THIS ADD-ON IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AND IS NOT SUPPORTED

* General Information *
------------------------------
This add-on was originally coded by Kirk Y on vbulletin.org for vB version 3.6.8.
With permission, I have adapted it to work with vB versions 4.1.x and 4.2.0.

What does this do?
---------------------
This modification adds the ability to give specific forums "warning messages" that are shown to the user before he/she enters the forum.

For example: the user enters a forum that is intended for adults; the user enters this forum, is presented with the warning message explaining as much, and he/she can then choose to proceed into the forum or return back to where they were.

Features
-----------
  • Customizable message per forum
  • Control background color of pop-up
  • Control opacity of background layer behind pop-up
  • Cookie options allow you to enable users to permanently disable messages or show them once per session
  • Exclude specific Usergroups from having to view pop-ups
  • Control dimensions (height and width)
  • Popup is automatically centered in the browser window.


* INSTALLATION *
---------------------
1) Upload the entire 'images' folder to your forum's root.
(If your forum's location is http://www.example.com/forums/, the root is /forums/)
If your style has a 'misc' folder, also upload the 2 gif files in the images/misc folder to your style's 'misc' folder.

2) Import the product XML file (product-forumsplash.xml) into the Product Manager in AdminCP.

3) Go to ACP->Settings->Options->Splash Warning Message Settings. Turn on the system and set the options.

4) Go to ACP->Forums & Moderators->Forum Manager and set the message you want displayed in each forum you want the message displayed in.

Known working with vB 4.1.11, 4.1.12 and 4.2.0.
