Yes, but that welcome message only appear on the user dashboard page if system detected this user login on the site at the first time.

Thanks Alex...
What if I want to add a <div> and an <img> to it.... and change the CSS rule applied...
which file controls the formatting of that message?

You can modify this file JoomlaFolder/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/info/welcome.php .

Thanks... what would you recommend for me to preview the message without creating new accounts all the times?

Another question... can I use HTML in these messages?

Unfortunately that is not possible to insert HTML content into that setting field.

I would suggest that modify this file JoomlaFolder/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/info/welcome.php so you can insert those HTML code as what you want to show then override this welcome.php file into your current template location JoomlaFolder/templates/YourCurrentTemplate/html/com_easysocial/info/welcome.php .

Remove this button code from that file. https://take.ms/hWdCB so for those new user who register on your site, this welcome message always show up.

I removed the button, but the message does not show anywhere...

<a href="javascript:void(0);" class="btn btn-es-default-o btn-sm" data-welcome-btn><?php echo JText::_('COM_EASYSOCIAL_GENERAL_SETTINGS_BUTTON'); ?></a>

I want to find a way to preview the changes I am making to the Welcome Message without necessarily creating a new account.

Hey there,

I want to find a way to preview the changes I am making to the Welcome Message without necessarily creating a new account.

The welcome message will show to the new users only. Once the users click the hide button, it will never show back already.

Since you always want to show the welcome message, you need to modify the core file.

Go to JoomlaFolder/administrator/components/com_easysocial/includes/easysocial.php and remove the following PHP code https://take.ms/ScGsg:

if ($my->showWelcomeMessage()) {



}

Take note that you need to repeat the step after you update it to the next version.

The button needs to remain removed if you don't want them to hide it.

Can you have a try and see how it goes?

Thanks... .that shows the message, but I don't think I am editing the right file:

/public_html/templates/g5_helium/html/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/info/welcome.php

I added an <h3> with the message from the CEO, but it does not display.

You have to put that file into this file location. JoomlaFolder/templates/g5_helium/html/com_easysocial/info/welcome.php .

Cool! It worked like magic!
