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 2.0:
Tons of new stuff packed into this one!
The most exciting is that I have added support for Youtube videos and put in a lot more flexibility into the settings through a bunch of new parameters.
Here is a list of all the added parameters: name, textalign, width, height, autodimensions, scrolling, cookie, popup, link, url, gallery, cssclass, articleid, title, titleposition, hideonoverlayclick, hideoncontentclick, closebutton, transitionin/transitionout, speedin/speedout, overlayshow, overlayopacity, overlaycolor, video, autoplay
See the users guide for version 2.0 for a more detailed explanation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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!

Take care!

This is a brilliant little plugin. It does exactly what I wanted.
My customer wanted a lightbox popup to prompt the user to buy gift vouchers when they access the site. The cookie feature works brilliantly so the user doesn't see the popup every time, I currently have it set to refresh every 7 days.
Thank you.

I'm relatively new to Joomla and one of my biggest issues is that nothing seems to work the way you would expect it too. So, with some hesitation I installed and used "Simple Popup Pro." Wow! This is the first extension that I've used that does what it says it does and works the way you would expect it to work. No fussing, just beautiful results.
The support alone was enough to convince me to donate - something I never do. I ran across a strange issue with IE and moo-moo something or other and menus. I figured I would end up chucking the extension but instead I got a new version from the developer in less than 48 hours that worked perfectly!
This experience has done a lot to improve my attitude about Joomla and the Joomla community. Thanks Anders.
I'd also like to thank Darren at Interactive Media for originally finding and reccommending the extension.

I made a simple age verification pop-up with this extension and it works perfectly. You can put just about anything in the pop-up. I put in a table with images and links so visitors would need to agree that they were over 18 to enter the site or disagree to be redirected to Disney.
Highly recommended.

Excellent plugin, does exactly what I wanted, excellent support from author, replied in less than 30 mins
It was hard to make it work at first, then it dawned on me. Read the article ;-)
Please read both the manual and the article: http://wasen.net/downloads/SimplePopUpProArticle.pdf
Also, great support. Immediate response to inquiries and support request.
Thank you Anders! Please keep the good work coming. I am a fan!

This extension is so simple to set up and it provides all that is needed for a simple pop-up display. Be it an image or full article, it does the job perfectly! The only thing to look out for is to make sure to set a name for simplepopup if using cookies, but then again, it's all described in product manual. Thank you, Anders!
This plugin is SO obvious, SO simple and SO well-working, that it is almost genious!
I have an article with 20 links, that activates 20 different PopUps: No problem at all!
Even though it is free, the support from Anders Wasen is also amazingly efficient and fast.
Of course we all need an elegant popup on our Joomla site at some point.
SimplePopUp is all you need. You can even have a slideshow in your PopUp!

This plugin looks really good and is easy to install. I've used it on one of my organisation's websites, to inform people about a certain sign-up date. It works like a charm.
More importantly: the developer was really quick to answer my questions. So a big thank you for that! and keep up the good work!

I had a compatibility issue with my template after install - the developer Anders replied to my email immediately and instructed me how to get around the problem and get the extension working within minutes! Awesome! I've never received better service, even when I paid for an extension. Thank you Anders!
Thank you for that great plugin.
Can it be modified by setting a time limit of the pop up to be displayed?

I just couldn't get the plugin to work and did not understand why. Anders checked it out and found another plugin messing up the code. So he changed his code and got me a new version! Guess what? It works fine now!!
anders, thank you very much for the plugin and the excellent service! 5 stars!
My experience: medium. I can build some nice websites, but when it comes to PhP coding... I am lost
