Miscellaneous Hacks - 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

<style type="text/css">
<!--
#sponsorAdDiv {position:absolute; height:1; width:1px; top:0; left:0;}
-->
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">


/******************************************
* DHTML Ad Box (By Matt Gabbert at http://www.nolag.com)
* Visit http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ for full script
* This notice must stay intact for use
******************************************/

adTime=20;  // seconds ad reminder is shown
chanceAd=1; 
var ns=(document.layers);
var ie=(document.all);
var w3=(document.getElementById && !ie);
var calunit=ns? "" : "px"
adCount=0;
function initAd(){
    if(!ns && !ie && !w3) return;
    if(ie)        adDiv=eval('document.all.sponsorAdDiv.style');
    else if(ns)    adDiv=eval('document.layers["sponsorAdDiv"]');
    else if(w3)    adDiv=eval('document.getElementById("sponsorAdDiv").style');
    randAd=Math.ceil(Math.random()*chanceAd);
        if (ie||w3)
        adDiv.visibility="visible";
        else
        adDiv.visibility ="show";
    if(randAd==1) showAd();
}
function showAd(){
if(adCount<adTime*10){adCount+=1;
    if (ie){documentWidth  =truebody().offsetWidth/2+truebody().scrollLeft-20;
    documentHeight =truebody().offsetHeight/2+truebody().scrollTop-20;}    
    else if (ns){documentWidth=window.innerWidth/2+window.pageXOffset-20;
    documentHeight=window.innerHeight/2+window.pageYOffset-20;} 
    else if (w3){documentWidth=self.innerWidth/2+window.pageXOffset-20;
    documentHeight=self.innerHeight/2+window.pageYOffset-20;} 
    adDiv.left=documentWidth-200+calunit;adDiv.top =documentHeight-200+calunit;
    setTimeout("showAd()",100);}else closeAd();
}
function closeAd(){
if (ie||w3)
adDiv.display="none";
else
adDiv.visibility ="hide";
}

function truebody(){
return (document.compatMode && document.compatMode!="BackCompat")? document.documentElement : document.body
}

onload=initAd;
//End-->
</script>
<!-- Inizio script -->
<if condition="$show['guest']">
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'index'">
<div id="sponsorAdDiv" style="visibility:hidden">
<table width="450px" height="350px" bgcolor="#008000"><tr><td>
<table width="445px" height="345px" bgcolor="#F0FFF0"><tr><td align="center" valign="middle">

<!-- here your message -->
<a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a>
<p><b>Wellcome to $vboptions[bbtitle]</b><br />
Here you'll find everything you need<br />
To be able to use our services you only need to <a href="$vboptions[bburl]/register.php" title="Register to $vboptions[bbtitle]">register</a>.</b>
</p>

<br>

<!-- /here your message -->
</td></tr></table></td></tr></table>
</div>
</if>
</if>
<!-- fine script -->

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

adTime=20;

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

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

<!-- here your message -->

and

<!--  /here your message -->

I have not written that is W3C validated

Anyone else getting an error in IE6?

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.

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
