 Hello...

I would like to add what I think is called a "Sub Portal" to my site

http://nogreaterlove.myfreeforum.org

I would like it to go above the topposters portal on the left.

I would like it to say "Welcome Back" and then the users name.

I have created a new portal called WELCOME BACK (not sure if I should have done or not) and I have the code from HOWTO to add the welcome, user name and new messages notice

Code:
 <table width="100%" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0" class="forumline" align="center">
        <tr>
        <th colspan="2"  class="thTop" nowrap="nowrap"><span class="forumlink">Welcome</span></th>
        </tr>
 <tr>
        <td class="row2">
<center>
<span class="forumlink">{USERNAME}</span><br/>{AVATAR}<br/>
<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
   if ( {PRIVATE_MESSAGE_NEW_COUNT} >0)
   {
document.write('<p><a href="privmsg.php?folder=inbox"><img src="templates/myff_forum3/images/button_newmessages_red.gif"/></a></p>');
   }
//-->
</script>
</td>
  </tr>
 </center>
 </table>


But I'm not really sure what I'm doing.

I know I have to add something at the BOTTOM of overall_header and at the TOP of overall_footer to get it on the left side of the page (at least I think I know that Shocked )

But I have got myself stuck trying to work it all out. I wondered if you could help me and most importantly tell me whether this can be done!!!!

Thanks Nick....

Location: England		 To create a new portal click the blank one in portal setting and give it a name for example:

Name: WELCOMEBACK

the macro to place onto the forum for the portal to show would now be: {MYFF.WELCOMEBACK}

go to edit templates and find cms_welcomeback.tpl and edit it placing the code posted below into it.

Ok, this is the same code as you posted above, I just placed the switches in there so it only shows when people are logged in.

Code:
<!-- BEGIN switch_user_logged_in -->
<table width="100%" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0" class="forumline" align="center">
        <tr>
        <th colspan="2"  class="thTop" nowrap="nowrap"><span class="forumlink">Welcome Back!</span></th>
        </tr>
 <tr>
        <td class="row2">
<center>
<span class="forumlink">{USERNAME}</span><br />{AVATAR}<br />
<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
   if ( {PRIVATE_MESSAGE_NEW_COUNT} >0)
   {
document.write('<p><a href="privmsg.php?folder=inbox"><img src="templates/myff_forum3/images/button_newmessages_red.gif"/></a></p>');
   }
//-->
</script>
</center>
</td>
  </tr>
 </table>
<!-- END switch_user_logged_in -->


For placement:
open up you overall header and if you want it above topposters then scroll down the code until you get to the bottom, then slowly work up and find {MYFF.TOPPOSTERS}, then pop in the macro for the welcome portal you created, so you should have it appear like this:

{MYFF.WELCOMEBACK}<br />{MYFF.TOPPOSTERS}

 Hi Nick

This is bizarre......in overall header it doesnt show any of the portals to the left! Could this be because this is a portal template? I dont understand. Shocked

 Okay - I put it in the index body. The portal "box" has appeared but saying "Template Welcome Back" does not exist! I assume the code is wrong?

If that's the one titled ziddy_portal, then they should be at the bottom of the overall_header.tpl?

Actually can't do much, admin wont do it as a precaution, bear in mind, he needs to clarify you here and the account on myff, as he can't afford to lose a members forum, it would be better to create a new account on there and let the lost password one die off.

Location: England		 Ok, had a check of that template, looks like the portals were p[laced into the index_body.tpl, open it up and slowly scroll down, you will see {MYFF.TOPPOSTERS} eventually in there.

 Hi Nick - thanks for your help. I think I know (hopefully??) why it wasnt showing. I had put a gap in the WELCOME BACK title. Once I closed the gap it was fine - but it doesnt show the avatar or private messages like it says it should which is weird. At least I have the portal working. I think I am slowly beginning to understand the bit before I get to basic understanding!!! lol

Thanks again for your help....I'll have a look at the code again and try and see why its not doing what it say on the tin!!!

Of course - If editor HAD an avatar or any PM's it might work!!!

If you have a prize for dumbest on the internet...I'd like to apply!!!!

Seriously though....I have now sent editor a PM and all I get is a cross in the box. I really need to get this to work because this template does not seem to have a pop up box for PMs. Any ideas!
