New PM Notification
 
I've decided to upgrade my existing Flashing Envelope mod and change it around a little for 3.6. To see how it will look, checkout the screen shot.

Upload the attached image newpm.gif to your images/misc directory.

In the navbar template
Find:
Code:
<strong><phrase 1="$vbphrase[pmpercent_nav_compiled]">$vbphrase[your_pm_box_is_x_full]</phrase></strong></if>
                </div>
                </td>
Place Under: (be sure to change to your forum path to /forum/private.php)
Code:
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']">
                <td class="alt2" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">
        <a href="/forum/private.php?$session[sessionurl]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/newpm.gif" alt="You have a new PM" border="0"></a>
                </td>
        </if>

BTW,

As it doesn't state, it is the NAVBAR template that you need to edit.

Well done Eric, very nice mod!

*Installed*

Yeah, I had to add that too, I would assume most forums would have it like that.

Also to keep in the old theme of the "blinking" notice, I made these real quick if anyone wants to use them, just rename it by taking of the number.

Cool, thanks. I've also added a note to change the path. :)

Nice one *klicks install* Perhaps there could be a little tweaking for the alt value for the image: It would be perfect, when it shows the Number of unread pms in it.

Where it says /private.php you will need to put in your forum path, for example if your site is www.yoursite.com/forum it will need to be /forum/private.php

StuntFactoryX 08-16-2006 01:21 PM
is there away to get in in the same box as the other pm info. i use a dark skin and it shows a border like its in its own box next to the standard pm info box.

Only if you are running your forum root on the public_html root. That's why I specified to change it to the specific folder the board is in.

How about changing the cells background color too?

Well, I think this will work (untested)

Change this:
Code:
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']">
                <td class="alt2" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">
        <a href="/forum/private.php?$session[sessionurl]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/newpm.gif" alt="You have a new PM" border="0"></a>
                </td>
        </if>
To this:

Code:
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']">
                <td class="pmbg" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">
        <a href="/forum/private.php?$session[sessionurl]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/newpm.gif" alt="You have a new PM" border="0"></a>
                </td>
        </if>
Now, add this to your CSS by going to Style Manager > Main CSS and scroll to the very bottoms, then paste this into the bottom box of the Additional CSS Definitions:

Code:
.pmbg
{
        background-color: #FFFFFF;
        color: #000000;
}
Change the colors around to fit.

ericgtr thanks for the assistance. I ended up reviewing the syntax of the code and wrote my own. I was able to come up with the following which is tested and works with vb 3.6.0


Code:
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']">
        <td class="pmbg" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">
<else />
        <td class="alt2" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">
</if>

There's no link to the image or to private.php in that code though, which is fine if that's your intention, all it will do is change the cell color.

jdk10 08-19-2006 10:13 PM
My intent only.

To change a bg color. Wow. Like you said anyone who knows a little about VB could do it. You didn't write anything about checking for the new PM or anything. If someone told me the hex for the color white text and I go create a hack changing text white, it doesn't mean they told me how to write the mod.

Uh.. Try looking at the first post, which you've abviously already done. Also .pmbg is what I shared with you here at your request and is what you are also using. Whatever dude, way to create your first mod.

Erox 08-31-2006 08:32 PM
SWEET! We had this function in our 3.5 version and we just upgraded and never bothered putting it back. I like yours much better too!

redlabour 09-22-2006 10:06 PM
It was nice if one Bug was fixed :

Some PMs are not displayed as new PMs with this Hacks.

1. Any Welcome-PM from vBulletin.

2. Any PM that was send with this Hack - Admin Mass PM Members

category 09-23-2006 06:10 PM
nice hack

user02934123123 09-25-2006 04:29 PM
Excellent and simple mod. Well worth the install. Many thanks.

Looks great...I think I will have to give it a try!

Thanks :)
