Custom Alert Overlay Extension for TastyIgniter

A premium, highly-customizable fullscreen announcement and alert popup extension for TastyIgniter. Perfect for cookie consents, marketing announcements, policy updates, or critical site notices.

Authored by Paolo Rossini.

Features

• Premium Glassmorphic Design: Modern aesthetics featuring responsive full-screen overlays with adjustable slate/pearl glass themes, backdrop blur strengths, and entrance animations.
• Drag-and-Drop Button Configurator: Add multiple action buttons in the backoffice. Each button is customizable with its own action (Close and Accept, or Redirect to URL), style (Primary solid, Elegant glass, Danger accent, Outline), and text.
• View & Interaction Analytics: Logs when a user sees the popup and records which button they clicked (Dismissed vs redirect buttons).
• Performance Optimized (Hybrid Seen Checking): Prevents database bottlenecks on page load by checking client cookies first. For registered customers, it syncs with the database to prevent the popup from reappearing if they log in from another device.
• Auto-Reset on Update: Automatically hashes the popup content (title, message, buttons). If you update the message in the backend, the hash changes, resetting the cookies and database view logs so all users are shown the new message.
• Dedicated Logs Dashboard: A detailed table under Tools > Custom Alert Logs that is fully searchable and filterable.

Requirements

• TastyIgniter version ^4.0
• PHP ^8.1
