Pop up Register prompt if user has not been registered

Very simple hack, just like the one requested here

but its not a stripped down version of the register, it will open the sign up form in another window.

so it works like this:

Unregisterd user visits your forum

User will get prompt to register, they can either click OK or Cancel

if they click ok a new window will pop-up with the sign up form. of course mine puts the forum rules first. the way it should be.

even if its not a express reg the user will most likly be annoyed with the pop-up message everytime he goes to the forum, so he will sign up

this is my first hack (sorta). go easy on me

thanks to FireFly some of the code he posted in a thread (the part that goes in global.php i simply modded it) what i would like is if they click cancel or add another button (if possible) to allow them to login. how would i go about doing this?

enjoy

Sorry
If I visit a place, and they annoy me with registration popups, my natural instinct tells me to get the hell outtah there. Sorry!

Would it be possible to delay it for perhaps 5 or 10 minutes, then pop-up - if they cancel, it sets a cookie so it won't display again for 7 days or something?

(I know, that's asking a lot, but I'm just thinking...)

thats what i really wanted to do but i dont know how to set a cookie, basicly what i wanted to do is whe nthe user firs goes to the forum they get the message, if the click cancel with wont show for another 60 mins.

just visited your site - nice, and good hack too
but i do have to agree with xiphoid , the pop up is very annoying

[voogru]

thats kinda the point, new feature when you sign up:

No more sign up "nag" pop-ups!

setcookie(); <- php to set a cookie
www.webmonkey.com and search javascript cookie to try get the js way

[voogru]

this is prolly all wrong but heres my try:

<script language="javascript">
{
	if document.cookie = useralreadycanceled;
    }
	} else {
	input_box=confirm("You have not registered on the forums, or are not logged in. Click OK to register, or cancel to hide this prompt.");
	if (input_box==true) { // Output when OK is clicked
		second_box=confirm("Open in new window?\n\n(Press cancel to open in the current window.)");
		if (second_box==true) {
			window.open('register.php?s=$session[sessionhash]','register','width=750,height=500,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,resizable=yes,top=50,left=50'); 
		} else {
			window.location="register.php?s=$session[sessionhash]";
		}
	} else {
	}
}
function setCookie()
{
    var timeout=60*60*24;
	document.cookie = useralreadycanceled;

}
-->
</script>

what im trying to do is create a cookie, make the cookie expire in 24 hours. if the user comes back 24 hours later it will show him the message. so basicly it looks like this

User clicks cancel
cookie gets written
if the cookie exists it doesnt execute the pop-up code
user comes back 24 hours later he gets the pop-up again
