Hello,

Basically if you go to my forums : RS Bandits - Index - You see the message called 'Welcome to RS Bandits'. I added that in myself but I want it to be only viewable to guests and not to members when they log in.


Everything is php

then you need to have a check like
if ($_SESSION['userid'] == "") { echo "text" }
if you use sessions to keep the users logged in, and set the userid or something else as a variable to the session....

I'm not really catching along, but this is the code I have:

<div class="catbg" style="padding: 5px; vertical-align: middle; text-align: center; ">Welcome to RS Bandits Forums!</td></div>
</tr>
<tr>
   <div id="notice">

Well, that's only the HTML, I assume that you have php code controlling the output as you wrote here?

EDIT: ah, you're running SMF forum, well, then this category isn't the best place for your questions, as this is about the programming...

Haha, what software did you think I was using?

Also

<?php

// Version: 1.1; index


/*   This template is, perhaps, the most important template in the theme. It

   contains the main template layer that displays the header and footer of

   the forum, namely with main_above and main_below. It also contains the

   menu sub template, which appropriately displays the menu; the init sub

   template, which is there to set the theme up; (init can be missing.) and

   the linktree sub template, which sorts out the link tree.


   The init sub template should load any data and set any hardcoded options.


   The main_above sub template is what is shown above the main content, and

   should contain anything that should be shown up there.


   The main_below sub template, conversely, is shown after the main content.

   It should probably contain the copyright statement and some other things.


   The linktree sub template should display the link tree, using the data

   in the $context['linktree'] variable.


   The menu sub template should display all the relevant buttons the user

   wants and or needs.

You need to find out which session key is set when they log in, and use Orjan's code. An example.

Might be a little late on this one, but that's normal for me!
Anyway,
Just wrap your message in this.

	if ($context['user']['is_guest'])

		echo '

			your message here';

That should do the trick...I think! ;)
