-Control opacity of background layer behind pop-up
-Cookie options allow you to enable users to permanently disable messages or show them once per session
-Exclude specific Usergroups from having to view pop-ups
-Control dimensions (height and width) and coordinate position of pop-up

Hi,
I'm getting this error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.7:

Invalid SQL:
ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `kirky_splash` VARCHAR( 1500 ) NOT NULL;

MySQL Error : Table 'blog.forum' doesn't exist
Error Number : 1146

When installing the product, you get a database error... I dug into your product xml and found a few things you want to change.

The install and uninstall code only worked after making these changes.
INSTALLCODE
Look for the following...

Code:

<installcode><![CDATA[$db->query_write("ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `kirky_splash` VARCHAR( 1500 ) NOT NULL");]]></installcode>

...and change it to

Code:

<installcode><![CDATA[$db->query("ALTER TABLE `" . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum` ADD `kirky_splash` VARCHAR( 1500 ) NOT NULL");]]></installcode>

UNINSTALLCODE
Look for the following...

Code:

<uninstallcode><![CDATA[$db->query_write("ALTER TABLE `forum` DROP `kirky_splash`");]]></uninstallcode>

...and change it to

Code:

<uninstallcode><![CDATA[$db->query("ALTER TABLE `" . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum` DROP `kirky_splash`");]]></uninstallcode>

The changes here, are for those of us who are using 3rd party styles and have more than one images directory. The way you have it, the user would have to alter the code to point to the correct misc directory.

MISC IMAGES PATH
Look for the following...

Code:

defineheader: '<div style="padding: 5px; color: white; font: bold 16px Verdana; background: black url(images/misc/blockdefault.gif) center center repeat-x;border-bottom:1px solid #373737;"><a style="position:absolute; top: 2px; right: 5px" href="javascript:splashpage.closeit()" title="Skip to Content"><img src="images/misc/skip.gif" border="0" width="114px" height="23px" /></a>$vboptions[splashtitle]</div>',

...and change it to

Code:

defineheader: '<div style="padding: 5px; color: white; font: bold 16px Verdana; background: black url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/blockdefault.gif) center center repeat-x;border-bottom:1px solid #373737;"><a style="position:absolute; top: 2px; right: 5px" href="javascript:splashpage.closeit()" title="Skip to Content"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/skip.gif" border="0" width="114px" height="23px" /></a>$vboptions[splashtitle]</div>',

A simple "you forgot table prefixes" would have sufficed. :)

Flep	12-16-2007 06:03 AM

Thanks

Before installing, can you answer the question of it can be made to display for a user only ONE time based upon a stored value or cookie?

I really want this but I dont want to burden users every time they open a forum.

Thank you for your efforts.

sola	12-16-2007 01:28 PM

Good idea. Thanks.

Great mod.
If it is slightly extended, so that you can set the warning so it automatically leads further to the forum, it can be used for adds, contest announcements, general info, etc.

Does this affect the whole forum? I'd use it if I could make the message show on only the forums that I chose, Does this do that?
Thanks a lot for the share.

That would be tremendously useful.... Great addition.

Yes, the ability for users to request never to be shown the warning again (for each forum) via a permanent cookie will be in the next version.

That is outstanding. I will wait for that one. Thanks much, very useful

Yeah, definitely waiting in anticipation for the next version

let me say... very nice disclaimer... i really like the fact that it dont continue to pop up for the same user unless he deletes his/her cookies.. really nice..

JohnBee

12-17-2007 02:39 AM

Great MOD! I would love to have this on a per post basis.
Reason being, many posts have specific content and it would be great if members could alert others accordingly.

Any chance it could work at that level?

There's really no way to display this kind of warning for specific posts. I imagine it could be possible to display a warning above each postbit - but that's going beyond the intended function of this modification.

12-17-2007 03:15 AM

Can you make it so it displays when a users enters the forum like right when they type YOURFORUM.com and it pops up..

You mean your forum's index? Yeah, I suppose I can add that functionality into the next version.

All times are GMT. The time now is 10:34 AM.
