Topic: Add message to index.php (guest must register)

[DMR123]

Hi,
I have posted this in my other thread but its not getting any views, as I was asking something else which was solved, but then I asked something else.. nevermind.

I would like to add a custom message to the index.php, the page where guests must register before viewing the forum. I have added a message to the page when the site is in maintenance mode, but I would now like to take it off maintenance mode and change the settings so that guests cannot browse the forum and must register.

The custom message only shows in the maintenance mode and not in the other mode.

Can anyone help..


Cheers

You can use some mod:

Or you can do a custom edit of function template_kick_guest() in Login.template.php.  That's the 'Warning' message that guests see when guest access is disallowed.

if you visit www.photo-station.co.uk/index.php you will see the custom message (Titled "please read"). 

I was told what to do for that here: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=476159.0

But once I take it out of maintenance mode, that message goes. I would like it to stay where it is, but when the forum isnt visible to guests.
