"Hey [Member Group] [Username]" feature?

[R4C3R]

You know how when you log in your username it says
"Hey [username], you have 3 new messages"?
I would like to make it:
"Hey [member group] [username], you have 3 new messages".
I don't care about the messages part, but I would like it to look something like..
"Hey Administrator R4C3R".

Please and thank you.



Sorry if I post this in the wrong section.

Please attach ./Themes/{your_Theme}/index.template.php here.

u know, this will show " hello regular members xxuser " for ur members

[R4C3R]

I would change the member groups by the way.

Um, the theme is the default theme. I haven't started looking for another theme just yet.

I don't know where I can find the default theme's index.template.php

Which code do I need to edit?

[Marcus Forsberg]

./Themes/default/index.template.php

[R4C3R]

I will be changing my skin to "DarkBreak" soon enough, so I attached it's index.template.php.

I believe this requires additional query to the database for membergroup name.

I didn't get the Sources/Load.php thing, but I went down below and used the "index.template.php (your theme)"

index.template.php (your theme)


Code: (Find) [Select]

if ($context['user']['is_logged'])

Code: (Replace) [Select]

global $user_info;
      if ($context['user']['is_logged'])

Code: (Find) [Select]

<li><b>', $txt['hello_member'], ' ', $context['user']['name'],'</b></li>';

Code: (Replace) [Select]

<li><b>', $txt['hello_member'], ' ', $user_info['group'], ' ', $context['user']['name'],'</b></li>';

I searched and replaced the above code and when I uploaded it, nothing changed? :l

You need to apply Load.php edits too. It won't work otherwise.

[Bulakbol]

I was thinking about sub-routine (function) instead of JOIN to query the groupname in case he need it in another page. I think JOIN is faster although I can't prove it.

[R4C3R]

I don't have a load.php file? o_0

All I have in my zip folder is:
images (folder)
languages (folder)
BoardIndex.template.php
index.php
index.template.php
MessageIndex.template.php
style.css
theme_info.xml

Where can I find load.php?

[[SiNaN]]

It's in ./Sources directory.

[R4C3R]

It's not there?

O_o

The file you attached has the contents of ./Themes/{your_theme}/ directory. Check the Sources directory in your forum root. Your forum wouldn't work without that file.

[R4C3R]

I don't know where the sources directory is.

I'm an admin and not the 'forum admin' who made the forum, btw.

I tried adding my forum url, then "/themes/darkbreak/"
                                                    "/themes/darkbreak/source"
                                                    "/themes/darkbreak/sources"
                                                    "/themes/darkbreak/source/load.php"
                                                    "/themes/darkbreak/sources/load.php"
Nothing comes up, or it just says Page not Found.

How do I access this load.php file, and where do I access it? From the admin menu? Themes & Layout? Theme settings? D;

Sorry if I'm a complete idiot about this.

You need FTP access to edit that file. If you don't have it, can you install packages?

[R4C3R]

I guess so..

What packages?

[[SiNaN]]

Modification packages.

Admin > Package Manager

[R4C3R]

ok.

What packages should I install and upload ?
