Hello WebFlake, This is for those who do not have the mod where they can do this: Back with yet another tutorial. This time, I will be showing you how you can customize your guest welcome message. I will be showing how to change this to this Interested? Read on! This tutorial will require access to the Look & Feel section of your Admin Control Panel (ACP) and minimal to no coding knowledge. Within your ACP, we're going to navigate over to Look & Feel > Manage Skin Sets & Templates > Manage Templates in {yourSkinName} > Templates > Global Templates > globalTemplate Look around the area of <!-- ::: MAIN CONTENT AREA ::: --> for this chunk of code: <if test="($this->settings['guestMessage']=='yes') AND !($this->memberData['member_id'])"> <div class='guestMessage'> <div class='guestHeader'>Welcome to {$this->settings['board_name']}</div> Register now to gain access to all of our features. Once registered and logged in, you will be able to create topics, post replies to existing threads, give reputation to your fellow members, get your own private messenger, post status updates, manage your profile and so much more. This message will be removed once you have signed in.<br /> <a href='{parse url="app=core&amp;module=global&amp;section=login" base="public"}' class='guestButton'>Login to Account</a> <a href='{parse url="app=core&amp;module=global&amp;section=register" base="public"}' class='guestButton'>Create an Account</a> </div> </if> After locating the code, we are ready to begin modifying it. Our title is located on the third line between <div class='guestHeader'> and </div>. When editing this, let's remember {$this->settings['board_name']} is the name of our board to keep it intact if we wish to have our board name displayed in the guest welcome message. To edit the body of the message, we're simply going to edit everything between the </div> in our title and the <br /> tag. In other words, all of this you are able to freely edit: Register now to gain access to all of our features. Once registered and logged in, you will be able to create topics, post replies to existing threads, give reputation to your fellow members, get your own private messenger, post status updates, manage your profile and so much more. This message will be removed once you have signed in. To edit the words "Login to Account" we simply edit where it says "Login to Account". Same method goes for "Create an Account", simply edit where it says "Create an Account". Things to note: *This message is only displayed to members who are not logged in. *This is my 100th post :3

EDIT: I have created a custom BBCode for this script so there is no need for installing the script inside of your skin template. Original Post: Hello, Earlier, I showed you how you can make usernames on your forum flash in a "Rainbow" fashion. This tutorial will be very similar, but requires a few extra steps. This does not require "advanced" knowledge, just access to the Look & Feel and Member Groups section of your community's ACP. Let's begin. Firstly, you are going to navigate to ACP > Look & Feel > Your Skin > globalTemplate This piece of code is to be inserted towards the bottom of the script. For example, you could place it just above where you see something relevant to <!-- ::: Footer ::: --> <script> var speed=80 var hex=new Array("00","14","28","3C","50","64","78","8C","A0","B4","C8","DC","F0") var r=1 var g=1 var b=1 var seq=1 function changetext(){ for(i=0;i<document.getElementsByName("Rainbow").length;i++){ var storetext=document.getElementById? document.getElementsByName("Rainbow")[i] : document.all.highlight rainbow="#"+hex[r]+hex[g]+hex[b] storetext.style.color=rainbow } } function change(){ if (seq==6){ b-- if (b==0) seq=1 } if (seq==5){ r++ if (r==12) seq=6 } if (seq==4){ g-- if (g==0) seq=5 } if (seq==3){ b++ if (b==12) seq=4 } if (seq==2){ r-- if (r==0) seq=3 } if (seq==1){ g++ if (g==12) seq=2 } changetext() } function starteffect(){ if (document.all||document.getElementById) flash=setInterval("change()",speed) } starteffect() </script> Now to authorize user groups who can use the Rainbow text. We're now going to navigate withing the ACP to Members > Member Groups > Manage Member Groups This next step you will have to do for each group you want to be able to use this Rainbow text feature. Open the group, click on "Global", look for "Can Post HTML?" and tick the box over to "Yes". Save the group, and repeat as necessary. Since we have enabled it for the user groups, we must permit it on the forums. Let's work our way over to Forums > Manage Forums Again, you must repeat these steps for each forum area you wish to allow the Rainbow feature. Open the forum set you wish to apply the permissions to, and click on the Postable Settings tab. The first option should be "Enable HTML Posting (where allowed)", place the setting over to "Yes". Save the forum set, and repeat as necessary. Finally, we can post with our Rainbow text as an approved user in the appropriate forums. To do so, we're going to start a topic as normal. Once you are at the topic posting screen, look on the right hand side where you should see "Post Options" Tick the box on where you see "Enable HTML?" Place this before the text you wish to add Rainbow to: <span name="Rainbow"> And then place your text. At the end of your text, add this: </span> Things to note: *The rainbow will only show on skins that you add the script to. *It does not matter exactly where you place the script, as long as it is there and does not interrupt other code. *Only usergroups that you allow may use this on allowed forums. *This will only work in the forums you allow, regardless of user permission sets. *This will work wherever HTML is enabled, including signatures and about me.

I've found excellent use with http://bluehost.com/. They have a decent support team, and it doesn't have too much of a limit.

Hi there, welcome to Web Flake! I joined aspiring to build up my community as well. You'll soon find interest in this community though; glad to have you!

Or you can add it to the Ip.downloads page this way Look & Feel > Manage Skin Sets & Templates > Manage Templates (Downloads) Download Manager > downloadsPortal find <if test="indexsubcategories:|:is_array($data['subcategories']) AND count($data['subcategories'])"> <a href='#' class='cat_toggle'>{$this->lang->words['toggle']}</a> </if> </li> </foreach> </ul> </div> </div> <div class='ipsLayout_right'> change to <if test="indexsubcategories:|:is_array($data['subcategories']) AND count($data['subcategories'])"> <a href='#' class='cat_toggle'>{$this->lang->words['toggle']}</a> </if> </li> </foreach> </ul> </div> <php> require_once( IPSLib::getAppDir( 'donate' ) . "/sources/hooks.php" ); $this->registry->setClass('donate_hooks', new donateHookGateway( $this->registry ) ); $out = $this->registry->getClass('donate_hooks')->featuredGoalsSidebar(); </php>{$out} </div> <div class='ipsLayout_right'> But if you do it TJKeeran's way you should actually duplicate the file in the hooks folder with a new name and add a new file declaration to the donation tracker so that you don't lose the original one from the board index...

Happens a lot. Since it is an encoded product you can do this to not show the errors. you can use ftp and edit the initdata.php file changing this //-------------------------------------------------------------------------- // ADVANCED CONFIGURATION: ERROR REPORTING //-------------------------------------------------------------------------- error_reporting( E_STRICT | E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE | E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR | E_COMPILE_ERROR | E_USER_ERROR | E_USER_WARNING ); to this //-------------------------------------------------------------------------- // ADVANCED CONFIGURATION: ERROR REPORTING //-------------------------------------------------------------------------- error_reporting( E_STRICT | E_ERROR | E_PARSE | E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR | E_COMPILE_ERROR | E_USER_ERROR | E_USER_WARNING );

Welcome! Nice to see that people care about the community and want to keep it alive as long as they can.

We've been having a lot of new faces recently, it's awesome! Welcome to Webflake, hope you enjoy yourself.
