[Plugin: The Welcomizer] Fire only on first visit

After installation, the plugin is currently in the context of adding an animation to the Home page. If you are not in this context anymore, you can choose Home again from the >> menu.

There are 2 ways:

1. Add an animation with a small delay, or no delay at all, and set the duration, and configure the first and second move.

2. Add 2 animations, one that contains the animation, set the event to ‘Manually’. After, inside the second animation, call the first animation by adding it into the top JavaScript textbox, under it you will find the animation list. Set this JavaScript textbox to ‘After the delay’.

The second way is useful when the delay needs to be triggered only once. When $(document).twizRepeat(x); is added.

They are many possibilities.

Let’s say, we have a repeated fading effect animation that does not require any delay. But we would like to trigger this animation 2 seconds after the page is ready. In that case, we need to set this animation to ‘Manually’, and then create another animation that has delay of 2000. Inside this one, we add the call to the first animation by choosing it from under the top JavaScript textbox found under the ‘more configuration’ link.

Over this JavaScript textbox there are 3 options, OnReady, Before the delay, and after the delay.

– OnReady will output the JavaScript textbox outside the function, literally OnReady.
– Before the delay will output the JavaScript textbox inside the function, before the delay condition.
– After the delay will output the JavaScript textbox inside the function, and after the delay condition.

About your issue, I don’t have any solution, but you have the freedom to create any variable that can be used as switches. By example: declare a variable, var myvar = ”; inside a JavaScript textbox that is set onReady. And wrap the call of the function, with a condition.

if( myvar != 1 ){
    [REPLACE_THIS_WITH_YOUR_FUNCTION]
    myvar = 1;
}

You probably can do your one time animation with a JavaScript cookie, and use it as your switch.

Hi Steve,

Here’s a JavaScript example that may help you to do so, but I didn’t tested it. I hope this helps. http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_cookies.asp

This plugin uses a cookie, maybe it can help you. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/what-would-seth-godin-do/
