Follow message

Can i add a "follow message" for the unregistered users like here:
http://www.ipmart-forum.it/showthread.php?p=299330
So this message will follow them even when they scroll down ??
I hope you get it??

Ok now you will only be able to have this on your homepage and only edit the bits I TELL YOU TO EDIT, otherwise the code may not work Smile

1. Navigate to:

Admin Panel\Display\Colors\CSS Stylesheet

2. Add the following code into the white box and press "Submit" to save

Code:: #topbar{ position:absolute; border: 1px solid black; padding: 5px; background-color: white; width: 560px; visibility: hidden; z-index: 400; }

3. Navigate to:

Admin Panel\Display\Generalities\Homepage Content

4. In the "Homepage Message" add the following code

Code:: <head> <body><script type="text/javascript"> var persistclose=0 //set to 0 or 1. 1 means once the bar is manually closed, it will remain closed for browser session var startX = 30 //set x offset of bar in pixels var startY = 5 //set y offset of bar in pixels var verticalpos="fromtop" //enter "fromtop" or "frombottom" function iecompattest(){ return (document.compatMode && document.compatMode!="BackCompat")? document.documentElement : document.body } function get_cookie(Name) { var search = Name + "=" var returnvalue = ""; if (document·cookie.length > 0) { offset = document·cookie.indexOf(search) if (offset != -1) { offset += search.length end = document·cookie.indexOf(";", offset); if (end == -1) end = document·cookie.length; returnvalue=unescape(document·cookie.substring(offset, end)) } } return returnvalue; } function closebar(){ if (persistclose) document·cookie="remainclosed=1" document.getElementById("topbar").style.visibility="hidden" } function staticbar(){ barheight=document.getElementById("topbar").offsetHeight var ns = (navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape") != -1) || window.opera; var d = document; function ml(id){ var el=d.getElementById(id); if (!persistclose || persistclose && get_cookie("remainclosed")=="") el.style.visibility="visible" if(d.layers)el.style=el; el.sP=function(x,y){this.style.left=x+"px";this.style.top=y+"px";}; el.x = startX; if (verticalpos=="fromtop") el.y = startY; else{ el.y = ns ? pageYOffset + innerHeight : iecompattest().scrollTop + iecompattest().clientHeight; el.y -= startY; } return el; } window.stayTopLeft=function(){ if (verticalpos=="fromtop"){ var pY = ns ? pageYOffset : iecompattest().scrollTop; ftlObj.y += (pY + startY - ftlObj.y)/8; } else{ var pY = ns ? pageYOffset + innerHeight - barheight: iecompattest().scrollTop + iecompattest().clientHeight - barheight; ftlObj.y += (pY - startY - ftlObj.y)/8; } ftlObj.sP(ftlObj.x, ftlObj.y); setTimeout("stayTopLeft()", 10); } ftlObj = ml("topbar"); stayTopLeft(); } if (window.addEventListener) window.addEventListener("load", staticbar, false) else if (window.attachEvent) window.attachEvent("onload", staticbar) else if (document.getElementById) window.onload=staticbar </script> <div id="topbar"> <a href="" onClick="closebar(); return false"><b>X</b></a> <font face="arial" color="#000000">ADD YOUR MESSAGE HERE. </font></td> </div> </body> </head>

5. To add your own message edit the following area from the above code (Which is found at the very bottom)

Code:: <font face="arial" color="#000000">ADD YOUR MESSAGE HERE. </font></td>

6. Press "Save" once your done

This message will now follow you up and down when you scroll, It will stay open until the X is clicked, Once the message is gone it will only come back once the page is refreshed

Thank you !
One more thing . Does it'll dissapear when user register?
In other words i want only unregistered users to see it?

by Guest November 5th 2008, 11:05 pm

Hmmm then this will show to everyone, I haven't managed to code it to detect if a user is registered

You can set up a message using the forum widgets to only appear to guests and for it to be hidden to members,

There isn't a way that i could add the same thing to this could because its not actually part of the forum

Hmm... i tryed this code and everything you wrote above and here's what happened - All my forum "chapters" (like Mobile , Music etc.) dissapered!
Where exactly i should put the screen message in the second code?

by Guest November 5th 2008, 11:16 pm

That shouldn't happen with this code as this code isn't more than JavaScript in the main homepage message,

The only way they would disappear is if you deleted them or you created a new HTML page and set it to take over as the Homepage

I currently have the exact same code working on my forum without any issues

by ~PSYDEX~ November 5th 2008, 11:18 pm

Seriously!They are gone!When i remove the code from "Generalities" the forums chapters came back!?
And where exactly you sayd to put this part "Code:
<font face="arial" color="#000000">ADD YOUR MESSAGE HERE. </font></td>
" ? Maybe this is the problem?? Can you give me link to your forum to see how the script looks??

by Guest November 5th 2008, 11:24 pm

Strange!!!!!

Now you added the long code into the Homepage Content in generalities?

It shouldn't hide anything, the last part only states what to add to the small pop up,

You remembered to add the CSS for it, yeah?

=> Script In Action

by ~PSYDEX~ November 5th 2008, 11:28 pm

Oh i see...I've been added it at the bottom of other codes in generalities and it should be on top!How dummy HUH? follow message - Follow message Guish2

I fixed it but still no pop up message

It looks like this:

follow message - Follow message Welcometoyouradministraeb5.th

Am i wrong somewhere?

by Guest November 5th 2008, 11:30 pm

lol where it says "ADD YOUR MESSAGE HERE. " replace that text with what you want, from text to images and mail links but they must replace "ADD YOUR MESSAGE HERE. "

You should be fine after that Smile

Am i dumb or what? Shocked
