Private message Animation
 

This cool little mod will simply enhance and add some fun to your Private Message alert and adds a little flash animation to the bottom right corner of your board. The flash mail box can then be clicked and will redirect to your private message box. Animation is based on forum home page but can easily be added to display on any page required or indeed every page and will dissapear when mailbox is read.

Added new MSN Style Pop up alert box

If anyone has a different path and needs this altering in the swf and fla please post and i will arrange this asap - thanks

Thanks :)

You have set wrong path to the swf file :)

path is forum/private.php if you use different path is not possible to access the private.php

And there is no .fla

Is this hack negative for the performance?

load the swf as you wish

<!-- mail -->
<vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo[pmunread]">
<a style="display:scroll;position:fixed;bottom:-40px;right:-20px;" title="Click Here - new message!">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="/path-to-your/you-got-mail.swf"
width="150" height="250">
<param name="movie" value="/path-to-your/you-got-mail.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high"/>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"/>
</object>
</vb:if>
<!-- end of mail -->

aslong as it loads to forumhome - the fla is edited to /forum/private.php so it gets the url from that

:( That scared the crap out of me.

Hahaha

not work 4.0.2 :(
Here is the code I added

you changed the red paths to suit your swf file ? yes

That will place the swf on the forumhome page. you can change the position via the green code

<!-- mail -->
<vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo[pmunread]">
<a style="display:scroll;position:fixed;bottom:-40px;right:-20px; " title="Click Here - new message!">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="/path-to-your/you-got-mail.swf"
width="150" height="250">
<param name="movie" value="/path-to-your/you-got-mail.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high"/>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"/>
</object>
</vb:if>
<!-- end of mail -->

if the url linking from the swf needs changing you can do it via the fla attatched or pm me ill change it for you

it is currently set assuming your board is

www.yoursite.com/forum/private.php

you can see for yourself what template forumhome?

i see you renamed the swf to "mail" and is the path correct to the swf?

whats the path to your board - forumhome

I have created the correct path to mail.swf.But it is not..You can pm yahoo: buiquockhanh276

Not on my site and others i have it on as its only there until you read pm

Resolved

Nice one

what do I do with you-got-mail.fla ?

Nothing if your path to your private.php is

www.yoursite.com/forum/private.php

as the relevant path in the fla is set to link straight to your members inbox

thanks and installed

Hello my path shows forums not forum so what do i need to change and how do i do it thanks

hia

firstly change the path to the swf to suit your forums of the two instances that say "/path-to-your/you-got-mail.swf" in red

the green is just the positioning which you can leave

<!-- mail -->
<vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo[pmunread]">
<a style="display:scroll;position:fixed;bottom:-40px;right:-20px;" title="Click Here - new message!">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="/path-to-your/you-got-mail.swf"
width="150" height="250">
<param name="movie" value="/path-to-your/you-got-mail.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high"/>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"/>
</object>
</vb:if>
<!-- end of mail -->

then change the fla path to your private.php path - if you havnt any idea how to edit an fla then tell me your forum path first

if you still have a problem ill edit the fla to suit your board so it works.

this Mod is not working in the default style but it's working in another style;
I wonder why ?

edit

found the cause; me bad lol

hello i sent you a pm if could please edit the file for me thanks

Ok steve.......... having looked at your board root you need the following code added. I will edit the fla for you so the link gets your private.php. I will edit the fla to suit "forums" and attatch the file asap.

The mod now has the attatched "you-got-mail.swf" to suit your board being "forums" so anyone who's board has "forums" rather than "forum" choose the relevant zip.

Hope this fixes the problem Steve

very nice
thnx 4 sharing :)
installed in 30 seconds with no problem

its not working on my site
i am installed this code but not working
www.dadasongs.com

With the path your board currently sits on you will need to add the following code to place the swf on site.........

This should be fixed

its working but after click image url go to http://www.dadasongs.com/forum/private.php
when the my url is http://www.dadasongs.com/private.php
how solve it ????

ok download the zip i have attatched in this post. I have edited the fla file to suit your board. Simply upload to your froum and overwrite the one you used previously. everything else is the same.

Thanks Bro
its working:)

thanks that worked brilliant thank you

Then I get to have the same url as you have done for this post, but with http://www.alra7ba.info/zip/mail2.swf
My site is http://www.mysite.com/private.php
Thank you in advance
Sorry for my English, I'm french

Then your code would be the following:

That is after you have unzipped the mail2.swf of course.

Then you should be fine

is there an update to this Mod ?

btw this Mod does not work in Safari

I will look into asap

Thank you, but we we are misunderstood.
its working but after click image url go to http://www.mysite.com/forum/private.php
