hiding a shoutbox from guests

[horsehandler]

I've put this code for a shoutbox in my global header because I can't figure out how to get sound on the PB one and I reckon sound is a must have.

</script>

<!-- Begin ShoutMix - http://www.shoutmix.com --><iframe title="xxxxxxxxxx" src="http://www2.shoutmix.com/?xxxxxxxx" width="100%" height="320" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto"><a href="http://www2.shoutmix.com/?xxxxxxxxx">View shoutbox</a></iframe><!-- End ShoutMix -->

<style type="text/css">
<!--
.smTop, .smMiddle { display: none; }
-->
</style>

Is there a way to either hide it from guests completely or at least not have it showing on the landing page please? Some of the boards are open for guests to read, others aren't.

Greetings,

There is a plugin in the Plugin Database that adds sound to the PB shoutbox

Thank you RedsSetBat - if you read the thread connected to the plugin you'll maybe see why I can't figure it out!! I'm thick and I need simple - having to find sound files, convert them to different types, find somewhere to store them etc isn't simple which is why I'm happy to pay the small charge involved to have shoutmix do it for me without all the hassle.

I highly recommend the built-in shoutbox since it integrates well, and people here on support would probably be happy to help you get the sound files right, but if you want to use the other shoutbox, you can put it in your forum's templates with these tags around it:

{if $[current_user.is_member]}
<!-- Shoutbox Here -->
{/if}

If you can link to your forum and tell me where you want the shoutbox, I can tell you where in the template to put it.

Would like it where it is now directly under the nav. tree RedsSetBat. It's at horsehandler.proboards.com/

In that case, you want to go Admin > Structure > Layout Templates > Forum Wrapper and find this (line 51 by default):

<div id="navigation-tree">
$[navigation.tree]
</div>

Then you want to take the full code from before, and add it below this part:

<div id="navigation-tree">
$[navigation.tree]
</div>

{if $[current_user.is_member]}
<!-- Begin ShoutMix - http://www.shoutmix.com --><iframe title="xxxxxxxxxx" src="http://www2.shoutmix.com/?xxxxxxxx" width="100%" height="320" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto"><a href="http://www2.shoutmix.com/?xxxxxxxxx">View shoutbox</a></iframe><!-- End ShoutMix -->

<style type="text/css">
<!--
.smTop, .smMiddle { display: none; }
-->
</style>
{/if}

That works brilliantly - thank you!

Glad to hear it
