This plugin is useful to boost ypur newsletter subscriptions, to invite your users to participate in a survey, possibly to popin a window which allows users to play a sample of your music or to quicly attract attention to some new functionality of your site.

Joomla Popin Window by DART Creations

Download

Please Register and Login to download.

To install go to Installers > Mambots and choose the file you just have downloaded. If you like it, please take a moment to write a small review on the Joomla Extensions site, vote for us, or link to us! Smile

The mambot should be fairly easy to use, however if you find any problem while use it, please drop a line in the comments below or contact, and we try our best to support you. If you like it and used it, please do leave a comment with a link to your site, it would be good to know that other people have found it useful. Please note that to make the popin less annoying, the mambot is session aware, i.e. it only shows only once each time you visit a site.

A demo of usage of the window loads with this page.

Configuration

The mambot allows you to enter your own HTML into the window, thus the possibilities of using this module are endless. Just create the HTML you would like to display in the window, go to Site > Mambots > Joomla Popin Window and put the HTML in the parameters of the mambot. 

Don't forget to publish the mambot, and insert the { popin } text (remove spaces) into the article where you want the popin window to appear.

You can customize also the look and feel of the module, window size, position, resizability, and various other parameters, which are quite self-explanotory. Take a look at the screenshot of the parameters below.

Internet Explorer Problems

IE is very intolerant with the mambot it seems. The mambot is rendering <br/> tags where there is an <Enter> or whitespace, and IE is not happy about this. To resolve the problem please remove all whitespace and newlines between your HTML tags.

E.g. if you have

<div>

This is a cool popin

</div>

Change it to:

<div>This is a cool popin</div>

And so forth for the rest of the HTML. Eventually the mambot will be updated to fix this problem.

Love it! I have another mambot that allows me to show certain content for guests and other content for registered users. Is there any way to install the popin mambot twice so that I can have different popin windows for guests and registered users? I can be reached at bgarland@simplot.com. Thanks!

As with all mambots, you need to insert the text which triggers the mambot. In this case, you need to find the article where the popin will be displayed, and write {popin} in the content of the article.

Thus the popin will be displayed.

Ryan - Works for me in Firefox, Not I IP:76.240.218.114 | 2008-01-14 08:50:05
I installed the Mambot and it works fine for me in the latest version of Firefox. However, in IE7 on a Vista machine, I get an error that says:

Internet Explorer cannot open the site http://www.pageusingthemambot.com

Operation Aborted
DART Creations - Problema with IE IP:217.145.5.18 | 2008-01-14 09:24:54
There might be problems with Internet Explorer due to whitespace within the HTML. Please remove any whitespace between HTML tags, and Save the module. This should solve the problems.

marsal - adsense IP:77.221.4.8 | 2008-02-02 18:26:08
is it possible to show adsense banners in it?
DART Creations - AdSense + Title IP:85.232.198.75 | 2008-02-03 00:26:13
Anne,

I believe there was a slight bug, you can re-download and re-install the mambot to fix this.

Marsal,

yes you can show adsense banners, but you have to make sure there are no newlines within the adsense code. When you publish and look at the HTML source of the page, if you find any BR, that means you have a newline and you'll have to remove it.
Stephen - Mambot won't install IP:66.183.99.49 | 2008-02-04 09:35:56
Hi folks, I have tried to install mambot but continue to get error message when installing to Mambots.

File xxx/media/install_47a73c688fdb0/joomlapopin.php does not exist!

Any thoughts?
Tom - Love IT IP:82.2.3.182 | 2008-02-21 06:13:21
It's really useful and simple to use.
It would be great it if it could do rounded corners and have a colour picker in the admin.
Mike Lombardo - thespaceponies.com IP:76.117.1.131 | 2008-02-26 15:12:48
I installed the mambot and the most unusual thing happened, my fireboard forum lost formatting when reading replies.

When I disable the mambot the problem goes away.. So great item but it can mess with fireboard
DART Creations - Messes with Fireboard IP:85.232.200.58 | 2008-02-28 12:06:28
Mike, are you sure you didn't insert some HTML code, which breaks the fireboard forum. What if you remove all the HTML, does the problem still happen?

faizulman, you can put in pictures into the plugin too, since you can put in any html... You need to put in the relevant html for an image to show. I am restricted from entering HTML here but basically you will need to use and IMG tag with the relevant parameters.

Orialis, there was some testing code left from the development phase. This has been removed and the plugin updated. Please download again and test. If necessary get in touch via the Contact page.

Thanks
