- 5.00 average) UKBL ~ Guest/ New Registration Message Banner Gain more Registrations and Welcome New Members with this Message Banner Mod.  I had a request to improve this New PM to Unregistered Users and the end result is an animated 468 x 60 Gif banner which, when clicked will take members direct to the register page, Once registered they will be able to view the one message they have, which is set up in the admin cp as a welcome private message. The general idea is to show it to guests and unregistered members and tempt them to sign up. Normal members and other usergroups will not see this banner. So your still interested, lets roll  Installation This is really easy, shouldn't take anymore than a few minutes 1. Download the zip file and upload the message1.gif to your /images/misc folder on your server, and upload the file, you can as well upload your file to a site like photobucket if you don't want to dabble too much with uploading to your server. 2. Open your the message.txt file in notepad as you'll need to edit a few bits (See below) Code:
<DIV ALIGN=CENTER> <if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 1, 3)"> <a href="http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/register.php"><img src="http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr16614/ukbusinesslive/message1.gif" border="0"></a></if> </DIV> 3. Go to tour ADMINCP> Vbulletin Options>Style & Templates>Style Manager>Your chosen style>All Style Options> Edit templates>Forumhome Templates>FORUMHOME find Code:
$navbar Code:
<DIV ALIGN=CENTER> <if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 1, 3)"> <a href="http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/register.php"><img src="http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr1514/ukbusinesslive/message1.gif" border="0"></a></if> </DIV> Thats it, next we need to make our welcome PM as our newly signed up members will wonder what was the message!!  Just go to AdminCP>Vbulletin Options>User Registration Options Welcome Private Message is about half way down, Just edit the title and add the message of your choice, you could even add a promotion to a usergroup or explain any offers your site might have, either way, you need to reward your member for taking the time to sign up, and remember, he's on your board viewing as a guest, so he's definately interested in it, this way you've tempted him to take full advantage. Don't forget once you've typed your welcome message to click the Yes radio button to enable the message to be sent to the new members. Hope your registration rates increase, As always please click installed and i'll help you 100%
