[split from] Welcome Message

Post by Exclusive »

Hello, I'm new here!

I have successfully added a Guest Welcome Message on my forum.

in overall_header.html i added the code below:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF not S_IS_BOT and not S_USER_LOGGED_IN -->
guest welcome message goes here
<!-- ENDIF -->
How do I disable it (the guest welcome message) from showing on the following pages;
1. Login page
2. Register page

BR,
Exclusive

probably the best way would be to install one of the extensions for welcome messages. they normally have settings to let you pick where you want the message to display.

or, you could remove your code from the overall_header.html file and put it at the top of index_body, viewtopic_body and viewforum_body instead.

Code: Select all

<!-- IF SCRIPT_NAME ne 'ucp' -->
<!-- IF not S_IS_BOT and not S_USER_LOGGED_IN -->
guest welcome message goes here
<!-- ENDIF -->
<!-- ENDIF -->

I know this isn't what you posted about but you should rethink the forums a bit.
Way too many with no posts in them. Get rid of the banned forum. It's irrelevant. It looks dictatorial if you have a forum telling people why someone has been banned. It's none of their business. You have a forum for android based phones.... and then below that you have forums for makes of phone that run android. So they're both the same thing.
Less is more.

Obviously, but I couldn't find an extension that could help me achieve this at my end, if you know any, please don't hesitate to share.

Yes, I taught as much... but the code below?

What do I do with this piece of code? Should I modify mine to this? Using this code in overall_header.html or in the above mention files?

Yeah, kind of. That is just a new forum not up to 3weeks. And this is how we do it over there!

yes. the "ne" stands for "not equal to" ucp.php is the file that controls the login and registration.

that code says. if the viewer is on any page associated with ucp.php it will not show the code within your variable for guests.
