Show new/unread PMs on forum index

[Jungleman]

How about a hack that lists all new or unread PMs on the forum homepage, above or below the forum listings? This way it's less clicks :)

Who's up for the challenge...:)

there is a very fast way without having much work ^^

go to your privat.php and copy the section
// ############################### start get folder ###############################
into your index.php just before eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('forumhome')."\");");

just change the if ($action=="getfolder") {
to if ($bbuserinfo[userid]!=0)) {

then just add $privatemessages into your forumhome template

ok it's not perfect you can optimize very much because some parts of the code aren't needed, also you'll have to make more template mods to get it into a nice form ;)

but it should do the trick

Isn't working-- I did what you told me to and it says it's missing the makefolderjump function, but when I paste that in it shows the person's PM box and ONLY the PM box on the front page.

Anyone else? :(
