vbPopup for vB3 · **Released**: 02-16-2004

What does this hack do?
This hack will display a dhtml popup box with a message for unregistered users.
You can adjust the length of time that the popup box appears and the chance that the box will appear.

A dhtml popup is not a new window. It stays in the current window but acts like a popup box, it will disappear after a set amount of time and is not affected by popup stoppers. The popup box appears for all unregistered users and can be re-designed to your liking.

Hack Details
Version: 1.1

Installation Overview
Files to edit: 1
Files to upload: 1
Templates to edit: 2

Install time: 2 minutes

I would personally like to hand all credit to the original author of this hack in vB 2.x, TECK. Again, this hack is inspired by a dhtml script located here.

Check out the original thread here.

Updates

hy guys,

i need this script,

but it sholud open on each site, because users should also see this, if they enter the board direct via a mailnotification or a profile ore something else.

Please help me!!!

I wouldlike to use this as a "technician is now online" when one of us are on the site. And to turn if off when none of use techs are on line. Id there a way to just turn the pop up on or off?

this would be cool to use after registration is complete, reminding them to read the rules.

Could you set the variables to maybe do this for different usergroups rather than just unregistered users?

I mean that would be easy right?

sure.

I would think if you change
$show['guest']
to
$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==X

where x is your usergroup. I think that would work. I'm not sure though.

I would like to see something of the same nature... only appearing once per session... but I'm not familiar with the way vBulletin stores or uses guest sessions.

Great Hack!

Thanks! I've been looking for something like this. Too many guests but not enough members on my site...

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
