Users unsure how to register or missed the buttons at top left

[waynepyrah]

Hi I'm having a problem with my site http://cgi.pyrah.com/coppermine in that some users are unsure that they have to register and some are saying they missed the login/register buttons.  Is there anything really simple I can do to assist them by say making the buttons bigger, saying you aren't logged in more photos available once logged in and stuff like that ??

Cheers, Wayne

You could replace your anycontent.php with this:

Code Select Expand

<?php

if (!USER_ID){
starttable("100%", "Welcome");
echo <<< EOT
<tr>
<td class="tableb" >
To see all the pictures available, please <a href="login.php">Login</a> or <a href="register.php">Register</a>.
</td>
</tr>
EOT;

endtable();
}
?>

and then enable it by adding anytcontent/ to the start your 'contents of the main page' setting in config.

EOT;endtable(); are supposed to be on 2 lines, so

EOT;
endtable();
