ABOUT THE PRODUCT

This is maybe one of the best mods I ever made so far in my opinion, and the hardest to be honest! Filling out the Password sectioning was not easy, and the html form itself.. I think is one of a kind to Install! You can get this mod with 2 different Looks! 1 With normal Buttons like the ones provided by the browser! Every browser have their own kind of Buttons and models.

-----------------------------------------

The First Tutorial will be the a normal browser button style!

The other look is Custom, we choose what color we want for out buttons,WITH HOVER EFFECT & GRADIENT! If you want to make your own buttons, then simply go to this page: http://www.cssbuttongenerator.com and generate your own style! You will see the full tutorial at the end of this post!

Dark (Custom CSS Button)

LightBlue (Custom CSS Button)

Normal Browser Button (No Custom)

10 Different LoginBox (Only a Few Showen as example)

Default (LoginBox Used as Default)

Original vB 4.x Skin Top

Custom Pink / Red Top


Custom Orange Top


Custom Light Blue Top




And 10 Different Button (Only a Few Showen as example)

Default Buttons (Custom)

Normal Browser Buttons

Orange Buttons (Custom)


Light Blue Buttons (Custom)


Red Buttons (Custom)

We Start The Tutorial HERE:

Tutorial 1:

With normal buttons (Browser Buttons)

Step 1: First got to your ADMINCP, and then Styles & Templates! Now you should see your template name, on right side of the name of your template there is a dropdown menu! In the dropdown menu choose Edit Templates!

And now look for the header template or where you want the Login & Register button to appear!

Use either Header or Navbar template. But in this case open your Header template, and scroll all the way down, and add the following code at the bottom of the header:


Add the Code Below In Your Header:

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> 

<script type="text/javascript">

jQuery.noConflict();

jQuery(document).ready(function($)
{
   
    $('#MyLogin input[name="url"]').attr("value", window.location);

    $('a[name="My"]').on('click', function(event)
    {
        event.preventDefault();
        
        var target = $(this).attr('rel');
        
        var maskHeight = $(document).height();
        var maskWidth = $(window).width();
        $('#mask').css({'width': maskWidth, 'height': maskHeight});
        $('#mask').fadeIn(1000);    
        $('#mask').fadeTo("slow", 0.8);  
                
        var winH = $(window).height();
        var winW = $(window).width();
        $(target).css('top',  (winH / 2) - ($(target).height() / 2));
        $(target).css('left', (winW / 2) - ($(target).width() / 2));
        $(target).fadeIn(2000); 
    });
    
    $('.MyBox a[rel="closeMy"]').on('click', function(event)
    {
        event.preventDefault();
        $('#mask, .MyBox').hide();
    }); 
    
    $('#mask').on('click', function ()
    {
        $(this).hide();
        $('.MyBox').hide();
    });

Click Save, and your done !!!!Dont forget to upload the background image for the TOP, called "top.gif" to your images folder! All the extra images are in the Extras.zip file, Download it from the Attachments! Inside the file there is a folder called "images", simply upload the "top.gif" to your "images" folder!

Your Top Image is set to "top.gif" as default!
If you wanted to change your TOP, then replace the "top.gif" with one of the files in the "Extras.zip" images folder! top1.gif, top2.gif, top3.gif, top4.gif and many others!

Example of Default LoginBox with "top.gif"


Simply decide which image (top1.gif, top2.gif, top3.gif, top4.gif) that you wanna use for the top of your loginbox. If you are using vBulletin 4.x default theme then the TOP is called "top3.gif", and has the same look as the vB 4.x Default theme & color!





IMPORTANT!!!!!

How to change the Button Color & Gradient?

I have generated the buttons from --> http://www.cssbuttongenerator.com/
Short Video Tutorial --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YxjCsZV_w0

You will find a txt file inside the Extras.zip, called "Extra CSS Colors.txt" with 10 Different CSS colors for your Buttons! All what you have to do is to COPY the CODES from the Extra CSS Colors.txt and ONLY replace the codes THAT I HAVE MARKED WITH "RED COLOR"!

WE ARE OFFICIALY DONE, Please click INSTALLED if you like this, and if you later eeded support, I will for sure be there!

i want move to default login and register ->> right corner

[ChiNa]

I tested it to see if I could add it to the right side of the template! I tried the Header Template and the Navbar! The right side will be the HEADER template, especially where you want the code to be.. You can try urself too. And if we choose the navbar It will still creat a conflict, so Only half of it will show,, It seems like that the buttons can only be added to the left! If you want I can provide you a few fixes to the left side, almost everywhere! And if you maybe decided to add it below the vBulletin Logo or closer to "vBulletin Message" then it is possible!

Let me know if...

i only like right corner

[ChiNa]

I know, its has been been very hard to make it work on right side! The moving is not especially hard, I did move it into many spots, but the Jquery is not working as it should on the right side!

I let you know if I got any news.

[fxdigi-cash]

Thanks for the mod. works great on vb4.2

however, I have a little request if possible. I was trying to integrate twitter login box on vbulletin, but still not as easy as I thought. I tried also a mod in here at vb.org, but didn:t work.....

is there a chance to look in this request!!!! Thanks,
