Close the login/Hello box by default

[Zsolteey]

Hi,

I have an SMF forum and i want to the hello/login box would be closed by default.
Hello/login box is the top box where the quick search and news panel is exists and these text

Code Select Expand

Hello Zsolteey
Show unread posts since last visit.
Show new replies to your posts.

If I click the little up arrow on the top right side this box is closing. I want this closed style by default.
How can I achieve that? Are there any settings in the admin to do that or which file and how should I edit?

Thank you!

Sincerely
Zsolteey.

no, there are no settings in the admin for that. You would need to make a code edit....

Okay. Can you explain how to do that?

If you want it collapsed by default for logged in members -

index.template.php

Code Select Expand



bCurrentlyCollapsed: ', empty($options['collapse_header']) ? 'true' : 'false', ',



If you also want it collapsed for guests -

Code Select Expand



bUseCookie: ', $context['user']['is_guest'] ? 'false' : 'true', ',

I tried it with no luck
I forget to say I'm using SMF 2.0.11.

well, it would have no effect if you have already SET it yourself...   the code change just sets the default state if it has not been specifically chosen already and set in your cookie.

I changed the index.template.php and I opened a new inprivate Chrome tab. So there was no previous cookie.

I tried all the options (true-true, false-false, true-false, false-true) but nothing changed at all.

I'm using Tinyportal frontend. Maybe it has effect for this settings?

Ohhh, I find it.
I changed the default\index.template.php but I have theme installed and I have to change the code in the themefolder\index.template.php.

Now it works as I expected

Thank you for the help!
