It's a simple and fine mod.
Is there a way to do otherwise? It would be nice if I could show the news fader only for guests and not for members.

show it only for guests? not sure why you would want to do that but here's how:

in /Themes/default/BoardIndex.template.php

Code (find) Select Expand


// Show the news fader?  (assuming there are things to show...)
if ($settings['show_newsfader'] && !empty($context['fader_news_lines']))


Code (replace) Select Expand


// Show the news fader?  (assuming there are things to show...)
if (($context['user']['is_guest']) && ($settings['show_newsfader']) && !empty($context['fader_news_lines']))


hope this helps

This is exactly what I am looking for however I'm not advanced enough for this part

Install the package on the SMF Default 'Curve' Theme ONLY. Other themes will need manual edits.

I've looked at the "How Do I Modify Files" thread but I'm still hazy on what exactly I need to edit.  I'm using theme "Brown and Tan"

send me your 'BoardIndex.template.php' file please
