ok I got it to work. Thanks Good one

The only problem is it appear twice

Same here. Twice, one under another


And if I refresh the page or change to another style and change back, the PM notification box disappear. Is it supposed to show only ONCE ? I haven't even clicked on the box yet.

already displays an image - pm_new.gif ($stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]) ... you can change the image by editing the gtpm_have_new_pm_popup_x_y phrase

if you manually entered $pmmessage in navbar remove it ...

yes, it should only appear once

Nice work! Didnt need to do a thing except upload the product! Well done! :)

seems to work great apart from i see no message, i get the box under the navbar everything seems good, i see the icon then colon : then nothing? - thats on my vBadvanced page... haven't tried anywhere else...WAIT, it works on forumhome, but not on my vBadvanced front page which is my sites main starting point... any global variables to add perhaps to my vbadvanced settings?

Also... would it be possible to include some styeling? like an option to colour the bar to highlight a new message or perhaps an option to show more information like time/date or whatever...pretty cool already though cheers

thanks it worked......love it

Works a treat. Thanks.

I sent mutiple PM's (3 to be exact) from another username numbering them 1, 2, & 3 only '3' showed up below the navbar, to read the others I had to open the PM as per usual. I've installed this on my test forum, but my members would be up in arms, unless the '1 time popup' was titled '3 new messages' or something similar.

Thanks Princeton, strange it now works very good without adding at the Botton the $pmmessage variable.
Nice hack, thanks for sharing :)
If you sharing too the vb.org style I like too hehehe

good, that's cause I updated the xml file
don't hold your breadth :D

Thank you very much Princeton

Install :)

Is there anyway to have this stay active until the messages have been read?

No, it will require more code ..

There's 2 ways to accomplish this: add 1 query globally or edit your global.php file .. neither one I like.

Thanks for your reply :)

how would I be able to add a query globally? also is it easy?

thank you very much thats a great mod :)


but i ve a problem
at default theme everything is normal but
my another theme
the user name and subject of the message didn't shown :(

can you help about this

most likely caused by another product/plugin installed on your site .. check any plugin that alters $newpm[username] and $newpm[title]

it's good...but not great, i'm sticking with my other one, cheers

Installed... great plugin... top draw... just need it 2 stay all the time till read... im gonna look at this

Cheers

installed, works a charm!

Thanks for this mod and your other mods as well...they all are great additions!

Thanks

lol:erm: is out there any 'gentle-soul' that would like to write that kind of code?:rolleyes::p


ty so much Princeton for your great works all of them are really superiors.

take care

ciao

Nice Add-on, I will not install, but I'll subscribe to this thread in case anyone will add the code so that it shows all the time until it has been read by the user. At that point, I would then install, but great job on this :up:

Installed! Very sa~Weet hack! Had some installation issues until I added $pmmessage as you said to do!

P.S. I agree with Dannyloski's suggestion btw.

Me too :D

Great job, Installed. :)

Popups annoy me a lot so I have them disabled for myself. This hacks makes me want to enable em again and I am sure my members will love it too.

Doesn't work for me, i don't even get anything shown. :(

is it working for 3.6.8?

Default placement $pmmessage after installed is under navbar,if I want move it to other place where I modify it.

I try added $pmmessage code under header but now I have 2 popup notification under header and under navbar,I would like to remove popup notification under navbar.

By the way great mod.

you have 2 notifications now because you have 2 $pmmessage .. you can remove the one in navbar

Yes you right but where I can found default $pmmessage,i try search on navbar template but I cant found it.

will this work on 3.6.2 ?

Works great on 3.6.8, thank you

it doesn't work for me (3.6.8) - I sent a test message to myself, and there was no alert. I made sure that I had Show New Private Message Notification Pop-up checked, and manually added $pmmessage to the bottom of my navbar template. no luck - any ideas? any known conflicts with other hacks?

I also have the same problem have ensured all settings are setup but still dose not work!

UPDATE:

• Fixed quote issue - title with quotes would appear with slashes eg. \"title\"
• there's no need to add $pmmessage

Having Problems?

• Make sure that your vBulletin Options / Instant Messaging Support - Check for New Private Messages is enabled.
• Make sure that the receiver of message has Show New Private Message Notification Pop-up checked.
• Test by sending private message to another user (not yourself).
• Duplicate alerts in navbar? Remove $pmmessage from navbar template.
• Prefer to have alert in header template? Manually add $pmmessage to the bottom of your header template and change $gtpmmessage = true; to $gtpmmessage = false; in "Replace PM Popup" plugin

Awesome. Thanks for the update. After editing the plugin 'Replace PM Popup' and setting "$gtpmmessage = false;". I was able to add $pmmessage to vbAdvanced global output variables and to the adv_portal template and now the notification shows properly under the vbadvance portal.

thanks for the update :up:

is there a way to make the message actually pop up in a new little mini screen? o.O

Cool, Thanks :)

it does not work for me.. i hv sent the message .. but no pop -up only new message recd. what is the problem. Thaks
