Incredible mod.

Your modifications to this software are by-far the best.

On a side note, I don't like the name they chose for BlockAdBlock script. Does it actually prevent adblock from removing the ad, or it shows a message that an ad exists here?

No, it doesn't block AdBlock from functioning.  If you look at the GitHub link, you will see that BlockAdBlock is a fork of F**kAdBlock.  I chose BlockAdBlock because it would be better looking in a "corporate" environment than F**kAdBlock would....  That being said, they perform the same task: Allows you to detect the AdBlock (and other) extension(s).

I like how you incorporated this. Adblock remains a powerful force

on a side note, i noticed that your app button 'Admin' has a number next to it: Admin(15) - what is that all about, please ?

O:) ::) The Admin (15) thingy is the result of a screenshot where I hadn't emptied the error log before making the screenshot...

aegersz

thanks for explaining that ... i have heaps of stuff in my error logs, it's embarrassing but my system seems to work (for the most part  ::))

i'd love this mod, i think it's great BUT i hate pop-ups !

good job, though. well done !

Is it possible Pop-up this to be a JPG file instead of  HTML code?

No, you must use HTML code to refer to the image, like this:
<img src="/link/to/the/image" />

i installed this mod, but i cannot see any popup being shown. anything i missed?

thanks for the help

dougiefresh

Updated v1.3 - October 19th, 2016
o Modified package-info.xml to add redirect to mod admin settings upon install.

My answer assumes you are running the latest version of the mod. 

Several questions first:
FIRST: Have you enabled the mod?  If not, go to Admin => Configuration => Modification Setttings => Real Popups, then check the Enable Real Popup mod? checkbox.  After you press Save, then you should start seeing the popup.

SECOND: Assuming you have the mod enabled, do you have the Display Popup only on AdBlock detection? checkbox checked?  If this is checked and AdBlock isn't running in your browser, you won't see the popup.

THIRD: (Once again assuming you have the mod enabled) Do you have the Hide Popup from non-admin membergroups? checkbox checked?  If so, then administrators and membergroups with the  Keep Popup from being shown permission are automatically excluded from seeing the popups.

Let me know what is the case.  Meanwhile, I'm going to update the mod to redirect to the Real Popups setting area upon install....  O:)  I apologize for forgetting to add that little bit to the mod....

Give me an example.

Thank you for this mod, it was a great way to warn users that the site was going down for maintenance/site transfer. I'm sure I will find more marketing related uses for it later though. :)

I can't seem to make it work. I have a forum and I use uBlock Origin. It doesn't detect uBlock.
This mod doesn't support uBlock at this time.  It may in the future, if I can figure out how to adapt the code.....

Black Tiger

I would also like to use this mod, if it can detect ublock. I found a site which can do that and looked at the page source.

This is a script i found in the page source, could this be of any help to you do adapt the code?
<script>
function checkAdBlocker()
{
//var status = $('.adsBlock:visible').length == 0;
var adBlockStatus = (typeof(adsAreShown) == 'undefined');
var adBlockMsg = adBlockStatus? 'On (ads blocked)' : 'Off (ads shown)';
ga('send', { 'hitType': 'event', 'eventCategory': 'AdBlocker', 'eventAction': adBlockMsg, 'eventLabel': adBlockMsg, 'nonInteraction': 1 });
if(adBlockStatus)
{
$('#we-dont-like-blockers').show();
}
return adBlockStatus;
}

$(document).ready(checkAdBlocker);
                       
            $(window).load(function(){
                $('.image-wrapper').find('img').each(function(){
                    var imgClass = (this.width/this.height > 1) ? 'wide' : 'tall';
                    $(this).addClass(imgClass);
                });
            });
        </script>


And then this call a little higher (div id slightly adjusted):
<div id="we-dont-like-blockers">
    <div class="message">
        Dear visitor,<br /><br />

You are using an adblocker, please make an exception for us.       
        <div class="seriously">!</div>
       
    </div>
</div>
Greetings, Black Tiger
