Realised I left a few things out …

Here’s a list of what’s going to be in the next version of the ‘Get Firefox’ Banner WordPress Plugin:

  • Close button means banner will stay hidden on more than one page
  • Need to fix z-index to be 99 (above most other objects, below Lightbox and similar things)
  • Ability to choose colour of text and text-background.

I’ll be on to those soon. be sure to watch this post for progress reports. In case you were wondering, I do in fact edit the version of the plugin running live on this when I make changes, so if the site dissappears for any length of time, you can guess what I’m doing.

Progress Report

Here’s the progress report so far:

  • Got this working using cookies in javascript. At the moment, the duration of the cookie is until the browser window closes. I’m open to feedback on this. Also, I’m using window.onload to hide the banner, so it appears briefly every time the page loads. I do have the Prototype framework running because of my lightbox plugin, so I’m looking into a ‘DOM.onload’ or similar to fix this.
  • Done
  • Not started yet.

Great! Looking forward to it! I hope it will be possible to not have any text-background too, to see the Firefox-logo better. Also I hope the close button will add a cookie so that the person won’t see the banner again next time s/he visits.

Read my mind mate :) I’m going to have both those options included by the looks of it. I was researching setting cookies with JS today, doesn’t look too difficult.
