Hi,

What code can I implement to set a cookie when exit splash shows? And then check so that it only shows for a maximum of not more than twice?
#cookie #exit #prevent #showing #splash

    Really depends how your exit splash is coded. We would need to see some code examples.

    It depends on how the exit splash is coded. If you're just in php or javascript, then check if there's a cookie for the exit splash, and if not, then show the splash and set a cookie.

      I using the Exit Splash by Dave Guindon:
      http://www.exitsplash.com/

      I place this code at the bottom of my page to activate it:

      Code:
      <!-- Start of ExitSplash.com Code -->
<script language="javascript">
var exitsplashalertmessage = '***************************************nn       > > > W A I T < < <nn     CLICK THE **STAY ON PAGE** BUTTONn    on the NEXT Window for a special  n           FREE EBOOK GIFT!nn***************************************';
var exitsplashmessage = '***************************************nn    W A I T  B E F O R E  Y O U  G O!nn I HAVE SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL FOR YOU!nn      CLICK "CANCEL" BUTTON TO STAY!nn***************************************';
var exitsplashpage = 'http://www.mindreality.com/facebookgift.html';
</script>
<script language="javascript" src="http://www.greatgenius.com/exitsplash.php?tc=3399cc&ua=1&uh=none&ad=none&sh=no&hv=no&bh=22&fs=12&lf=Arial&at=Powered%20by%20ExitSplash"></script>
<!-- End of ExitSplash.com Code -->
      Where should I implement code to check for cookie or set cookie? In my main page, or in the exitsplash.php page?

        It ultimately comes down to whatever you're more comfortable coding in. You can do it in either, since the exit splash is done in both languages. Here is how you do it in php, and here is it in javascript.

        Personally, I would do it in php. Something like this:

        PHP Code:
        if( !array_key_exists('user_has_seen_exit_splash',Array))//if the cookie dosen't exist
        {

                  //exit splash stuff goes here

                  cookie_time = time() + 60 * 60 * 24 * 365; //cookie will last one year
                  setcookie("user_has_seen_exit_splash", "1", cookie_time); //set the cookie
        } 
        Note: cookie_time should be $cookie_time, the forum software likes to delete php variables when they're enclosed in the code tag

          Thanks, how do I set a variable counter so that it increases each time the exit splash is shown, and then check whether it is shown twice so that it can prevent it from displaying a third time?
