am I posting in the right place

[darakhshan]

sorry guys if I am in the wrong forum but consider it a support + chit chat

I want to put this code

Code Select Expand

if($user_info['is_guest'])
{
//Show popup code here
}


in my index.template.php

but do not know where to put it
any body can give me an Idea

[Thurnok]

Can I ask what you are trying to accomplish?  And why do you want to put it into the index.template.php file?  Since you do not really show the popup code, and there does not appear to be any termination of following code (at least not self evident), why not put into one of your "guest visible" php blocks?

[darakhshan]

Thank for the reply. I wanted to put it in a block just for guests to see
but I faced one problem I as admin can see this floating banner too
I made a block and set the permission so that only guests of my board get a big floating banner asking them to register . every thing is fine but I as admin get this annoying floating thing too
any Idea?

[Thurnok]

Sure.. its very simple... make sure your block is set to not show a frame or title, and make it non-shrinkable.

Put this code in the block:

Code Select Expand



// needed globals
global $context;

if ($context['user']['is_guest']){
     // all your code in here
}


[darakhshan]

I as admin can still see it.

I chose the permission for guests only but still it pops for admin

As admin you will always see every thing, you cant turn the blocks off for admins, you can only shrink them down, but they will always be visible to you as Admin

[darakhshan]

thank you for your support.

sorry what do you mean?

this is my setting:

Do not use title/frame  ( is checked)
Do not allow block to collapse ( is checked)

now my problem is that I have made a big floating banner which is shown to guests but it gets into my way too even when I am loged in.

[G6Cad]

Just what i said, As administrator, you will always see every thing, you cant turn off blocks, articles like you can to other membergroups. They will always show for you no matter the settings you have or do

[darakhshan]

ok thanks. it is understandable .

any mayhow do you show a pop up or a floating banner to guests?
what would you do if you were me?

make a block for guest (phpbox)

put this code in:

Code Select Expand


if (in_array('1',$GLOBALS['user_info']['groups']))
{
  echo '';
}
else
{
  echo 'banner code';
}

put your banner code in ^^
and make box no title no frame, and you will not see it

it works
