Information Bar for Guests

Information Bar for Guests (for version 3.5.0)

What is this?
This will display an information bar across the top of the browser window that appears to be like the Information Bar that is from Windows XP SP2. When the user clicks it they will be sent to the registration page for your forums. This is not a popup.

If the user is logged in then this will not display at all. This only appears on the page for people who are not logged in.

Yah I'm talking about that..

And you know what in the last 2 min since install. I got 2 new registers.. hehe

[Slapyo]

hehe cool.

rex_b you wouldn't happen to have firefox would you? i don't have it and would like to verify if it is working or not in that browser. if it isn't working i'd like to fix it so that it will.

[rex_b]

Nope no firefox here. I might DL it though

[Slapyo]

well if you do and don't mind testing it out lemme know! thanks.

i installed firefox at work but wasn't blown away with it so i kept IE here at home. the only thing i like is the tabbed browsing.

[rex_b]

Nope doesn't work in firefox and it removes the scrollbars in firefox.. weird

[Lionel]

it does not display anything in firefox. But don't feel bad, firefox does not display a lot of things.

to solve your problem, include the division in header within a table where you set the width.
No more scrolling problems with below. Notice the table is set at 100%

PHP Code:

<if condition="$show['guest']"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td width="100%">
<div id="infobar"></div></td></tr></table>
</if>

so in the header template if you place

<if condition="$show['guest']">
<div id="infobar"></div>
</if>

inside the first table which sets the width of the site then it works in firefox?

It does not work with firefox. That only solves the scrolling problem in IE. Look at my edited post above.

[Slapyo]

ohh ok cool thanks. what i am trying to get working is some more code that will place it at the top and it will not scroll with the rest of the page. it stays in place.

but this is a good quick fix. thanks!
