Anybody who is logged in, should NOT see that palbox. How can I do this ? I've attached the palbox that would need to be modified. Thanks in advance!

<br />						if ($index_include[1]['CustomBox12'] == $x && !$xused) {<br />							if(!$user[U_Groups]){<br />								include "{$palspath}/pals/newusercustompal.php";<br />							}<br />							else{<br />								include "{$palspath}/pals/custombox12pal.php";<br />							}<br />							$xused = 1;<br />						}					<br /><br />

Find

Code

<br /><br />						if ($index_include[2]['CustomBox12'] == $x && !$xused) {<br />							include "{$palspath}/pals/custombox12pal.php";<br />							$xused = 1;<br />						}<br />

<br />						if ($index_include[3]['CustomBox12'] == $x && !$xused) {<br />							include "{$palspath}/pals/custombox12pal.php";<br />							$xused = 1;<br />						}<br />

change it to

Code

<br /><br />						if ($index_include[3]['CustomBox12'] == $x && !$xused) {<br />							if(!$user[U_Groups]){<br />								include "{$palspath}/pals/newusercustompal.php";<br />							}<br />							else{<br />								include "{$palspath}/pals/custombox12pal.php";<br />							}<br />							$xused = 1;<br />						}

make a custombox12pal.php contain what you want normal users to see..

make a newusercustompal.php contain what you want new users to see...

in control panel set placement of custombox12 to where you want it...

you can subsitute ANY custombox for custombox12 by changing the 12 to that number

now you can get funkier and use user groups but you will need to write a little script.. or pay me alot of money

I will give it a try as soon as I get home! (in 10 minutes) []make a custombox12pal.php contain what you want normal users to see.. [/] Well, the only thing I want is that customboxpal12 will only be seen by guests and when normal users enter my site, customboxpal12 will just be hidden for them.

Then I made the changes in index.php and uploaded all the stuff. I went into my control panel and activated custombox12 in my control panel (center, 1st position). I uploaded the modified index.php file and checked out my entrance page: nothing happened. (no difference if logged in or out). When I opload my old index file, custombox12pal.php shows without problem. Where could the error be? (I'm using 6.4.2, but that shouldn't matter. My index.php file is inside my threads folder)
