Get rid of "register" option if you have registered

I'm logged in to your board... so why is there still a link at the top of your board asking me to "register"?

I'm not logged in... so why is there a link to my "control panel"?

This bit of code will remove the pointless links from your forum, leaving it looking neater and using (a bit) less bandwidth.

Details: Two template edits, that's all.
Demo: http://forums.mediauk.com
Use Username: vbulletinorg Password: vbulletinorg so you can see both states. We use text rather than the standard graphics, but you'll find the graphic code enclosed in the hack documentation.

i made a small mod that you can replace the entire logout crap with "$vlogout"


just out this in the phpinclude (remove the old code first)

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo['userid']<"1") {
    //they're a guest
    $register_or_controlpanel = "<a href=\"register.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=signup\"><img src=\"{imagesfolder}/top_register.gif\" alt=\"Registration is free!\" border=\"0\"></a>";
} else {
    //they're registered
    $register_or_controlpanel = "<a href=\"usercp.php?s=$session[sessionhash]\"><img src=\"{imagesfolder}/top_profile.gif\" alt=\"Here you can view your subscribed threads, work with private messages and edit your profile and preferences\" border=\"0\"></a>";
    $vlogout = "<a href=\"member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&&action=logout\"><img src=\"{imagesfolder}/top_logout.gif\" alt=\"Log Out\" border=\"0\"></a>";
} 


and then do this:

open header.php

find

   <a href="member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=logout"><img src="{imagesfolder}/top_logout.gif" alt="Logout" border="0"></a>

replace with

$vlogout

this will make it so you dont have to have the logout button next to the usercp (i like mine at the end)

this is the first time i ever modded something that has to do with php so go easy on me! in a n00b!

To make this compatible with VBPortal 3, add the code in the instructions into vbp_includes.php, right under:

[QUOTE]
include("../config.php");
global $nukepath,$bbuserinfo,$nukeurl,$foot1,$foot2,$foot 3,$foot4;
global $Allow_Forum_Leftcolumn, $Forum_Default_Leftcolumn,$newsforum,$pollsforum;
chdir($nukepath . "/");

I am using this hack and love it.

However, I want to add a new style to the board and change the 'register' and 'profile' buttons in a new style (other than default).

I can't get the replacements to work, I keep getting the default buttons in the new style. If I edit the top 'php parsed code' in the new style settings, it changes my default.

Is there a way I can change this and still use the hack?

[Arathorn]

The Image folder path is a variable that can be changed with each style. Create a new folder for each new set of buttons, and alter the variable ( Admin CP > Styles > at the bottom ). Make sure you keep all the image filenames exactly the same as the original files.

This should work, but someone else could probably give you a better solution.

For me it works fine in the vB THANK you!

But in the Portal (I use vBPortal 3.0 beta 8) the buttons are just gone!

I added the code in the vbp_includes.php but nothing happended!

Any suggestions?

The hack works for vBPortal 3 on the Forum home page, but not for the vBPortal Main Home page (following the vBPortal instructions above). Which is a big hassle. I'll see if there's a way around it.

can this be modified to put the buttons in this order for a logged out user

calender - members - faq - search - home - register

and for a logged in user

user cp - calender - members - faq - search - home - logout

and for admin or mod

admin/mod cp - user cp - calender - members - faq - search - home - logout

if someone can send me the instructions to do this that i list above, please let me know.

regards

if ($thread[open]) {
$replyclose="images/comments.gif";
} else {
$replyclose="{closedthreadimage }";

but it does not work. I wanted to replace the Post Reply image in one template with another one without loosing the "closed" option

[Airwaves]
