Locked Board Message

[aRMY83]

I have this code (main footer) of v4.5 and was wondering if a mod of some kind can be done for the v5?

<script type="text/javascript">
/* locked board message */
if(pb_username == 'Guest') {
var mes='Please <a href="?action=login"><u> Login</u></a> or <a href="?action=register"><u>Register</u></a> To View This Area';//Message For Guests
} else {
var mes='No Threads Posted Yet!';//Message For Members
}

var td=document.getElementsByTagName("td");
for(e=0;e<td.length;e++){
if(td[e].width=="24%" && td[e].className=="windowbg2" && td[e].firstChild.innerHTML.length<2){
td[e].innerHTML=mes;
td[e].vAlign="middle";
}
}
</script>

Board List Template.

Replace this;

<td class="latest last">
{if $[board.posts] > 0}
{if $[board.last_thread]}
$[board.last_thread.recent_link]<br />
by $[board.last_thread.last_post.created_by_user]<br />
<span class="date">$[board.last_thread.last_post.date]</span>
{/if}
{else}
No posts have been made on this board.
{/if}
</td>


With this;

<td class="latest last">
{if $[current_user.is_member]}{if $[board.posts] > 0}
{if $[board.last_thread]}
$[board.last_thread.recent_link]<br />
by $[board.last_thread.last_post.created_by_user]<br />
<span class="date">$[board.last_thread.last_post.date]</span>
{/if}
{else}
No posts have been made on this board.
{/if}
{else}
Please <a href="https://www.proboards.com/login/XXXXXXX" target="_parent">Login</a> or <a href="https://www.proboards.com/register/XXXXXXX" target="_parent">Register</a> to view this area.
{/if}
</td>


Now, see the parts in red? You'll have to fill them in yourself. Because the $[login_link] and $[register_link] variables aren't available in the Board List template, they won't work. To find the number you need to apply here, just hover over the login/out/register link on your forum, and the URL it sends you to (usually appears somewhere in browser, if not, copy the link and paste it somewhere you can look at it) is the one you want.

That there should do what you want. =]

This is the betazone I have it in place:

Odd, because it works over on my test forum, even when using your entire template. I assume that's still up at the link you gave?

[aRMY83]

It's still up and won't remove it until we figure out what's going on.

[pawl]

Honestly not sure what to suggest - even using your copied template I can get it to work at pawltemp.freemessageboards.com
Heading off to work shortly, but I'll come back tonight to take a look.

[aRMY83]

Sorry Paul as I had the wrong theme as default. Take a look now, as it is working just fine.

Thanks a bunch...

EDIT: oPPPS! Just noticed that it is indicated in all boards and several boards I have open to guests.

[pawl]

Ahh, glad you worked that one out. =]

Is that not what the original code did? Not sure how I'd make it work around that, but like I said, I'll take a look later. =]

[aRMY83]

The orginal code only showed for boards that were not viewable by guests.

Hello Paul...

Any update on the progress of getting this to work?

[pawl]

I've yet to find a way to check if a user can access a board, so no progress yet. Might be better suited to a plugin if you want it to check automatically. You could do it with a HUGE number of if/else statements, but that would require manual updates as boards are added/changed, which obviously isn't ideal.
