vbPopup will determine your guests to signup to your forums in an elegant way.
If a guest visit your forum (or a specific area of it), a popup will show (for a setable period of time) a message (you decide what you want, from hotest info in your forum, or simply an advertising banner) and an option to register. The great part of this hack is that it cannot be disabled by classic popup killers.

The hack is designed to make the popup show only to guests.
You can set the timer value by modifying vbpopup.js parameters and the popup's look by editing the vbpopup template. Also, all you have to add in your templates (the ones you want the popup to show) is: $vbpopup, so it doesn't take alot of time to edit the forums look. I recommend you to insert it only in showthread template, but that is up to you.

ESTIMATED INSTALL TIME: 4 minutes

A 'vbpopup' template installer is included in the package. I tried to make your life easy.
IMPORTANT: Run the template installer in root/forum/admin.

FILES TO MODIFY:
- root/forum/global.php
- headinclude template

A screenshoot is shown below. I recommend you to keep small the popup window size. In this way the newcommers will not get annoyed by the popup.

Comments, likes, dislikes are welcome. Fell free to post them all here. Also, post a link to your forums to show off your vbPopup integration (it might give ideas to others).

NOTE: The java code was inspired and modified to suit the VB needs from this script (you can see it in action). My hack will produce a similar efect on the forums pages. The only difference is a cleaner code to improve the load time and integration of VB variables.

UPDATE
-------------------------------
Ok, I eliminated the confusion in readme.txt file about the template installer.
The hack is attached in Post #9.
It seems to be a problem updating the attachments here. Anyway, I fixed this issue by reposting the .zip file below. Sorry about the inconvenience.

UPDATE
-------------------------------
As I said before, this hack is extremly easy to adjust to suit your forum needs. A good example is shown below:

Well vBpopup does close after a set time - I had to raise it to a minute so that guests would have time register - I do like the idea of the colors though - it wouldn't take anything to change and your right it would make it alot easier to use in the future - I could definently put in a link to sign in - that way I wouldn't p-off members with it! Thanks for the great pointers!

OK I have alot of members complaining about the popup when they come in to log in - why they refuse the board to use cookies is beyond me - can anyone help me put up a quick log in box to add to the popup window?

Wow.. Looks like a great hack. Suprised I hadn't seen it before.

Question though.. My board is a closed board. No new registrations at all so it's kind of moot to use this in the current way, but.... I forsee another use for it.

I currently use this hack : vbPopup Messaging

Works great, but it looks horrible IMO. I would like to make it so it looks like it does here but contains a message I send out.

Is that possible?

Also, I only want it to show once like it does on the hack above.

Thanks

Josh

Thanks John, but what I need to be able to do is dynamically create the message.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Josh
