Welcome block Add-on for vbAdvanced · **Released**: 01-16-2004

Updated Instruction file: The block now looks like the rest of the homepage and not just a box.

Hello;

As requested by neogen at vBulletin.nl in this thread

Here is my Welcome block for vbAdvanced

I thought up the idea but I got major help from TYorke on this in the vbAdvanced thread.

What it does it place a block on your homepage, where you can post a welcome to all of your users, and links to important information if you'd like.

I have set up some links, one to my Legal Information pages, and one to my new games section

You can see a demo at my site http://www.tomshawk.com

Strange, It appears the welcome block is not the only thing not working at the moment.

The center news and the recent threads blocks are not working either, of course you may have the recent threads block disabled, and you may have no posts in the forum you chose for your news. I'd start with getting the rest working first, then we can get the block working.

But, my first guess would be the

PHP Code:


			
 $welcome

has not been added to the index template yet.

Sorry and hope that helps

Love this little add-on. Took a few tries, but I finally got it looking like the way I want.

This is a lot easier and should make everything look perfect (for the index_welcome template)

Code:

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" 

class="tborder" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><b><DIV ALIGN=CENTER>YOUR TITLE GOES HERE</b></div></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="$getbgrow"><span class="smallfont">

YOUR CONTENT GOES HERE

</span>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />

That should help...
i just got that from the custom templates in adv_index... i just modified the code a little.

Tomshawk - nice hack. Just looking at your homepage. Is that just a standard bit of DHTML coding used for your news scroller? Where do you get it?

Joe Price · #20 05-15-2004, 01:59 AM

I Added the hack and get nothing on my main page, what info do you need me to post to help? the site is gloryandthegold.com

WOW, sorry for being so late on this, J33Z

Been rather crazy at my own site.

Intex:

Yes, That is "err" was a DHTML script displaying scrolling news. I removed it, because it slowed down the site to much and alot of users with different browsers. (i.e. Opera, Mozilla, Firefox) said it messed up the layout pretty badly

You can get it here though, if you still want it https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=60135

Joe Price:
I hit your site and at the moment it appears you dont have it installed.
Again, I know it's been a while.
Let me know if you are still interested.
