A good way to learn if your anti-adblock messages are working is to track the adblock status in Google Analytics.  This small bit of javascript will send change notifications to an already installed and enabled Google Universal Analytics.

Add this code to your System - Ad Block Reactor plugin, in a new "Change Action" item.

document.addEventListener('ABREvent',function(e){
var label = Joomla.getOptions('plg_system_adblockreactor').lastreport===null?'detected':'changed';
var value = window.adblockreactor.vars.lastreport?'enabled':'disabled';
ga('send', 'event', 'adBlocker', label, value);
},false);

You should see something like this when you're done:

After your users have a chance to react to your requests to turn off their ad blockers, you should see some data like this in Google Analytics:

Why is this software free?

I’m ditching the freemium game and giving this software to the Joomla crowd for free. It’s a nod to “Jumla”—Swahili for “all together”—because fragmentation sucks, and I’d rather focus on innovation and paid gigs. Use it, build with it, and if you need custom work, I’m super into that.

What's The Catch?

There isn’t one! I’m all about building tools that empower the Joomla community and spark creativity. This software’s free because I’d rather see it in your hands - fueling awesome projects. If you really feel like paying something, I’d appreciate a review in the Joomla Extension Directory—your feedback means a lot!
