Welcome Message

[Ryan Kent]

I am trying to locate the Welcome Message phrase for unregistered visitors.

"Hello there guest and welcome to [forum name]. To gain full access you must Register....."

I can't locate the phrase, and don't see a reference in PAGE_CONTAINER.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

That sounds like an add-on or template modification to me.

Where exactly are you seeing this phrase?

Yeah, I don't think there is a default visitor welcome message. I've never seen one.
I did my own welcome message,

I believe that's part of the XenFans Welcome Blocks addon. *finds link unless Brogan beats me to it*

EDIT: It's here, though I think there is(/was?) an add-on that can be installed instead of doing the template changes.

I am helping Smooth set up his site: http://www.smoothforum.com

I had thought it was XenFans Welcome add-on, but he doesn't have that installed so I figured it was default XF. If it is not, then nevermind I'll take a closer look.

Definitely a custom template/code.

Definitely a custom template/code.

Unless he's talking about this (located in the PAGE_CONTAINER)

<xen:if is="!{$visitor.user_id}"><br /><br /><br />
                                                <p class="importantMessage">Hello there guest and welcome to our forum!<br />
                                                If you like what you see in the Guest Sections, then you should <a href="{xen:link 'register/'}"><b>Register</b></a> to gain full access <br />
                                                to the site. We have much more to show you!<br />  Registration is free and it takes only a few moments to complete.<br />
                                                Already a member? <a href="{xen:link 'login/'}">Login here</a> then!</p>
                                                </xen:if>

Just slightly changed in the version he is looking for.

 

[Paul B]

It's still custom and not part of the default code.

 

[Ryan Kent]

That was it Decent. Yes it was a customization which I removed. I presume there is a thread in the template edit section offering that change.
