After numerous complaints from members at my board that people never checked that there pm box was full, I had to take action, especially as they were bugging me :D

This hack allows a user to select in options if they wish a popup box to appear when there pm box is full. There is a fair number of files to edit and a new template and two minor modifications to a couple, but well worth it in the end.

its possible to make it so, that you get EVER a popup if the pm box is full?

firefly, how you have edit it?

Hm, my global.php in 2.2.4 seems to look like different:

$newpmmsg=0;
$headnewpm='';
if ($checknewpm and $bbuserinfo['userid']!=0 and $bbuserinfo['pmpopup']==2) {
if ($noshutdownfunc) {
$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET pmpopup=1 WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]");
} else {
$shutdownqueries[]="UPDATE LOW_PRIORITY user SET pmpopup=1 WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]";
}
$newpmmsg=1;
$latest_pm = $DB_site->query("SELECT p.privatemessageid AS pm_popup_id, p.title AS pm_popup_title, u.username AS pm_popup_username FROM privatemessage p, user u WHERE messageread = 0 AND touserid = $bbuserinfo[userid] AND p.fromuserid = u.userid ORDER BY dateline DESC");
$hack_pm_total = $DB_site->num_rows($latest_pm);

what to do?? :disappointed:

Can somebody tell me what the chances of this hack working on 2.0.3? Whenever there are MySQL querys for me to run I am always hesitant about running them and then having it now work.

Is there a pretty good chance that my code will be the same as in the instructions? :nervous:

yeah theres a very good change, the sql query will be the same, but make a backup of member.php, global.php and /admin/functions.php just in case.

Yup. I had the same problem when I first installed this many versions ago, and have since removed this hack.

Can anybody help me on this ??

You haven't run the database query to insert the "pmpopupfull" into your database. Read the instructions.

Nice hack, but could somebody tell me how to have it set to on as default instead of off please ?

Thx ;)

I'd also like to install this feature, but with the changes that removes the option for users.

I don't really know php yet but I've tried a few things and found that it didn't work.

Can anyone help me and the other members looking for the changes to the code which will remove the option and make it effect all users?
