Worked great and especially once I changed the background classes to alt1 & 2 except that I use the vB nav bar in my photopost gallery and it created all kinds of script errors. I had to uninstall but will be keeping this bookmarked for a stand alone board I'm working on next.

You can also keep an eye out at http://vbadvanced.com . They're coming out with a gallery that is seamless with vB and for less money.

//Installed

It's not working well with all skins :(

Hi all,

I am getting this broken code on my PM box...how do I fix it?

I am also getting an error on the page

Line 434
Char 1
Error: 'pmBox' is undefined
Code" 0

It's a broken conditional statement - probably you have an extra > inside your conditional?

Re-check your postbit / postbit_legacy modification.

Here is what I did so this mod works on every browser.

First, as usual open up the navbar template and find this.
You replace it with this.

That is all!


I replaced pmBox.bgColor with document.getElementById('pmBox').bgColor.

EDIT: Also this works with 3.0.3.

thnx dude.
works perfect on vb 3.0.3

Regards

Works like a dream

Works great in IE but not in Mozilla

Did you follow my updated instructions on how to make it work on all browsers?

Yes, I followed these instructions

small errors in the code above.. works great BTW

extra spaces have crept in at $styleva

:)

Fixed that, thanks

Thanking u,

Nevermind ... if I'd read the entire thread, I'd see what I was missing ...

LOL

Can anybody point out the color variables? I am not sure where to install the color codes in that section of code?

Got it working and looks great...will be a big help. Anyway to have it work with vbportal installed? My start page is vbportal and it doesnt notify through there. Any mod to get it working?

I have modified it to be like in vbulletin.org, no javascript is needed.

post is here if anyone wants it:

Thanks muchly appreciated

Thanks GaryW I like this feature alot and so do all my forum members. Great work.

I am trying to remove this as I found one I would rather use and cant find the code in my navbar template.. Weird. Yet it still works

Nice one :D

I couldn't get it to flash. It only changed the bg colour, didn't flash it back and forth.

EDIT: Got it working, just had some extra spaces in the code.

Thanks, looks tight.

I had it installed once, then had to re import stuff so lost my mods. I just did it again (like 3 times) and I'm not sure what I did wrong however, if you look at the attached screenshot you will see the problem.

It flashes just fine, but there is a little area to the right that doesn't flash. I can't seem to get rid of that little blank space. Can anyone please help?

Here is what my template looks like where I made the changes.

Edit 1:In the second attachment you can see a bit better how the table extends too far.

Edit 2: In the third attachment you can see a couple extra frames that I don't think should be there.

I read through the forum, but it didn't work.. I got this error:

line: 381
car: 1
error: 'pmBox' is undefined
Code: 0
URL: ...forumdisplay.php?f=3

even if I undo all changes. I still got that error.

What I did was, open dreamweaver, open file, "vbulletin-style.xml, I do a search replace & replace:

search:
<td class="alt2" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">
replace with:
<td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap" <if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']">id="pmBox"<else /> class="alt2"</if>>
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']">
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
<!-- blink navbar on new pms -->
document.getElementById('pmBox').bgColor='$styleva r[thead_bgcolor]';
setInterval("Timer()", 500);
x=1;
function Timer()
{
set=1;
if (x==0 && set==1)
{
document.getElementById('pmBox').bgColor='$styleva r[tcat_bgcolor]';
x=1;
set=0;
}
if (x==1 && set==1)
{
document.getElementById('pmBox').bgColor='$styleva r[thead_bgcolor]';
x=0;
set=0;
}
}
-->
</script></if>

nothing else is done. Now, I hate the error java script message. By the way, does this work for vb3.0.7?

I got it to flash, but if I want it to flash Red, and background color what do I change in the code? I did this:

<!--
<!-- blink navbar on new pms -->
pmBox.bgColor='thead_bgcolor';
setInterval("Timer()", 500);
x=1;
function Timer()
{
set=1;
if (x==0 && set==1)
{
pmBox.bgColor='$stylevar[red]';
x=1;
set=0;
}
if (x==1 && set==1)
{
pmBox.bgColor='$stylevar[thead_bgcolor]';
x=0;
set=0;
}
}

but it still flashes dark grey and light grey.

Yes I have it working on 3.0.7 Just not the color I want.

i've just installed the mod and it works perfectly.
thanks a lot.

Well I know it works as it's on one of the forums I visit but for the life of me I cant get it to work on mine.

Have I done something really dumb?

What's the problem you're getting? It just doesn't appear?

Thats rignt. There's no flashing? I wonder if I've put the code in incorectly? :confused:

Tested and working on version 3.5.0 Beta 4. :)

What version are you using? I'd say that's the case as many have reported it working on later 3.0x versions. Just double check over the added code.

I'm on 3.0.7 I'll revert back to the old code (before I modified it) and try it again. Glad I made backups :)

I wouldn't advise ever installing a modification and not making backups. ;)

Well I've redone the additions and it still doesn't work :ermm:

Are you making sure that you have unread messages and that when testing this? Tried sending new, fresh PM's and testing it like that?

That's the way I tested it. I sent myself a new message. :/ I just cant see where the code is different to that give here. :(
