Many thanks to my brother: Clear (Darkness95) that allowed me to convert his plugin and using his style. Please if there are errors in the phrases let me know.
To the coders: This mod use javascript and css but i don't want to write them in other files because i like that the mod is easy to install so you have not to upload files, the image too are situated in online server so you don't have to download and re-upload in your server. That's all

[yahooooh]

could you add ability for guest to close it then it will not show untill next explorer restart or new session

[RonH.]

Working as described. Thanks.

[RonH.]

could you add ability for guest to close it then it will not show untill next explorer restart or new session
That was about the second thing I thought of too. After some thought I concluded it best to leave it the way it is, IMO. The point is to get the guest to sign up and become a member. This might help them to sign up if for no other reason than to get rid of the warning box. That's my https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

Yes i think so too, but some users do not register to the site : close the page. so the next feature is that you can choose by the pca if the box is closable

[Scanu]

could you add ability for guest to close it then it will not show untill next explorer restart or new session

Since now i can put a button for hide the warn but if you reload the warn re-appears

[doctorsexy]

Not working for me..nothing showing up...... 4.1.5

[Scanu]

Check if the product is on (Settings-> Guest Warn)

[misericorde]

Thank you

Very nice !!! Version 4.1.5 It's ok

Installed and Nominated

[Scanu]

you're welcome :)

[Erica1977]

Thank You this Works On 4.1.5 Very Nice Mod!:)

[Scanu]

If you have suggestion or critics please let me know :)

[CharlieDelta]

Very nice idea.
Feature request: For "Users Awaiting Email Confirmation" usergroup?

I have a number of members who register but fail to confirm their email.

[Skyrider]

Indeed, would be nice to be able to close the warning.

[Scanu]

Very nice idea.
Feature request: For "Users Awaiting Email Confirmation" usergroup?

I have a number of members who register but fail to confirm their email.

Great idea! Yeah something like "Hei username it seems that your account is inactive please check your mail and click on the link to activate your account. If you have not activaction email please click here for send a new one."
something like this i'm italian and i think there are many errors.. I will do it, it don't seems hard just in another mod :)

[Scanu]

Indeed, would be nice to be able to close the warning.

This feature is already done! I will release the new product with this feature as soon as possible!

[last24tech.com]

Thanks
I thought this is included in version 4, am i correct?

[Scanu]

Yeah there's something like that but it's not the same of this mod.
them are 2 completely different things

[Mooff]

no offense, but why should one use this addon when a behaviour like this can be easily achieved with the build in vb4 notifications system, which has a lot of options, like usergroups, permanent notice, allow users to close the notice .. ?

basecially all you need to do is add a notice with such a code:
<div style="position:fixed; background: rgba(00,00,00,0.7);top 100px; left: 50px;"> some text you want to show</div>

[Scanu]

no offense sure but what do you mean: "vb4 notifications system"?


<div style="position:fixed; background: rgba(00,00,00,0.7);top 100px; left: 50px;"> some text you want to show</div>


This is a simple div with style tag.. What do you mean? :)

[Mooff]

In the vb4 admin control panel you have a "Notices" option on the left. There you can add as many notices as you wish, with a lot of options. Since you have full html capacities there and in addition:

Notice HTMLThis is the HTML that will be shown to visitors when the conditions set below are met.

You may include the following special variables in the HTML:
{userid}, {username}, {musername}, {sessionurl}, {sessionurl_q}

so a simple div with style tag can be used to achieve the same behaviour like your addon?

[Scanu]

Really i think that this mod is simpler because you don't need to know html code and with this mod you can customize the warn without CSS knowedge (right now there's no many options but will be added). The close button is already done i will test it later :)

[Scanu]

Added a button to close the warn!!

[misericorde]

Thank you Tecnowii

Uptaded ok

Very good work

[Scanu]

you're welcome :)

[cykelmyggen]

Nice mod working fine in 4.1.4.
Suggestion: as I'm using the CMS as frontpage it would be nice if warning showed up there as well.

[Scanu]

Mmh warning should be already showed up in the cms

[XiTCLUB]

Thanks...

[Scanu]

You're welcome :)

[duketxboy]

Wow this is a sweet mod that makes your page look more professional.... INSTALLED!

[Scanu]

[Erica1977]

Cool Thanks for the Update!:)

[VBUsers]

i installed it but nothing showing up.

[Scanu]

Can you link your forum? Check if the product is on (pca -> Settings -> Guest Warn)

[baerwurz]

Very nice.

For me only working at forum too: http://www.soccer-fans.de/forum/

Not in CMS?

How can i change the hover title when i go with the mouse over the X to close the box? (Close this warn)

[Scanu]

Sorry i didn't make the phrase right now the only way is go in the xml file search for
Close this warn
and replace with your phrase ;) then re-upload the xml making sure that overwriting is set to yes :) in the next version i will add a phrase

[Scanu]

Regarding the CMS unfortunally there's no way in this version :( In the next version warning will be in all pages, sorry i forgot because in my forum i don't use the cms but now that i know this issue i will be fix :)

[baerwurz]

Sorry i didn't make the phrase right now the only way is go in the xml file search for

and replace with your phrase ;) then re-upload the xml making sure that overwriting is set to yes :) in the next version i will add a phrase

Very nice.

I am using this warn in the middle of my forum. It would be nice, to not show the box on the register Page.

Is there a possibility to do this, maybe with an if-condition?

[TEMPESTADE]

Thank you Uptaded Very Nice !!!

[Scalemotorcars]

Great mod but I found a ver validation issues.

1st the 2 places in the plugin that call for <script? should include the script type. For example.

<script type"text/javascript"> That was an easy one to fix. Just changed the 2 tags.

But Im stuck on this one.

<msg.length; i++)

Heres the errors from this this line.
Line 15, Column 94: character ";" not allowed in attribute specification list
…yTagName("div");for (i=0; i<msg.length; i++) {if(msg[i].className == msgClass)…

Line 15, Column 94: element "msg.length" undefined
…yTagName("div");for (i=0; i<msg.length; i++) {if(msg[i].className == msgClass)…
✉
You have used the element named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not define an element of that name. This error is often caused by:

incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Frameset" document type to get the "<frameset>" element),
by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "<spacer>" or "<marquee>" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).
by using upper-case tags in XHTML (in XHTML attributes and elements must be all lower-case).


Line 16, Column 54: end tag for "msg.length" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified
…unction(){loadMsg('msgbox'); }</script> <style>div.guestwarn {background:black…
✉
You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" an element, that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".


Line 15, Column 83: start tag was here
…etElementsByTagName("div");for (i=0; i<msg.length; i++) {if(msg[i].className =…


Line 16, Column 62: required attribute "type" not specified
…){loadMsg('msgbox'); }</script> <style>div.guestwarn {background:black;color:w…
✉
The attribute given above is required for an element that you've used, but you have omitted it. For instance, in most HTML and XHTML document types the "type" attribute is required on the "script" element and the "alt" attribute is required for the "img" element.

Typical values for type are type="text/css" for <style> and type="text/javascript" for <script>.

Line 19, Column 198: document type does not allow element "div" here; assuming missing "object" start-tag
… class="msgbox" style="display: none;"><div class="guestwarn"><a href="#" clas…



Looks like allot I know but Ill bet its mostly the same issue.

Any ideals

[Scanu]

I'm not (and i will not) a keen of w3 validation most of the errors are for minimal code issues like
img> instead of img /> or errors like type attribute; this codes are setted by default in all the browsers so when i code i'm not careful with these problems as i said i'm not a keen of w3 validator i will not do a product that is perfect so if you are looking for w3 validation search away, regarding the <msg.length; i++) issue i will check for this in the next version. thanks bor for let me know about this :)

[Scalemotorcars]

No problem. Most if it is just filling in a few things like script type. I would love to see the fix for <msg.length; i++) That one I havent been able to debug.

[dallibose]

works great with 4.0.3

thanks!!

[FIM]

nice ty

[Scanu]

Updated! now the warn doesn't show up when you are in the register page

[baerwurz]

Very nice, will test tomorrow.

Thank you!

[Successfulsteps]

Very nice mod! Installed and working as described!

[Kraxell]

Hello,

is it possible to switch the warning to the left side?

[Scanu]

Yes you have to change the CSS position in "Guest Warn CSS Settings" in your acp

[Kraxell]

which option i must edit to which number?

[Scanu]

sorry i'm wrong go in the product and search for "right" replace with "left" then re-upload the product and then leave the number as the default

[Kraxell]

Only issue for me: As soon as u logg in, you automaticly get redirected to the "Thanks for logging - Screen", where you get redirected to the forum home.

The box shouldn't appear on that screen imo.

This mod works great but eventhough the user closes it appears for every page that the guest goes to , so the guest may not like this ... Is there any option to make it appear only once in his session ?

Yes, go in ACP and go in settings of the mod and choose no to the question "The warn will be reappears if the user reload the page?"

[snowlion]

thecore762 's site. He's using this mod too ^_^
http://www.47r-squad.com/

[Scanu]

snowlion actually you have the mod activated and the title of the page is "The 47 Ronin" not "www.47r-squad.com/" so i don't see any problem if you have this issue in other sites i don't think that is my mod :)

[snowlion]

You should use IE to see mod action, I use IE9 and the title doesn't show. :D
BTW, my site here (http://www.bentinhyeu.info/forum/index.php)you can also look here HMBeaty's site (http://www.usmilitarylife.com/forum.php) and strudinox's site (http://www.gnd-tech.com/), they're using this mod too :D

Would you mind posting a couple screenshots? (before/after) Obviously I'm missing something as I don't see what you're talking about :confused: (And I completely recoded mine :p)

EDIT: Nevermind, I see what you're talking about now. And yes, it is related to this mod @Tecnowii

Unless I missed somthing, this is for vB 4, not for vB 3.8 :)

That is a "general support" image (originally posted by TheLastSuperman, I believe)..... basically saying you won't get much support (if any at all) if you don't post the following information. Nowhere does this modification say it's compatible with 3.8.x

[MyPeSePe]

Could be made to move along with the forum?

[HMBeaty]

Could be made to move along with the forum?
It already does, try a different browser :)

[Scanu]

As said HMBeaty in many post :) snowlion leave the mod on and i will check the code in a few hours

[Scanu]

snowlion the code include
<title>title of your forum</title>
and in many broters there isn't this problem just internet explorer has this issue so i can't help you :( I can just suggest to change your browser to Google Chrome or Firefox :)

Yes, it's just a little problem with Internet Explorer, so I'll leave it as it is :D

[Scanu]

Maybe in the next version i will fix this problem even if actually i don't see any problem o.o

I think its safe to assume most users of this mod will be changing that to their own liking, in acp, anyway. No?

Obviously, so what? Better leave there a default incomprehensible message?
My effort, even to' I'm an ass, was to help him improve is product, and I don't see why he should not do this.

[Scanu]

Yes i know probably there are many errors, but i will be happy if someone can help me because my knowledge is not good enough to realize a good english actually i'm 14 years old and i studied basic english.

[Scyther]

Marked installed...nice mod..

[karel1985]

Installed,

Suggestion, if you want to use your own close button (like i did), you should mentions that it should fit the px size of 22x22, if its smaller, its not displayed nicely.

example working on my site: www.pc-helpforum.be

[Scanu]

thanks for notice that :)

[haincha]

Thank you! I really like how professional this looks. Is it at all possible to make forum descriptions similar to how that looks how Xenforo implemented it on mouse over? Not sure how close in relation it could be.

[Scanu]

Give me some time for thinking about that

[Scalemotorcars]

Can someone tell me what the chages are in the updated file?

Thanks for the idea. I'm working on this, i'm missing the css code but i have nearly finished :)

[Sworm]

Yes working great thanks... the only problem that i have is the bold text on the welcome vbulletin message and the bold text in the notices here some screen:

With the hack disabled:

With the hack enabled:

I have a custom style.... there's a solution?I'm on 4.1.8. Thanks in advance.

[Scanu]

Please can you link your forum (with Guest Warn on), i will check the source code for the problem

[thecore762]

Scanu, have you considered some type of JQuery effect? It would be really nice!

[Scanu]

Yes in the 2.9v will be added a fadeout effect but i was having some problems, at xmas holiday i'll work again for this :)

[galerio]

Another suggestion: even if it's for guest, as title says, you can add an option to show the message to a specific usergroup or, better, to show different messages to different usergoups

[Scanu]

see my other mod WUAEC (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/search.php?searchid=19026131) , that's the same as Guest Warn but has an option to change the id.

[thecore762]

Are we close to 2.9?

[Scanu]

I will release it as soon as i can

[thecore762]

Thanks for updating :) looking forward to it.
BTW you are a very good dev :)

[BlueCheri]

Thanx, working fine.

[Alan_SP]

I had small problem when I used smaller image for close button (14x14px). Image wasn't enlarged, but it was repeated and it looked pretty messy. I manually sorted out this, but is there a way that we easily could use images other than 22x22px?

I use original image (images/misc/cross.png) that comes with vBulletin.

[Scanu]

Yes I could put the height and the width options of the image in pca

[Alan_SP]

This would be useful for us who want to use images with different sizes from the one you use. :)

[Scanu]

Of corse thanks for notice that, i will change the code in the next version :)

[Alan_SP]

I just noticed problem with cookies.

I set up that guests could dismiss notice and that it reappears after 1 day.

I dismissed notice 9.1 about 18:00 and now (11.1 1:35) I still don't see guest message. I'll wait for a day more, but if it don't reappear, that's a problem.

Also, could you change days to hours? It could be more practical and easier to test.

EDIT: I found where the problem is (using FireFox). At first cookies were set to expire after 20 days. I maybe (not sure, but most probably) dismissed notice with this setting still on. Later I changed it to one day.

Now I manually removed this setting from my cookies and after that it properly sets cookies to one day.

Could you set deafult settings to smallest available value (i.e. 1 day instead 20) so that those of us who want to use shorter periods could do this right away after mod's installation. Not a too big problem, but it's not too hard for you too. :)

And yes, I still would prefer if I could set it in hours.

[Paul.]

I love this.. thanks XiT Club for linking me!

Is there a webpage version of this?!

[Scanu]

For put this on your website contact me, it depends on the website

[Kraxell]

Is it possible to show this for all usergroups?

[Alan_SP]

Yes.

You could decide to which usergroups you want to show it, or simply remove checking for certain usergroup altogether.

You need to edit plugin (there's only one in this mod), or xml file, whatever you find easier.

Conditional that checks for usergroup is this:

if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 1))

You could remove it (watch your curly braces, you need to remove them too), or add additional usergroups you want to see warning.

Add it in this fashion:

if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 1,2,3,4))

Use usergroup IDs here. It may be easier for you just to add all usergroups you want to see this warning.

[Toorak Times]

Thanks for this. I just noticed that it partially merged the Facebook connect and register link on my Animated arena skin, But it works a charm, love it

Nice mod Installed working on 4.1.10

[piratarg]

Hi, I like this mod! Is possible to adapt it to 3.8.x? :(

Thanks!

[Scanu]

did you try it?

[piratarg]

did you try it?
Sorry, I missed your question. If I tried to change it? It would be impossible, I know not how.

[Scanu]

no, if you tried to install the product on vbulletin 3.8, maybe it works, i never code for vbulletin 3.8 but i think that this should work

[piratarg]

no, if you tried to install the product on vbulletin 3.8, maybe it works, i never code for vbulletin 3.8 but i think that this should work
Thanks for responding. yes, just try it but does not work. From what I see "global_bootstrap_init_complete" does not exist in 3.8.x

I tried to hook in "global_template" but neither works. :(

[Scanu]

ok thanks for notice that this will help me to do a 3.8 version :) by the way you can try toput global complete ashook just for try if this not work let me do the plugin in a few of days

[piratarg]

ok thanks for notice that this will help me to do a 3.8 version :) by the way you can try toput global complete ashook just for try if this not work let me do the plugin in a few of days
Sorry, I was wrong!. it was "global_complete". The hook: global_template not exist. :D

Very thanks Scanu and sorry my english. :)

[Scanu]

maybe global_display should work :/

[piratarg]

maybe global_display should work :/
Not, either. global_display not exist. They appear only these:

global_complete
global_setup_complete
global_shutdown
global_start


I tried it all and does not work. :confused:

[Scanu]

sorry actually i'm not able to use my mac and tommorow is my birthday so this will take more time

[fpg19]

How do I add anywhere? Not only on the main page

How do I do to make it appear for all (not only not logged)..?

[Scanu]

1 this is in all the Pages
2 you can download my other mod (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=270190) wich you can choose the Ids that you want

[Alan_SP]

Well, if you want to do this, you need to know how to remove certain if conditionals:

if (in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array('register')))
{}
else
{
if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 1)){

And add usergroups you want to see. So, you completely remove check for THIS_SCRIPT, and add all usergroups you want to see this notice, or, if you want really all to see, remove this if conditional altogether. Of course, you need to respect all curly braces (all open ones need to be closed after your editing).

[BF777]

Is there a way to set it up so that in only shows up in the forums and not the CMS?

[deverill2010]

Scanu how do I change the position of the box?

[Scanu]

Go in the css product options and change Width and Height as you want

[Scanu]

Added a demo link and updated to 2.9 now the code is clearer and shorter and now the mod uses better way to do the templates edits
- 2.9.1
- Re-written the mod
- Now there isn't chaotic code and the the code is shorter and clearer
- The mod now uses a better way to edit templates

[Scanu]

Updated to 2.9.2 now it caches templates

[nukinfuts29]

works perfect, thank you

[autoescala]

good job! works fine on 4.2

[Mr_Running]

Thanks
How do I ?
I would like it not to display on the blog page.

[Scanu]

Go in plugin manager search for Guest warn plugins and edit the "Code including" one

Replace

if ($vbulletin->options['guest_warn_active'] && $show['guest'] && !in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array('register'))) {


With this

if ($vbulletin->options['guest_warn_active'] && $show['guest'] && !in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array('register','blog'))) {

It should work, let me know! :)

[Mr_Running]

After some more thought I would like this to just be on the CMS. How?
I tried adding forum to the array but it didn't work?
Request: select pages to display

How to only have it on the CMS?

[Scanu]

Replace blog with vbcms or cms or content, one of these should work. Regarding the feature request i will try to add something like this

[Aljuve]

can U put this product in version 3.8 !?

[zakonline]

Very nice Mod :). Thanks for your contribution.

[charlesr]

All working fine apart from "check version" on the product page. I get "Version check failed. No version number was found at this location. The URL for the version check may be incorrect, or the server may be experiencing problems. Please try again later."

[Scanu]

Yes i know i wondered that it was wrong in my last mod so in next update ofall my mod i will fix this

[Syxguns]

Installed vB 4.2 PL2 works great! Thank you for the share!

Edit: I set this up so that even if you close it and then select a new link it's right back in your face. I have lots of guest, I hope this will annoy them and get them to register!

[ChiNa]

Amazing Job Scanu, I like this one a lot...
I am a bit new to vB4, Need to learn a bit more befor I can start coding,,

[Darkside2012]

how can i use it in different languages ?

standart is english but when a user changes to german so i wold like to warn in german too

[Scanu]

Search the warn message in phrases and you can traslate it in every language

[Darkside2012]

Search the warn message in phrases and you can traslate it in every language

there is now phrase. I can change it in the messagebox in settings

i thougt i could add a new phrase like guest_warn . fill in the standart text and translate it in every language what i need.

but how can i display the phrase ?

{vb:rawphrase guest_warn} or $vbphrase guest_warn doesn?t work

[Scanu]

Sorry i thought i changed option to phrase, though you can show it using this "{vb:rawphrase guest_warn}"

[Darkside2012]

Sorry i thought i changed option to phrase, though you can show it using this "{vb:rawphrase guest_warn}"

where should I change this ?

[Scanu]

Go in Styles And Templates and search for guest_warn tempate
Replace {vb:raw vboptions.guest_var_text} with {vb:rawphrase guest_warn}

[Darkside2012]

Go in Styles And Templates and search for guest_warn tempate
Replace {vb:raw vboptions.guest_var_text} with {vb:rawphrase guest_warn}

thx ... that worked now. I have found it in guestwarn_html

[qwer81]

Hello! I noticed that the content of the message for guests appears in the search results on google, under the title of the topic

Is there a way to hide it? Thank you!

[JhonDoz]

i think Google really hate such a notifications, also it will make problems for indexing and search engines too! am i right?

[Scanu]

Well I can hide the warn to spiders like google yahoo etc.. (I think it's possible) but probably if someone visit google cache or translate your site using google translate, he won't see the warn, if this is not a problem i can add this feature to the next version

[qwer81]

Ok! Thank you! I'm waiting for the next version!

[fxdigi-cash]

works well. I installed it on my website version v4.2.0 www.forexmegacashback.com

Thanks,

Does this work on 4.2.1?

Editing "Code including" in Plugin Manager does this. Replace it with the code below:

if ($vbulletin->options['guest_warn_active'] && $show['guest'] && !in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array('register'))) {

$templater = vB_Template::create('guestwarn_html'); //Create html template
$guestwarn_html = $templater->render(); //saving template on a variable

$templater = vB_Template::create('guestwarn_css'); //Create css template
$template_hook[headinclude_css] .= $templater->render(); //Including template on footer hook

$templater = vB_Template::create('guestwarn_script'); // Create javascript template
$template_hook[footer_javascript] .= $templater->render(); //including template on footinclude hook

$vbulletin->templatecache['footer'] .= ' $final_rendered .= \'' . addcslashes($guestwarn_html, "'\\") . '\'; '; //Inserting html in the footer template
}

This basically moves it to the footer which is way beyond what Google shows on the search results...

What are you trying to do? If you remove !$show['search_engine'] guest warn is shown to spiders too! Guest Warn 3 won't show the message to spiders

[S_E_A]

<a href="JavaScript:void(0);" onclick="register.php();">CLICK HERE</a> is not redirecting to registration page. Using 4.2.2 and mod version 3. Anyone else encountering the same issue?

[Scanu]

If I remember, it should be onclick="register();"
Did you change it?

[S_E_A]

Sorry, yes I changed. onclick="register();" does not redirect.

[Scanu]

I would need to check the site with the mod on if possible

[tehbasmentdwell]

Hi Scanu, just installed your mod but we have a small issue - clicking on the "click here to register" link does nothing (tried on firefox and IE), how do i fix this so it redirects to our registration page? Also, is there a way to edit the text that is displayed in the dialogue box?

Thank you.

Where in the code does it check if the user is a guest or member? I am trying to tweak it a little so that it shows up for another usergroup also.
Thanks, its a great feature.

Thanks, i will take a look, but nothing jumped out at me. I am just trying to make exactly the same thing, but for it to show to users in the registered usergroup (2), but NOT in the usergroup (10).
If you can save me scratching my head a lot, your help is appreciated.:up:

[Scanu]

Change that first condition with this

if ($vbulletin->options['guest_warn_active'] && !$show['search_engine'] && $vbulletin->userinfo[usergroupid] == 2 && $vbulletin->userinfo[usergroupid] != 10) {

It works. Thanks! :)

Glad to hear it did what you want. :)

[dany_danay]

The close button dont work for me, can you help?

[massiveblack]

how do i change the text...change what the text says?

[I.G.O.T.A.]

Liked the old version better as I could change the wording of the text.

[massiveblack]

Changing the text is important as there are some grammatical issues with the text that is there, and it is a bit wordy. I am happy to provide a better text blurb as I do marketing copy. Please let us know how we can help or if there is a way to adjust the text. Thanks.

[ozzy47]

For all of you looking to edit the message, it is the phrase, guestwarn_text

Version HistoryWhich version was it when the spam was added for the anti-spam plugin by another coder?

[ozzy47]

Looks to me like Steve added his own stuff in there and then Scanu released it. :(

[Bob_R]

The only thing I don't like is that it creates a horizontal scroll along the bottom of the screen.
