Full Instructions to how to get started with Site pal is in the Zip File

When you've made your Virtual Admin, You can load the file (Javascript is the cleanest) directly to the bottom of your header template, You can set the viewing to just once when you sit up your admin, This means that registered users will noy have to keep seeing this everytime they login or perhaps a simple conditional (Below) will keep it for un-registered members only.

 <if condition="$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 1">

Don't forget to ad the </if> to the end

Basically the finished script with the conditional would look something like this

<DIV ALIGN=CENTER>
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 1">
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="http://vhss-d.oddcast.com/vhost_embed_functions_v2.php?acc=788182&js=1"></script><script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">AC_VHost_Embed(788182,300, 400, '', 1, 1, 1719578, 0, 1, 0, '8d69700ca873cad45222de0f4674a812', 8);</script>
</if>
</DIV>

That way it will only show to unregistered members or whatever usergroup you place in the above condition.

Don't forget to click installed

Yes you can but the free version only has a limited amount of showings, (150 per month) your best bet would be to use it to gain new members, but giving them an insight to your site. You'd have to have a conditional that only shows to unregistered users.

Hopefully you should gain a few decent sign ups each month, if less than a quarter sign up as a result then thats still 30+ new members every month
