Mini Mods - New way to force guests to register

ABOUT THIS MOD

My idea was to place a fix characater on the bottom right, wich forces guests to register an account, because i was sick of those standard "hello guest, register" mods.

So with this little modification, you are able to display a nice and flashy character to all guests - forcing them to register

All examples on the bottom are free to use.

IF YOU RUN VBULLETIN 3.X.X CHECK THIS THREAD

1. Upload your desired image to "/images/misc/register.png" (if you want my symples, feel free to use them, they are all attached below)

2. Open your "additional.css" and add the following lines:

div.forcetoregister {
background:url(images/misc/register.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width:300px;
height:200px;
padding:0 5px 3px;
position:fixed;
right:1px;
bottom:0px;
z-index:1;
}

3. Open your "header" template and add the following line on top:

To show it on EVERY PAGE add this:

<vb:if condition="$show['guest']"><a href="/register.php"><div class="forcetoregister"></div></a></vb:if>

To show it only on FIRST PAGE (forum home) add this (thx @ Whity):

<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'index'">
<vb:if condition="$show['guest']"><a href="/register.php"><div class="forcetoregister"></div></a></vb:if>
</vb:if>

To show it on every page EXCEP THE REGISTER PAGE, add this code:

<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT != 'register'">
<vb:if condition="$show['guest']"><a href="/register.php"><div class="forcetoregister"></div></a></vb:if>
</vb:if>

If you want the image to show up only for SPECIFIC USERGROUP(S), for example User who need to verify their e-mail adress - use this code:

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 3)"><a href="/register.php"><div class="forcetoregister"></div></a></vb:if>

Make sure to check your Usergroup ID in the ADMINCP as these may differ!



4. Mark as installed

5. You are done!

NEW FEATURE: RANDOM IMAGE ON EVERY PAGERELOAD

Since some one at the forum came up with the wish, to have random images on every pagereload, i can now provide you a solution:

1. Add this code to your "additional.css" instead of the code provided on top:

div.forcetoregister {
background:url(rotate.php);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width:300px;
height:200px;
position:fixed;
right:1px;
bottom:0px;
z-index:1;
}

2. Download the file "rotate.php" wich is attached below

3. Upload the file "rotate.php" to your FORUMROOT

4. Open "images/misc" via FTP and create a new folder called "ftr" (Complete path should look like this: /images/misc/ftr)

5. Upload your desired images to the "ftr" folder (supported file extensions are: PNG, GIF & JPG)

6. Your done!

I'm not really sure what you are going for exactly? Can you provide a little more detail on what you want?

I put the psd in there as well. You can change it.

Exactly something along the lines of what you provided. Something classic rock, music related.

Anyone know what a good image size is for this? 200 x 200?

It looks so cool, but i must deactivate this mod, because- theres a problem to loggin via mobile.
You can insert your nickname, if you press passwort you cant give an insert, because its forwarding to register automatically.
Anyone the same problem on vB4.2.0?

Is there a way to set a cookie?

Why completely uninstall from site?

Just remove from mobile skin.

I have a problem with the personal image that I created. The connection of the image covers the links of the discussions. If I try to click on a link in the forum (near the picture) I get redirected to the registration page. I tried to use the attached image in this topic (Super Mario) and no problems. What's wrong with my picture? I created an image .png

Thank you!
