Individualized pop up

Question
-
I recently had a team member request a pop up for important dates on the share point. Other team members do not want this feature. So here is my two part question:
Is it possible to create a pop up for date reminders with in sharepoint?
Can it be individualized to the user?
BTW, we are running 2007 version
Thank you

Hi,
Yes you can definitely do this using jQuery.
You can fetch the current user logged in through jQuery in following way:
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { var CurrentUser = $("a:contains('Welcome')").text(); var user= CurrentUser.substr(8,CurrentUser.length); });
Now you have a variable 'user" which has your current user, you can use this to restrict users to dislay these pop ups.
for example:
if(user="John" || user="Alex" || user="Jack")
{
//pop up logic here
}
Regarding displaying pop up, what is the source from where you want the dates to be poped up.. you logic in above code will depends on that.
Hope this helps.

Yes, it does.
Can I do this on the sharepoint itself or do I need to code off designer?

Hi,
Just add a content editor web part and add the script in Source Editor of this web part.
