I have a customer who needs a popup box. They should be able to configure it in the content section (text, color, width, height etc...).
Im thinking that I would build a generic popup box, that I can use for other similar customers - thinking of making it as a package that i can install. When the popup is installed its site-wide.
Im wondering what will be the best approach for this. Right now im thinking on making a DocumentType with all the settings and no template. And allow the user to insert those below the front page (umbracoNaviHide = true)
Then I would make a partial view that handles all the markup and Javascript. In the top of the partial view I would traverse the content tree for a node (lets assume that there is only one). Read the settings and then have my partial view render these data (text and settings) into the partial view.
Is this a good approach or am I missing something. Is there a better approach for doing this?

Is this the best approach?
