Description
Sami Curtain Advertisement displays a gently animated curtain in a corner of your website. The subtle movement draws attention without opening the advertisement automatically.
When a visitor clicks the curtain, the advertisement slides in from the opposite side of the screen. The background dims, the curtain animation pauses, and the ad appears centered in an A4-style frame. Closing the ad reverses the animation and resumes the curtain’s movement.
Features:
- Continuously animated curtain that pauses automatically while the ad is open.
- Left or right corner placement, with the ad always entering from the opposite side.
- Three curtain/carpet artwork themes, each with a visual thumbnail in the admin.
- Website page-fold design concept with adjustable pixel dimensions (≈300 × 300 px by default).
- Customizable accent, popup, and button colors.
- Optional transparent PNG logo, with independent visibility settings for the curtain and the ad.
- Drag-and-position controls for the logo, with separate placement on the curtain and the ad.
- Draw and resize an invisible clickable area directly over an existing banner button.
- Optional visible custom button for banners that don’t already include one.
- Only the defined hotspot or button is clickable — the rest of the banner stays unlinked.
- Local tracking of impressions, opens, unique session opens, closes, and link clicks.
- Optional “Powered by Ping Booster” credit, off by default.
- No external analytics service, account, or license required — all data stays on your site.
All JavaScript and CSS in this plugin is hand-written, human-readable source with no build step, bundler, or minifier involved — what ships in the plugin package is the full and only source code.
