Real-Time Engagement for XenForo Just Got a Massive Upgrade

I’m excited to announce the stable release of Social Proof Popups 1.6.0, which ships with major new features, UI improvements, multiple new themes, and full reaction tracking. After months of development and testing, this add-on is now production-ready and more powerful than ever.


What is Social Proof Popups?


Social Proof Popups brings your forum to life by showing real-time user activity in smooth, modern popup notifications. These popups help create momentum, increase trust, and encourage interaction.


Your visitors instantly feel: “Wow, this site is active!”


What’s New in 1.6.0 Stable

The add-on now listens for reaction events and displays:

Example:

This adds a whole new layer of engagement — reactions happen constantly, so the forum feels alive.


2. New Theme System (Big Upgrade!)


Version 1.6.0 introduces a complete theme framework with three fully new visual themes:


✔


High-contrast, modern, neon-style UI.

Soft, clean, airy theme perfect for light forums.

A frosted-glass, translucent style with depth and glow.

Social Proof Popups — Version 1.4.0 Beta

This update introduces several major improvements to real-time engagement tracking, frontend visuals, and event coverage across XenForo. Version 1.4.0 Beta significantly expands how activity is detected and displayed, introduces theming options, and enhances the overall polish of the popup system.

New Features
1. Light / Dark Theme Support (New Admin Option)

A brand-new theming system allows admins to choose between:

Dark theme (default)

Light theme

The option is located in the add-on’s settings and updates the popup UI instantly.
Both themes feature:

Custom color palettes

Adjusted pill badges

Theme-specific icons, shadows, and contrast

Full template + CSS integration

This makes the popup blend better with any XenForo style.

2. New Registration Tracking (user_register)

When a new user creates an account, the system now logs a registration event and displays messages like:

Mitch just joined the community.

Perfect for showcasing growth and making new members feel welcome.

3. New Thread Tracking (thread_create)

Whenever a member starts a new thread, a social proof event is logged:

Mitch just started a new thread: “Example Title”.

This promotes content discovery, encourages participation, and keeps your community feeling active.

4. Improved Template System (Automatic Popup Injection)

A new template modification automatically inserts the popup into:

PAGE_CONTAINER


This means:

No manual template edits required

The popup works out-of-the-box for all fresh installs

Compatible with all themes and child styles

This addresses the most common installation issue from earlier releases.

Enhancements
5. Cleaned-Up Event Messaging Framework

Additional event types were added and existing message logic was refined:

Clearer, more natural-sounding activity lines

Better username handling (anonymous mode supported)

Randomized rotation to prevent repetition

Stronger fallback logic when no events exist

6. DBTech Shop Integration Improvements

Shop tracking continues to improve:

Shop browsing (shop_view) refined

Better distinction between purchases and browsing

More stable self-tracking system independent of XenForo session activity

Fewer false positives and cleaner output

7. Popup Animation & Visual Polish

Subtle UI refinements:

Smoother motion

Cleaner shadows

Improved pill design

Better small-screen responsiveness

Tweaked typography for readability

Both dark and light themes were individually tuned.

Bug Fixes

Fixed entity extension conflicts with third-party add-ons (XFCP compatibility)

Resolved _postSave() signature mismatch issues

Corrected template include issues for new installs

Improved JS error handling for fetch failures

Fixed duplicated or empty messages when activity data was sparse

Smoothed out timing between refresh intervals and hide timers

Upgrade Notes

Safe to install over 1.2.x and 1.3.x

No database changes required

If upgrading from 1.2.0, manual template edits can now be removed

Refresh your browser cache to ensure CSS updates load

Review the new “Popup Theme” option under Social Proof settings

Summary

Version 1.4.0 Beta delivers the most polished and feature-complete update yet:

Clean, beautiful dark/light popup themes

Expanded event tracking for registrations and new threads

Improved shop integration

Better UX and message generation

Automatic template injection for effortless setup

This release brings your social proof system closer to a full real-time engagement engine for XenForo.
