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!

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

BINGO

Hi,

I have set up this script and like it. I had to modify to tell it that it was not yourdomain.com/register.php but yourdomain.com/forums/register.php and then it started working fine.

However, after my users get to the registration page (the one where they have to put their username, password, email, etc.), its still refreshing there. Is there any way i can tell it to not do that (besides just giving the user more time to register). If i just give them more time, it defeats the purpose of the script.
