Homepage welcome message

Hello. I have all my permissions set to members only but I want to have a message on the homepage/log in page to encourage people to register. How can I do this? your help will be much appreciated.

Go to admin panel=>General=>Homepage=>Configuration Scroll down the page and look for "Homepage message" option and you can add your message in the "Message content" box.

thanks. I've done that but it only shows when you have logged on. I want a message to will show on the log in to encourage people to register. Perhaps it can't be done.

Why not make a flash banner such as ive done and put it in the portal header.

thank you decibel....sounds a bit too technical for me!! I take it that there is no other way of doing this?

You can make a custom block in the portal and ask members to register.

Not really..Go here and generate a logo..copy code supplied after clicking "generate". Then go to your admin panel and click the modules tab. in the Portal & calendar block, click "Portal Structure". From there scroll down a bit to where it says "create custom block" and click that. Now where it says "name of the block" put a name. ie Flash Banner. Ok now, seeing as its flash you probably dont want it in a block(It does look better in the header not being a block)..so you want to click no where it says "use a table type". You can just leave the block title blank as your not using one. Now paste your code in the html box provided, and underneath, click "Save". You should now see this "Portal configuration successfully updated". Now click this "Click here to return to the modules management." Scroll down to this block "Addition/deletion of personal modules". You should see 2 dropdown menus..In the "Modules" dropdown you should see the name of your block, in this instance "Flash banner"..click it. The "Location" dropdown is where you want your module to show, in this case header. Click on "Add the Module", and your done.

thanks for taking so much of your time decibel & luky...I'll have a go and see what happens.
