Quick Registration Pop-up Window for Unregistered Visitors
 

Basically, this simplifies the registration page into entering just your password, user-name, and e-mail address. What it does is create a pop-up window with the quick-registration and pops up if the visitor viewing your forums is not recognized to have an account.

If you don't want it in a pop-up window, simply, when you open the *.txt file attached to this post, copy the HTML code I give you for the pop-up window, rip out the code starting with <form> and ending with </form>, then place it somewhere in the unreg template.

You can see an example of the popup here: http://caz.psyker.net/
I don't mind if you test the register out by creating a new account, but I do ask that you don't flood my board with useless and blank ones...I don't enforce e-mail protection on my board, so please don't abuse this.

g-force2k2 has already done a similar hack here

This isn't a hack...hence the "Template Modification" forum. Aside from that, this is very easy to "install," and doesn't require unnecessary altering of PHP files.

I have a feeling he edited PHP files just so he could place it in the "Full Hacks" forum...

Plus, I setup a pop-up window to target unregistered (as well as logged-out) users.

I must say this is a very cool template modification :)

I myself wont install it as a i hate pop-ups of any nature but i'm sure that a lot of people will find this useful.

Thanks for sharing it :)

Btw can i make a suggestion about your forums... You have the top buttons saved in the *.png file extension. May i suggest you change them to gif's because gif's are of a smaller size and take less time to load :)

Thanks for the suggestion...but, while I think it's clear an 8-bit gif is a smaller size than a 24-bit png, I'd also like to inform you that an 8-bit png is smaller than an 8-bit gif :)
But, if they were loading slow for you, I suppose I could simply convert them to 8-bit. That'd half the loading time. :)

OK man,calm down.
Just merely pointing out that someone else has done a similar hack,whether it be PHP or template. ;)

Hmm...I was calm...just simply clarifying and responding to you. Maybe you took what I said the wrong way. Sorry

No probs,sorry for the confusion. ;)

cool MOD, i think i might install it and give it a try for a few days, becuase i hate popups aswell :(

Installed it and it works great! If anyone wants to check it out - http://www.veggieboards.com
