MAN YOU READ MY MIND!!! Getting ready for a public launch for a community Im working with and this is exactly what I needed!

Thanks for this!

We are using Memberful for signups - would it still work?

The signup button transitions user’s to the Discourse sign-up route. It should be the same as if a user clicked on the normal sign up button at the top of a Discourse site.

Is there any way I can preview the component? Have installed and put it into effect, however, can’t see this banner show up on my incognito page.

Same issue, i can´t see it after “read” 2 minutes and be “anonymous” trough incognito browser.

Hello, It connects to the core signup CTA banner and will show up at the same time than the core CTA appears at the bottom of the topic.

This is the core signup CTA

For this you have to

@jordan-vidrine

The criteria are:

• User is anonymous
• User has read at least two topics
• User has read for at least two minutes

And I think it won’t show up if the enable signup cta site setting is disabled.

Has anyone who is using this component changed the styling or positioning of it on their sites?

I would love to hear or see what you’ve done

I have a situation when I have the banner showing but also the Login button in the header navbar

Any way that I can hide that using css in the theme, if the banner class is showing? I tried something like this but it didn’t help

.discourse-signup-banner:not([style*="display: none"]) .auth-buttons {
    display: none !important;
}

---

Edit

I was able to achieve this by doing this instead

body:has(.discourse-signup-banner) .auth-buttons {
    display: none !important;
}

Hey Folks,

Has anyone had any issues with the “Maybe Later” or “Dismiss” button not actually working. The SignUp CTA seems fine but that other don’t do anything.

I’m not seeing any errors in the console to suggest something have broken

Any help would be awesome

Hey!

I’ve raised a PR that fixes the issue with the “Maybe Later” / “Dismiss” button not working. You can check it out here:
