Hi, very much a newbie here. ;)
I just installed Xoops a couple of weeks ago to build a community type site so I really have no idea as to what I am doing.
I wanted to have welcome messages display for guests and registered members. The guest welcome was more than simple, just create a custom block viewable only by anonymous. The welcome for members gave me a bit more trouble. I wanted to have the welcome display their user name in the message. I also wanted just admins to see who's on-line.
I tried repeatedly to create a custom block as a welcome displaying the user name with no success. Then it dawned on me that I could modify the who's on-line template.
I surrounded the original template with an if $xoops_isadmin statement and added my welcome before the if. It works just fine!
I would like to do things in a correct manner so my question is how should I have done this? I have a hunch my solution would not be considered proper.
I can only offer my site as a demo.
