How to get rid of the Hello

[Tidea]

Hi guys, I just installed SMF, and there's one thing that's annoying me.  There's the "hello" up on top, below the website name, and I was wondering if there's a way to edit it, or delete it overall.

Thanks

If you want it to just show your username you can erase the following line.. in themes/yourtheme/languages/index.english.php

Code Select Expand

$txt['hello_member_ndt'] = 'Hello';

or change the 'Hello' to what you want.

It didn't work

[shadow82x]

awesome, thanks for the quick reply.

I suppose this worked? I'm glad I could help.

[Tidea]

no it didn't work

[shadow82x]

no it didn't work

How did it not work? Did you get any error?

[Tidea]

No, the hello is still there, haha. 

www.project-tideas.com/forum

There's the link

It worked fine on my test forum so it just said "Shadow82x" on the top with no hello. Mind posting your themes/yourtheme/languages/index.english.php

Attach it or use code tags please.

Here's the sample.


// Escape any single quotes in here twice.. 'it\'s' -> 'it\\\'s'.
$txt['preview_title'] = 'Preview post';
$txt['preview_fetch'] = 'Fetching preview...';
$txt['preview_new'] = 'New message';
$txt['error_while_submitting'] = 'The following error or errors occurred while posting this message:';

$txt['split_selected_posts'] = 'Selected posts';
$txt['split_selected_posts_desc'] = 'The posts below will form a new topic after splitting.';
$txt['split_reset_selection'] = 'reset selection';

$txt['modify_cancel'] = 'Cancel';
$txt['mark_read_short'] = 'Mark Read';

$txt['pm_short'] = 'My Messages';
$txt['hello_member_ndt'] = 'Vision of the Future';

$txt['ajax_in_progress'] = 'Loading...';

?>

Could you attach the whole template strait from your FTP client please?

[Tidea]

there yah go.

[shadow82x]

That should work are you sure you saved/reloaded it. It worked fine on my test site.

[Tidea]

hmm, that's weird, it's save.  but how do I reload it?

[Tidea]

ok, nm, it's working now.  I had my admin at a blank name.  hehe .

Is there a way to change what's written at the top?  Like right now it's at project-tideas.com

[shadow82x]

I'm glad you got that solved - what text are you talking for there?

[Tidea]

The very top text.   Where it says my wesite's name, and then to the right of it says SMF.

And 2, is there a way I can change the link of the "home" button so that it's linked back to the original website, instead of the root forum?

[Kindred]

that is the name of your site....   

[shadow82x]

a) Search the forum because many people asked it (im even waiting for a doc to be approved saying how to remove it

b) I think theres a webisite button mod try searching the mod database
