Simple Unread PM Notification

Simple Unread PM Notification
Tested with vBulletin 3.0.x, 3.5.x, 3.6.x

Very easy modification. Although it isn't as fancy as some, this template modification is meant for those that just want a simple and attractive notification that is... well... noticeable. It should be able to easily integrate into your design as well as easy to install.

I have a User CP Modification coming in the next month or so, which is of course more complex than this modification.

Release (final 1.0.0):
+ Displays only if the Member has a Unread PM
+ Tell the Member how many pms are unread.
+ Provides link to private.php for fast access.
+ Is displayed (if active) on virtually every forum page.

Instructions/Installation: Very Easy

In the Style Manager, open the template "navbar" and find the following code:
<!-- / nav buttons bar -->

<br />


Add this code directly below:
<if condition="$bbuserinfo[pmunread]">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="thead"><a href="private.php"><div style="text-decoration:none;">You currently have $bbuserinfo[pmunread] Unread Private Message(s)! Click Here!</div></a></td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />
</if>
------------------------------------
And then Save, as you're done! Enjoy the the simple notifier!

Exactly why I made it for PSBeyond.com 's forums. It was requested for something to help notice PMs, and something liek this does help :)

I posted it here as it is useful for anyone wanting some that is very simple and not requring of additional backend coding.

Enjoy! Also, to anyone who hasn't, make sure you click install for I might be adding a new version sometime soon.

If anyone needs help, I'm the new support of this mod. The original is on an old license that I cannot gain access to edit the thread.

Not that support is really needed, but still. Thanks for compliments, glad it could help :) It really helps the community I originally made it for.

If you have any feature requests, please add them in your reply.

Thanks for sharing mate - much appreciated. These simple little modifications always seem to be the best. :P

would you be able to take a look at this - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=97702

And modify it if needed as it doesn't seem to work on my site (version 3.6.8) and I could do with that as I own a computer forumz site.

Regards Jason :)

Being that is another person's mod, I cannot directly give support. What I'd assume is that the conditionals is the issues, but for something more specific, you'll have to ask in that thread and hope for an answer. Sorry!

Thank you, simple is what I was aiming for! :)

If you still need help, the answer would be to just add the code at the bottom of navbar
