Firstly, thanks for releasing a great hack.

I would like to request a couple of new default pop-ups:

Functionality for both would be exactly the same as the global popup you already have:

One of the would have a variable timer so that instead of popping up once every five minutes you could have it pop up once an hour or something for announcing important events. This is assuming that the timer is seperate for each member, and that it isn't tied to server time or something....

Next would be the ability to tie the pop-up into a value in a users profile fields (a way to consolidate the effects of this hack along with others used for reminding people to update/fill in their profile fields) or tie in the appearence of the popup to usergroup (including secondary groups!) to act as a system wide messaging system for time sensitive announcements that don't make sense as PM's

I have a question before installing.

1. Is it possible to only use the "announcement" hack? If yes: what should I do?
2. Can I just post BB code or HTML in the announcement?
3. How do I send an announcement?

very good mod!

Installed :)

Question: is there any way how to configure the timing of the fading? That's all.

Look in the /clientscript/ folder for file "vbulletin_scriptaculous.js"

The duration settings can be changed there..

IE..

new Effect.Opacity('primary_window', {duration:1.5, from:1.0, to:0.3});

Hey everyone - been busy with a major client project. I'm hoping to get a shot at doing some further updates for this at end of March. Among them

1 -- Scriptaculous itself is now on version 1.7. I haven't tested this script with that library - if someone has the time I would appreciate it if someone could run some tests against it.

2 -- I am aware of some conflicts with vbulletin javascript reported in this thread. I will definitely be giving this a look.

Feature requests I will write in

1 --- The ability to define popups in the admincp and delete the pre-existing ones
2 --- The ability to turn the initial fade in on and off.
3 --- The PM in popup feature.

These will collectively be in version 1.1

Great!
Any chances of making it work with Lightbox script as well?

there is problem with internet explorer 7. when pop up appear, it appear at right side of monitor and make screen more wide... with firefox it is ok

Just installed, have a few issues

#1

The transition effect is choppy / slow. Where can I adjust the speed?

#2

Upon logging in, I get a blank pop-up, yet all the fields are filled in except announcement and the 14 day message field.

#3

When loading, its slow. The header is cut off until about 2 seconds later it loads. This was not the case prior to installing this script.

See attached please

It's kind of slow.
