popup message for iphone users ??

popup message for iphone users to let them know we have the mobile app? is there a way to do that?

Are you talking about in a mobile style or just normal site. The easiest thing would be to create a new notice in the admincp that let's users know.

just anything like if a user goes to the site on their iphone i want a pop up message saying we have a iphone app and then 2 buttons saying ok what takes you to the apple store and then a cancel button

heres what im talking about goto modmyi.com they have a pop up what i want

Ya how you do that???

[rob9050]

thats what im trying to find out

You'll have to add some javascript to your template (i.e. headerinclude). The code will look something like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
function showAlert() {
if((navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone/i)) || (navigator.userAgent.match(/iPod/i))) {
alert('Place your text here');
}
</script>

That's probably got errors in it but google "javascript detect iphone" and "javascript alert" to learn more.

how do i make it a link to the itunes store tho?

[SteveLV702]

Also what would I put also to notify Android users of the Android app?

[worried]

You would change the line above to look like this.

alert('<a href="http://www.itunes.com">Download here</a>');

Again, this might have errors in it but at least you have an idea.

that message didnt work so I used

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
if((navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone/i)) || (navigator.userAgent.match(/iPod/i)))
alert('This is what an alert message looks like.');
</script>

just when click on OK just takes to normal page I need to figure out how to automatically take them to the App Store

[rob9050]

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
if((navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone/i)) || (navigator.userAgent.match(/iPod/i)))
