Anybody willing to share their "Please register wording...." ?

[KW802]

Anybody out there like to share their "Please register..." wording that they came up with? My writing tends to be more technical so most of my stuff ends up sounding like an installation manual instead of promotional. :o

I know each site is different but I'm just looking for a starting point of something that reads nicely.

Thanks,
Kevin

While it's not my own...www.christianforums.com has a modified TOS (terms of service) for their registration.

I'd copy and paste it, but I'm not sure about the legality of it. Just go there, click register and review the text that is displayed. ;)

Cool, thanks for the tip. I'm taking a look at their home page and I noticed the copyright in the lower right..... Jeez, Erwin sure does get around. :)

For my register.php text, which is modified with the phrase variable name forum_rules_description, I changed it and you can see it here:

Eclectica, thanks but I'm after is wording to encourage people to register rather than the actual user agreement once they go to the register page.

To give an example from a different site...Welcome to XXXXXX!

Registration will also give you the ability to track messages of interest, send private messages to other users, and view the full contents of XXXXX. Registration is FREE, and takes just a few seconds to complete. Click here to register on the XXXXX.

Something that I can put in a module that would only show to users not logged in to encourage them to register. :o

In my head the path I'm thinking to take is the dynamic announcements hack.

Sheck out my site http://www.ravensrealm.net If you are not registered an announcement is shown.. Is that what you are looking for?

You're doing that with the dynamic announcements hack or something else? :)

[mholtum]

also if you are a member and sign in and have no posts you get another announcement.. I got this from CLord. I added some code to the navbar.

Did cLord release that anywhere? I saw the Dynamic Announcements hack over at VB.org but nothing from cLord. :)

Nor would I ask for it. ;)

Between the vb.org hack and cLord's thread asking about conditionals I should be able to piece together a module to do the same thing. I think I'd prefer a center module over a banner at the top of the page so I'll try that route first.

That sounds like an interesting idea. I am sure if you ask him he would be happy to share is code. After all, he very willingly gave it to me. If you do come up wioth something I would be interested in seeing it.

No problem, anything I come up with I'll pass along. I figure that before I ask cLord for help I'll try to teach myself a little bit more about conditionals first (for example, I know I can do an "If... else" but I wonder if it can do a "If... else if... else..." type function). Plus I'm really intriqued by the question of: Can I conditionally suppress a module from appearing using logic within itself? :D
