How To Make Custom Index Message Seen By Certain Usergroup

[Alphabet]

Hello MyBB Community --

Okay so this may be something simple. I coded in a message in the index template to make guests either login or register.

I forgot completely that once the user does whatever, the message will still be up.

Where do I actually need to put the code at so only guests can see it?

Thanks for taking the time to read this!

use mybb index_start hook and check if user have your condition, redirect it to a custom page

Thanks for your reply! Sorry for my lack of knowledge, I haven't coded in a while let along on MyBB. The current code I got is:

<table class="tborder" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="4" border="0">
	<thead>
		<tr>
			<td class="thead">
				<strong>Welcome Guest</strong>
			</td>
		</tr>
	</thead>
	<tbody>
		<tr>
			<td class="trow1">Welcome to ModdedLobby.com! Please note that you must <a href="https://moddedlobby.com/member.php?action=login">login</a> or register free <a href="https://moddedlobby.com/member.php?action=register">here</a> to see threads. Thanks for understanding and also for your cooperation!</td>
		</tr>
	</tbody>
</table>

What exactly should I add to it? Again, thanks for your reply!

Go to Home » Board Settings » Login and Registration Options -> Force Users to Login -> Yes

Then users will be required to login in order to access the board.

But it won't display a custom message. To do so you will need a plugin.

The easiest way to edit the message is modifying the following line:

Change it to:

error("Please login or register.");

Hi Omar --

Thanks for your reply!
I remember seeing a plugin a while back for it but couldn't ever find it again, haha. I went into my Login and Registration Options and did what you said so that will do it for me.

Again, thanks for your assistance!
