For the past week I've been working on my new PC (Vista! Oooo! Ahhh! 2.5 gigs of RAM!).

Anyways, everything is working now so I can continue finishing this mod. Sorry for the wait.

At the beginning it wont add SQL to the database. :) In the future I may add it, but I will still provide a version that does not use SQL.

Fixed the IE bug! :D Not it works fine in both browsers (though IE could still use a little cosmetic work, as the corners are squared off rather than rounded like in FF).

Now I just need to add language stuff and clean up the code, and come up with a MODX. :D

Sorry it took so long. :P

I added a download link. Still using RC4 here so you may have problems installing it on RC5... :roll: If you install on RC5, please let me know how it goes.

I have school tomorrow so I need to go to bed now, but I'll check it with RC5 tomorrow. :)

Dutch translation:

Code: Select all

   //[BEGIN MOD]--{Welcome panel}--[BEGIN MOD]\\   
   'GWP_PANEL_TITLE'      => 'Welkom terug',
   'GWP_WELCOME_BACK'      => 'Welkom terug',
   'GWP_NEW_POSTS_LEFT'   => 'Er zijn',
   'GWP_NEW_POSTS_RIGHT'   => 'nieuwe postings sinds je laatste bezoek.',
   'GWP_YOUR_STATS'      => 'Je gepersonaliseerde statistieken',
   'GWP_PM_COUNT_LEFT'      => 'Je hebt',
   'GWP_PM_COUNT_RIGHT'   => 'ongelezen privéberichten',
   'GWP_POST_COUNT_TEXT'   => 'Je totaal aantal forum postings',
   'GWP_POSTS_PD_TEXT'      => 'Gemiddeld aantal postings per dag',
   'GWP_MEMBERS'         => 'Gebruikers',
   'GWP_THREADS'         => 'Onderwerpen',
   'GWP_POSTS'            => 'Postings',
   'GWP_EDIT_PROFILE'      => 'Wijzig je profiel',
   //[END MOD]--{Welcome panel}--[END MOD]\\
I just installed the mod on my board, everything went smoothly, only I don't see my avatar but instead I have the text "edit your avatar". (In English, but my board is in Dutch). Maybe a little bug?

EDIT: In welcome_panel.html I see this:

Code: Select all

<!--IF AVATAR_FILE--><a href="ucp.php?i=profile&mode=avatar"><img src="download.php?avatar={AVATAR_FILE}" alt="Edit your avatar" /></a><!--ENDIF-->
Isn't it so that this is only for uploaded avatars? I turned this off on my board, only linked avatars are allowed. I think this still needs a little tweaking. ;)

EDIT2: I think I found it:

Code: Select all

<!--IF AVATAR_FILE--><a href="ucp.php?i=profile&mode=avatar"><img src="{AVATAR_FILE}" alt="Edit your avatar" /></a><!--ENDIF-->
works for me :)



Grtz,

Installed on Updated RC5 and it is working as it should ;) Thanks :)

As I am on work we use IE6 dont know if the problem is same on other browsers (I hate IE6) I see that the message : You have 0 unread private messages is alligned at the right. Is it normal ?

Also Average post : Average posts per day: 2.1521739130435 I think 2 digit after decimal will be enough lolzz :lol:

Somme sugestions :

- When user dont have Avatar : Show No_Avatar.gif

- Adding a Different welcome message depending on their time : like after midnight : Welcome back Users, you are up late ;) etc....

Cant we have Welcome panel for Non registered users also ? Telling them to register, with No Avatar image and Somme Resume about the site , what they can find inside.

Thanks :D

Acidtech theme is based on subsilver2 theme, so it would be nice if someone can make a welcome_panel.html that is suitable for these styles. :)

If I knew enough HTML I could make it myself but this is to complicated to me at the moment, I'm still learning :)

Thanks for the translation, saaiberke. :) I know about the avatar thing.... it's the only real bug I know of. :(

@playerfr, yes, it is supposed to be aligned to the right to save space for what I was planning on adding later.

I need to fix average posts per day. :lol: I just wanted to get this released first. It's functional. :mrgreen: No_avatar.gif... OK... the thing based on time is a good idea. I'm thinking something like "Good Morning, {USERNAME}" for 5AM-11:59AM, "Good Afternoon" from 12PM to 4:59PM... etc. I'll try to add that after I do all the easy stuff. :geek:

I'll also work on a subSilver2 template.
