Description and Message
Hi,

I've installed Board3 and its awesome

Its a stupid question but can I add my own HTML and PHP to the Welcome Box?

Which file do I need to edit to go about this. Can it only be done purely through the ACP?

Thanks in advance.

If you want to add your own html, you could edit the welcome.html in your styles/prosilver/template/portal/block/ folder.
But you could also use BBCode, since it basically does the same as html code.

Ok thanks, expanding on this.

I've added the following line to the .htaccess file to allow PHP in HTML files in the root folder.

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm


However it doesn't seem to be working when I use the <? echo ("hello"); ?> statement in the welcome.html file.

Do I need to create a .htaccess within the template/portal/block/ to allow PHP to be used in this file.

You dont need any changes of your htaccess files. Just allow php in templates via ACP
Server Config -> Security -> allow php in Templates...
I dont know the exactly wording in english cause i use another language pack

Thanks it worked great although I had to enclose the PHP statements in the following. I thought I'd post it here to save somebody else some time.
