Jquery-lightbox effect on entering site - [Resolved-finally]

Hi guys n gals,

I'm looking for the same effect as appears as soon as you go to www.freshdrop.net , the "terms of conditions" box that pops up as soon as you enter the site, just for that session. Except mine would be an image with agree and disagree on it

I need this for a joomla site and would like some insight to how it's done.

Thanks all

May I be so bold as to make an observation, and give a bit of advice?

I see OP's doing this all the time, and it becomes a waste of server space holding the message-thread, helps no one, and wastes other's time reading it. I'm referring to asking for help on something, then just coming back with a simple "resolved" or simular second posting. We've seen your problem and know it was solved. Yet, no one helped you (atleast not here). Good for you, in finding the solution yourself :tu: However, could you please do us all two favors? One, change the title, so we know it was resolved (may save someone looking for someone else to just help alot of wasted time reading an already solved post) - ie: "Jquery-lightbox effect on entering site" now becomes "{resolved} Jquery-lightbox effect on entering site". Secondly, you could share the answer, unless it is some national-security-secret; that way, two days, two months, or a year from now, some NPer can use that nifty NP "search" feature and find out how to do what you asked how to do without posting the same question all over again. Saves everyone, and helps everyone :blink:

Just things :imho:

rhinoz, do not take it personal. Being an established NPer, you just made an easy target for me to rant about something that has been annoying me for awhile. Like I said, however, alot of folks do it, sadly.

Maximum now goes back to his corner and stops ranting

Maximum,

Understandable and valid point you made. That day I was in a serious hurry to get the job done and to find someone to do it.

At least I thought I had it resolved, alas, this is not the case.

I'm still looking for someone to have a valid answer on this because one soltuion I have works BUT it breaks the templates css, so right now I have either one of two things. The popup working and a broken template css OR no popup and the template css working correctly, talk about drive you crazy.

Again, my apologies for such an abrupt "resolved" post

Still looking and need it done FAST!

This is what I have so far placed within the index.php

================

<script type="text/javascript" src="/templates/rt_versatility4_j15/js/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/templates/rt_versatility4_j15/js/cookie.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/templates/rt_versatility4_j15/js/lb_img.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/templates/rt_versatility4_j15/lb_img.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
if ( $.cookie('TB_Closed') == null) {
$("#TB_Warning").click();
}
});
</script>


</head>
<body id="ff-<?php echo $fontfamily; ?>" class="<?php echo $fontstyle; ?> <?php echo $tstyle; ?> <?php echo $mstyle; ?> <?php echo $h3style; ?> iehandle">
<div style="display:none;">
<a href="/templates/rt_versatility4_j15/image.html?placeValuesBeforeTB_=savedValues&TB_iframe=true&height=436&width=502&modal=true" id="TB_Warning" class="thickbox">test</a>
</div>


the "image.html" has the image I want popped up within it. Also, I did not want this popping up everytime someone hits the page, just once every 24 hours and so that is why the cookie statement is in there. Hope that helps.

Thanks

I kinda got around it by using a module from dojoomla.com

http://www.dojoomla.com/modal-popups.html

Works very well as you create an article in the uncategorized section, make it published, take a note of the ID for the article, then go to the plugin manager, find the plug in, configure it for height, width, session only etc, enable it and hey presto :)

Now because you are using an article, you can just drop html, links, images and text into it and basically create your own mini webpage.

I like it, 2 thumbs up !!

***It's only designed for Joomla 1.5 and up***

Took me a little while to find something that worked, just a matter of searching through the google pages, found it around the 100th page LOL

You would hope they are using 1.5! LOL
