	Hey Dejavu, I am trying something out and only want to show something once per visit to the user, so I need to know what the Cookie variables are... I was thinking of doing something like Code: {if (!$CookieSetVariable)} show this {/if}

	Easiest way is probably to use the session variables. html code: {if $this->firstview } stuff only shown on first view here {/if} php code: $this->firstview = 0; if (!isset($this->session['firstview'])){ $this->firstview = 1; $this->session['firstview'] = 1; } If you really want to use cookies, the cookie variables are simply $this->cookie but you have to set a cookie using the php setcookie() function.

	That works perfectly!!! Thank you so much D I have used the code supplied by Dejavu above and ShadowBoxJS to create a single instance of a popup sales offer page from any page landed on on my site. Take a look: Articles on Love

Hi Anne

it's really great.
but it pop up every time one visit the site? i visited 2 times today and i have seen it both times.

could you share the code and the settings?

I used ShadowBox JS to create the 'popup'...They have documentaion on how to install it on your site.
I created a block to house the shadowbox data {$Blocks->ShadowBoxJS}:

HTML

Code:

{if $this->firstview} 

 <script type='text/javascript'>
  window.onload = function(){
    Shadowbox.init();
    Shadowbox.open({
        player:     'html',
        title:      '<b>Love & Dating Collection From Oprah Relationship Expert</b>',
        content:    '<div style="margin:5px;font-size:1.2em;text-align:justify;"><h3>You are about to discover the "magic ingredients" that make some couples live happy and blissful marriages for DECADES and how you can as well.</h3><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://affpro1234.666666.hop.clickbank.net/"><img src="http://www.relationshipcollection.com/collection-y2.jpg" width="430" height="180" style="border: dashed 2px #ff0000;"></a></div><h2 style="text-align:center;margin-top:10px;">"Secrets of the Most...Happy ...Loved ...and Blissful Couples in the World"</h2><p style="font-weight:bold;text-align:center;"><a href="http://affpro1234.666666.hop.clickbank.net/">Love and Dating Collection</a></p></div>',
        height:     500,
        width:      500
    });
}; 
  </script>

{/if}

PHP

PHP:


$this->firstview = 0;
if (!isset($this->session['firstview'])){
  $this->firstview = 1;
  $this->session['firstview'] = 1;
}

Then I called the block in the main template.

As long as you are in the same session on your browser, there will only be the one instance of the pop up. If you close your browser and then relaunch it and go back to my site, the pop up will relaunch.
