    Ahoy! 

    A read here there is a way to put widgets in 'homepage message' and I really would like to try it - if It's possible - with the 'login' or/and 'recent topics' widget. Could somebody explain me how it works, please?  ouou

    The login feature is already available in your Admin Panel at Display > Homepage > Generalities > Quick login display.

    The Recent topics one, however isn't. So you want the recent topics to be in the homepage message? Or scrolling like Announcements from left to right?

    Ace_1! *-*

    Yeah, I know It's available but if I put the login widget in homepage message then the user profil pic will appear when a member log in. I would like to code something like a "menubar" there and the login pic is a part of the appereance.  Widgets in homepage message 263a 

    And yes! I just want to put the recent topics in the homepage message. I don't need them to scroll from one to the other side.  Widgets in homepage message 1f601

    Uh Idk what you mean but there was a tutorial for a user's information in the homepage message.

    https://help.forumotion.com/t141657-new-log-in-navigation-bar#964678

    And if you want the recent topics to go there I think adding this
    Code:
    <div id="newsareal1" class="newsareal"> </div>
    at the bottom or top should place them within the homepage message. Then all you would have to do is go to Modules > HTML & Javascript > Javascript codes management > Create new Javascript with the following code:

    Code:
    $(document).ready(function(){
      $("#newsareal1").load("div.topictitle:lt(5)");
    });

    Place it in the homepage.

    Thank you for the tutorial, Ace 1 but I already have a conception. I meant the menubar to explain why I need to put the login widget there. Anyway sorry for the confusion!  Widgets in homepage message 1f60a 

    Okay, I placed the java in the homepage and I put the other code in the homepage message. Nothing happened. What am I doing wrong?  Widgets in homepage message 1f62b

    UPDATE: I also tried the log menu code but all I get is a large empty space in my homepage message.  Widgets in homepage message 1f628

    Hm.. I might have to try a whole new approach. I have two more questions.

    1. Did you look at this post in that tutorial? https://help.forumotion.com/t141657-new-log-in-navigation-bar#964856

    2. Exactly how many widgets do you want in the homepage message?

    Oh, yes. I copied and pasted the code, switched the source code mode on and off but nothing happened. After that I created a HTML page and put there the code. I used <iframe> tag to put it in homepage message and the big empty space appeared. 

    Just two. The login and recent topics widget. But I really would like to know how I can use them together and one by one.  Widgets in homepage message 1f60a
