Change Userinfo Box on New Notification
 

This will change the Navbar where the userinfo is to a different color when a user has a unread private message, unread profile message, profile visitor message awaiting approval, incoming friends request, requests to join users social group or an invitation to join social groups.

This can be done with a simple template edit but I do this on so many forums I'm tired of doing the template edit every update. So this hack is born.

1.1 - Fixed the code to match 3.7 (thanks boofo for bringing it up)

Install Info:

1. Import the product.
2. done.

See SS for example.

How to change the style:

I used the td.inlinemod class for the color effect. If you wish to use your own just create some custom CSS and add it in the additional CSS field in you style manager for the styles you use. You could also add a background image in your custom CSS for other effect.

To change the CSS go into the options page for this hack and where it says replacment text change the following:


Now you would replace the text in red "inlinemod" to your custom CSS. Depending on your style it would look something like this.

Very nice!

Nice mod ... made a few CSS changes to suite my site but overall assessment of this is "Very Nice" and simple!!

Nice simple and very useful

I used This modification too. but now I have a problem in navbar view.

I attached the problem screen shot .

How should I changed the navbar to affect the complete color changing ?

no idea ?

Just change the css or what the mod is looking for in the template.

Had a issue but fixed after simply looking at it.

I had to use this:
because there was no valign in my code.

Thanks!

Yea that was just left over from vb 3.6 directions.

GREAT idea! I'll be using this for sure.

I like it. It makes getting notifications more exciting, lol.

This hasn't been fixed in this version yet. ;)

Ah. Good eye. I didn't notice it. Fixed!

This is an excellent mod, thank you. ;)

And also thank you for the great tutorial on automatic template changes. ;)

Is there an easier way to do them than building a file manually? That's the only way I could do it.

Does this only change the color? Or does this hack also makes that nice "Your notifications" box which I see in the screenshot?

Not sure what you mean.
That is from vbulletin 3.7

Does this version work with VBA CMPS? The previous version erased the notifications line when viewing the navbar with the CMPS. See screenshot.

When i try to download the XML it doesn't do anything... it just clicks. no download. am i doing something wrong?

Dunno. That is a problem with you and this site. Ask one of admins on here.

Strange. I can download all the other ones, just not this one. :(

Try this zip.

That worked! Thanks!

*clicks install*

Works perfectly! Thank you!!! :)

Thanks a lot for your nice touch. Installed and rated.

Since you are so on top of this little userinfo, can we ask you to add a forgot password checkbox to this script? We are getting quite a few alerts each week from members that cannot find the forgot password bit on the forum, and I admit that it isn't that obvious even for experienced users.

changing the css definitely makes the mode much better, that yellow just wasn't getting it. Thx again.

I just installed RC1, and I have to say... already extremely useful. :D

*click install

execllent! *clicks install* thanks for this one!

This only worked on the default vBulletin skin. Didn't work on dark_vb.
Any ideas why?

your html is probably different. You'll have to make it match.

I searched the navbar template of dark_vb and <td class="inlinemod" nowrap="nowrap"> is there.

I'd like to change the css color that shows instead of the yellow but I'm not sure how. Any help? Great mod BTW.

I too like it but would like a brighter color like flurescent green or pink to make it more visible. How is that done???

Never mind! I got it! I changed:

to:

And added this to the Additional CSS Definitions in Style Manager > Main CSS

Change the html to a class you want to use. Then add that class to the additional CSS.

Any idea on my problem?

You just need to find what the html is when you have a new notification and use that.

On one site I have a totally custom skin. This is what it looks like with a new notification.

All this takes is some css skills and a little bit of html.

Nevermind, i found something better, sorry for the trouble.

What did you find that could possibly be better than this?

Cracker Jack coding to the rescue. I guess I'm the only one who sees a problem with one how the "other" is doing it and two the plan just disregard to anything.

I should go make a you thanked hacked. Because its different from the thank you hack because its called you thanked. :/

nix, you have to realize that some coders can't seem to come up with their own ideas so they take someone else's and rework it into their own, when the idea they stole is actually better than what they come up with. ;)
