I am trying to chagne the welcome message "Welcome there, guest" to make it centered. I changed it in the style of "welcome panel", but this affects the signed-in user message, which looks very ugly when it's centered. Any quick fix?
Thanks,
Georges
Try the templates, header_welcomeblock_guest
What should I change in the template? I am a beginner in CSS.
Another question: how to access the $lang variable?
Thanks,
Georges
That's a formatted line, and it ain't that easy to move things to where you want them to go without a reasonable understanding of html. Else you will end up with 'broken' templates.
Would like to help... but that's more of a tuition on html, than just moving the welcome text around.
I have a reasonable understanding of html.
Anyways, I am asking for help, so I would appreciate help.
For those who are willing to help:
I created an additional CSS attributes:
.welcome_guest{
font-size: 12px;
font-color: #0066CC
font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica
}
and then in the guest welcome header template, I changed things to:
$lang->welcome_guest (<a href="$settings[bburl]/member.php?action=login">$lang->welcome_login</a> — <a href="$settings[bburl]/member.php?action=register">$lang->welcome_register</a>)
<span class="welcome_guest"><br /><br />Welcome to our forums! To post messages or view some specific sections, you will need to register. <a href="$settings[bburl]/member.php?action=register">Create your free account here!</a><br />You can also start viewing messages by selecting the forum you want from the selection below.
</span>
I don't see why the colors don't change for the text between the span!
I am forcing the font-color: #0066CC, but it's still black. I think I am not following a priority or something related to that. Any help is appreciated.
P.S: Attached is a snapshot of the current header for guests. I would like to be able to chnage the color of the text: "Welcome to our forums..."
Thanks!

Try this...
.welcome_guest
{
font-size: 12px;
font-color: #0066CC;
font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;
{
Thanks, but it didn't solve the problem.

This should fix it...
Remove all of the text from welcome_guest and replace it with this.
<span style="float:right;">$lang->welcome_current_time</span>
<br />
$lang->welcome_guest ( <a href="$settings[bburl]/member.php?action=login">$lang->welcome_login</a> )
<br />
<br />
<font color=#0066CC>
<font size="2">
Welcome to our forums! To post messages or view some specific sections, you will need to register.
</font size>
</font color>
<br />
<br />
<a href="$settings[bburl]/member.php?action=register"><font color=#FF0000> Create your free account here!</a></font color>
<br />
<br />
<font color=#0066CC>You can also start viewing messages by selecting the forum you want from the selection below.</font color>
I've left it "stretched" out so that you can play with it. If you want to change the font style use "font wrappers".
Just so you know, for text with CSS:
- Font-family, font-weight, font-size and a few others exist.
- However, for the colour of text, it is simply color (No font- prefix).
