UKBL ~ Admin Notice - Timed Popup for Non-Members


Want to tell non members why they should sign up to your forums, 10 different messages, on a pop up, and its timed so it dissappears after X seconds (adjustable)


DEMO : http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum

A Friend wanted this done on his forum asked me if it could be done, With a basic Popup script and a few add ons we came up with The Admin Notice with a difference.



When a non member views your forum, a popup appears for X seconds and tells the viewer, some reason why they should sign up, Be it a competition in the arcade, to promoting links from your forum.

The edititing is very easy and you could even use html to add links in the popup, The key word here is to experiment.

The popup is fully sizeable and you can chose the colors of the background and fonts to suit your site, i've just filled my 10 notices with just some ramdom bits but you can be as creative as you want.

The great thing about this popup is the fact that it will switch off after so many seconds, and once they've joined, they won't see it at all, so hopefully it may push people to sign up as a result of your offers etc..

So where do we start??

1. Download the zip file and open it in notepad or any other text editor

2 Find...

Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Here we can change the width and the height, at the end of that line to what we want.

3. Find...


Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

This is the time that the pop up is on display, remember its in milliseconds so the default 10000 = 10 seconds, feel free to adjust this to your requirements

4. Find...


Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Now this is where we change the pop up title, The popup color and the text color, Oh and the font and size (Almost forgot about that )

This is my fave Hex editor http://www.2createawebsite.com/build/hex-colors.html or you can use your sites own hex numbers

Finally, we need to edit the Text Notices, So find these at the very end of the code, it really is that simple


Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

And just change "Competition Time in the Arcade every Monday Night 9pm til 12 Midnight" to a notice or message of your choice, remember to keep the same format as the code, just change the wording, nothing else.

The conditional at the begining takes into account the non-registered usergroup, so no one else will view it only those that havn't registered, But if you want to use it for another purpose you can change the usergroup or delete it here

When you've finished with the edits, just copy and paste the code to your forums style, header template, right at the end, and save

Log yourself out and try it

If your using it as a competition type mod then you'd have to ask members to allow popups, if your using it to lure guests into signing up and they are viewing your forums then human nature dictates that curiosity will make them view that pop up.

The basics of the mod are there, plus with an adjustable timer you can time the box so that it don't appear for too long.

Plus your messages appear completely at ramdom

Its one of those mods where you need to experiment and get it working for you

You need to add a template condition with the user groups you want to see it, if you are using it for guests, then leave it set of guests and non registered, If your using it as a competition or for anythin else for members then you would use their usergroup number
