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 checked in the AdminCP to see if the link internationalchristineclub.net/register.php had been removed or Switched off, But i cannot find mention to it anywhere,

I let in a New Registered User the day before via Facebook Connect, I had that set up with a auto 2nd user group , Strange thing when i went to delete the 2nd user group somethnig clicked over to Default, I ignored it BUT that may have somthing to do with this problem, I have since deleted the 2nd user group for Facebook users, I checked in New Registration Options on ACP and find no mention of the internationalchristineclub.net/register.php,,

So now unsure what of the 2 issue,s has caused this Problem, Really Appreiciate any help as not that computer savvy, although learning, But i am Not just pressing buttons for the hell of it..

Thanks

Check via ftp if the file is 'physically' on the server. I doubt it!
If the file is missing upload it from your local archive.
