Hi Guys
new to this and joomla
I have the following code which I want to use in Joomla. Can anyone tell me where to put it. (Dont be rude;))
Have tried several location but havent got it to run yet

Code
<script type="text/javascript">

//JK Popup Window Script (version 3.0)- By JavaScript Kit (http://www.javascriptkit.com)
//Visit JavaScriptKit.com for free JavaScripts
//This notice must stay intact for legal use
//Win Type: Pop Up | Session Only

//Specify URLs to randomly select from and popup/popunder:
//To display a single URL, just remove all but the first entry below:
var popurls=new Array()
popurls[0]="http://www.javascriptkit.com"
popurls[1]="http://www.dynamicdrive.com"
popurls[2]="http://www.webmasterpick.com"
popurls[3]="http://www.codingforums.com"

function openpopup(popurl){
var winpops=window.open(popurl,"","width=,height=,status")
}

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('jkpopup')==''){
openpopup(popurls[Math.floor(Math.random()*(popurls.length))])
document.cookie="jkpopup=yes"
}
}

loadornot()
</script>

The following should work on page load:


document.onload = loadornot;


Just stick it within your javascript and you're set.

Looking at your code, I don't see it. Let me try and translate what "document.onload = loadornot;" does: "When the document has finished loading call the function by the name loadornot". What I see in your code is the following:


function loadornot(){
if (get_cookie('jkpopup')==''){
openpopup(popurls[Math.floor(Math.random()*(popurls.length))])
document.cookie="jkpopup=yes"
}
}

loadornot()


Replace the bold red text with:

document.onload = loadornot;


Which in turn will cause the function loadornot to be executed upon completed loading of the webpage... and essentially achieve the effect you want, i.e. open a pop-up window with the random link when the webpage loads. As to where you should insert your entire JavaScript... that really is up to you, I'm guessing at present it is located in the <head> of the webpage that you want to have a pop-up appear at. If not, I'd suggest you move it there.

I will try your suggestion and let you know how I get on.

I tried to put it in the index.php file but it didnt like it , so I put it an avascript.js file. It doesnt load when I open page, but does open when I login as a user

Hmmm, it should work. Try the following in that case:


<script type="text/javascript" src="avascript.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.onload = loadornot;
</script>


This should go into the <head> of your index.php file. Would help if you had a link to provide... or the error message you get if index.php produces an error when you try to add the code.

this is what happens
go to http://www.radioqfm.com/index.php

and nothing pops up, this is where I want it to pop up



so I dont think its a problem with the script but where I have placed it in Joomla

It's what you gave me as an information for the file itself (I personally thought you were giving me a filename, so I copied it literally).

I will try your suggestion and let you know how I get on.

I tried to put it in the index.php file but it didnt like it , so I put it an avascript.js file. It doesnt load when I open page, but does open when I login as a user

Just replace with the name of the file you put your script into. Also... and this is my bad... instead of using document.onload, use window.onload - which in turn should fix the problem itself.
