Hide chat box from guests (18th Apr 10 at 5:51pm UTC) Resolved
I tried with the code I know from another forum <span id="hidden_content" style="display: none;">Code for Chat Box here</span> But then it dissapears all together even when I'm logged in. Is there another code that can be used on vforums? Or am I doing something wrong.

That is rather simple: Global (If you want it to show on every page) or Main (if you only want it to show on the main page) Header: Code: Select All <script type="text/javascript"> if(vf_username != "guest"){ get('chatbox','id').style.display = ''; } </script> <script type="text/javascript"> if(vf_username != "guest"){ get('chatbox','id').style.display = ''; } </script> Put this in the header/footer where ever you want it to appear: Code: Select All <div id="chatbox" style="display:none"> Chat Box Code here </div> <div id="chatbox" style="display:none"> Chat Box Code here </div> Just got to edit where it says Chat Box Code here with the code for your chat box. This will go a check to make sure the user is actually logged in. There is NO restriction based on the type of chatbox it is outside of their own ToS Edit: Make sure you place the first part at the very bottom of your footer.

Thats interesting because I've bene using it in - http://www.divineshadowsonline.com/private/forum/regmodv1.js which has a coding base off of the "Extra Registration Page" code, for page creation, that you wrote And the code works great I just mimicked the system and added the login check but I could of missed something, just going off of what i've seen and done in the past my js sucks, i'll stick to PHP and .NET languages XD
