I can't use this, it asks every time a new window is open. This should be put in a cookie and should only pop up once like tapatalk.

I agree that a one time pop up, or allowing the user to select to not display the pop up in the future would be optimal.

However, if you don't reload the full forum all the time (by using the back button, for example) the notification doesn't pop up for me and I find it ok.

Great! It is exactly what I was looking for

Great job!

This adds a cookie so it only pops up once per session:

Header:

Code:

<body onload="loadornot();">

Headinclude:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

function get_cookie(Name) {
  var search = Name + "="
  var returnvalue = "";
  if (document.cookie.length > 0) {
    offset = document.cookie.indexOf(search)
    if (offset != -1) { // if cookie exists
      offset += search.length
      // set index of beginning of value
      end = document.cookie.indexOf(";", offset);
      // set index of end of cookie value
      if (end == -1)
         end = document.cookie.length;
      returnvalue=unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset, end))
      }
   }
  return returnvalue;
}

function loadornot()
{
if (get_cookie('popup')=='')
{
iPhoneAlert( )
document.cookie="popup=yes"
}
}



function iPhoneAlert( )
{
if ( navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone/i) || navigator.userAgent.match(/iPod/i) )
{
var qes   = confirm( "This forum has an iPhone app! Click OK to learn more about ________ for iPhone." );
if ( qes )
window.location   = "http://________";
}
else if ( navigator.userAgent.match(/Android/i) )
{
var qes   = confirm( "This forum has an Android app! Click OK to learn more about ________ for Android." );
if ( qes )
window.location   = "https://_______";
}
}
</script>

***UPDATED July 7, 2012*** With the future release of iOS 6 this Fall you can add "SmartApp Banners" to your site example running on my sites below.

To acquire this on your site just add one simple line of code I added it to the very very top of the headerinclude template

<meta name="apple-itunes-app" content="app-id=XXXXXXXX">

Replace the XXXXXXXXX with your apps actual App ID.

I did this and it works great! Thanks. I will try the other one later.

Works!

In iOS 6, if I use both java-script and meta tag, will it show 2 duplicate bar?
We need use both for iOS 6 and previous iOS ver. Right?

Anyone have screenshot of this script?

Hi. What would be the code if I want to show a pop-up only to Android users?

Thanks!

I think this code is just for 4.X, not sure Steve has done anything for VB5

**Cristi_XP** · Fri 25 Oct '19, 8:38am

Does anyone use something like this for vb5? Or knows how to implement it there? Thanks!

L.E. it works for me in vb5... the headerinclude template is header-include in vb5. Have manage to see it work on android...

This thread is nearly nine years old. A *lot* has changed in that time, so it would be better to start a new thread with full details of the issue.

**Cristi_XP** · Thu 31 Oct '19, 4:38am

Yes, but it works also in vb5 also, so I confirmed to anyone want to use this.
