[ayasha]

has anyone installed this? i could have sworn i got the mod from here, but i cannot find the thread now.

as usual, i am having problems finding the code in templates/*/lang_main.php.

if you have installed this, please let me know if you would like to take a look at my file. <img>

thanks in advance.

language/lang_english/lang_main.php
there is no lang_main in the templates

I have installed this on many 132, Lt and 140 forums.

I have tried as well. I know the one she is referring to. I also had probs there as well. Couldnt find the line to edit. But I for the life of me can't remember where it came from...

Hack Title: Welcome Panel On Index
## Hack Version: 2.0.1
## Author: Aiencran
## Description: This hack adds a welcome panel at the top of the index page with many information about user such as
## the amount of the new messages, new topics, new private messages and new users since his last visit.
## A suggested topic is also displayed. If user is a guest, a special welcome message is displayed.
## Compatibility: 2.0.11

This is the one that I have.

Here is the link to the mod at phpbb

http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=230730

I just had a quick look at it and it doesnt seem to that much of a problem to install.......

lemme know if it is the right one...

[DjPorkchop]

yup that be the one...

[ayasha]

<img> well, you could tell i needed some sleep. the file is

templates/*/index_body.tpl

what is the difference between the welcome panel and the dashboard found it? maybe that is the one i intended to install.

i lost so much when i lost my bookmarks on the other site, well between that and all my info being on a HD that is sitting on the shelf since my computer is not working, :sigh: guess i should not complain though a borrowed computer is better than having none at all.

looks like the dashboard is just uploading and running an install.php.

which would be the better to install?

this is probably where you got it. It is in common mods because it will work with all versions of IM and phpBB

index_body.tpl
[code]  <BEGIN><table><tr><td>{BANNER_18_IMG}</td></tr></table><br><END>  <table>   <tr>     <td><span>{CURRENT_TIME}</span></td>   </tr></table><table>   <tr>     <td><span><a>{L_INDEX}</a></span></td>   </tr>   <tr>     <td><img></td>     <td><span>{WELCOME_USER}</span><br><span>{WELCOME_USER_INFO}</span></td>   </tr>   <BEGIN>   <tr>     <td><span>{LAST_VISIT_DATE}<br>{WELCOME_NEWS}</span></td>   </tr>   <END>   <BEGIN>   <form>   <tr>       <td><span>{L_USERNAME}]

I tried dashboard on two separate forums and never got it to work correctly

[ayasha]

thanks Helter, now what do i do with the code you placed here?

i am going to bump this one also...again code was posted, but i do not know where to put it in the index_body.tpl <img>

[Helter]

backup your current index_body.tpl, and replace the entire file with the one I posted, as long as you dont have any other mods that have modified templates/fisubice/index_body.tpl

or do this

instead of this

Code: Select all

##-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------#<table><tr><td><span><BEGIN>{LAST_VISIT_DATE}<br><END>{CURRENT_TIME}<br></span><span><a>{L_INDEX}</a></span></td><td><BEGIN><a>{L_SEARCH_NEW}</a><br><a>{L_SEARCH_SELF}</a><br><END><a>{L_SEARCH_UNANSWERED}</a></td></tr></table>

use this

Code: Select all

##-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------# <table><tr><td>{L_INDEX}</td></tr><tr><td><BEGIN>{LAST_VISIT_DATE}<br><END><BEGIN>{LAST_VISIT_DATE}<br><END>{CURRENT_TIME}<br><a>{L_INDEX}</a>{NAV_CAT_DESC}</td><td><a>{L_SEARCH_UNANSWERED}</a><br><BEGIN><a>{L_SEARCH_NEW}</a><br><END><BEGIN><a>{L_SEARCH_NEW}</a><br><a><strong>{L_MARK_FORUMS_READ}</strong></a><END></td></tr></table>

and replace with this
[code]<table>   <tr>    <td><span>{CURRENT_TIME}</span></td>   </tr></table><table>   <tr>    <td><span><a>{L_INDEX}</a></span></td>   </tr>   <tr>    <td><img></td>    <td><span>{WELCOME_USER}</span><br><span>{WELCOME_USER_INFO}</span></td>   </tr>   <BEGIN>   <tr>    <td><span>{LAST_VISIT_DATE}<br>{WELCOME_NEWS}</span></td>   </tr>   <END>   <BEGIN>   <form>   <tr>       <td><span>{L_USERNAME}]


this edit assumes your using the updated fisubice, in which case youll want to add the wercome_panel.gif to fisubice/images and all the images color folders

If your not using the updated fisubice,
find this <td> and edit the info in bold


<td><img></td>
<td><span>{WELCOME_USER}</span><br><span>{WELCOME_USER_INFO}</span></td>


for the original fisubice, just delete the bold code, for any other template, delete the bold and edit the template name.

[ayasha]

thanks

[Helter]

the second find removes the redundant login script because it has now been relocated to the welcome block on top of the index_body. Ill edit the find/delete when I get home from work and post it. For now, it will not affect the rest of the mod

[ayasha]

thank you so much Helter, sometimes i have no trouble finding the code, but other times, i just get so frustrated trying to find it, i really appreciate the help you gave me on this one <img>

[Helter]

np. For fisubice, find

[code]<BEGIN><tr><td><form><table><tr><td>{L_LOGIN_LOGOUT}</td></tr><tr><td><table><tr> <td>{L_USERNAME}]

and just delete it. That should be it.

[ayasha]

thanks Helter, got it all working now <img>

[Helter]

your welcome <img>

Also when a person is not logged in. the box has the click here to become a member, however the link takes you to the login page not regeistration

[ayasha]

i use to want the avatar to show too, but i found some nice graphics i prefere to use, i have one for each theme <img>

[emptylane]

This is the fix i came up with for the click here to register link when a users not logged in.

index.php

Find

Code: Select all

 <a>', '</a>  

replace with

Code: Select all

 <a>', '</a>  

[ayasha]

[emptylane]

To add the users avatar in place of the welcome_panel.gif image that appears on the left of the Welcome Panel block.
Find

Code: Select all

 <td><img></td>     <td><span>{WELCOME_USER}</span><br><span>{WELCOME_USER_INFO}</span></td>  

Find in line.

Code: Select all

 <img>  

Replace with
