Adding a Message to Guests

[Twisted Fairytale]

Do you want to display a message to your guests on your forum to invite them to Register? Well, this will help!

To add a scrolling message to your guests ONLY on your forum, use this code.

<!-- IF not S_USER_LOGGED_IN and S_REGISTER_ENABLED --><div class="inner"><span class="corners-top"><span></span></span>
<MARQUEE><FONT 
color="#4080FF">TYPE YOUR MESSAGE HERE!</MARQUEE></FONT>
<div class="inner"><span class="corners-bottom"><span></span></span><!-- ENDIF -->

To add it in, go to your ACP, then click Styles. Go to Templates and select the skin you are using. Clik edit and find overall_header.html from the drop down box. Click 'Select Template File'. Now scroll to the bottom of the template editor until you see the very bottom. Add in the code above right above this:

		 <!-- IF S_BOARD_DISABLED and S_USER_LOGGED_IN and (U_MCP or U_ACP) --> 
		<div id="message" class="rules">
			<div class="inner"><span class="corners-top"><span></span></span>
				<strong>{L_INFORMATION}:</strong> {L_BOARD_DISABLED}
			<span class="corners-bottom"><span></span></span></div>
		</div>
		<!-- ENDIF -->

Be sure to edit in your message before saving it.

Does this work with all forum softwares?

No. It will only work with phpBB.

Or any software that uses the same template engine as phpBB3, which I don't think any do 😉

I've got one but it doesn't scroll 😛

you should post it anyway cos not everyone likes a scrolling message 😉

 

[Twisted Fairytale]

If you don't want a scrolling message, then the code would be...

<!-- IF not S_USER_LOGGED_IN and S_REGISTER_ENABLED --><div class="inner"><span class="corners-top"><span></span></span>
<FONT 
color="#4080FF">TYPE YOUR MESSAGE HERE!</FONT>
<div class="inner"><span class="corners-bottom"><span></span></span><!-- ENDIF -->

Meh. If it was for SMF or MyBB then it would have been really helpful to me. Thanks for the share anyways. LOL.

 

[ChatBox]

Pretty much same thing can be added to all forum softwares.
