Message on Forum Index

[MikeAssad]

Is it possible to put a message on the board index for new visitors to view? I want to put a small paragraph about my website.

Thanks

[Steve Machol]

Can you be more specific?

[MikeAssad]

When a guest views the main page of the forum, I would like there to be a paragraph welcoming people to the site and telling them what it's about.

You can edit the forumhome template to add whatever message you want:

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager Edit Templates -> GO -> Forum Home Templates -> FORUMHOME

This is all good, but I only want UNregistered users to see the message. It will be a "Welcome visiter/view our FAQ before posting/blah blah blah" message. How do you set that up?

You can use conditionals to do this. Here is the online documentation for using template conditionals:

Brilliant! Thank you Steve. This is exactly what I was looking for.

WOW! I had no idea that conditionals were now available for vB2. Thanks for the hard work Steve!

[Steve Machol]

No, conditionals are not available in vB2. You need to upgrade to vB3 to use these. We get so few vB2 questions anymore that I made a mistake and assumed this was in the vB3 forum.

Sorry, that was my fault. I found the question in a site wide search, not caring which forum I was in. I use vB3 and should have mentioned that fact.

Anyway, thanks again to the vB team for the excellent software. It is worth every penny.
