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.

I don't get what I am missing here, I don't usually struggle with instructions but for the life of me I can not see where to enter the custom message in forum manager?.

I am looking in a forum in my forum manger called 18+, I have gone into edit forum and I can not see the option to add a custom message nor an option to turn it on for that forum....

TIA.

Turn on the system in ACP->Settings->Options->Splash Warning Message Settings.

Once it's turned on, the option add/edit the messages will be at the bottom of your edit forum screen for each forum. (ACP->Forums & Moderators->Forum Manager... edit forum)

EDIT: I added screenshots of the settings page and the part of the forum editor for the splash message.

I thought I had already turned the that option on in splash warning message settings.

Obviously not .

Working fine thank you! :up: vb4.2.3 with vbseo.

You can display it either way..

Cookie options allow you to enable users to permanently disable messages or show them once per session

Yes, the button is a GIF and you can change the gif if you want.

Thanks, one idea would be to put advertising under the warning, if there is enough space to take advantage of better

That particular text is on the settings page and can be changed there.

All other text may be edited in the phrase manager.
