./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php

It doesn't exist on the theme I'm using as a default. Also, after installing the mod, nothing happened. So I went and installed it manually for the theme I'm using and still nothing happened. I did edit the index file though, for a custom banner/navbar setup, so that could be the cause.

What theme are you using? Can you link me to it?

http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=577

I should've thought of that. -_°_-

:)

The only file you need to edit is the index.template.php of the dn theme. I just tested out with that theme and you can see the result at the screenshot attached below

If you want, you can attach here the file in question and I will make the edits for you :)

Do you mean your custom message? Just place the text between the <strong></strong> tags

I have tried using html and bbc in this mod and it's not parsing it I don't think.

I have tested it at a 1.1.6 forum and it works fine. To be honest I haven''t tested it yet at a 2.0 beta 4 forum

Here is a screenshot at a 1.1.6 forum

I manually edited it in (a skill I learned working with phpBB3 which I now hate).
But it still doesn't show up. I believe it could have to do with this edit I made:

<div id="side_borders_inner">
<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td width="100%" class="logo_bg">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td class="logo_bg"><table>
<tr><td><a href="http://forums.mtgdarkness.com"><img src="http://www.mtgdarkness.com/images/darknesslogo.gif" alt="MTGDarkness Banner" width="100%" /></a></td></tr>
<tr>
<td class="menu" width="100%">
<ul class="mtgdmenu">
<li class="mtgdmenu"><p class="mtext"><a href="http://www.mtgdarkness.com" class="menulink">Home</a></p></li>

</ul>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<td class="logo_bg">&nbsp;</td>


That replaces the original place where the banner $var would've been. Could this be the cause?

//The start of the language strings for the guest message mod $txt['mf_guests']='Guest Greeting Message
Leave blank to show the default message

Open the Modifications.english.php file in the languages directory and make sure that all the contents in there are between the starting and closing php tags.

Just enter the text at the box area of the mod settings at the Acp of your forum. The text will appear centered by itself. bbcode is not enabled, html yes.
