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!

yea oddly, it just refreshes my page, whatever page the guest is on. I've used this code elsewhere and its right, it just wont work. strange...

Although I don't plan on using this script because I'm still unsure how it would affect all indexing bots, besides google- though that is obviously the most important- this change should stop it from refreshing when people go to register...

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

That will make sure it doesn't refresh while viewing register.php.
