Maybe try


<if condition="$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == '1'">


<div id="topbar">
<a href="" onClick="closebar(); return false"><img src="close.gif" border="0" /></a>
It shows that you are unregistered. Please register with us by clicking <a href="register.php">Here</a></td>
</div>


</if>


instead.

[Floris]

lol, if you black out the text on your screenshot at least make it unreadable, it's quite obvious it says dev boards and test by user oninuva :) lol

Nice hack, thanks for sharing.

[nelto]

I cant quite understand your instructions.
You sai theres a template edit... wich is the javascript on the txt file.
Then you said one file must be uploaded.... wich file?

[Tork64]

[Mastar]

I cant quite understand your instructions.

The file to upload is the "https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2006/09/6.gif" image located in the very first post.

[oninuva]

Thanks Mastar for helping out since i was away :")

Nice hack m8.

[harmor19]

Does this really increase registration?

[amnesia623]

Just a quick note: I found that when a search engine spiders the site, this is the first text it sees.

[harmor19]

I installed it. Let's see if reg. rates improve.

[Datacenter1.com]

Great idea

I can't see the close image in firefox

Also could be a great way for to show ads to non members

[Gsmmind]

but it's shows to all .. Even Admins Too.:(

[harmor19]

You need a conditional.

First off all change
<--! Improve registration Rates -->

To
<if condition="$show[guest]">
<!-- Improve registration Rates -->

And after
<!-- End Improve Registration -->

Add
</if>

[oninuva]

Yes, I forgot to add that part. And yes you can show ads to guests. Just change the message to what ever. :)

So why don't you change the text file so it has this change in it? Also, it says one file to upload, which I read is the close image, you should attach that image to the post also. One other note, if you edit the text to include the changes, you might want to fix the first part of the code from this:
<--! Improve registration Rates -->
To this so it doesn't show up on the top of the page:
<!-- Improve registration Rates -->

[thedvs]

anyone got a close.gif i can have? :)

[Snake]

Thanks for the hack! I'll install it right away... :)

[oninuva]

[Shazz]

oninuva is this true?

[junaid]

[principino1984]

i tried this but it didn't work:

#topbar{
align: right;
position: absolute;
border: 1px solid black;
padding: 5px;
background-color: black;
width: 600px;
visibility: hidden;
z-index: 400;
}

[dougeetx]

Didn't work for me at all. Even though I was already registered, it kept saying that I wasn't and that nag stayed with me. Running 3.6.0

[adwade]

The file to upload is the "http://www.gamerz-forum.com/dev/close.gif" image located in the very first post.
Yet, when clicked upon returns the following...

Not Found
The requested URL /dev/close.gif was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.36 Server at www.gamerz-forum.com Port 80

[oninuva]

oninuva is this true?

Nope. Ofcourse its not true...

[Ricsca]

[TVNettet]

I don't see this on your froum and you are using 3.54. Are you sure it works on 3.6?

[Shazz]

I don't see this on your froum and you are using 3.54. Are you sure it works on 3.6?
Yes, works on both of my 3.6 boards

[jackceltic1888]

Installed :D

[oninuva]

Yup it works on 3.6 and 3.54.

and to those who clicked install: Thanks!

[Lyricsmama]

thx installed

[heynurse]

Thanks for the mod, I really like it, I just wish there was a way to make it show up less frequently.

Is there anyway to only show this once a day, or every x pageviews etc...??

I just think that if it shows up every page, it my be annoying people and they might leave with a bad taste in their mouth??

[wengi]

change this part to whatever color you desire:

#topbar{
position:absolute;
border: 4px solid white;
padding: 5px;
background-color: black;
width: 620px;
visibility: hidden;
z-index: 400;
}

[MikeWarner]

This really works. Since installing this, registrations have almost doubled!

[TheFrienzNet]

Awesome.

[letsjoy]

thanks

[HeloHi]

Awesome, works great.

*clicks install*

[RockMTP]

Nice hack *Installed*

May be i'm just being fussy but after the user has clicked the link to register is there a way to make the bar not show any more?

Thanks

[chkdgate]

Installed this awesome little mod! Is there a way to use CSS color code instead of the actual name of the color?

Edit: Never mind, it didn't work. Maybe on the next update you can allow the ability to change the bg color and text via CSS. How can I have it appear a little lower than usual. In other words, I don't want it all the way up top, just a couple inches lower. Thanks.

[ormand]

God damn thats gotta be annoying! LOL

[chkdgate]

Has anyone tried it with 3.6.5 yet?

[blueraider]

it works with 3.6.5

[d8tabyte]

hmmm I installed this and I see nothing. I thought scripts were supposed to go in the headinclude template

**

I added

<script type="text/javascript">
var persistclose=0 //set to 0 or 1. 1 means once the bar is manually closed, it will remain closed for browser session
var startX = 30 //set x offset of bar in pixels
var startY = 5 //set y offset of bar in pixels
var verticalpos="fromtop" //enter "fromtop" or "frombottom"

function iecompattest(){
return (document.compatMode && document.compatMode!="BackCompat")? document.documentElement : document.body
}

function get_cookie(Name) {
var search = Name + "="
var returnvalue = "";
if (document.cookie.length > 0) {
offset = document.cookie.indexOf(search)
if (offset != -1) {
offset += search.length
end = document.cookie.indexOf(";", offset);
if (end == -1) end = document.cookie.length;
returnvalue=unescape(document.cookie.substring(off set, end))
}
}
return returnvalue;
}

function closebar(){
if (persistclose)
document.cookie="remainclosed=1"
document.getElementById("topbar").style.visibility="hidden"
}

function staticbar(){
barheight=document.getElementById("topbar").offsetHeight
var ns = (navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape") != -1) || window.opera;
var d = document;
function ml(id){
var el=d.getElementById(id);
if (!persistclose || persistclose && get_cookie("remainclosed")=="")
el.style.visibility="visible"
if(d.layers)el.style=el;
el.sP=function(x,y){this.style.left=x+"px";this.style.top=y+"px";};
el.x = startX;
if (verticalpos=="fromtop")
el.y = startY;
else{
el.y = ns ? pageYOffset + innerHeight : iecompattest().scrollTop + iecompattest().clientHeight;
el.y -= startY;
}
return el;
}
window.stayTopLeft=function(){
if (verticalpos=="fromtop"){
var pY = ns ? pageYOffset : iecompattest().scrollTop;
ftlObj.y += (pY + startY - ftlObj.y)/8;
}
else{
var pY = ns ? pageYOffset + innerHeight - barheight: iecompattest().scrollTop + iecompattest().clientHeight - barheight;
ftlObj.y += (pY - startY - ftlObj.y)/8;
}
ftlObj.sP(ftlObj.x, ftlObj.y);
setTimeout("stayTopLeft()", 10);
}
ftlObj = ml("topbar");
stayTopLeft();
}

if (window.addEventListener)
window.addEventListener("load", staticbar, false)
else if (window.attachEvent)
window.attachEvent("onload", staticbar)
else if (document.getElementById)
window.onload=staticbar
</script>

to headinclude and it works fine now.

[Ronak]

Like it ;)

[Jason Black]

i think it will annoy the guest because it is just there scrolling down as the scroll down and up as the scroll up.

[lighter]

[UltraFanatics]

Whats this mod like guys? does it help?

What worrys me is the search engines, does it really cock them up?

It can get annoying when it moves up and down, I don't see how it would affect the search engines

[UltraFanatics]

Great easy mod guys, many thanks!

Hopefully the engines will be ok with it :)

[oninuva]

You can always hit the x and close it.

[Lombardo]

[UltraFanatics]

Does this work with 3.7?

[UltraFanatics]

Anyone?

[Bloom21]

would anyone know how to align this to the top right instead of the top left?

appreciate any help with this one

[rwoscott]

would anyone know how to align this to the top right instead of the top left?

appreciate any help with this oneYou could try float:right; in the #topbar css styles. You may need to remove the position: absolute; to get it correct.

[viper007]

[Stromba]
