Any standard popup code will work, simply search google for "Javascript Popup" or something along those lines. And if you want it to appear only for unresgistered, you will need use a conditional as follows:

<if condition="$show['guest']">
popup code
</if>

And if you want it to open up automatically you will need to add the javascript function to the body "onload". You can google this as well to know how to do it.

i think that won't be a nice thing to do so just to register on the website.. !! POPUP's are always irritating for anybody ..

and there is no choise for them to not register.

but they still have a choice to leave !!

hey geevest , why not spend some time in creating a beautiful welcome header instead of thinking ways to forcefully get them registered. This would instead reduce your registration rates. People register only if they want to, and if they find it worth registering.. for this all you need is REAL CONTENT. ;)

im already made a beautiful words.to make them to register.but if u know.indonesian people mostly they just want to see the content,they where so lazy to type to do a register.i already do manythings to make them want to register but until now the result is still same.
maybe i have to use another facility like livepal (human speaking) but it was an animation.
but it was very expensive price for people like me who is started from the begining.
thank you very much.

What template(s) are you modifying to add the onload attribute to the body tag?

Forumhome / header page.

The FORUM HOME would certainly be the right place to find the body tag for the main forum page. Deeper into the site, of course, you'd modify the body tag from a different template, like FORUMDISPLAY or SHOWTHREAD, for example.

You've got a reference to a .js file in your header template. I might have put it in my headinclude template, but it should work in the header template, just so long as it's in place before the body tag. However:

in this code:
<script src=http://www.namedomain.com/forum/popup/awesomepopup.js"></script>
you are calling an external javascript file, namely awesomepopup.js in your forum/popup folder. This file has to be uploaded to that folder. (maybe you're way ahead of me on this) It should contain the javascript function specification for the "checkCount" function, which you call with a parameter of 3 in your body tag onload attribute (this is an event). Of course "namedomain.com" is your web site address.

Have you uploaded that file? Should be on the site where you got the code.
