Banner does not fit in header

Craig all you need is the word Register in the link, since the url is in the href section. Btw I tested what you had and it still went straight to the registration area due to the $[register_link]. The following will send the user wanting to register to the page.

EDIT: You need to call the custom page something other than register to get it to work!

<p id="welcome">
{if !$[current_user.is_member]}
$[login_link] or <a href="/page/connect">Register</a>.
{else}
$[logout_link]
{/if}

Then at the bottom of the page, (or top if you prefer) you have the following to take the user to the actual registration page.

<p id="welcome">$[register_link]</p>

Thanks nsclerr, i forgot to edit that bit.

[Nscalerr]

Major Edit, (after some real world testing on my forum).

If you have id="welcome" it comes up as not being able to find the page for some reason, but if you don't use it, then the page shows up fine.

Works
<p>{if !$[current_user.is_member]}
$[login_link] or <a href="/page/connect">Register</a>.
{else}
$[logout_link]
{/if}

Doesn't work, as to why I have no idea.
<p id="welcome">
{if !$[current_user.is_member]}
$[login_link] or <a href="/page/connect">Register</a>.
{else}
$[logout_link]
{/if}

[Craig]

It does not do that for me. Where did you do the testing, and could you implement it not working to see.

Does this all go in forum wrapper? I've changed the page name to welcome.

kettering.freeforums.net/page/welcome

The first bit of code goes in your wrapper template and the <p id="welcome">$[register_link]</p> goes in your custom page.


******************
I had to remove the id="welcome or clicking the link would result in a page not found error. Found after some real world testing on my own forum.

Note: This may not be the case for your forum!

Testing was in my own forum and I have it set up in the default theme, click on the word Connect.

"<p id="welcome">$[register_link]</p>" in custom page just adds it to the actual page text.

I am having page not found issue too.

[ktforums]

Put <p id="welcome">
{if !$[current_user.is_member]}
$[login_link] or <a href="/page/welcome">Register</a>.
{else}
$[logout_link]
{/if} in forum wrapper and still getting page not found.

[Nscalerr]

I created my own thread for my problem Craig.

support.proboards.com/thread/652585/custom-page-when-welcome-added

ktforums for now remove the id="welcome from the code in the Forum Wrapper.

<p>{if !$[current_user.is_member]}
$[login_link] or <a href="/page/connect">Register</a>.
{else}
$[logout_link]
{/if}

It's messed up the nav bar now doing that. And still page not existing.

Seems to me it would be quicker for me to put a link to the page in my nav bar and get rid of the register bit in the wrapper altogether?

[ktforums]

Had to put the code back to it's original state as it was just getting all messed up.

[Nscalerr]

I see what you mean, btw you need to change it to <a href="/page/welcome">Register</a>.

[Nscalerr]

Also it looks like the $[register_link] does not appear to be working on your custom page and needs to be changed to the following.

<p id="welcome"><a href="https://login.proboards.com/register/3668871">Register</a></p>

kettering.freeforums.net/page/join register link works for me fine.
