How to popup a window on main page?

I know many people have done this before, unfortuntely I am not familar with php and I know I have to use javascript to do this, but I don't know where to put it and which file.

What I need is quite simple, when my user open my website, I want to show a popup that shows a piece of html code including some text and image - basically my on sale information.

Can someone tell me very clearly in 1,2,3 on how to and where to write my code?

Thank you so much in advance.

Are you looking for something like what is on this site?

I installed a module from the Free Add Ons section for this.

Thank you very much Tina. That's what I am looking for, I will try it out tomorrow.

Just can't get it working!:no::no:

I just installed a new zencart.

From the instruction:
Installation Instructions:

1. Modify /includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE to refer to your template name
2. Upload the includes and popupimages folders into your zencart store
3. ** WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT THIS STEP **
   modify /includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/common/html_header.php to include this line:

4. Run the install.sql patch via Tools -> Install SQL Patch, I did it

5. Images must be uploaded via FTP or your hosts cpanel to /popupimages-----I uploaded it to the root: /public_html/test

6. I did this

7. I did it

8. I did it.

9. I did it

10. I uploaded it to the root: /public_html/test

The site is up but no popup.

I ran the upgrade sql, it returns me:
1062 Duplicate entry 'SIMPLE_POPUP_CAMPAIGN' for key 'unq_config_key_zen'
in:
[INSERT INTO znc_configuration (configuration_id, configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES ('', 'Campaign', 'SIMPLE_POPUP_CAMPAIGN','weekzen','If this utm_campaign value is set, ignore popup.', @t4, 20, NOW(), NOW(), NULL, NULL);]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

Can you tell me where I am missing?

Thank you very much.

Images must be uploaded via FTP or your hosts cpanel to /popupimages-----I uploaded it to the root: /public_html/test

path should be root/public_html/popupimages

or if you have your cart in a folder

root/public_html/folder_name/popupimages

Thanks.

That is what I put there, my site is: xiexianhui.com/test
test is the sub domain name.

I just took at look at your install, one file was missing and another was not in the folder it should have been.

Popup is working ~ enjoy!

I was able to create a website with popup when the home page is loaded using a mod called Simple Popup, in this website, I am using the default template comes with zencart installation.

I want to use this popup mod on my other sites like this one, I believe I already followed the instruction, just like what I did in the working website, however, the popup doesn't show up.:no::no:

Can someone take a look at my site and tell me what's wrong with it?

Thank you very much.:hug::hug:

Did you do this step?

3. ** WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT THIS STEP **
   modify /includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/common/html_header.php to include this line:

This should go before the </head> at the end of the file
If this file does not exist please copy it from template_default into your template.

It appears the code isn't being loaded at all. I see the jquery loading up but that also could be for your slideshow.

I did the step 3.

Could you tell me how to put your jquery and my original jquery together so it is enough to load only one file?

My jquery is attached here.

Thank you.

Just delete one of them.. The jquery file is automatically loaded by zen cart because of it being renamed to jscript_filename. All jscript_ files are loaded by zen cart.

Just make sure you only have one jquery loading up in YOURTEMPLATE/jscript

Deleting the other one makes the existing slides stop working. Can I put the two files together? How? The js looks so messy. Thanks.
