    Good Afternoon!

    I’m not sure if this is something that is possible through the theme and not an external plugin (haven’t been able to find one yet), but I’m trying to have a legal disclaimer appear when exiting the site through two specific external links. This is for a pharmecutical site that needs to give them message to ensure people know they aren’t on their site anymore.

    Is this something that could be created using the Light Box functionality? It would just need to be text or an image that appeared before being redirected from the site.

    The problem is it is only needed for two specific external links, not all of them on the site, and one of them happens to be in the main menu. Didn’t know if Enfold could pull something like this off. If not, does anyone have suggestions. Much appreciated!!

    Hi jnhaswell!

    Thank you for using Enfold.

    Do you mean some kind of alert message? You can add a unique class or selector on the link code. Like this for example:

    <a class="external-link" href="http://www.google.com">Click Here</a>

    Edit functions.php, add this at the very bottom:

    function add_custom_script(){
?>
<script>
jQuery(window).load(function(){
	jQuery('a.external-link').click(function() {
		alert("You're going to a better place.");
	});
});
</script>
<?php
}
add_action('wp_head', 'add_custom_script');

    Change the alert message.

    Regards,
    Ismael

    Ismael,

    Thanks for the follow-up! This looks like exactly what I need, but upon adding the code to the bottom of the functions.php, I get a syntax error that crashes the site? Here’s a screenshot of where I put it and the lines that are getting errors. Any reason why this would be happening – I’m certainly not an expert with PHP unfortunately.

    Thanks again for the assistance!

    Thanks Ismael! Got it working for in posts/pages, but still having a little difficulty with the main menu. I’ve gone into the Appearance/Menus tab and made the option for “CSS Classes” available. I’ve put in “external-link” as the class. What am I missing on that end?

    Thanks!!

    Hi John!

    Use this code instead:

    function add_custom_script(){
?>
<script>
jQuery(window).load(function(){
	jQuery('a.external-link, .external-link a').click(function() {
		alert("You're going to a better place.");
	});
});
</script>
<?php
}
add_action('wp_head', 'add_custom_script');

    Hi Josue,

    I’m getting an error: “PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘?’ in E:\domains\instaglucose.com\wwwroot\wp-content\themes\enfold\functions.php on line 486”

    Put the code through http://pastebin.com/, but still getting the error? Did I add something incorrectly?

    Thanks!
    John
