I want to display a notice on all Sites, except on page.
Is there another way insted of activating all other nodes in the positive list?

 

[Duncan]

The notice system looks great. I love the new changes to the trophies too. Great work guys.

 

[Mr. Goodie2Shoes]

You people have implemented loads of things in 1.1

Two of my first notices I put up on my site. I'm a rookie with HTML and CSS...so just something simple.

Is an animated image allowed ?
Like rolling dice ?

 

[Saeed]

Sure, just replace the .png with a .gif.

I just chuckled in amazement as I watched this video. Very, very cool.

Maybe start a thread "examples of Notices and their .html" ?
Post your awesome notices (with the code ) for all to enjoy.

Certainly the Style makers need to make styled notices as well !

Then I'm sure they will post the html/css template of notices if they feel obliged to submit their custom notices. Would they not?

How do you place a notice on the forum home page only?

Page Criteria -> Content Template is: forum_list

How can I find out which template to edit?
Using your browser, view the page source and look for a line of code near the top of the page which begins
<div id="content" class="; the class is the name of the template. So for the main forum page, the line of code is:
<div id="content" class="forum_list">, which makes the template forum_list.

Spot on Brogan. Thanks

FWIW, this was what I threw together for the demo. The inline styles would be moved to classes if I could be bothered.

Any idea why my text appears Under the background image instead of over it?
Thanks,

Maybe there should be an official "Support Thread" for Notices ?
I think there will be lots of questions over the next months.

 

[Stevegriswold]

Yeah I love these notices. I copied the example code but must be missing something because the Div seems to not be aligning itself over the image.

This is just HTML and CSS, which has nothing to do with notices.
In this particular instance, it just needs to be set as a background image using a CSS class.

I am currently writing the help manual entry for notices and it will be finished in due course.

good to know, thanks!

besides "forum_list", is there a chance you could list certain templates or which templates are regularly used for notices ?
Just to better understand how this works.....

For example:
How do I put a Notice into the "Register-page" (domain.com/register) only ?

 

[Sydael]

Nice thing

This thread is the "What are Notices?" thread. A brief video about what they are.

Deploying Notices effectively and the implications of Notices for your forum are much harder concepts to understand. The extremely innovative Xenforo notices is breaking new ground. Webmasters will need more information and help to use this powerful feature. I think Notices are so important, they deserve a subforum to effectively educate and show with examples how powerful they could be. It would be a go to location for discussion about Notices.

It is entirely impossible for you to write one entry in the help manual to accomplish the broader goal of helping admins with Notices.
