Summary

Hovering Login Bar adds a hovering bar at the bottom of your screen that floats, meaning it follows your screen as you scroll. Which encourages people to either login or register. It includes a login form, supporting Open ID as well.

Hovering Login Bar was also created to appear inline, it LOOKS like the bottom of your forum as it floats!

It also has 3 links, one to resend activation email, forgot password and a register link.

Hovering Login Bar disappears on actions such as Register and Login, in addition it extends the height of the forum so that the footer and copyright is still visible.

Installation

Package Manager should work in most cases. If you need to make any edits, the full list can be obtained from the Parse function on the right..

Good and excellent Work.

Check the file and got this line on 306.

$txt['join_free'] = 'Join '. $context['forum_name']. ' Free!';

Kindly check once. Thank you.

I apologize for the issue, I will resolve it right when I have access to my laptop (3AM my time).

I may not be able to submit the update to the modsite until later tomorrow due to no internet for my laptop.

However, I will post the change(s) once I can analyze the code on a computer,

It would be so good.

Kindly update it once possible.

[Matthew K.]

My laptop that I have all of my files on, and that I develop on has a problem that doesn't allow me to use it.

For now, this should work.

Did this solution resolve your issue?

I am trying to catch up on mod support before updating my mods, as my computer is still down. Trying to use my time as well as I can, and support comes first in my opinion.

Please update for SMF 2.0 RC3.

"The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF."

[Matthew K.]

Try using version emulate. The edits are definitely compatible with RC3.

Thanks for the reminder though

[shakaran]

Thanks, spanish-utf8 translation:
