Well, I'm not sure where to put this, it's really a template edit, but includes a couple of hacks already posted on the "full releses" section. I put this together as a walkthrough for an admin friend, and thought someone might find it useful.

Like I said, it's a combination of 2 previously relesed hacks (both credited fully). One by Firefly (avatar hack) and one by MrLister (since your last visit). It combines both of these hacks into a welcome panel at the top of the BB, just like the one here and on a few other sites. I'm pretty much a newbie to vB hacking, and struggled to put this together myself (couldn't find any instructions/hacks etc), but I think I've done an OK job. Maybe this will save a few headaches to others like myself

Anyway, here's a few images to illustrate the hack/edit (or whatever it is

)

A guests view of your forum homepage...

...and what they see when they have registered....

You can see a working verion of this hack here:

The Genome Collective

Thanks to Firefly and MrLister for providing the PHP hacks in this err, whatever

(BTW, if this is in the wrong forum, please (mods) feel free to move it)

here it is:

[EDIT] Updated 28-11-01 to correct a display issue, table border on the right now displays properly.

They don't dissapear if you followed the hack properly. The stats are contained within the..


some code.......


part of the forumhome template. Review the hack and make sure you followed it properly. Look at the images in the first post of this thread, your stats should appear there.

If I install this hack, will quests who post see that avatar in their post? Also member who do not have an avatar selected will they see that no avatar avatar? If not how can I edit my forum to do so?

They will see the guestavatar.gif

If a registered user does not have an avatar selected, they will see the noavatar.gif. You can change noavatar.gif and guestavatar.gif to anything you like.
