Hi guys,

On my 3.8.4 forum I only have the login box on the FORUMHOME, so I decided to use this script and to modify it to include a floating login box, for those who wish to do the following simply use this code in accordance to what the author has already released.

• Replace contents of the phrase "$vbphrase[you_are_unregistered]" with the following code below;

<table width="100%" class="tborder" border="0" align="center">
  <tr>
    <td class="alt1"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="5">
      <tr>
       <form action="login.php?do=login" method="post" onSubmit="md5hash(vb_login_password, vb_login_md5password, vb_login_md5password_utf, $show[nopasswordempty])">
        <script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_md5.js?v=$vboptions[simpleversion]"></script>
         <!-- login form -->
        
        <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[formspacer]" border="0" align="center">
            <td class="smallfont">&nbsp;<label for="navbar_username">Name</label>&nbsp;</td>
            <td><input type="text" STYLE="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-weight: normal; font-size: 11px; height: 1em; background-color: #EDF7FA;" class="bginput" name="vb_login_username" id="navbar_username" size="8" accesskey="u" tabindex="101" /></td>
            <td class="smallfont" colspan="2" nowrap="nowrap"></td>
            <td class="smallfont">&nbsp;<label for="navbar_password">Password</label>&nbsp;</td>
            <td><input type="password" STYLE="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-weight: normal; font-size: 10px; height: 1em; background-color: #EDF7FA;" class="bginput" style="font-size: 11px" name="vb_login_password" id="navbar_password" size="8" tabindex="102" /></td>
            <td class="smallfont" colspan="2" nowrap="nowrap"><label for="cb_cookieuser_navbar"><input type="checkbox" name="cookieuser" value="1" tabindex="103" id="cb_cookieuser_navbar" accesskey="c" checked="checked" /></label></td>
            <td><input type="submit" class="button" value="Go" tabindex="104" title="$vbphrase[enter_username_to_login_or_register]" accesskey="s" /></td>
        </table>
        <input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
        <input type="hidden" name="do" value="login" />        
        <input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password" />
        <input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password_utf" />
        </form>
        <!-- / login form -->
    </table></td>
  </tr>
</table>

<div style="text-align: center;">You are Unregistered, please <a href="{2}">register</a> to gain Full access.</div>

• Search for vbulletin template "phpkd_floating_guest_notify" and find the following line;

                    <phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]" 2="register.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[you_are_unregistered]</phrase>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </td><td width="1%"><a onclick="closebar(); return false" href="$vboptions[bburl]"><img style="float: $stylevar[left]" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/close.gif" border="0"></a>

• Replace with

                    <phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]" 2="register.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[you_are_unregistered]</phrase>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </td><td width="1%"><a onclick="closebar(); return false" href="$vboptions[bburl]"><img style="float: $stylevar[right]" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/close.gif" border="0"></a>

And it will look like the attached image below. (I also give permission to the author if he wishes to link to this post in his release)

- Enjoy.
