Well had a little play and came up with a way to add a welcome banner for guests only. Here is how to do it:
Edit the Main Header Template and remove the </div> marked in RED:
Quote:<div id="container">
<a name="top" id="top"></a>
<div id="header">
<div class="logo"><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/index.php"><img src="images/red_theme/logo.png" alt="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" title="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" /></a></div>
<div class="menu">
<ul>
<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/search.php"><img src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/search.gif" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_search}</a></li>
<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/memberlist.php"><img src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/memberlist.gif" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_memberlist}</a></li>
<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/calendar.php"><img src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/calendar.gif" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_calendar}</a></li>
<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/misc.php?action=help"><img src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/help.gif" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_help}</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<hr class="hidden" />
<div id="panel">
{$welcomeblock}
</div>
</div>
<hr class="hidden" />
<br class="clear" />
<div id="content">
{$pm_notice}
{$bannedwarning}
{$bbclosedwarning}
{$unreadreports}
<navigation>
<br />
Now edit the header_welcomeblock_member Template and add the </div> which is marked in green (basically at the end of the file)
Quote:<span style="float:right;">{$lang->welcome_current_time}</span>
{$lang->welcome_back} (<a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/usercp.php"><strong>{$lang->welcome_usercp}</strong></a>{$modcplink}{$admincplink} — <a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/member.php?action=logout&logoutkey={$mybb->user['logoutkey']}">{$lang->welcome_logout}</a>)<br />
<span class="links">
<a href="#" onclick="MyBB.popupWindow('{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/misc.php?action=buddypopup', 'buddyList', 350, 350);">{$lang->welcome_open_buddy_list}</a>
</span>
<a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/search.php?action=getnew">{$lang->welcome_newposts}</a> | <a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/search.php?action=getdaily">{$lang->welcome_todaysposts}</a> | <a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/private.php">{$lang->welcome_pms}</a> {$lang->welcome_pms_usage}
</div>
Now edit the header_welcomeblock_guest Template and add the code which is in green to the bottom of the file:
Quote:<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
lang.username = "{$lang->login_username}";
lang.password = "{$lang->login_password}";
lang.login = "{$lang->login}";
lang.lost_password = " — <a href=\"{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/member.php?action=lostpw\">{$lang->lost_password}<\/a>";
lang.register_url = " — <a href=\"{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/member.php?action=register\">{$lang->welcome_register}<\/a>";
// -->
</script>
<span style="float: right;">{$lang->welcome_current_time}</span>
<span id="quick_login">{$lang->welcome_guest} (<a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/member.php?action=login" onclick="MyBB.quickLogin(); return false;">{$lang->welcome_login}</a> — <a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/member.php?action=register">{$lang->welcome_register}</a>)</span>
</div>
<div style="text-align:center; margin-top:15px;">
<a href="member.php?action=register"><img src="images/red_theme/register.jpg" title="Click Here To Register on {$mybb->settings['bbname']}" alt="Click Here To Register"></a>
</div>
Then simply edit the image location in the last bit of code and anything else you want to adjust.
This was done on the standard MyBB theme on MyBB v1.4.8
