Ideal Surprise

Ideal Surprise creates door calendars for Joomla 4.4, 5 and 6 and for WordPress 6.2 and later. Each window opens on its date: the visitor enters their email, discovers their gift or a consolation message and receives an email with their code. The calendar goes in a page, a module or a YOOtheme Pro page with the included element. On WordPress: shortcode [ideal_surprise id="1"], « Ideal Surprise » block or YOOtheme element.

What it does

• 15 ready-made themes for the whole year, 13 window shapes (heart, pumpkin, egg, balloon…) and animated effects (snow, hearts, leaves, petals, balloons)
• One window a day, a week or on the date you choose; past windows can stay playable
• Winners drawn at random: probability, winning moments or a gift for everyone, with a number of prizes per window
• Free content in each window: headings, texts, images, videos, buttons, fixed or unique codes, shown to everyone, to winners or to the others
• Participation by email with consent, list of participants and winners, CSV export
• Email to the participant and notification to the administrator: on every win, on every participation or never
• YOOtheme Pro 4 and 5 element with its own Style tab: different colours, shape and effect on each page
• Built-in diagnostics, debug mode and a « Managers » group to delegate campaigns; interface in English, French, German and Italian
• « Test » button: the calendar as on the site, every window can be opened, won or lost result on demand, nothing saved
• Unique code pool for the whole campaign: wins stop by themselves when no code is left

A calendar for every occasion

Pick a theme and the colours, window shape, animated effect and texts are ready. You can then change everything, or apply another theme to an existing campaign without losing its content.

On your own images

With the « On an image » layout, windows sit wherever you want on a photo or an illustration: just a few windows, of different sizes, not necessarily aligned. Each window can have its own colour or image.
