Description
EMC2 Popup Disclaimer uses Fancybox (http://fancybox.net) to display the popup, and jQuery-cookie (https://github.com/carhartl/jquery-cookie) to detect user session. Creates a cookie named “emc2pdc” that can be viewed with regular developer tools.
Easy to use! By default the script is added to the wp_footer action and will work quietly. You can also force the display on pages via shortcode or function call:
Shortcode: [emc2pdc id="42"]
-or-
Function: <?php emc2pdc_force( $atts=array(), $force=NULL, $id=NULL ); ?>
Check the demo at http://popup.emc2innovation.com !
To Do list:
- Add No-JS fallback support
- Create a selection of button themes
- Add support for different lightbox types
- Improve handling, add PHP cookie support
Known bugs:
- Recursive post shortcode call results in chaos
Configuration
EMC2 Popup Disclaimer will work straight out of the box. There’s a few options available from within WordPress, and future releases will feature themeable options.
Settings can be found in these locations:
- /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=emc2-popup-disclaimer/emc2pdc-admin.php (Default settings)
- /wp-content/plugins/emc2-popup-disclaimer/js/emc2pdc.js (Fancybox, jQuery-cookie settings)
The settings page is straightforward except for perhaps the “Restrict operation to directory:” setting. This is the operational directory of the jQuery cookie plugin – default is ‘/’, which is your entire site. To specify operation for a certain directory, type it here like ‘/store’. More jQuery-cookie settings can be found at https://github.com/carhartl/jquery-cookie.
Things of note:
- Specify post ID using shortcode is optional if blank, it will use ID# from settings
- Shortcode / function call will override wp_footer action
- Debug mode will output visible settings on every included page
- Setting an ID equal to the page youre calling from results in mass chaos! If you set the shortcode [ emc2pdc id=”10″ ] on post ID 10 it seems to freak out a bit.

Installation
Installation is straighforward:
- Upload the
/emc2-popup-disclaimer/folder to your/wp-content/plugins/directory - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
- Configure settings at
wp-admin/options-general.php?page=emc2-popup-disclaimer/emc2pdc-admin.php
FAQ
- My Cufon styles aren’t showing in the popup
-
You can add your own callback function for the Fancybox call in /wp-content/plugins/emc2-popup-disclaimer/js/emc2pdc.js in the .fancybox() call:
‘onComplete’: function(){ Cufon.refresh(); } - Are you available for help?

I might be able to help you – it totally depends on my schedule and workload. Send me an email! hello@emc2innovation.com. You could also post here on the forums.
If you want to jump the gun, make me a temporary user (with that email up there) and I will be more inclined to give you a hand. In return for my help, all I ask for is a rating! 🙂
