How can I use notices in custom places?

[caracena]

Hi everyone,

I have a skinned theme and above the forums, there's an "announcement" place that is 1 line tall. It's just a place to put a 1 line notice or something of interest.

The current text my forum is displaying there is hard codded (a welcome messagge). Is there any way for me to replace that line with a "Notices" code so I can display different notices for different type of visitors? I've tried $vbphrase[notice_html] but nothing appeared.

Thanks!

The cleanest solution is probably to edit this template and remove the welcome message completely:

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> « » -> Forum Home Templates -> FORUMHOME

Then you can just create notices for all of your groups:

Admin CP -> Notices

Thanks for your quick answer. Now, to make it work, after I remove the hard coded welcome message, won't I get a blank space because the system will not know where to put the notices? What variable whould I put in there?

Thanks again,

Notices already have a place at the bottom of the navbar. You can just remove the entire table cell for that default welcome message.
