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:
http://www.vbdesignerz.com/images/registerimg.bmp

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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!

You're doing it wrong, one template edit is all thats needed

Code:
<if condition="$show['member']">
<!-- what's going on box -->
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

You really love trying to be the best on this forum don't you
I don't recall asking for your help, so please, don't come in uninvited trying to deliberately embarrass me when I'm just trying to help some of the guys out.

Have a nice a day

Then perhaps phrasing it different would be a better way to go. Instead of saying "You're doing it wrong" with a cheesy smile emoticon (sounding very much like - neener, neener I am better than you), perhaps a more humble approached would be better received. There is no need to try to embarrass those with this community.

Sharing > embarrassing

you can share without making someone feel bad while doing it - look through the threads on this forum you will see MANY humble examples.

Hi there everyone,

Just noticed this thread and wanted to add 1.2 cents of my advice:

1. Look at the profile of the user who is posting/replying. The number of posts he or she has - especially if high - should tell that this person has quite a bit of experience under his belt.. [again, at a quick glance before going into details]

2. Phrasing/etc - ok - it can be a delicate issue BUT - point taken - look at the positives - always.. not everyone here speaks English as their native language nor they might have the time or mood to prepare the answer nicely.. especially in a topic like this which has been covered so many times before [see 3.]

3. As an add-on coder/designer - I believe ANY suggestion is welcome and can be a [new?] source of learning / approaching on things.

Nothing wrong with someone better to show a simpler way - that's how we achieve better / more optimized code in the end : )

I wouldn't feel embarrassed at all - I'd probably offer FRDS a beer or two - but that's me ; )

Cheers,
aproape

This is not an accurate way to judge experience - number of posts mean absolutely nothing. I recently can to VB after years of experience in coding with both the SMF and Joomla products. There is no way to judge that by simply looking at a post count.

Perhaps the OP's native language isn't English - just means we can all be more careful in our phrasing. "You're doing it wrong" is most like offensive in any language. There are just better ways to say things; that was my original point.

Questions, suggestions; of course but why not have a little tact? Perhaps the OP was posting their first Mod ..... wouldn't a more experienced coder/designer attempt to be encouraging instead of "slamming" by saying "you're doing it wrong?'

I totally agree - it's just the delivery I had issue with - that's all.

I say Bravo but when it became obvious that the OP WAS embarrassed perhaps a simple "sorry, I didn't mean it in that way" could have neutralized the situation instead of "Whats wrong if someone manage something easier then u did? "
Again, it's just a matter of delivery and courtesy - treating others as we would like to be treated.

just my .02 cents

Hi there father guido/killaduce,

To me the number of posts and the profile are both indicators - they are better than _nothing_ and.. that's why I said - quick glance, _before_ going into details.

If two people reply and one has well over 1,500 posts and the other just a couple - I will probably want to know more details or read more threads on the guy who posted more - at least to have an idea of what else/how he handled other situations.

Certainly I wouldn't jump.. : ) I like walking.. and if I was to jump - I would keep the courtesy level high.

Totally agree.

And then... again : ) I give the benefit of the doubt to the other person that he is not a mean character - maybe he just wanted to make a joke out of it or sound funny.. No idea. You also can't tell the age of either and that is another factor.

Indeed - BUT - : ) I am not sure you noticed.. FRDS replied only once. The 'Whats wrong..' answer came from another forum member.. : )

Who knows - maybe he likes to be told he's wrong directly - I have no issue with that. Sometimes I find too much comforting is not always the best approach. Yes, it makes things more positive but the results can take longer to be achieved.. and in the end it's a nice poof..

I've read and came across quite a few situations where different cultures or background collide and - all I can say is - tact is gold.

[/QUOTE]

Now, back on topic : )

killaduce - will you at least evaluate/consider doing the change or taking the approach FRDS suggested? I don't know - maybe as an alternate solution? I think it's a better way and would save other people's time to have one template edit instead of two.

[ok - I ran out of cents again here.. piggy bank.. here I come!]


Cheers,
aproape
