I have a completly hacked board and just upgraded to a newer vbb version, the old board had the same problem as this one stating:

the pm popup does not work

the <body onload...... is there
the query works to set the pmpopup back to 1

but there is no javascript for the popup

I heard the msn hack can interfere with the pmpopup.
I have installed the msn hack but i don't know where to find it so i can delete it and try again....

Do you have the PM popup enabled in the options in the admin cp?

Yes it's turned on everywhere i even checked on Database level when send someone a PM it sets pmpopup to 2 for popup

the body tag gets an onload()

the pmpopup is being set to 1 again for no popup

but i never see a popup :(

The javascript is in the head_newpm template, just revert this to the origional if you think this has changed, which msn hack is it you have installed?

That may be the problem as this is also javascript based, try removing this and see if it works then ;)

Check your code in forum/global.php with the origional version between these lines, this deals with PM popups:

$newpmmsg=0;

and:

eval("\$headnewpm = \"".gettemplate('head_newpm')."\";");
}

I don't think that the onload() bit is required, i can't find it on my site or in the source code for the home page.

The onload() bit is needed to start the function but hack i'll rewrite it :)

And will answer back here ASAP

Thnx for the idea to ignore the onload and the function stuff :)

Solution

head_newpm (template) is now:

<script language="JavaScript">
input_box=confirm("You have a new private message. Click OK to view it, or cancel to hide this prompt.");
if (input_box==true) { // Output when OK is clicked
second_box=confirm("Open in new window?\n\n(Press cancel to open your Inbox in the current window.)");
if (second_box==true) {
window.open('private.php?','pmnew','width=600,heig ht=500,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,toolbar=yes,loca tion=yes,directories=yes,resizable=yes,top=50,left =50');
} else {
window.location="private.php?";
}
} else {
// Output when Cancel is clicked
}
</script>
