Advanced Info Center Details »» | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Description:
This is a newsheader, welcome header, global announcement, newsticker in one. It contains 2 independent and dynamic area's which contents can differ per usergroup. For example, you can send multiple messages to everyone, and to members only, at the same time. Message types: Guests welcome header Accounts awaiting email confirmation receive a message to check their email. NonMembers receive a message where to apply for membership Members receive messages for members only (?) Everyone receive global public messages Idlers receive a pm to start posting again NonPosters also receive a pm to start posting Unread Pm's: users receive a message when they have unread pm's, if they turned the popup off. All messages, usergroups, on/off switches, and some style variables are manageable via the admin-cp. The 2 biggest text area's you'll be using often are separated from the other options to make things easy on the eyes This mod is style-friendly as it automatically changes with your style and is fully phrased. The looks and feel of the container is adjustable in a template. The messages you want to show support any html and css. The Info Center also runs on custom forum pages, like portals, that aren't in the same forum folder. Installation Time: Uploading various files, like style sheets, installing the product, add 1 word in a template will take about 3minutes. Configuring the settings on on/off switches, usergroups and the text you would like to show can take from 5mins up to what ever you want to make of it. Installation Steps: 1. Upload the files that are located in the upload-folder, within the zip-file, to their respective places: - /forum - - /includes - - - contentslider.css - - - contentslider.js - - - /xml - - - - cpnav_LaCN.xml 2. Install the product using the LaCN_InfoCenter.xml file. 3. Go to your Templates. Find in templates: Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates --> navbar Find this line: Code:
<!-- / nav buttons bar --> Code:
$LaCN_InfoCenter You can choose where ever you'd like to place it, since it will pretty much load in any template. Some alternate locations are: footer and FORUMHOME. 4. Refresh the menu frame in the admin-cp. U'll see a new menu: LaCN, containing the 2 Info Center links. 5. Go to the Info Center Options. The first switch is to turn the whole Info Center on. It's turned off by default. Per set of usergroups you can show a message. But there's only 2 message area's: Code:
______________________________ | | | top area | | _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ | | | | bottom area | |______________________________| (you can use a 0 in the usergroups field to make it show to everyone) The top area is shared amongst different sets of usergroups: - guests (if turned on) - nonactivated accounts (if turned on) - registered accounts, but not seen as members (if turned on) - members (if turned on) A guest will never see the other messages, same for the rest. The bottom area could be used for any group, as second set of messages. For example to everyone, if u set the usergroups to 0 in there. You could turn all switches in the top area off, and it will only show the bottom area. You could also turn that bottom area off, and it will show nothing at all 6. Within a message box, for example for Guests, you can have multiple messages, that will slide behind eachother. This will save space. A message in every box must be within <div class="contentdiv"> and </div> tags. For example: Code:
<div class="contentdiv"> <br />Welcome Guest </div> <div class="contentdiv"> <br />Welcome to our board </div> So even with 1 line you need to add those tags. Remove vBulletins Guest Welcome header: vBulletin comes with a nice guest message already: Quote:

I noticed that the ones who posted here, and had a forum in their sig, use a shoutbox.
As I hate scrolling down on forums I looked into integrating vbShout into the Info Center. And it went easy Since the Info Center would become too high with 2 blocks (message + vbShout), I switch off one of the textblocks in the Info Center options. Here's how to place vbShout into the Info Center: 1. Install the vbShout mod, according to its installation steps. But do NOT add "<!--{%SHOUTBOX%}-->" into any template. 2. In the vbShout options, turn it on, and change the height to a little less high. I have it at 50. Also set the Editor Position to below the messages. 3. Edit this template: inferno_shoutbox_box Remove the following part: Code:
<tr> <td class="tcat" align="center"> <a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_infernoshout')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_infernoshout" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_infernoshout].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a> Shoutbox </td> </tr> 4. Go to the Info Center options. You have two options: use the top area, or use the bottom area. If you use the top area, and have the welcome guests switch on, guests won't see the ShoutBox. If you use the bottom area, u can show it to everyone, but guests won't see their welcome header. I'd choose to add it to the top area, but in the demo forum, I placed it into the bottom one, otherwhise you woulnd't see it To add it in the top area: Switch the bottom area off. Add this code into the top message box: Code:
<div class="contentdiv"> <!--{%SHOUTBOX%}--> </div> Don't forget, that if your visitors click on the little numbers or "next" link below the Info Center, that the automatic slide changing will stop So, if u want to only see the shoutbox, click on it's number, or next till u're there, and you can sit back and watch |

But I prolly didn't know what I was talking about So I'll check that mod out now, if I can find it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ edit: Ah, if this is the one, then it has these functions:
I never thought about getting non active people back on the board. I'll write an addon to add this, tonight Maybe even a message when the user has a pm, as I noticed a nice notice in this forum when I received one |
