Yes, it’s the second method in sliding_popup.js:

function ShowPopup(description, lifetime, popup, duration)
{
popup.show().animate( { bottom: 0 }, duration);
ReceivedPopup(description, lifetime);
}

replace the line “popup.show().animate( { bottom: 0 }, duration);” with a call to the lightbox and you should be set.

Hi Karl, thanks for the quick reply. ShowPopup, is that in the javascript file. Could you provide an example of where this would appear. Thanks again!

Hi Tom! Yes, it’s certainly possible – what you’d do is use the script as a trigger for the lightbox. Calling it from inside ShowPopup should do the trick.

Hi Karl

I have been searching for something like this for a while. Is it possible to use it with a jquery lightbox, such as fancybox.net?

Thanks

Hi Anita! Glad you found the script useful. Apart from altering the 5-day lifetime on the cookie, you could also do away with it entirely by removing the lines which create and check for the cookie
i.e. remove HasAlreadyReceivedPopup(description) from the check in CreatePopup, and ReceivedPopup(description, lifetime) from ShowPopup.

Cheers,
Karl

Hi Karl,
Thanks for sharing this code. I have been looking for something like that for my customer. Could you please tell me how to remove cookies and make possible to open this pop-up every time when user visit the page? I know that it is annoying but my customer decided to keep this message for temporary special offer. Thanks Karl!
regards,
Anita

Thank you, Billy!

For the delay, just wrap the function call in a setInterval (http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_win_setinterval.asp) call, like so:

setInterval(function () { CreatePopup(“popup.html”, 200, 1500, “testpopup”, 5); }, 10000);
