Mini Mods - [DBTech] Guest PM Notice (vB4)

Why use, Guest PM Notice?

When an guest views your forum, they will see a notification telling them they have a private message, and to view it you must fill out this form, When the user clicks on the word this, he is taken to your registration page, and hopefully will sign up, as it is human nature to be curious and they will want to know what the private message is.

Now this mod will only work if you have a Welcome Private Message set up on your site. If you don't have one you can set it up in ACP / Settings / Options / User Registration Options

So in theory, by adding this mod you may get guests to register, and hopefully become a active member on your site.

I'm only going to try this out because it comes from dbtech. Otherwise I would have never paid it any attention. Just downloaded, will install and report back in a couple weeks if it works.

[StonePilot]

I don't see anything. I'm logging in as a guest and there is no PM notification.

[DragonByte Tech]

Can you pm me a admin account so I can look into it.

Does anyone still fall for this old trick any more?

[ozzy47]

Probably not, but it's worth a shot.

Hi is there a way to change the text and text colour?

thanks

[ozzy47]

To change the color of the text, edit the template, dbtech_guest_pm_notice.css, and change everything in there to this.

.dbtech_guest_pm_notice {
    background: {vb:stylevar notices_background};
    font-size: 14px;
    color:red;
    padding:{vb:math {vb:stylevar padding}/2} {vb:stylevar padding};
    margin-bottom:{vb:math {vb:stylevar padding}/2};
<vb:if condition="$stylevar['textdirection'] == 'rtl'">
    -moz-box-shadow: 2px 2px 2px {vb:stylevar notices_shadow_color};
    -webkit-box-shadow: 2px 2px 2px {vb:stylevar notices_shadow_color};
    box-shadow: 2px 2px 2px {vb:stylevar notices_shadow_color};
<vb:else />
    -moz-box-shadow: -2px 2px 2px {vb:stylevar notices_shadow_color};
    -webkit-box-shadow: -2px 2px 2px {vb:stylevar notices_shadow_color};
    box-shadow: -2px 2px 2px {vb:stylevar notices_shadow_color};
</vb:if>
    text-align: {vb:stylevar left};
    clear:both;
}

You can change the part in red, to any color.

To change the text, (phrase) edit the phrase, testing_message
