Slideoutbox

Want to engage your website visitors with a call-to-action or promotional content?

Slideoutbox lets you display a sleek popup box triggered by scroll depth, perfect for capturing attention and driving conversions.

This is your first step to turning passive website visitors into engaged users who interact with your offers.

How To Use Slideoutbox

1. Install the module via the Joomla! Extensions Manager. You can install via URL by using this URL: https://github.com/brettvac/slideoutbox/releases/download/1.0/mod_slideoutbox.zip
2. Navigate to Extensions > Modules and find “Slideoutbox”.
3. Configure the module settings, including scroll depth (e.g., 50%), heading tag (h1-h6), main text, button URL, and cookie expiration (days).
4. Publish the module in a custom position (e.g., slideoutbox or footer). The slideout will appear when users scroll to the set depth.
