Pop up message with click on button with text of my choice

[Joilet]

/n is used for
next line of text.


However here is a GML (Game Maker Language) made up example of what I am talking about:

var my_Text_to_Use_instead_of_OK,message_Box_text;
my_Text_to_Use_instead_of_OK = "Yes Patrick Clinger is awesome";
message_Box_text = "@admin is an awesome administrator";




^ For any ProBoards type message board of mine how would I do up above coding
to work properly? Thank you in advance

pb.window.alert('@admin is an awesome administrator', {
buttons : [{
text : 'Yes Patrick Clinger is awesome'
}
]
})

I copied and pasted your code in Header and Footer but it did not work.


I put \n in between Clinger and is

Did you try putting in a <br /> instead of a \n?

Another question: What's supposed to trigger the popup? Unless I'm mistaken (and I very well could be), I think Chris's code will have it popping up everywhere if you're putting it in your global header or footer. By the way, I don't think it should be in both places - just one or the other, or there may be a conflict of coding with itself (2 copies trying to run about the same time).

There is no trigger in that code I posted, it is meant to run immediately and only serve as an example of how to do it. I was given the impression with your use of the pseudocode that you merely wanted an example of how to accomplish this on the Proboards platform. I didn't write a code for plug and play use, I wrote one as a demonstration of how to do it with the implication being you knew coding and could take it from there.

If you copy the code as posted and paste in the H/F it would not work because that requires you to wrap it in script tags but as i said it has no trigger and runs immediately so if you were to do that you would be getting a popup on every page load as MSG mentioned
