ooo nice hack! i will install now that I saw the Screenshot

spectacular hack! thanx so much! no problems here!

;)

1st one to install again

for some reason it isnt displaying properly for me

i made the changes to index.php and i added the code to the template

what could it be?
(top hack by the way) :p

forget what i said
im an idiot

its because i was logged in as an admin

if you log in as a plain old registered user, it works fine
:cry: :cry:

cheers

Nice :) I installed it without the image (just the % message) - tidy work!

great hack. i was going to make this one tomorow. (i've seen it on phpbb few hours ago and thought it was cool). ;) Great job!

:up:

How's that for service? :pleased:

I posted this and less than 3 hours later you got that hack up :up:

I think this is a great hack but a little intrusive. It takes a lot of space heightwise. Can you make it hide and have it appeared only when user reaches a certain level, then it will become permanent as to remind him to clean mailbox in order to get rid of that annoyance?

This way everyone needs not to see it?

Once again, thanks for that hack... :D

you may as well use the popup on full inbox hack for this....it will do a better job at what you want

No way. Yours is what I have been looking for. Anyway, I changed the template a little to include the message into the Private Message <td>. I gain some space also by making the bar 4 pixels height. :D

very nice worked fine 4 me m8

Nice one!

But it takes much space!
To questions/requests:

1) Bar color changes after a specified %
like: 0-50% = green
50-85% =yellow
85-100% = red

2) How can I move the disply into the PM Box?
I want it to display below the messages and above the buttons!
The insert into the template is not the prob but I can´t find the place to put the filecode in so that it displays the % ;-)

Any Ideas?

hopefully this works aint tested it yet ;)

0-50% Green Bar
50-75% Yellow Bar
75-100% Red Bar

Wow! That was fast! hehe

THX

But do you have an Idea how to manage point 2??
Until then I will not use the graphics cause it uses to much space in main forum (My board is large enough hehe)

But I like it! ;)

Greetings

StarBuG

also it worked great for me, thanx!

whats ur board URL bug?

It´s not for public sorry ;-)

Greetings

StarBuG

nice :)

thanks :)

I had the same problem... what I did was changing the template to place the message into the title bar and change the image size to 4, and reposition the gauge directly under the title bar. Still some space but reduce drastically. See attachment.

a copy of my pmloggedin template. It also contains the pm blink hack. If you want to use it, you might want to change the blink color.

Great Idea Lionel! I just did that and it definetly saved space!

your second zip works for me. Could you please drop a code saying :
if if pm<10%
then do not show bar
else show bar?

this way people not using the pm do not have to see the unused bar....

Thx!

But what about moving it into the pm overview (point 2 of my requests)??

Any ideas??

Im not entirly sure were you want it too display....checkout this screenshot and if its what you want download the next attachment

attached

that is the best location yet!

Hehe!!

That´s it!!

But I have a Problem:

I have set max pm´s to 100
I have 8 PM´s in Inbox
35 in Outbox
and 5 in Msg tracking

But your Status indicator says: Your Mailbox uses 8% of space

That is not correct I think! hehe

Any suggestions?

I think it only counts the messages in ur PM box, the hack works great for me. stop finding bugs in everything starbug! :mad:

lol

great location! Just 1 problem, view link:

u'll see it, its where my mouse is, a big black block at the end of the pm inbox:

I think the hack only counts pm?s in the inbox!

But it would be good to count pm?s in outbox and maybe in msg tracking too!

Cause they are also counted for the pm limit! ;)

@Shenlong: Set your colspan 1 higher ;)

Greetings

StarBuG

Oops, Starbug said it all. :)

Im not sure...I thought it was just limited to your inbox, maybe someone can verify

find the 2 places it says colspan="6" and change them too colspan="7"

I installed this version. Very cool, BB! :)

Yup, just tested. The quota includes messages in inbox, sent folder and all other folders you create. You can continue sending messages even when you've reached the quota, thus adding to the sent items and going above your quota.

all fixed, thanks! works great

I don´t get it!

Is the hack only calculation the inbox space??
Is there already a fix and i missed it?
And if not! Why do I have only 8% usage if i have 48 mails in my folders and set the limit to 100???

Greetings

StarBuG

Notice that the message says in your inbox ? And not in your total folders :o
