This is awesome..

I loved the way this worked. However, it would be nice to have an option which allows the splash to be seen only once. Since home page is the start point of navigation for most sites, it may be advisable to have the splash come only once and thereafter the front page to load normally.

Please do consider and thanks for the awesome module.

Cheers,

I agree with "Only Once" feature, but I need to know weather:
- Do we show Splash Screen only once a day?
- Once after an hour? Because I think sometimes user close the Splash Screen but then user want to see it again
- Or .. any idea?

I think the following choices could be offered on configuration:
- on every visit
- at the start of new session
- after every [x][hours|weeks]
- randomly

We could set the value in the user's session on first splash and on subsequent loads check the value against the criteria..

I just upload 6.x-1.0-alpha4 and 7.x-1.0-alpha3 which contain this important feature:
- New: Support Content Type and Views as Splash source

So, we can make Splash Screen from NID, Content Type or even Views. I am not sure if we can add above condition to Views, but randomly-condition has supported by Views.

7.x-1.0-alpha4:
- New: Support Splash Autohide
- New: Support Splash Session Timeout

Done, we now have:
- 7.x-1.0-alpha3: Support Views
You can make random Splash Screen using random option in Views
- 7.x-1.0-alpha4: Support Splash Session Timeout
Splash Screen will display again after certain seconds

As a bonus, we have Splash Autohide, if you set to 10 then Splash Screen will auto-hide after 10 seconds.

One more question on this thread: I don't see the Session timeout. Is this something that may help with displaying a splash screen ONLY ONCE per user? I'm trying to figure out whether this is something that is already a capability (I don't quite understand what the Autohide does, but I do see that setting. The Session Timeout referenced here, I do not see).

Could someone either clarify those settings or let me know if having the Splash screen appearing just once per user can be accomplished another way? If that is not available yet, perhaps I could try a different module or contribute a patch.
