Sign Up / Welcome Notice [Deleted]

Try disabling the chat and see if that fixes the issue.

OK, will do...and if it does??? The chat is great and I cannot remove it...

 

[Edrondol]

If it does, then you know the cause and will be able to make an informed decision/choice. Let both devs know there's a conflict and if it gets fixed you're golden.

Ok - thanks!!!! I need some kind of notice for unregistered users and Steve's (I think that is who posted the awesome code) is perfect....

This is essentially HTML and CSS pasted into a notice.
I use Notices on my Chat page with no issues at all.

My guess would be a missing div or tag/badly formed code is causing your problem.

 

[tekgirl]

Thanks brogan...I just copied the code from the post...

 

[Paul B]

I have just tested the code in the first post and it works fine with chat.

 

[tekgirl]

So then...I wonder if it could be my style...

 

[tekgirl]

Looks like this is the issue: img src="/styles/notice-background.png" - I do not have that image...am I supposed to create it?

Thanks

 

[Steve F]

If you dont want a image in the notice remove the code.

<img src="/styles/notice-background.png" style="display:block; width:672px;" title="EXAMPLE" />

 

[tekgirl]

I did and then nothing showed up What type of image is it?

 

[Steve F]

What do you mean nothing showed up? The notice didn't show?

 

[tekgirl]

Exactly - the notice did not show up without the image.

 

[Adam Howard]

Exactly - the notice did not show up without the image.

I can confirm this.

Removing this line seems to remove the notice.

<img src="/styles/notice-background.png" style="display:block; width:672px;" title="EXAMPLE" />

This looks great, can't wait to try it out. Thanks!

Solution to the width thingy: add 'width=100%' in but make sure the initial size of the background 'fits the largest area'. Then if your welcome shows up in any other areas like it does mine, then the background will resize to whatever width is available. On 'my site' I have it only showing up in the Forum tab, but then if I hit 'Whats New?', it still shows it, but much larger area. The 'width='100%' takes care of the largest area @Whats New', then when it's in the normal area (with the right-side having the modules show), it stays the same aspect ratio.

So see what I mean, just check out my site, then click on 'Whats New':

As you can see it fixes that problem ;-) Thanks for such a beautiful solution! It also fixed my problem on the Portal (Home tab) where I have an 'auto RSS Feed' or video or even a flash file fit right into your coding and I really needed that to make the 'Layout' for portal work! Love this idea...

Recently, we created some styled notices. There were a total of 3 created.

All 3 were set to be seen by the Admin usergroup, for testing purposes. I got on my mobile, opened up the site, and when it came up, the first Notice 1 was shown, but below it was a huge empty block. Then as the notices changed, Notice 2 and 3 were simultaneously shown, one on top of the other. Where Notice 3 was ---- that was the big white empty space when Notice 1 was shown.

Is there an issue with the code, the notice system, the Android browser?

 

[Joe Link]

This is great, thank you! My only question is how do I make it so the notice is displayed only on the main forum page? It's displaying everywhere for me.

Under page criteria tab, just set it to forum_list
