Long title, yes. Easy solution? No. This bugger of a script takes a dash of re-engineering and a sprinkle of bravery. Community Builder’s plugin called ComProfiler Pro is a great add-on to make your joomla site have a beautiful directory of people (or employees) but it has an evil side where it will not agree well with hacks to it’s structure.
This did the job perfectly and gave us the simple dialogue box with-out any styling.
$("#yesno").easyconfirm({locale: { title: 'Please note that communication with the firm via email does not necessarily mean that you are a client of the firm. You are not a client of the firm until you have received a written agreement from the firm to perform legal services on your behalf. Accordingly, you should not send confidential information to the firm via email until such a written agreement is in place and the firm is under a duty to keep this information confidential. In rare cases, our e-mail filtering software may eliminate legitimate email from clients unnoticed. Therefore, if your email contains important instructions, please make sure that we acknowledge receipt of those instructions.', button: ['No','Yes']}});
$("#yesno").click(function() {
window.open($(this).attr('href'),"_self")
});
Recently I had to change this extension so that it would meet the Law Society of Canada’s requirement to have a disclaimer before emailing a law professional, basically stating that just because they emailed them, that it does not mean they are a client. We had to rush this before, so we added a simple old-fashion alert box to accomplish this. It was hard at first because you have to work around the built-in email cloaking of Community Builder, which is not related to the one built into Joomla.
So, to summarise I did this simple injection of code
$legal = "\'";
$legal .= "Please note that communication with the firm via email does not necessarily mean that you are a client of the firm. You are not a client of the firm until you have received a written agreement from the firm to perform legal services on your behalf. Accordingly, you should not send confidential information to the firm via email until such a written agreement is in place and the firm is under a duty to keep this information confidential. In rare cases, our e-mail filtering software may eliminate legitimate email from clients unnoticed. Therefore, if your email contains important instructions, please make sure that we acknowledge receipt of those instructions. ";
$legal .= "\'";
$replacement = '...';
$js = ' {'
. "\n var prefix='ma'+'il'+'to';"
. "\n var path = 'onclick=\"alert(" . $legal . ")\" hr'+ 'ef'+'=';"
. "\n var addy". $rand ."= '". @$mail[0] ."'+ '@' +'". implode( "' + '.' + '", $mail_parts ) ."';"
;
$legal .= "Please note that communication with the firm via email does not necessarily mean that you are a client of the firm. You are not a client of the firm until you have received a written agreement from the firm to perform legal services on your behalf. Accordingly, you should not send confidential information to the firm via email until such a written agreement is in place and the firm is under a duty to keep this information confidential. In rare cases, our e-mail filtering software may eliminate legitimate email from clients unnoticed. Therefore, if your email contains important instructions, please make sure that we acknowledge receipt of those instructions. ";
$legal .= "\'";
$replacement = '...';
$js = ' {'
. "\n var prefix='ma'+'il'+'to';"
. "\n var path = 'onclick=\"alert(" . $legal . ")\" hr'+ 'ef'+'=';"
. "\n var addy". $rand ."= '". @$mail[0] ."'+ '@' +'". implode( "' + '.' + '", $mail_parts ) ."';"
;
This did the job perfectly and gave us the simple dialogue box with-out any styling.
Now, I am a perfectionist and I did not like this at all and I needed to do better, so I went on a hunt for the best idea I could. I fell in love with a script called Noty, which uses JQuery to display elegant animated notification boxes. But it ran into a problem, it was not impacting enough. As much as I enjoyed adding it to the site, It needed to make sure people understood and did not miss the message. So the hunt continued.
Then I found an older but more impacting formula called Easy Confirm Dialog, again using the all powerful JQuery. Implementing it was Easy as it’s title says, and all I needed to do was add the Class to the same spot I did the alert and the cloaking picked it up perfectly. The I needed to make sure I was carrying over the url of the link, using the attr(‘href’) function after the window.open
$("#yesno").easyconfirm({locale: { title: 'Please note that communication with the firm via email does not necessarily mean that you are a client of the firm. You are not a client of the firm until you have received a written agreement from the firm to perform legal services on your behalf. Accordingly, you should not send confidential information to the firm via email until such a written agreement is in place and the firm is under a duty to keep this information confidential. In rare cases, our e-mail filtering software may eliminate legitimate email from clients unnoticed. Therefore, if your email contains important instructions, please make sure that we acknowledge receipt of those instructions.', button: ['No','Yes']}});
$("#yesno").click(function() {
window.open($(this).attr('href'),"_self")
});
js = ‘{'
. "\n var prefix='ma'+'il'+'to';"
. "\n var path = 'id=\"yesno\" hr'+ 'ef'+'=';"
. "\n var addy". $rand ."= '". @$mail[0] ."'+ '@' +'". implode( "' + '.' + '", $mail_parts ) ."';"
. "\n var prefix='ma'+'il'+'to';"
. "\n var path = 'id=\"yesno\" hr'+ 'ef'+'=';"
. "\n var addy". $rand ."= '". @$mail[0] ."'+ '@' +'". implode( "' + '.' + '", $mail_parts ) ."';"
Without adding any CSS for this, the Default template worked perfectly, sizes with the window and you can’t miss it.
