Blinking PM message like here

[peterska2]

OK I've probably missed it somehow but I can't find it using search either here or at vBT but I'm sure it has been released.

Can anyone either provide the link to the release or rumble up some code that will work quick for me?

Cheers.

It was released, but not in this form.
I wuold also like to see the hack that this board uses.

There are some threads if you search on vBT for blink.

Here's one: http://www.vbulletintemplates.com/mods/showthread.php?t=5623&highlight=blink

EDIT: ahh this should be easy... no need for javascript as well...

Here it is by me :) :
Open up the navbar template and find:

<td class="alt2" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">


Replace with:

<td valign="top" class="alt2" <if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']">style="background-image: url(images/pmbg.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat;"</if> nowrap="nowrap" >


Replace the pmbg.gif with your image of use this one if its allowed..

Many many thanks. It works a treat.

Many many thanks. It works a treat.
no problem just make sure you ask for permission if you use this site's picture...

I thought I would play with this too, when I ran a UBB Treads board it had the cool flashing mail icon (it's animated) and I missed that so I added it back with a simple conditional.

Find this section:

2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></if>
</div>
</td>



Add this right under:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']">
Your blinking image or whatever goes here
</if>

feel free to use it, it's not that a creative gif to claim special copyrights i'd say ;)

here are a couple others to try. I like the blinking PM thingy, but I always thought it was weird how it says "PRIVATE MESSAG" and the E is cut off, so I redid the text sizing and spacing to be a bit easier to read.

Thanks Guy G and yoyoyoyo for the info and gif, works great! :)

::edit:: I didn't notice this thread was from Janurary. Sorry for bringing back an old thread.

Once installed, you need to edit the "global.php" file. Comment out the line that reads:

eval('$footer .= "' . fetch_template('pm_popup_script') . '";');


how
eval('$footer .= "' . fetch_template('pm_popup_script') . '";'); gif file exsample pls
