vb.org Archive - Private Messages Enhancements - Simple Additional PM Notification

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 -->

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!
