Hi everybody!

 

I am an admin for the forum at www.qcraft.org.  Simple:Press has been great so far.  We got it installed, added a few plugins, tweaked the colors etc.  Fantastic.

 

We are concerned about people posting malicious links.  We would love it if there could be a custom message displayed on the site with a “Warning!  Clicking links could be bad” style message.  The message could be permanently displayed when viewing topics, or it could be a pop-up style message which appears when the user clicks a link.

 

Any ideas on how to achieve this?  Thanks a lot!

multiple ways…

you could grab a copy of the announcements plugin and display such an announcement on your site…

you could simply output the message you want where you want in your sp theme…  a theme is just template files with template functions for displaying elements… you can add any text anywhere you want…

each forum can have a custom message display below the forum header… you could put your message in that header…
