Background Color New PM Notification
 
I couldn't find a mod for changing the background of the welcome box when the member has a new PM, so I decided to write one. This is my first mod so be nice ;)

I have tested it with vB 3.6.0 and it works flawlessly.

In the navbar template
Find:
Code:
<td class="alt2" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">
Replace with:
Code:
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']">
        <td class="pmbg" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">
<else />
        <td class="alt2" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">
</if>

Next, go to Style Manager > Main CSS and scroll to the very bottom. Under Additional CSS Definitions add the following to the bottom box.

Code:
.pmbg { background-color: #33CCFF; color: #000000;}
Hit save and you are done.

Don't forget to click INSTALL

You may want to attach a screenshot for the unimaginative, just for future reference.

Ok thanks. Will do.

Awsome, is there a way i can make it flash back to white then back to blue and so on?

jdk10 08-21-2006 03:28 AM
Screenshot added.

@Ben Wilkins - The only way to do that would be with a javascript. I am not sure if vbarrays will allow javascript to be ran.

bolly.beats 08-23-2006 06:35 PM
cool buddy really Great :D

Well, not bad for your first, and I'll try to be nice. However didn't you get this from ericgtr's hack? Which I guess is cool too, that's how I'm learning, from other peoples work, but you should give credit to where you got the idea.

jdk10 08-26-2006 07:37 PM
He gave the code to change the background color. He didn't give any code to show if there is a new message or not. Its a stupid little hack to change the background color. 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.

hex color and changing the font color isn't quite the same thing, sorry, nice try. the table class: pmbg and adding it to the css was told to you by eric in his post. Basically you just took what he told you to do and made it your's without giving credit.

If this is what people want for their pm's great, you provided a seperate thread with this idea, but you didn't write it yourself, just released it after getting the info from eric.

Kirk Y 08-28-2006 06:20 PM
Who cares? It's all open-source anyway; technically you're stealing from the person who created PHP - or HTML, in this case. :p

Paul M 08-28-2006 07:14 PM
Who cares ? - the person who wrote it might care - you can't just go around copying other peoples code and releasing it as your own. I suggest you contact eric and ask. :)

Kirk Y 08-28-2006 08:09 PM
I believe it was already discussed in Eric's original thread - he didn't sound too happy, but he wasn't freaking out.

TheBlackPoet 09-06-2006 05:27 AM
I was hating that my members had to look up and see they had a msg TEN MINUTES AGO..... this is a great idea and my mems preciate it~

couldn't you use this code to set the background as a flashing .gif image? that would allow you to have it flashing

PoetJA-1975 10-17-2006 04:03 AM

TCE Killa 02-23-2008 01:47 AM
What would be cool is to make the background color flash on and off when a user has a new PM.

Hamednet 03-01-2008 04:10 PM
