View Full Version : Mini Mods - Non Redundant Notifications

This mod does 2 things:

1. Removes redundant notifications. Example: You don't need to know that you have 0 new visitor messages, so the notification box will not display this info. (attached image 1)

2. If the only notification you have is unread private messages, this plugin will display the old private message information instead of the new notification information. This saves a mouse click for your end users if they have PMs but no other notifications. (attached image 2)

Installation:

1. Import product-nrnotify.xml as a product.

Thats all!

Updates:

(05-16-2008) I've updated this mod as a product. Before updating please uninstall the previous plugin and revert your navbar_notifications_menubit template (if you installed version 1.0).

Please add the plug-in as a product.

Also include the template edit in the product, cache it, and overwrite the template navbar_notifications_menubit on real time.

$vbulletin->templatecache['navbar_notifications_menubit'] = $vbulletin->templatecache['navbar_notifications_menubit_new']; in the global_start hook!

This should really be a default for vB.

This should really be a default for vB.

I don't know. vBulletin probably wants to show off their new SN features and felt like this was the best way to do it. I can see users clicking on the notifications and thinking "Albums... what is that?"

It should at least be an option.

It brakes Notifications Background Image (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=175841).

If "Non Redundant Notifications" is activated the Image from the other Hack is not longer working.

Any fix?

You can use Cyb - PM Enhancements (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=177785) with this and the background color will still change, but I have not been able to get "Private Messages" to blink red.

The code to make it blink is in the cyb_pme_blink template. If someone figures out how to get it to blink, please let me know.

I figured out the blinking text as well...

I had to create two new "Global" phrases:

private_messages_blink =
<script type="text/javascript">
function blinkIt() {
if (!document.all) return;
else {
for(i=0;i<document.all.tags('blink').length;i++){
s=document.all.tags('blink')[i];
s.style.visibility=(s.style.visibility=='visible') ?'hidden':'visible';
}
}
}
</script>
<blink><a href="private.php{3}"><font color="#C00000">Private Messages</font></a></blink>

private_messages_nav_blink=
{1}, {2}.

Add the following to your headinclude template (set the time interval as you wish)=
<body onload="setInterval('blinkIt()',500)">

Then change your navbar as follows:

Change this:
<if condition="$show['notifications'] AND $show['popups']">
<div><span id="notifications"><a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[your_notifications]:</a> <strong>$notifications_total</strong></span></div>
<script type="text/javascript"> vBmenu.register("notifications"); </script>
<else /><if condition="$show['pmstats']">
<div><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></div>
</if></if>

To this:
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread'] AND $show['popups']">
<div><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[private_messages_blink]: $vbphrase[private_messages_nav_blink]</phrase></div>
<else /><if condition="$show['pmstats']">
<div><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></div>
</if></if>

Now this Non Redundant Notifications mod along with Cyb - PM Enhancement (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=177785) mod ... and the above, will get your background color changing and a red blinking "Private Messages" linked to your /private.php page.

I know this is a bona fide redneck hillbilly way of doing it, but it works for me in FF and IE... at http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums

Maybe someone can put all this together and make it easier. There is probably a way to get the color into the Javascript code as well, but I was getting lazy since what I've got now works.

Too much work for less Effect.

Obviously you don't have to use it if you don't want to. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2008/07/19.gif
