Really simple but nice notifications for Unactivated Users and PM

Difficulty: Very Easy

Q. What does it do ??

A. Adds a nice simple text alert to unactivated members and notification for Private Message.

Q. Do I need this ??

A. Why install any plugins/hacks for prompting members to Activate their a/c or notifying them of a Private Message, when its soooo simple and can be done in not even a minute with just some minor template edits..!!

Template Edit: 2
1 for header template
1 for navbar template

Begins here:-

Open HEADER template and add this to the end (For alert to unactivated members):-

Code:

<center>

<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 3)"><strong>You must activate your a/c to access restricted features of Yoursite.com, <a href="register.php?do=requestemail" target="_top" style="color: red;">click here</a> to resend Activation Mail. If you suspect your email address is set wrong, you may edit it <a href="profile.php?do=editpassword" target="_top" style="color: red;">here</a>.</strong></if>

</center>

Note:- Replace Yoursite.com with your actual site's name

Open NAVBAR template (For PM notification)

Find:-

Code:

<if condition="$show['pmstats']"><br /><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></if>

Add After:-

Code:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']"><br /><strong><a href="private.php" target="_top" style="color: red;">You have New Private Message(s)</a></strong></if>

DONE !!!

Hope you like this one, very simple but really useful..
