Pop-up Extensions for Joomla

This article is still a work in progress.

I am looking for a joomla extension that will pop-up a window the first time a visits a site each day. It needs to be fully customizable in appearance. I used to use Moo Pop Up but it doesn't appear to be available for Joomla 2.5.

NoNumber Modals

Selected Solution

Free and 30 Euro versions

NoNumber makes a number of extensions that I use all the time such as ArticlesAnywhere and Sourcerer so I was encouraged to discover Modals.

Simple Popup

Free

Looked promising but it conflicted with the background image viewer on the site. Changing the Advanced setting: Load jQuery through Joomla to "Include" resolved the conflict.

This was the second-best solution. It's free and very basic. It's a plug-in and not ideal because it therefore requires adding some text into the article that you want the popup to appear on rather than having it dictated by a "show on all pages" type of approach. But it works fine and meets the purpose. However, I wasn't able to get the full customization of the look that I wanted without having to edit a javascript file to remove a border from the pop-up.
