Improve registration with popup window

Here's a script that makes time for X seconds display a popup window to improve users to register.
The message is shown only for guest when they view forumhome.

Go to AdminCP>Styles & Templates>Search in Templates and fint "header" template.

At the beginning, before all the code, add this code

Code:

<style type="text/css">

<!--

#sponsorAdDiv {position:absolute; height:1; width:1px; top:0; left:0;}

-->

</style>

<script type="text/javascript">

To change the time, in this example set to 20 seconds, change this

and put in its place the seconds that must remain active popup.

To change the message in the popup to change what is between

and

PS: sorry for my english :D

Original modification in Italian language available here.

Cionfs of Cionfs'Forum CMS

*Removed, thanks for correcting ;)

(I jumped the gun, sorry :D)

S-MAN

I am sorry but I past the text as I had inserted in my admincp. :)

Now it is correct with credits. :)

Thank you. :)

Edit: No problem ;)

Thank you very much, just installed. I'm checking it out. Quick tips though, change "Wellcome" to 'Welcome' and I went ahead and added rel="nofollow" in the link for good measure to prevent sending any bots to the registration page.

I also noticed that if you are using Google AdSense, the pop-up is displayed under the advertisements. To fix this, I modified

PHP Code:


		
			
#sponsorAdDiv {position:absolute; height:1; width:1px; top:0; left:0;}

PHP Code:


		
			
#sponsorAdDiv {position:absolute; height:1; width:1px; top:0; left:0; z-index: 3;}

Note, since I am already using a z-index of 2 in the navigation under my header image I chose to make it 3 so you may want to change it to 2 though leaving it as is probably shouldn't hurt.

Thank you for this tips. :)

How can we make the pop-up align to the left?

You can try to change this

Code:

<table width="445px" height="345px" bgcolor="#F0FFF0"><tr><td align="center" valign="middle">

with this

Code:

<table width="445px" height="345px" bgcolor="#F0FFF0"><tr><td align="center" valign="left">

I have not written that is W3C validated :)

Anyone else getting an error in IE6?

Quote:

Error: 'document.all.sponsorAdDiv.style' is null or not an object

Tried lowering the security level and disabling script debug errors but I still get the error and pages don't load all the way because of it. It works great on IE7, IE8, Firefox, Safari and Opera. I also think it may be that the IE6 I tried it with is at work and behind a corporate firewall. I haven't heard any complaints from IE6 members about it so I think it just may be my specific machine/firewall setup at work.

Works fine on IE6,IE7 and IE8 for me. :)

Thats great !!!

Only a simple question , how do i change the vbulletin logo to my forum logo ?
Thank you

Thank you

Right click your vbulletin logo and press view image. It will tell you your foum path and filename where the file is.

Either rename your logo to the same name as vbuletin logo and FTP it to the same location and allow overwrite.

Or upload your own image to the images folder and change the filename in admincp>styles & templayes>style manager>(your style)All style options>Image paths

it needs to validate w3c

very niiiiiiice

thank u

Not functionally in Firefox and IE7, IE8:

Of course.

Use this code

-->

</style>

<script type="text/javascript">

Change X, X, X with the usergroup ID's

Can you put a delay on the pop up say like 3 minute delay?

3 minutes are 180 seconds.

Change this

Code:

adTime=20;

whith this

Code:

adTime=180;

Sorry I think I miscommunicated. I am looking to delay the box from opening for about 3 minutes. An average browser on my site is around 10 minutes. So if I could get the box to open up around the 3 minute mark that would be awesome.

Try using another browser or another computer

nice idea one question though,can we put our own logo instead of vbulletin.is there a way? thanks

it will work on /forums.php but not index.php any ideas

in script i have it as

Quote:

forums.php and index.php? Have you installed ibproarcade?

yes i have, index is my home page and forums is my forums page

Your "forum index" is forum.php.

Index.php is "arcade index".

Try this

Code:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'arcade'">

nope no go, i will play with it, thanks for the help

heres what i mean

go here which is the main loggin page

then go here

and it works

Try to change your forum index from vbulletin options.

By default my forum logo display at popup window. I want to show here another image (which is a greeting and welcome image). There must a way to do this. Please guide me how can I do this? Thanks
