Pop-it up on page load (or not), pop-up only once for each user using cookies, add links through the Article as well. No need for menu items to pop-up the box! (version 1.1 only, see below).
Simple PopUp will let you add a FancyBox Pop-up on any page. The message is written in the Article as "hidden" text.
It will use the styling you give it when creating it in the Article complete with text styling, images, lines and/or tables.
How to use:
1) Install the plugin package.
2) Enable it in the PlugIn Manager!
3) In any article add the popup brackets {simplepopup}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
VERSION 1.1:
I am quite excited about my new version...
Features:
- Simple PopUp, regular PopUp like the one demo:ed on the previous page.
- Multiple PopUp's on the same page using links to open them.
- Prevent the PopUp at page load (like on this page), but not on the previous page where the PopUp opens at page load.
- Use external content through URL, e.g. adding http://myserver.com/mypage.html
- Use image in PopUp, also using title (description) for images.
- Use it as a Image Gallery, open the first image and then have "next" and "previous" navigation buttons to change image.
- Cookie support added (2011-07-30)! You can chose to only show the pop-up once to each visitor. See the manual for more information.
Added support for using Joomla Login Form in the PopUp, sample here: http://joomla17.wasen.net/index.php/using-joomla/extensions/modules/user-modules/login
See the manual for details!

If you use Simple PopUp, please post a rating and a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.
Take care!

Although I am an experienced web developer, I am fairly new to Joomla.
I found the installation simple and without issue and the documentation brief, concise and to the point.
The only thing I am a little sad about, is that onMouseOver, onMouseOut rollovers don't work.

For those who are searching for simplicity yet powerful popup plugin for Joomla, I recommend this plugin. Thanks to the developers.
Excellent extension. Great concept and very useful documentation. It is simple on the usage. I used it for login form and visitor's advertising. thanks a lot
I really liked the extension and wanted it on my website. However, I couldn't get it to work because of some Jquery issues. So I contacted Anders and he kept helping me and suggesting solutions until it worked! Concluding; Fantastic extension with a fantastic developer!
Would have wanted some more functionality like "I agree" or " I have seen" seen radio button..
But its a pretty good product, simple and does what it says!!
Thanks for this extensions..

Hi,
thanks for taking your time posting a review. I have put the "I agree" function in what I call the "Disclaimer version" which is a paid extension.
I got way too many requests from dubious sites and I really didn't like the idea of people selling "adult" stuff using my free extensions... Sorry about that, but at least you know there is a commercial version of it now...

Anders
Does exactly what it says, and that too very efficiently. Was having some trouble with the slideshows on my homepage, but got the solution by reading the reviews here.
Awesome job by the developer :)

I am impressed. I registered for this site just to write this review.
This is the first extension I have installed and used. It was very easy to install and amazingly easy to add to my site. Thank you so much for making my first experience with joomla extensions so perfect!

Works perfectly in FIREFOX, IE and OPERA, but not in CHROME or SAFARI. Only opens vertical bar with the X, opposing arrows and about 10px of the .jpg.a I'm using version 1.6.0 and running Joomla! 2.5.7.
Did exactly as expected and promised. May benefit from a button with dialog for the link and popup syntax to be inserted.
I was really hoping this extension would work. However, is only able to be embedded within an article not a module and when doing so, disables Yootheme's lightbox - all my images disappeared!
Also, the instructions were unclear, so I was unable to distinguish how to get the popup on page load. A waste of my time.

I am sorry to have wasted your time...
However I could have helped you in a blink if you'd asked...
As your lightbox uses jQuery there would be a jQuery conflict since Simple PopUp uses FancyBox. There is a setting to turn off jQuery loading for Simple PopUp which would have removed the conflict.
This is also described in my FAQ and in the documentation.
Simple PopUp is a PlugIn and thus built to reside in Articles. You can use the extension "Articles Anywhere" to include it into a module.

All i can say is it does as the developer promises.
Thank you for making sure it works, keep up the great work

I was looking for a popup plugin for my site and just simply tried simplepopup..
Installation and settings was no brainer but I struggled to make it work on my site.. I almost wanted to uninstalled it but decided to contact Anders (the Developer) .. After sending my question on possible requirements or compatibility. I was surprised to got a reply in just few minutes! - He helped me debug the issue and it was another module i used that caused the conflict or problem. So i upgraded the old JQuery the other module was using and it DONE.
The Best Experience I had so far.. Surely will recommend this plugin!
Keep up the good work!
