NAG the BUGGERS NagScreen. This mod will NAG your guests to register !!!

Like I said above, I'm sure the coding is excellent and the mod is working fine, I just don't have the need to download something I won't use. If you were offended by my post, I apologize. It was not my intention.

You will be the first to know when/if I do

[TimberFloorAu]

cannot reply: bad request
Video Version
cannot post the code on here so have added to our forum: http://www.australiabound.org/forum/...tml#post179219

[TimberFloorAu]

See if this works now.

I have coded this now ( slightly differently on our forum ) But feel free to use this code change for adding dynamic videos using Modal.

This is a follow up to our Nag Screen.

Here is another example: FOR FRESH USERS ( you still need to upload content and colorbox folders !!!!! )

This MODALS a youtube link video dynamically on your Page

Open forumhome template

add this above </head>

<!--jquery modal-->
<link type="text/css" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" href="colorbox/colorbox.css" />

            $(document).ready(function(){
                //Examples of how to assign the ColorBox event to elements
                $("a[rel='example1']").colorbox();
                $("a[rel='example2']").colorbox({transition:"fade"});
                $("a[rel='example3']").colorbox({transition:"none", width:"75%", height:"75%"});

                $(".example5").colorbox();
                $(".example6").colorbox({iframe:true, innerWidth:425, innerHeight:344});
                $(".example7").colorbox({width:"80%", height:"80%", iframe:true});

                    return false;
                });
            });
        </script>
<!--jquery modal-->

Add this at bottom of footer

<!--Modal Box-->
<p><a class='example6' href="http://www.youtube.com/v/8k__7q3jRw8" title="vBulletin 4 - How to make a fixed style">vBulletin Tutorial</a></p>        
<!--Modal Box End-->

Click Vbulletin tuorial link bottom left

This link could be anywhere , navbar etc etc
Could be coded to add ajax inline , rather than iframe.

Whatever, but you cannot knock the fact this makes good sense, and looks wicked.

Anyhoo.. I cant spark peoples imaginations, I suppose they need to do that themselves.

We will be adopting this system for tutorials and other link screens in main menu over the coming weeks. Currently link just below header, for weather widget

[TimberFloorAu]

If anyone shows the slightest bit of interest in this lol.

We actually use this for multitude of uses. New use is Menu items and widgets

If you venture onto our site, open the sidebar menu
Look at Expat Info Links

[basilrath]

check attachment
my Register button is not showing
plz help

[TimberFloorAu]

Check the path to your button in ajax.html

find this code:

background:url(http://www.xxxxxyyyyyzzzz.com/forum/content/images/button.png) no-repeat 0px 0px;	}a.button:hover {	color:#333333;	background:url(http://www.xxxxxyyyyyzzzz.com/forum/content/images/button.png)

Check the path is correct
If you are running the VB Syuite, I suggest renaming the content folder to content2 ( in this download package for this hack ) then upload via ftp. Or if you have already uploaded, just rename it via ftp to content2

Then in the code from ajax.html
change content to content2

And also in the footer code in the readme, change:

<p><a class='registerModal' href="content/ajax.html" title="Register for Free">Register</a></p>
to
<p><a class='registerModal' href="content2/ajax.html" title="Register for Free">Register</a></p>

Downloaded, tagged, rated and nominated, but this comment I don't agree with.

This is a free hack, and I for one think VB should instigate a system of you download ---- you click install system. If you dont click install you should PAY !

Only reason is, I havn't got it installed on my forum, so why should I mark it as installed.

I mark all the modifications I use as installed, so I can quickly find the original post if need be.

I get what your saying by the way, it must be frustrating to release something then have a load of people take and not even say thanks, by clicking install, but that's just the way it is.

This sounds like a great mod and rest assured if I find a use for it, I'll mark it installed.

Keep up the good work.

Regards

[TimberFloorAu]

I do see what you are saying. And we obviously check out who downloads what and try and see where.. obviously for assistance issues.

I can honestly say we like others on here spend 33% of our time often assisting members with unrelated code we have released.

I am surprised at the uptake on this.

If anyone doubts its functionality...

Nip on my site ( no registration required )

Pop into the right hand sidebar, and click one or two of the menu links .

We have a megaerie of code in there, mainly colorbox stuff...
We have different windows that open and close and keep our users on OUR site.

Many gadgets widgets and iframes all unobtrusive and loaded on the fly.

Anyhoo.. if people dont even install it... bugger them lol.
