Does what it says on the can

@oc2ps – Thanks for the awesome feedback. Just a few quick notes based on your thoughts.

– I am assuming that due to theme CSS there are discrepancies in the look from how it looks in admin. We are including a CSS reset for all base popup elements in v1.4

– Not sure I fully understand the siblings / multiple triggers, though we have made drastic improvements in this area as well in v1.4, Cookies have been separated from triggers, and each combined into a single interface. Now you can have multiple auto open triggers each with their own cookie or using the same. With extensions this will become pretty powerful.

– Also added in v1.4 was both a new mechanism for importing base themes that can be customized as well as including 5 new base themes which will be installed on update.

v1.4 adds to much to mention in one go which is why it has taken 3 months. We would love to get your early feedback and you can either grab the beta RC1 later this week when its released or grab a copy from our github.

If I missed any marks here let me know. The issues outlined above and a few other major updates are linked below, some with preview screenshots.

– New Targeting Conditions UI/UX
– Convert Triggers to an add/remove setup
– New premade themes (also there is a lightbox style theme included as well)

@danieliser Thanks for the response.

* CSS: The basic thing that bothers me the the popup “close” box. Though I set it up as a small box in the corner, it takes up the whole popup width when using X (see https://admissions.sg). So I eagerly await 1.4

* Sibling elements: When editing a popup, if you enable scroll-trigegred, then there is a setting Trigger Element. As a value I can choose a child >, or an adjacent sibling +, but not a general sibling ~. Similarly, in this box, I can’t enter multiple comma separated elements. (I mean, the UI allows it, but the popups don’t use any elements except for the first)

* Premade templates: Included themes sound cool! Looking forward to it. But to be clear, I was talking about premade “templates” (where one can edit content) as opposed to “themes” the way Popup Maker thinks of them. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLIlY_hQ2wk&t=19s (the video is about mobile popups…but from 19s to 23s or so you can see the templates they provide)

* Mobile: It would be awesome if you could do exit intent on mobile as well. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25498271/how-can-i-detect-exit-intent-on-a-mobile-browser

* A/B testing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzBpAAO98Y8 would be good-to-have

Would love to try out 1.4 Beta

@oc2ps – Hmm tested and it should work with any valid selector. It is passed directly to jQuery so if it doesn’t return an element it didn’t match properly, also should support comma separated lists of selectors but I will have to test and confirm this, but I am assuming since we pass it directly to jQuery the same would apply, but that is also an issue specifically in the extension that we can address there.

As for premium styled themes, that is possible in the future, we may even already be working toward a community driven database of user submitted themes, as well as some available from designers as micro purchases in our store. All things are possible and we follow our users needs so will keep that high on the list.

Also as far as exit intent on mobile, this currently isn’t possible. There just isnt any way to know they are leaving the page until they have already gone, at which point our scripts are no longer running. Here is a quote from the one answer in the link you pasted.

Unfortunately, it looks like if you want an event to fire before the page is hidden, you’re out of luck, because mobile Safari halts execution of everything on the page when the user clicks on the address bar. This means that you cannot, for example, monitor the page height to see if the user is typing on the keyboard (as they would be if they clicked the address bar).

Basically once the user lifts their finger, we can’t detect them any longer. Since they don’t have to slide their finger to the x like a mouse this leaves us no way to detect it. Glad to keep revisiting, but you won’t find any exit intent solutions that boast mobile exit intent functionality at this time. If you do I would love to see it and find out how it works.

A/B Testing is a fickle one. I have visited this once before but the current state of the plugin would have made it very cumbersome and not easy to use or set up / manage. Due to that we have been making many changes in a move in that direction so look for it after the next major update (v1.5).
