I installed it, but could not change the title of the button text, they kept being the predefined ones. Then I tryed changing the text on the php file and... suddenly I could not access administration of the site. Devilish >:-( Fortunately enough I was not born yesterday, I had made a previous backup, so I cloned it to another subsite, erased everything on the previous one, moved the files to the intended folder and everything is back alive and kicking. But if I was notr cautious I could be in real trouble!
After few days looking for a rich, simple popup extension ! I found IT !!!
Very Simple to use, simple to custom !!!
Thanks fot this good Job.
Be carefull changing the button caption, ... some guys are right, the component stops working correctly.
For me, it just generates a little problem of style sing it. It changes one color of my RT Template curiously !

I can't say enough about this plugin! It's awesome. Especially after trying to use the Popin Window from DART Creations.
This plugin has easy controls for sizing, controlling the fade in and out, looks awesome, and works right out of the box. Good job guys!
My only suggestion would be to allow for positioning on the page a little better but otherwise this works like a charm!

I can give this plugin no more than an Average rating, and I've giving it that only because, it's great WHEN it works. You have to edit a jpeg or png header image to take the popup logo out of the header, and you CANNOT change the title of the Close box, even though there's a field for it.
I also found out, if you publish this module to something like a debug position, it WILL NOT load images. The problem is, my next try was to the top of my page...and there you can visibly see the contents of this module appear at the top before the site finishes, then it flips to a pop-up window. Very messy. I ended up loading it into the footer since you can't see the footer at page load unless you have a REALLY big screen. Then I edited the header to take out the logo.
My site is bilingual though, and I simply cannot change the Close text or it breaks entirely.
Great idea...VERY poor programming. I can't believe these guys actually distribute this with their name on it!

Hi, I like this module, but as Joomla support the duplication of modules I was expecting to be able to duplicate this module and have two popups in the front page, but it is only showing the first, Is there some patch for this?
Anyway it is a good work.

I love it. tested on IE 8, Firefox and Opera. Works nice, EASY to set up and had my warning pop up IE SUCKS message up in minutes. TY for such a nice useful extension :) The cookie option is great, love the color styles options and enjoy even being able to add HTML if needed. What else can I say? Thanks again.
Excellent! Very Stylish display. Doesn't look like a spam trap - GREAT!
This is a really great Joomla concept and a fairly good rendition. It does what it says it will do in both 1.0 and 1.5 sites, pretty easy to configure. Excellent work by the authors.
Only problem I have is that I stupidly upgraded all my machines to IE8 and I get a blank screen after closing the pop-up. In Firefox and other W3C-compliant browsers it's awesome, but with most of what happens with the IE series things don't work too well. Nothing at all against this module though - it's Microsoft that needs to sharpen up their standards.
Would be good though if the IE error that IE8 gives could be sorted soon.. but top notch module!

Hi,
after having some need for modification (i only changed the language of 'close'), there occured strange misbehaviour. After going into the code what i saw was unbelievable for a template-club. but i think it reflects there actual skills of staff perfectly.
This module is so poorly coded and the staff from Templateplaza are not capable to fix that easy things. You have to change in code some wrong placed strings and modif the recall of the parameters taken for Javascript. Do yourself a favour and dont even look at their templates. Regards
I give 2 stars instead of 1 because i think the initial developer (who for sure already left since long time) had some good things in mind for this module.

Same review as Gabbesz, a good idea but very poor implementation...a lot of errors and bad codding.
Works great for my site. Perfect tool to display an alert of welcome note.
This popup tool would have been very helpful but it contains so many errors that makes it useless.
1) It should be placed into a module (which is used by the current template) and even if you switch off displaying the title certain elements are displayed for that module (surrounding boxes etc.).
2) In the title the 'moopopup' text appears with an icon - it should be an option to remove it on the admin page
3) If you choose to switch off the Draggable Box option the cursor remains the same and the contents of the box will be selectable. Very strange and unexpected behavior.
4) If you rename the Button Title from 'close' to anything else the contents will be displayed as a normal module. This is a coding error, it is easy to fix (if you are familiar with php and js), hard to find.
5) Instead of having 6 predefined css styles it would been helpful to provide options for title color, background color etc.
6) No positioning is available - the box is placed on the middle of the screen.
7) Why do one need the ad of your fancy (at least for you :) ) in his html code? Remove the ad now!
