Descrição
The Internet Defense League is an online activist group organized to defend your online freedoms. When a bill is threatening to pass that would inhibit the way you live your online life, they put up the Cat Signal, a way to collectively black out or put notices on a large number of websites simultaneously.
This plugin adds the javascript for the Cat Signal to your site so you don’t need to mess with the code. It’s enqueued like any other javascript file and has an options page to select either the banner or the modal window option.
Events Supported

About the plugin
At first glance, it may appear that the plugin isn’t doing anything because you don’t have a banner or a modal window. Don’t panic!!! What this means is that all is safe in Gotham and the Cat Signal has not been activated (read: there probably isn’t an active IDL campaign running). To keep up to date on Internet Defense League campaigns, I recommend signing up for their mailing list (ed. note: I’m not affiliated with them at all, I’m just your friendly neighborhood internet activist). Once you’re on the list, you’ll get emails when they’re about to launch a campaign.

FAQ
- This plugin isn’t updated often. Did you abandon it?
-
This plugin is a very simple implementation of the javascript code provided by the Internet Defense League to add their campaigns to your site when they go out. It does one thing — load the javascript — and nothing else. The actual code required to load said javascript from the IDL hasn’t changed, so there has been no need to update this plugin — as long as their code remains the same, this plugin will still work.
The Cat Signal plugin is what could be considered “complete software”. There’s nothing else that needs to be done. There are no new features it needs, it does only one thing and nothing else, it’s just done. The only thing that I would be doing with each update is editing the readme file to change the version of WordPress it’s been tested up to and that’s not particularly high on my list of priorities, unfortunately.
- How do I know if it’s working?
-
If you’re savvy, you can check the HTML source of your site and check that either the
modal.jsis loading. If it is, you’re good to go, and the banner or modal window will work automagically when the IDL launch a new campaign.The
?_idl_test=1test URL is no longer supported, sadly.
