This is a Fancy Login-Box showen on your forumhome! Its made for Forumhome only and for Guests ofcourse. Its a simple but a fancy popup login-box! On the right I have added Social Sharing Icons from Addthis.com, and there is also a COUNTER showing how many have shared your site..

Notice that there is used Motools to run this, So you might be carefull not mixing other Jquery + Motools on your site! This is configured to work a vBulletin Default Theme! Ofcourse it will work on other vB4.2 Themes as well, Just that Motools is not good with other Jquery or Javascript used!

First of all, Download the Upload.zip file from the attachments below, and the "XML Product"! Upload the content of "Upload.zip" to your forum root!
1) Now go to yout ADMINCP, and then Styles & Templates >> Style Manager >> And the Style you use, on it right side on the DropDown-Menu choose Edit Templates.

2) Now look for "headinclude" Template, Click on open the headinclude template.

Now add the following code on the VERY TOP!

And add this on top:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="loginbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

Troubleshoots & Help

Installed but having conflicts with my Template

1. After Install Forum showes STRETCHED out, how to fix it?
2. After Install my other jquery and javscript addons stopped working?

Here is what you can try if you have any of the issues mentioned on top.......

In my Tutorial on top, go to STEP 2, and as you can see there are 2 LINES of codes that you should add in your HEADERINCLUDE template.. But Instead of adding BOTH of the lines. We only add ONE! But this time we add it in the HEADER Template and not Headerinclude..

So Go a head and ADD THIS code below ALL of the other codes, all the way down, in your HEADER template.....

Code to add:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="mooslide.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

Thats it,,,,,,,,,, Check if it works better



Next - Popup Login Box Options / Size & Color

ADMINCP (Settings)

If you want to change the options, you can go to your SETTINGS and "Fancy Popup Login-Box", there you can choose who should see it who should not!

You can also change the Color of the FLOARBUTTON and Size, plust where it should show up, on your forumhome!


Change Box Color

If you wanted to change the Colors for the LOGIN-Box, then check the file called loginbox.css & mooslide.css! Open it with a TEXT Editor, and there you have all the options there! Plus the WIDTH of the Login-Box

Notice: If you wanted to change the Height of the box, then its not in any of the CSS files, but its in the the XML product file, Open it with a TEXT-EDITOR and find the following line below:

Find:

var myLogin = new mooSlide2({ slideSpeed: 1500, fadeSpeed: 500,  toggler:'login', content:'loginPanel', height:220, close: false, effects:Fx.Transitions.Bounce.easeOut , from:'top'});

As you can see in the code there is the "height:220", Change it to what you like!

works great on forum after putting in it in the header instead of headerinclude. Now how can I get ti to work on my home page cms portal and not just in the forum see pokerlifenation.com the forum ti works but not in header on the cms

[Justinphx]

Works great on 4.2.2. However, I am using this mod: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ghlight=ticker and no matter what change suggestions you noted in this thread, there is a conflict on the forumhome page.

Got it set up and working but it asks me to log in when im already logged in

[AwesomeMetalB]

This is one of the best Add-ons I have seen on VB, so well done for the implementation of this.

The question I have might seem very basic and might have been already answered. I want to change the top margin and left margin to make it centered.

I have gone through all the codes from the CSS and the XML document, I have also used the inspection tool and found:

visibility: visible; opacity: 1; display: block; z-index: 5000; position: absolute; top: 100px; height: 220px; left: 25%;

These elements are inline and I can not find them anywhere, could someone let me know the best way to make theses adjustments.

Do I need to add this to the css files?

Thank you very much

Hi, It's an awesome plugin, but can we show it on every page ?

i.e. the login button is visible only on Forum page.
