Forum Display Enhancements - Forumdisplay Warning Splash Message

THIS ADD-ON IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AND IS NOT SUPPORTED

* General Information *
------------------------------
This add-on was originally coded by Kirk Y on vbulletin.org for vB version 3.6.8.
With permission, I have adapted it to work with vB versions 4.1.x and 4.2.0.

What does this do?
---------------------
This modification 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.

Features
-----------

• Customizable message per forum
• 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)
• Popup is automatically centered in the browser window.

* INSTALLATION *
---------------------
1) Upload the entire 'images' folder to your forum's root.
(If your forum's location is http://www.example.com/forums/, the root is /forums/)
If your style has a 'misc' folder, also upload the 2 gif files in the images/misc folder to your style's 'misc' folder.

2) Import the product XML file (product-forumsplash.xml) into the Product Manager in AdminCP.

3) Go to ACP->Settings->Options->Splash Warning Message Settings. Turn on the system and set the options.

4) Go to ACP->Forums & Moderators->Forum Manager and set the message you want displayed in each forum you want the message displayed in.

Known working with vB 4.1.11, 4.1.12 and 4.2.0.

Most likely you accepted the warning so now it won't warn again until you close all browser windows and then go back to it.

Thanks! Works fine! Almost what I need... but wish to have global warning text that can be easy applied for several forums instead of adding it for each individual forum... If I have over 100 forums it's pain in ass

Also would love to have it applied for FORUMHOME.

Thanks!

Just installed it on 4.2.2 and it's working great. I also would really love it if it could be used on the forum home page.

It shows the message IF the user uses a direct link to a thread. But once they 'accept' the warning, it will not work with other threads in the forum.

Installed!!!!!!!

It should be centered on the page without having to change anything.

You can try editing the style sections in the splashwarn_js template. But I tend to thing it might be a browser problem, or a problem with your style, not a problem with the template.

I would suggest trying it with the default unmodified vB style first. If it displays properly there, then it's a problem with your style.
