Hide Saybox From Guests (PB Users)

[Martyn Dale (PB Support)]

In order to hide your saybox from guests on your proboard, add the following code to the top of your headers

<script>
if (pb_username == 'Guest') {
document.write('<style>#shoutbox {display: none;}</style>');
}
</script>

Add your usual saybox code as follows:
<div id="shoutbox"> SAYBOX CODE </div>

No, because Conforums (and Suddenlaunch) uses PBv2.

For Suddenlaunch and Conforums make the 1st code as follows:
<script>
var username = 0;
getUser= document.getElementsByTagName('A');
for (a=0;a<getUser.length;a++){
if (getUser[a].href.indexOf('action=profile&username=') != -1){
username = getUser[a].href;
}}
if (username==0)
document.write('<style>#shoutbox {display: none;}</style>');
</script>

For Hyperboards make the 1st code:

<script>
var username = 0;
getUser= document.getElementsByTagName('A');
for (a=0;a<getUser.length;a++){
if (getUser[a].href.indexOf('action=logout') != -1){
username = getUser[a].href;
}}
if (username==0)
document.write('<style>#shoutbox {display: none;}</style>');
</script>

do you put this code to hide users from seeing in the global or main header?
Because I put it in my global header and it doesnt prevent non members from viewing.

Add your usual saybox code as follows:
<div id="shoutbox"> SAYBOX CODE </div>

do I put this in my headers too or footers? Global or Main headers?

[Fredy]

depends where u put ur saybox. if you put ur saybox in global, put the code in global headers. if its in main, put it in main headers.

[rbailey]

I have it in global but the saybox still shows up to non members.

Do I also add the other code below?
<div id="shoutbox"> SAYBOX CODE </div>

[Fredy]

yes
thats y he said 2 lol

[rbailey]

well, where does one put the "usual saybox" code at ? headers/footers, right below the code? I'm putting the code in the global headers.
I tried all of them and I get showing "SAYBOX CODE" appearing on the forum.
AUGH!

[Fredy]

omg your doing it wrong then :\

let me refrase the code for you:

<script>
var username = 0;
getUser= document.getElementsByTagName('A');
for (a=0;a<getUser.length;a++){
if (getUser.href.indexOf('action=viewprofile') != -1){
username = getUser.href;
}}
if (username==0)
document.write('<style>#shoutbox {display: none;}</style>');
</script>
<div id="shoutbox"><script type="text/javascript"
src="http://saybox2.co.uk/output.php?user=USERNAME"></script></div>

put your saybox username where it says username
