Hello
I am currently using this code as a plugin hooked to global_start and calling it in the NAVBAR template with it's variable;

ob_start();
?>
<center>
<html>
<body>

<?php

$sql = mysql_query("select count(*) from songrequests where req_status <= 1");
$row = mysql_fetch_row($sql);
if($row)
if ($row[0] == 1) {
echo "<a href='SongRequests.php'>There is $row[0] Song Request Waiting</a>";
} elseif ($row[0] > 1) {
echo "<a href='SongRequests.php'>There are $row[0] Song Requests Waiting</a>";
}

?>
</html></center>
<?php
$countsr = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

How can I just make the notification show up in the Notifications dropdown?
Thank you

In place of your plugin, you could create a plugin using hook notifications_list and code like:

$sql = mysql_query("select count(*) from songrequests where req_status <= 1");
$row = mysql_fetch_row($sql);
if($row)
{
if ($row[0] == 1) {
$msg = "There is $row[0] Song Request Waiting";
} elseif ($row[0] > 1) {
$msg = "There are $row[0] Song Requests Waiting";
}
$notifications['countsr'] = array(
'phrase' => $msg,
'link' => 'SongRequests.php',
'order' => 20
);
$vbulletin->userinfo['countsr'] = $row[0];
}
