Forumdisplay Warning Message

What does this do?
This modifications adds the ability to give specific forums "warning messages" that are shown to the user before he/she enters the forum. For example: the user enters a forum that is intended for adults; the user enters this forum, is presented with the warning message explaining as much, and he/she can then choose to proceed into the forum or return back to where they were.

2. Configure the Warning Message through the Forum Manager.
3. Setup the Global Options through the vBulletin Options menu.

-Control background color of pop-up
-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

(a) Yes, in the next version (tonight hopefully).
(b) The display is completely customizable. The only thing that is physically set are the "Return Back - Continue Forward" links -- everything above is set by you.
(Note however that this was designed for use on a per forum basis - not a per thread basis.)

Seems hack is setting cookie when you select return to previous page, so if you select that same forum again you do not get the pop-up message in the same session but instead you are taken straight into the forum. Is this correct? Seems to me cookie shouldn't be set until you select skip or continue forward. :erm:

Yes, this shouldn't be happening - it should only set the cookie as you said, when you click to continue. I'll add this to my list of bugs to fix.

Thank you for the reply, will be looking forward to your update.

Happy Holidays!

I would still like to see this mod be able to overcome the layering of flash headers... any further thought on that???
