This is the error I get. Nothing more comes up. I turn that part off, it works fine.

great mod. i've been actually searching for this mod and i have finally found it :) cheers

Is there a way to make the take over message stand out more? Maybe the take over message can be set with a different color, thick border, flashing border, etc.?

You can make it stand out tons more... if you edit the error page. :D

My suggestion is to work on the phrase that shows up and give that colors, images and flare as you see fit.

Awesome mod thanks, installed. :)

I didn't know you could give it color and such as I thought phrase was only simple text. Thanks!

Nope, HTML will work just fine in phrases!

Hey Take-Over Message couldnt show ... becouse my cookie name is bbuserlgv and not userlgv show i changed it ...

I hope this help some people outhere !


Waiting for some feedback :)

Hey Ted,

Is there any way that this mod could tie into the "who's online" page which shows what everyone is doing? I currently list my guests on this page as well, but I have no way of telling which users are viewing the forced registration message. It just shows them viewing the thread.

Thanks

Probably possible. I'll look at the code next week.

Perfect! I really appreciate it.

I'll be standing by and awaiting your response.

Im viewing this in the product brief:

The message above notates 3.6 & 3.7....So this one is 3.8....any compatibility issues?

Also interested in hearing about that last question tying into "who's online"

Thanks:D

compatibility, no. The issue listed is collision in which someone could have two messages showing (i.e. a notice and an lgv message) but that's a setting item, not something that will stop anything from running.

I am a little confused by this part:

Threads or posts? Which is it. Allowing them to view 3 threads is a lot different than allowing them to view 3 posts.

:(


edit:
I set it to 2 to test it and I cannot make it work. I have edit the navbar.

Is it because it knows MY cookie as the admin? I am logged out and viewing on a different browser


Does having a "notice" on doing anything to impact this?

block page and the other page (take over) messages haven't appeared yet :(

i edited navbar. uploaded cron file and imported the xml.

what's the problem? any idea?

It's individual pages. So threads if they are viewing an entire thread or posts if they view one post.

Yes it is. This is a modification to impact guests, if you are logged in or cookied as an admin or even a member it won't impact anything. Log out completely to see the mod in action.

Are you viewing as a guest?

If so please check that the cookie lgv is getting set and increasing as you view more threads.

thanks a lot

Hey Ted,

Any updates on this?

The issue is that the block page is just an error message. The option would be to either hard code some changes in or redirect to a "new" error page which could be custom tracked but which adds to the amount of files and templates on your site.

I have been looking at this mod for a while now. I was wondering how many of the new members gained by this mod are actually active in the forums? Have you notice an increase of inactive uses in proportion to new users?

very nice
thanx

Is this the hack that doesn't work well with welcome headers, or was it the old version of welcome headers that had problems with this?

I'm using the 3.8 version (notices) of welcome headers...

Every version of this modification has worked with Welcome Headers since it was first released.

OK thanks, I must have misunderstood the instructions where it says:

As a general rule, anyone not using the limited guest viewing system and not planning to do advanced changes is likely best of migrating to the notices system and to this version of the addon.

As it says you are best off not using this version and limited guest viewing however you certainly can. The issue is that notices are global and may appear on a page where you have limited guest viewing messages as well. This doesn't break anything -- it's just less ideal for your users.

Using the older version of this addon the two do not run at the same time.

Thank you Ted...works like a charm!

When we try to use this it causes our forum database to crash.

I keep getting database errors that seem to suggest a missing table. I'm not sure if I'm reading it right, but here is what it says:


I tried reinstalling but same problems happened. When we remove the hack the forum starts to work again.

How should we troubleshoot this? :confused:

Remove the addon. Manually create the table found in the xml file. Reinstall.

Installed and testing!! thank you for your work!!

Installed. Working :D

Does this work on VB4 yet?

This is a vb 3.8 thread. :confused:

Understood Ted, but being that this is such a great mod, any chance of this mod being updated for vB 4.0 when the time comes?

of course.

Most Excellent Ted, Most Excellent Indeed. Thank you for the prompt response.

Installed and testing.

Thanks for this great mod.
