SMF Registration Bar

**htmlmaster** · 04-07-2007, 07:44 PM

-Edit- Problem solved folks! I managed to work with an old mod and got it to work!

I've looked forever, but I can't seem to find a mod for SMF that shows a welcome message to guests. Does anyone with other software who uses a mod like this have some source code to share with me so I could add it to my forum?

Thanks!

Well all you would need to do is use an if condition and set it to guest.

Well, I'll give myself some credit, I know that much, but I'm not sure how to combine the PHP along with the HTML/CSS of the message. If I had some example code, I could probably figure out how to put it together for SMF.

I wish I could help you, I've been messing around with it myself. I'm going to start working on a new skin soon, and this is definitely something on my checklist.

I believe I've narrowed it down to just editing a line of text in one of the templates to what you want.

I can show you how I did it if you want. All I did was add some CSS to the template's main stylesheet...

Code:

#infobar a, #infobar a:link, #infobar a:visited, #infobar a:active {
    display: block;
    color: #000;
    width:100%;
    background: #FFFFE1 url(warning.gif) no-repeat fixed .3em .3em;
    border-bottom: .16em outset;
    text-decoration: none;
    cursor: default;
}

#infobar a:hover {
    color: #FFF;
    background: #3169B6 url(warning.gif) no-repeat fixed .3em .3em;
}

#infobar p{
    margin:0px;
    padding: .45em 0em .45em 22px;
    font-size:14px;
        font-weight: bold;
        text-align: center;
}

Then, to the index.template.php file, I added this code right after the <body> tag...

Code:

      if($context['user']['is_guest'] && $context['current_action'] != 'register')
         echo '<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td width="100%"><div id="infobar"><a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=register"><p>YOUR MESSAGE HERE</p></a></div></td></tr></table>';

That should work.

Excellent, works perfectly for me. I moved it down a bit though, didn't like it at the top

**htmlmaster** · 04-11-2007, 02:19 AM

Hehe, for anyone who doesn't have a welcome message like this already, I highly recommend adding one. In just the past two days, 3 members joined. That's compared to our average one member joining per 3 days.

**DrkSnpr14** · 04-11-2007, 02:50 AM

Myself as well. Two new registrations in the past couple days

It really makes a difference

EDIT - Now I've got a problem. This isn't working properly with the table I just set up as mentioned in the other thread. I've tried rearranging things to see if it might help, but nothing is working with this bar anymore

@Htmlmaster, packup it as a mod, please submit to SMF MOD site! This will be handy to many people!

but altering the style.css is not a good idea

**htmlmaster** · 05-03-2007, 09:53 PM

Yeah; I should do that... That'll be my goal for the weekend. Wish me luck everyone!

Sorry, but I don't know how to help you. Maybe just play with the code and change the div for the registration bar into a table.
