I also have the vbAdvanced issue. I wrote code that changed the link to /forumURL/private.php when you are on the homepage but it still didn't work.. I'm pretty new to writing php.

I wrote a quick fix that seems to work for me.. but I'm not responsible if it screws up your forum!!

It just repeats the default command and shows "Private Messages: x Unread, x Read"
in your navbar template find:

PHP Code:


		
			
<br />

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

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

Replace With:

PHP Code:


		
			
<br />

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'adv_index' OR defined('VBA_SCRIPT')"><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase><else />

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

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

waiting patiently for a real fix :ermm:

I am going out to a club so I guess you guys can huck that up...
thanks.

was this for me?
If so I just replace what was asked in the hack I assume

@ T3MEDIA

Replace

PHP Code:


		
			
ORDER BY user.usergroupid ASC

with

PHP Code:


		
			
ORDER BY user.usergroupid ASC LIMIT 0,3

that will limit the PMs shown to the first 3, after they see the first 3, the next 3 will be shown.

The hack will be updated with some enhancements soon.

@ TonysDesigns, try this (untested).

find:

HTML Code:

<if condition="$show['pmstats']">

replace with:

HTML Code:

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

How about making the flashing gif be hotlinked as well?

ya, i'm using this with cmps.

i made a couple of changes and used a phrase. (changes in bold)

i've been running this for awhile now with no issues.

Code:

// blinking PM & details hack...

if ($bbuserinfo['pmunread'] > 0)

{

        $getmessages = $DB_site->query("

                SELECT pmtext.pmtextid, pmtext.fromusername, pmtext.fromuserid, pmtext.dateline, pm.pmid, user.userid, user.usergroupid, 

                        COUNT(pmtext.fromuserid) AS fromusertotal FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "pmtext AS pmtext 

                        LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "pm AS pm USING(pmtextid) 

                        LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user ON (user.userid=pmtext.fromuserid) 

                        WHERE pm.userid=$bbuserinfo[userid] AND messageread=0

                        GROUP BY pmtext.fromusername ORDER BY user.usergroupid ASC

        ");



        while ($privatemessage = $DB_site->fetch_array($getmessages))

        {

                $usertotal = $privatemessage['fromusertotal'];

                if ($usertotal  == 1)

                {

                        $privatemessagebit .= ', <a href="/forums/private.php?'.$session['sessionurl'].'do=showpm&pmid=' . $privatemessage['pmid'] . '">' . $privatemessage['fromusername'] . '</a> - ' . vbdate($vboptions['dateformat'], $privatemessage['dateline'], true);

                }

                else

                {

                        $privatemessagebit .= ', <a href="/forums/private.php?'.$session['sessionurl'].'do=showpm&pmid=' . $privatemessage['pmid'] . '">' . $privatemessage['fromusername'] . '</a>(' . $privatemessage['fromusertotal'] . ')';

                }



                $from_group = 'imsg.gif';

                if (in_array($privatemessage['usergroupid'], array(5,6,7)))

                {

                        $from_group = 'imsg2.gif';

                } 

        }



        $privatemessagebits = substr($privatemessagebit , 1);



        $privatemessages = '<img style="vertical-align: middle;"  border="0" src="'.$stylevar['imgdir_misc'].'/' . $from_group . '" alt="You have a PM!" /> from ' . $privatemessagebits;

        $vbphrase['blinkpm'] = construct_phrase($privatemessages, $privatemessages);

}

and then the updated template change for the phrase:

Code:

<br />

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']"><phrase>$vbphrase[blinkpm]</phrase><else />

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

hope that helps.

Works nice in my forums, but it would be even better if it would work in vBadvanced CMPS.

Thank you BiggKay... much appreciated... Looks like a HUGE mod.

Would that nullify my style that I currently use or would it 'merge' into it?

It will also take you directly to the PM without having to go to your inbox first..

it says in the description, but that isan't working for me, and must not be for the two people who commented that it would be nice to hot-link the gif .... Are we all missing something? How does it link to the message?

trulylowcarb

04-03-2005 06:35 AM

Oh DUH, it is linked to the sender's user name only, so I just ASSumed that was a link to their profile!

With that last fix for CMPS, and the addition of , click to view added just after $privatemessage['fromusername'] . ' this is working pefectly, and my users will be able to figure it out, too - THANKS!

i tried that fix for cmps, but it didn't work for some reason, it's still not showing up.

edit: nvm, i fixed it lol.

:Judge:

05-25-2005 03:21 AM

I know this is going to be asking a lot but here is my lousy two cents. I love this idea and when I first installed it I thought it was great, easy and very useful.

After you start getting a handful of PMs it gets messy, I did see and use the limit mod a couple of pages back and that was cool but whats the point of more listings when your already in your PM box after replying the first message. So how could the link be just set up some like (next to blink) "New PM" linked just to your well inbox. Total of PMs next to "New PM" would be super.

Linking the image to your in box is also a good idea, that would be nice too.

The image color depending on member or staff is a great idea, could this be kept while just linking to in box without senders name?

I know this is alot and if i could do it I would thought if I put the idea out there maybe one of you pro coders could bust it out within mins.

Wicked, worked without a hitch and its a very very cool tool to have.

mustang_lex

06-06-2005 06:40 PM

What I did Judge and may not apply to you , but I made the flashing email icon linkable to the members inbox (main PM center) with "alt" text saying "Go To The Inbox. This is so the member has the ability to either read the specific PM from the sender or enter his/her inbox.

This is what i edited.

Open /global.php

Find the all ready hacked code from the main hack

Quote:

$privatemessages = '<img style="vertical-align: baseline;" border="0" src="'.$stylevar['imgdir_misc'].'/' . $from_group . '" width="16" height="15" alt="" /> from ' . $privatemessagebits;
}

and replace with

Quote:

$privatemessages = '<a href="private.php?"><img alt="Go To Your Inbox" style="vertical-align: baseline;" border="0" src="'.$stylevar['imgdir_misc'].'/' .

$from_group . '" width="16" height="15" alt="" /></a> from ' . $privatemessagebits;
}

Simple yet effective. I hope this helps. :squareeyed:
