Redirect Unregistered Users to Register page in X seconds
v.2.00

What does this template mod do?
Basically, this will increase registration rates by letting your guests view the forum posts, threads, etc for X amount of seconds until they get redirected to the registration page. I use this on my forum is works great! It has increased the registrations by a long shot. The key to this is that most users who join vBulletin forums cannot find the register link sometimes and often are confused. With this, they immediately get sent there and register!

How do I install this modification?
Installing is the simple part. Here we go:

simple steps into installing!

Go to admin cp>style manager>all style options>place in your header.......

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 1" AND "THIS_SCRIPT != 'register'">
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="X; url=http://www.yourforum.com/register.php">
</if>

Replace X with how many seconds you want the unregistered to view your board.
Replace "yourforum" with your site name.

Press Save.

Next, go into your FTPs and replace your register.php with the one below.

You are all finished .

I will not be giving support to people who do not mark as installed and I do not accept help pms.

Thanks!

Hmm... Some of my guests take lots of time on the register page, I don't want them to keep getting redirected.

[alloutvb]

For everyone thats having the issue with it refreshing on the register.php page this is a simple fix that will allow your members to register without it booting them off, please add the following into your register.php file

//Added by AllOutVB so that we can redirect to register page without redirecting the register page
if(strpos($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"], 'register.php') !== false){
	$is_register_page = 1;
}

Hey people.... before bashing on this guy for releasing this... keep something in mind:

This is BASIC HTML CODE! All he did was put it all together with the correct vbcode in it. This isn't a "crappy mod" that he built... it's just a simple solution that automatically redirects someone to a different page similar to when you go to a webpage and it says "We are closed, you are being redirected to our new site" or something like that.

Don't bash on the guy for just throwing some HTML in that might help out others.
