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

Converted the popup box code into a template.

Any way to easily make this just pop up in a certain forum?

Great hack. *Clicks install.

How can you make this appear on every displayed page until they register? I tried adding the header info and </body> info on the Forum Display and Show Threads templates but it doesn't appear. I even tried changing the filepath to the full file path and still no luck.

I need this on all the pages since the majority of my hits come from search engines, so they typically don't see the first page from the start. This has been very productive for getting people to register and participate on my site since adding it just to the main page, so I could only imagine what it would do if it were on all pages!

My users are complaining about waiting 10 seconds to log in because on a smaller resolution, it is blocking that section of the navbar....

Is there anyway to create a link in the popup to click on to close it??? rather than the countdown????

I really need it to be more friendly, or I'll have to take it off for now until this has more features.

TheRayden · #38 07-13-2004, 04:57 PM

Any chance this can be set for specific usergroups only?

clicls install

Hi everyone. This is a great feature and I want to use it but it is imperative I can set it up to only show up ONCE per session.

PLEASE, if there are directions to do so, please tell us.

I read the edited hack a couple posts above but do not see that addressed there.

Great mod, but how do I turn off the pop up when people go to register?

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