thedaywefightback.js

Please feel free to make pull requests with any fixes, and leave suggestions and bugs on our issue page. We've tried our best to accomodate all browsers but will fix any remaining issues before the 11th.

thedaywefightback.js is a javascript snippet that automatically activates at midnight of February 11th and adds a banner to your site for 24 hours in support of thedaywefightback.org.

The goal is to drive as many phone calls and emails on the 11th. The calls are connected automatically by our call server for free thanks to Twilio.

If you own a website, no matter how big or small, you can be part of this.

Demo pages

View the US demo page or the international demo page - (unless explicitly set the banner uses GeoIP to detect your location).

Getting started

You can add the snippet to your site now - it won't be activated until midnight EST on February 11th and will remain active for 26 hours.

Simply copy and paste the code below into your website, right above the closing <body> tag.

Place the code below before </body> tag. The script loads asynchronously and won't affect page load times.

<!--[if !(lte IE 8)]><!-->
<script type="text/javascript"> 
  // @license magnet:?xt=urn:btih:0b31508aeb0634b347b8270c7bee4d411b5d4109&dn=agpl-3.0.txt GPL-v3-or-Later
  (function(){
    var e = document.createElement('script'); e.type='text/javascript'; e.async = true;
    e.src = document.location.protocol + '//d1agz031tafz8n.cloudfront.net/thedaywefightback.js/widget.min.js';
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(e, s);
  })();
  // @license-end
</script>
<!--<![endif]-->

The widget supports all screen sizes and platforms, if you encounter a bug please let us know on the issues page.

The counts will reset on the day, and only the additions on the 11th will contribute to the total.

Customize the banner

You can customize the preferences using a javascript object:

<script type="text/javascript"> 
  // @license magnet:?xt=urn:btih:0b31508aeb0634b347b8270c7bee4d411b5d4109&dn=agpl-3.0.txt GPL-v3-or-Later
  // The defaults are set below
  var tdwfb_config = {
    greeting: 'Dear Internet Users', // Sets the salutation at the top left
    disableDate: false, // If true, the banner shows even if the date is not yet 02/11/2014
    callOnly: false // If true, the banner only displays a form for calling congress
  };
  (function(){
    var e = document.createElement('script'); e.type='text/javascript'; e.async = true;
    e.src = document.location.protocol + '//d1agz031tafz8n.cloudfront.net/thedaywefightback.js/widget.min.js';
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(e, s);
  })();
  // @license-end
</script>

Other ways to install the banner

A Cloudflare app and Wordpress plugin will be added soon.
