FAQ

Questions about Content Restriction Popup

Still unsure? Our support team is one ticket away.

What is Content Restriction Popup 2.0?

Content Restriction Popup shows a modern login or module dialog to guests before they can browse protected content.

Version 2.0 is a full rebuild with vanilla JS, themes, triggers, and Pop Any Article style presentation.

Does it support Joomla 3?

No. Version 2.0 supports Joomla 4, 5, and 6 only.

If your site still runs Joomla 3, keep using the legacy 1.x release until you upgrade Joomla.

Does it still use jQuery or FancyBox?

No. Version 2.0 uses vanilla JS and CSS only.

Legacy jQuery FancyBox assets from v1.x are no longer included.

Which modules can I embed inside the popup?

Any published front-end module except another Content Restriction Popup instance.

Most sites use a Login module, but registration or newsletter modules work too.

What open triggers are available?

On page load, After delay, On scroll percent, and Exit intent.

Combine triggers with frequency rules when visitors are allowed to dismiss the dialog.

What is Force login?

When enabled, visitors cannot dismiss the dialog until they sign in.

Overlay click, Escape, and Continue browsing stay disabled unless you explicitly allow close.

Can visitors dismiss the popup?

Yes, when Allow close is enabled.

You can also allow overlay click, Escape, and a Continue browsing button for softer gates.

Which themes and effects are included?

Themes: Light, Dark, Soft, and Brand with accent colour and corner radius.

Effects: Zoom, Fade, and Slide up with blur overlay.

Is it mobile-friendly?

Yes. The dialog is responsive with safe-area support, stacked form actions, and short landscape handling.

Login forms inside the dialog are styled for touch-friendly targets.

Where should I publish the module?

Any template position works. Debug is a convenient default. Hide the module title.

The UI portals to the document body for a clean, flash-free presentation.

Does it work on Joomla 4, 5, and 6?

Yes. Version 2.0 uses the Joomla services architecture with a namespaced Dispatcher and Helper.

PHP 8.0+ is required. Joomla 3.x is not supported.
