Simple Additional PM Notification

1 Attachment(s)

Hi guys,

This mod/hack gives you a very simple yet much more noticeable Private Message notification. When the user has any PM's a red box will be added to the header of your website notifying the user of a new PM. It has animated text which is shown in the .gif screenshot attached below.

=|= Install =|=

Open Template - header

Add at Top -

Code:

<!-- Private Message Alert -->

<style type="text/css">

.alert {

    background-color:#F00;

    width:100%;

    height:30px;

    color:#fff;

    font-size:14px;

    display:block;

}

.alert p {

    padding:5px;

}

.alert a {

    color:#ccc;

    text-decoration:none; 

}

</style>

<vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo[pmunread]">

<div class="alert">

<p><span style="text-decoration:blink; font-weight:bold;">ATTENTION! {vb:raw bbuserinfo.username}</span> You've got {vb:raw bbuserinfo.pmunread} unread private message(s), click <a href="private.php">here</a> to view.</p></div>

</vb:if>

<!-- Private Message Alert End -->

Demo: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...5&d=1304172078

Simple, yet very effective, i just felt my forum needed something that stood out a bit more but didn't want anything massive.

Enjoy! And please remember to mark as installed for future updates and support!

Great, thank you

When you read new message notification is still on, this would be perfect if notification would dissapear when you open new message
Anyways great mod, installed, nominated, rated

This for me as well, it stays on, also, Is there any way to adjust the size of the box, when I edit the 'width' parameter, it only subtracts from the right, and I have tried to center it, but nothing I do seems to work. Any thoughts on this? Also great mod and marked as well, nice work mate:up:

***I answered my own question**** Very simple, justput a <center></center> around your <vb></vb> ******
Still wish it would go away after your in your message area

Im sure that works as well, I just set my width and put <center> tags around the <vb> part of it, and bingo bongo. Thanks for the extra help though, always good to know more than one way..

MrAd	06-03-2011 09:18 AM

it look like a greta modification, can somebody adjust it to 3.8.x ?

boydy

06-03-2011 05:35 PM

I'll sort it out for you mate shortly, some things to do first.

boydy

Ok, without testing MrAd try this,

Template - Header

Add to top:

Code:

<!-- Private Message Alert -->

<style type="text/css">

.alert {

    background-color:#F00;

    width:100%;

    height:30px;

    color:#fff;

    font-size:14px;

    display:block;

}

.alert p {

    padding:5px;

}

.alert a {

    color:#ccc;

    text-decoration:none; 

}

</style>

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[pmunread]">

<div class="alert">

<p><span style="text-decoration:blink; font-weight:bold;">ATTENTION! $bbuserinfo[username]</span> You've got $bbuserinfo[pmunread] unread private message(s), click <a href="private.php">here</a> to view.</p></div>

</if>

<!-- Private Message Alert End -->

Should work fine...

MrAd	06-04-2011 04:05 PM

thanks works smooth!, only question how can I make this align center ?

boydy

06-05-2011 02:51 PM

Add margin: 0 auto; to the alert class, or copy below;

Code:

.alert {

    background-color:#F00;

    width:100%;

    height:30px;

    color:#fff;

    font-size:14px;

    display:block;

    margin: 0 auto;

}

ok i would like something a bit different: mean i would like that instead of the pop-up window, the new message notification might happen via AJAX in an html layer since i tihnk most of modern users have some sort of pop-up blocker on; there is any mod for CMS that does this?

boydy

07-09-2011 07:30 AM

Difference is, this isn't a popup so no popup blocker will touch it.

For performance purposes, would dropping the CSS portion of the code into the additional.css template work?
