Full Instructions to how to get started with Site pal is in the Zip File

When you've made your Virtual Admin, You can load the file (Javascript is the cleanest) directly to the bottom of your header template, You can set the viewing to just once when you sit up your admin, This means that registered users will noy have to keep seeing this everytime they login or perhaps a simple conditional (Below) will keep it for un-registered members only.

 <if condition="$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 1">

Don't forget to ad the </if> to the end

Basically the finished script with the conditional would look something like this

<DIV ALIGN=CENTER>
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 1">
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="http://vhss-d.oddcast.com/vhost_embed_functions_v2.php?acc=788182&js=1"></script><script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">AC_VHost_Embed(788182,300, 400, '', 1, 1, 1719578, 0, 1, 0, '8d69700ca873cad45222de0f4674a812', 8);</script>
</if>
</DIV>

That way it will only show to unregistered members or whatever usergroup you place in the above condition.

Don't forget to click installed

What is available in the free version, how many phrases etc can you program?

The free Version is a cut down version of the paid version. You get 2 people, a limited amount of kit, (Styles, hair, clothes,background) Plus with the free version you nee to phone up and record your message.

You can still make a resonable effort, mind took the best part of 5 minutes

This is the Free version we're talking about, I think you must be after the Paid Premium Version which you'll have to apply directly on the Sitepal Site.

What the idea was with the free version was to use it as a virtual admin, so you could tempt people to join your site if they will will depend on how good your sales pitch is, either way you'll have 150 opportunities to gain a new member every month, To me thats a start.

Secondly you could use it for embarrassing moments like you need to do a tempory ban, and need to explain to the member what their options are, Just set the conditional to make it seeable to banned members.

The idea on how best to use this depends on your own creativity, Its free and perhaps you may only get a small amount of showings, but you can set it to show only once per user, and only to the usergroup you want.

To me getting a better than average sign up due to this idea, even though its only a free version, and a small version of the full package, it could work wonders for your site if managed in the correct format.

So out of the 150 leads, if you get 50 new members as a result each and every month, then the idea has worked..

Its up to you guys, be creative and use its full potential, or wonder what could of been.

theres always the full version if you want 10,000 showings to each member everytime they log on

[1320Nation]

Can anyone share with me how to set the sitepal code up so that it will only display in one specific forum?

I need to know how the code is setup as well as what template it should be put into.

Thanks.
