This is an modification/extension to Slapyo's "Information Bar for Guests" mod found over HERE
I used his mod for advertising features or events on my site such as when a few people got together in Chat, or if I wanted to bring everyones attention to specific page or thread. I didnlt like editing the templates by hand each time I changed the text or URL, thus this install.
You can control the Text, URL and which usergroups will see the Inforbar via the AdminCP.
As of 1.0.4 you can have 2 different Infobars display to 2 different usergroups, say one for guests encouraging them to register and one for registered users informing them of a new feature or upcoming event or asking them to donate dollars....
No checking is done on this - I suggest you don't enable multiple infobars for the same usergroup!
The CSS and GIF files included are from Slapyo's add-on.
Instructions:
Upload 3 files to your forum root
Import Product File
Modify URL, Text and enable Infobar in vBulletin Options (Infobar) in your AdminCP.
Tested on 3.6.4

@ meissenation - I've looked into this and the Infobar addon is actually working on your site, but your banner is designed such that it positions itself absolutely at the top of the browser window, and as such goes over top of the Infobar...
If I make the infobar absolute, that might fix it up for you. I'll test this when I do my next release.
Where else would you want it to appear? You'd have to either eidt the plugin "Add Infobar" plugin, which would be a bit fiddly, or disable the plugin and then manually insert the code in a template where you want it. If you going down teh manual path, you should probably check out this one: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=123117 which is what this addon is based on.
I have vBa CMPS as my index page
the problem is that when I activate the infbar its work great in the forum but with no style
and when I try to correct the path of the style it works on vBa CMPS but I lost the style in the forum
how I can have the style worked in both?
or remove the infobar from vBa CMPS
@nnjj.net - does this happen when you use this add-on 'out of the box' or when you try to use it manually?
I use it with vBa CMPS without issue 'out of the box'.. It is possible that it could clash with other add-ons or with styles that use absolute placements of header images...
