MBrown Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Hi guys, Forgive me if I have missed it anywhere but I was just wondering if there was an addon or code that could produce a pop up window once a user loads the homepage? I've seen a few virtual airlines on phpvms using such a thing and that's why I ask if there's an openly available tool for this as such? Thanks for your help in advance, and don't laugh at me too much I'm not overly clever with coding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 You could try this -CLICK- Not tested, but just picked the first one that popped up in GOOGLE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBrown Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Ok thanks, I did try a few off GOOGLE but without much avail. That's why I was wondering if there was anything specific to PHP VMS that I had missed You know as a feature. The only ones I can generate are the type that get blocked by popup blockers and open in a separate window. I was hoping for something that appeared more inline and doesn't open as a separate window. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Sorry, no problem! I don't remember there ever being a pop-up module uploaded to these forums, but I am sure there are a few members that actually use it can point you in the right direction. By the way, Welcome to phpVMS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBrown Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Thanks Jeff, yes phpVMS is a really nice system to use and I hope to have some fun with it when we open soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutmeister Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Maybe not my place to say, but as a professional web developer, popups on page load are considered pretty much a no-no because the user didn't ask for it. Therefore, you'll find that the popup will get blocked by most modern browsers and some search engines might even penalize you as spammers utilize this technique to force users to see an advert. Just some friendly advice. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBrown Posted August 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Cheers tutmeister, all the help is good. It was nothing major just a little message box to let users know that it is simply a flight simulation website only and if they accept that then they can click ok. So doesn't matter if it's overly complicated Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 A disclaimer at the bottom of the page is easy enough, not intrusive either. I just leave websites which pop up at me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
