond in a timely manner. Please note: I can not guarantee an immediate response and am unable to assist with integrating this addon with other addons or with HTML related questions. Frequently Asked Questions Please see the second post in the thread for a list of frequently asked questions which is updated periodically. Older Version Support While most users are choosing to upgrade to the notices system, there are some advantages to the "old" system mainly in that it does not rely on a rules system and can be configured as designed with code changes. Additionally, the "old" version has automatic interfacing with several other addons which the notices system does not. For this reason, the old version is still supported and remains fully compatible with 3.7. Updates - 5/9/2008 :: A small upgrade has been released fixing the typo in the sendmessage.php file Show Your Support

It sounds like one of your notices templates has been customized, please revert these and check the settings for each of the items in the notices manager.

Thanks for help.
After installation, it displayed customized welcome message with header "messages" (I have customized Notices template to Messages). Now, I uninstalled the mod. Please tell me how to get the welcome header as in your screenshot. Thanks. |

Ted S., I just upgraded from vb 3.6.8 to 3.8.6.
I still have Welcome Headers version 4.1.3 installed. I'm not sure how to check if all the messages are displaying properly. Are there any changes or updates that you would recommend that I make to Welcome Headers? Unless you recommend, I don't intend to change to using the notices system. Thank you. |
