Request Plugin

To Welcome Newest Member on News Feed

Hey, please welcome our newest member username to the "Forum Name"

[Peter]

No need for a plugin.

Goto...

Admin Home > Themes > Layout Templates

Click on "Home".

Under "$[news"]", add this script.

<script>

var forum = "$[forum.name.escaped]";
var html = "";

html += "<div style='width: 895px; float: left;'>Hey, please welcome our newest member ";
html += "<a href='/user/$[newest_user.id]'><b>$[newest_user.name.escaped]</b></a> to the \"" + forum + "\"</div>";

$("#news .items > div").prepend(html);

</script>


If the above doesn't work, try this, as some people have reported different things...

<script>

var forum = "$[forum.name.escaped]";
var html = "";

html += "<div style='width: 895px; float: left;'>Hey, please welcome our newest member ";
html += "<a href='/user/$[newest_user.id]'><b>$[newest_user.name.escaped]</b></a> to the \"" + forum + "\"</div>";

$("#news .items").prepend(html);

</script>

Sorry Steve, my selector was wrong, I had an extra div in there for some reason.

Copy the code again

Hello Peter...

This script is really nice and works fantastic with another News Feed. Once I remove that news feed (my input) then the script does not show anything. Only when I create a new News Feed, it starts up again.

Peter, How can I add it to custom pages?

Ugggh, I added this code and it doubled up the newsfadar .. I removed it, now it's still there. Anyway to put the newsfadar back the way it was?

Edit:  I fixed it!

Hi Peter Need help. The code isn't working correctly on my forum it skips or pushes right over the Hey Welcome so you can't read it and just displays the rest of the feed. I tried changing speeds, taking out lines of text and no text and nothing corrects it to show up with speeding right on past the feed. could you check it out as it is running. click on my banner.

How do I make the news feed taller and use larger font?

[M³]

Anyway of making the newest members' name to bold?

[mamagail48]

This is not working correctly for me if I could get some help with it. Much appreciated.

I love it. You are a bright and shining star in an otherwise dark universe.

How do I make it bigger?
