Changelog
v1.0 - 8th August 2010: Initial Version

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


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



// 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 :o

Any way to hide from Regular members, and only show to Administrators and other groups ? Becouse i want to add some stuff there, but Regular Registered members will see it..

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
