Easy to install.

2 folders to upload
3 templates to add some code to - copy the code between the [code] this code here [/code] tags.

lol nice but damn annoying .................... i think maybe that sometimes guests who are already registered but do not want to login for some reason, wether this be time or some other constraints it may well deter them from returning. sorry this is not ajibe as it is quite a fun element to have.

this can be useful.. i got two questions for you...

Can we change the time before it pops up.. I do not want this to show at first 3 second when u arrive at the page...

Is it possible, if you close it once, it doesn't show up again?

Not sure it would, be interesting to note what effect it does have.
You can limit it to forumhome or forumdisplay or whatever.

In the footer code: find

$('.registerModal').colorbox({open:true});

change to:

$('.registerModal').colorbox();

This will now only display OnClick

Now look in the footer of your homepage, you will see Register right at the bottom. Clicking this link, will launch the ModalBox
Meaning you could attribute this ModalBox to any function on the site you would like.
From auto playing a video, swf, instruction file. Tutorial etc.
As for 3 seconds lol... hmm not sure on a delay function

I would be more interested in a Cookie function, to display this mod ONCE per browser session on page load.

:::: UPDATE Missed Footer code from Original :::::

Have just updated Package, please re-download and make changes to footer code only.

No offence, but if I had encountered this on any site, I would leave without giving it a second thought.

Also, non-posting members are good for nothing. People that wish to be an active part of your site will register anyway.

Arch.

The objective of this is to show people how to adopt a Modal , jquery powered nag screen.
With upto 600 guests on our site on most days, we are always looking to further our membership.

Had you read the first line of the mod:

This does what it says on the tin, it isnt for everyone. So dont go whining and whinging. But if you feel a need for this, then enjoy.

Plus you havent downloaded it ?? Bizarre mate, perhaps you could have looked at the code, which we have provided everything.. and customised it to suit a particular need.

This mod, can be triggered onclick or onload

Meaning you could add a html navbar link, which is usergroup conditional or not.
You could then optimise the code, to display anything AJAXified, including Login forms, feedback forms, comment systems... tutorial videos..

We dont use this code on our site, but the concept is to give people the tools and inspiration to "have a go" and see that this is a modification which you could use for many other purposes.

In its Onclick State, a user doesnt get nagged ( I have posted that code above )
So a guest would not see this, until they clicked a button.

The code within ajax.html can easily be swapped out for any other code, specifically see the examples I posted within the link on post 7

I am sure you could find a use for this, just need to think outside the box.
