Rotating Popups

Hi,

I am seeking some more clarity on answer given to a couple of past questions about creating multiple Popups but having them rotate automatically. In past two requests the responses have been to use:
https://docs.wppopupmaker.com/article/313-how-can-i-ab-test-or-randomly-display-popups

This is fine for me and I have loaded the script into site and it “works” but not how I want it to and I think it is my basic lack of understanding what the script is doing and how I need to setup the Popups in Popup Maker and get the customization of the variables correct within the script. This is what I have done and what happens…..

1. I have two popups and can see their Popup IDs (7560 and 7542) within the plugin.
When inputting into the script is the following correct:
var popups = [7560, 7542], // Comma separated popup IDs.
ie. Do I leave the brackets as above ?
2. The next variable is:
cookie_name = ‘pum-split-test’, // Cookie name for the test only.
What am I required to do with this variable, is it suffice to leave as is ?
3. cookie_time = ‘1 month’, // Cookie timer.
This is ok.

After loading the script what is the behaviour I should expect when refreshing the page ? and after selecting Close on the popup ?
What do I need to do with the PopUps themselves within Popup Maker by way of configuration for triggers and targets ?

Any help appreciated.

Peter

@deano34 – So that script is meant to allow split testing, in that scenario one you see Popup A, you would never be allowed to see Popup B as it would skew the test. So once any popup is opened in the above script the others won’t be. It is not a cycling popup script.

It could be modified by removing the checks for cookies and such and then it would randomly show a different popup each time. You would need to avoid all cookies in that case.
```
(function ($, document) {

    // Customize these variables.
    // ----------------------------------
    var popups = [163, 165], // Comma separated popup IDs
        // ------------------------------
        // End Customizations.
        chosen_popup = false; // Empty placeholder.

    function random_popup() {
        return popups[Math.floor(Math.random() * popups.length)];
    }

    function get_chosen_popup() {
        if ( ! chosen_popup ) {
            chosen_popup = random_popup();
        }
        
        return chosen_popup;
    }

    // Prevent non chosen popups from opening.
    $(document).on('pumBeforeOpen', '.pum', function () {
        var $this = $(this),
            ID = $this.popmake('getSettings').id;

        if (!chosen_popup) {
            chosen_popup = get_chosen_popup();
        }

        if (popups.indexOf(ID) >= 0 && ID !== chosen_popup) {
            $this.addClass('preventOpen');
        } else {
            $this.removeClass('preventOpen');
        }
    });
}(jQuery, document));
```
The above skips the A/B selection and just picks a random popup from the list each time the page is loaded.

Otherwise yes, leave the [] brackets, they denote a comma list inside.

Hope that helps. If your issue is resolved please take a moment to rate and review the plugin or support.
