Good popup script

♥monte22 · February 6, 2004

I am looking for a popup script that contains a cookie so that it only appears once. I want to show my customers one thing, but not have it bother them everytime they navigate back to the homepage.

Is anyone using something like this?

I think this is probably what you are looking for.

<script language="javascript">
// BOF:  Session PopUp---------------------------------------------------------
var onoff="on"
function openpopup(){
var popurl="pagetopopuphere.html"
winpops=window.open(popurl,"","width=250,height=355,screenX=150,screenY=150,top=150,left=150")
}

function get_cookie(Name) {
//this function is used only if you had selected popup to load ONCE per session
//You may remove this function if variable "onoff" above is set to "off"
 var search = Name + "="
 var returnvalue = "";
 if (document.cookie.length > 0) {
   offset = document.cookie.indexOf(search)
   if (offset != -1) { // if cookie exists
     offset += search.length
     // set index of beginning of value
     end = document.cookie.indexOf(";", offset);
     // set index of end of cookie value
     if (end == -1)
        end = document.cookie.length;
     returnvalue=unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset, end))
     }
  }
 return returnvalue;
}

function loadpopup(){
if (onoff=="on"){
if (get_cookie('alreadypopped')==''){
openpopup()
document.cookie="alreadypopped=yes"
}
}
else
openpopup()
}

loadpopup()
// EOF:  Session PopUp---------------------------------------------------------
</script>

This will load your popup once per browser session. That way as people navigate through your site they don't get a popup on every page, only when they initially enter your site. You can see it in action on my site by clicking my WWW link down below.

Make sure to edit:

var popurl="pagetopopuphere.html"

to the page you want to load in the popup.

And then edit your popup window parameters in this code:

(popurl,"","width=250,height=355,screenX=150,screenY=150,top=150,left=150")

Hope this helps.

Thank you very much, I think that is exactly what I was looking for.

One quick question. Did you put the code in the header.php or default.php.

Thanks again!

Sorry I forgot that part.

Put it right above </head> in index.php or default.php depending on which one you use for your main page.

Hello, I am getting an error when I tried this.

Parse error: parse error in /homepages/28/d88783310/htdocs/store/includes/languages/english/index.php on line 12

whats on line 12???

Post line 12 plus a few lines before and a few lines after 12 so I can see what the deal is.

David, you should restore your original /homepages/28/d88783310/htdocs/store/includes/languages/english/index.php file. That is not where you should be making changes. Make the changes in /homepages/28/d88783310/htdocs/store/index.php instead.

Hth,

Matt
