Nice one, like it more then my blinking message pm mod. I did change a few things though, since i like my codes clean.

Code:

        <if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']">

        <a href="private.php"><img border="0" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/newpm.gif"></a>

        </if>

In stead of a full url to private.php, the last will suffice (dont know if it will also work if you have a portal like vbadvanced, guess ill find out soon). Furthermore the image folder is now dynamic, so that the url will work no matter what style you use at that moment.

Also removed the width and height of the image url since its pretty much useless. An image will always be shown by their original sizes if no width or height is added.

Other then that, nice work. Small and clean, just the way I like it. :)

Where ever you want it, just make sure that the path is set accordingly as per the instructions.

Nice idea, I have a naasty habit of forgetfully skipping past my PM inbox, so this will come in handy... ;)

Make sure you upload the image and then modify the path (in the instructions) to point to it.

I absolutely LOVE this hack!
Is there any way to put the blinky right in front of the "Private Messages" line instead of above it?

eeps, n/m, figured it out...
in case anyone else wants to do the same:

Code:

                <div class="smallfont">

                        <strong><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]">$vbphrase[welcome_x]</phrase></strong><br />

                        <phrase 1="$pmbox[lastvisitdate]" 2="$pmbox[lastvisittime]">$vbphrase[last_visited_x_at_y]</phrase>

                        <br /><if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']">

                                <a href="http://www.****.com/forums/private.php?"><img border="0" src="http://www.****.comt/forums/images/newpm.gif" width="22" height="10"></a>

                                </if>

                        <if condition="$show['pmstats']"><br /><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></if>

                </div>

I'd add a screenshot, but everytime I try the newpm.gif doesn't show up *shrugs*

Thanks for presenting another option. I think the reason the newpm.gif isn't showing in your attachment is because it's animated but I think it's easy enough to get what you are saying. :)

I am using a custom icon! in a custom way. Normally the members avatar shows on the right hand side of the Welcome box, when they receive new mail, this shows (its animated but you can't see it in the screenshot).

Mine works...kind of.

I altered the path just a bit so the image went in the images/misc folder and it appears....BUT it wont stop blinking even if I have no new PM's.

Very strange. I'd rather deal with forcing myself to look for new PM's than deal with a constantly blinking pm

ericgtr

The following condition will only display it if you have an unread PM. Make sure you have the if statements in your template surrounding your altered image path.

Code:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']">

your code

</if>

I'll give it another try. Thanks!

I installed this, but just out of interest, what forum software or site first made that flashing mail icon? It's been around for years!

Mosh	04-08-2006 10:15 AM

I did it another way, but took the idea from this template mod, so am clicking Install. Thanks for the idea :)

Wouldnt it be easier to use vb urls instead of regular hyperlinks? Or are the normal hyperlinks safer? Lol sorry I'm a noob with this coding stuff and I've learned some php (I think so atleast) from looking at others work....here is what I'm talking about.

PHP Code:


		
			
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']">
    <a href="private.php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/newpm.gif" border="0" width="22" height="10"></a>
    </if>

I don't know about that one, it's someone elses version. However, the mod I posted does fully work and is in the text file.

It will show only when you have a PM and once you read it, it goes away until you receive another one :)

I understand that. But in my forum, it sometimes doesn't show up before the PM is read. It may be glitch of some sort. I am viewing on FireFox for Mac.

And I may have another hack that messes with it.
