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.

nhawk,
I have been looking everywhere for a splash warning like this but never seemed to come across this until a few days back. I have seen multiple request about making this apply to the Forum Home page. Have you or would you be willing to make that change? I am looking for it to do this because as of right now I have a cms page I want to get rid of and this would be great if applied to the forum home page. Thanks.
