Private Messages Enhancements - TW7S - New Way To Display Notifications (jQuery,CSS,jGrowl)

Description:
This mod changes the way notifications are displayed. It disables the default dropdown menu listed in the toplinks in the header and uses a free open script called jGrowl to display them on the bottom left of the screen no matter where you are on a page. Helps with people "not noticing" the notifications. Enjoy. TheWindows7Site

Instructions:

1) Upload files in attachment to forum root

2) Open template headinclude

Paste the following code at the bottom

<!-- TW7S - New Way To Display Notifications (jQuery,CSS,jGrowl) --> 
    <script type="text/javascript" src="jscripts/tw7s_notifications/jquery-1.4.2.js"></script> 
    <script type="text/javascript" src="jscripts/tw7s_notifications/jquery.jgrowl.js"></script> 
    <link href="jscripts/tw7s_notifications/jquery.jgrowl.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
<!-- TW7S - New Way To Display Notifications (jQuery,CSS,jGrowl) -->

3) Open template header

Find the following:

				<vb:if condition="$notifications_total">
				<li class="popupmenu notifications" id="notifications">
					<a class="popupctrl" href="usercp.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase your_notifications}: <span class="notifications-number"><strong>{vb:raw notifications_total}</strong></span></a>
					<ul class="popupbody popuphover">
						{vb:raw notifications_menubits}
					</ul>
				</li>
				<vb:else />
				<li class="popupmenu nonotifications" id="nonotifications">
					<a class="popupctrl" href="usercp.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase your_notifications}</a>
					<ul class="popupbody popuphover">
						<li>{vb:rawphrase no_new_messages}</li>
						<li><a href="private.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase inbox}</a></li>
					</ul>
				</li>
				</vb:if>

Replace with:

<!-- TW7S - New Way To Display Notifications (jQuery,CSS,jGrowl) --> 
<vb:if condition="$notifications_total">
<script type="text/javascript">

$.jGrowl('{vb:raw notifications_menubits} <br />You must view your notification(s) before this box will disappear.' , { sticky: true, header : 'New Notification(s)' } );

</script>
</vb:if>

<li><a href="private.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase inbox}</a></li>
<!-- TW7S - New Way To Display Notifications (jQuery,CSS,jGrowl) -->

Done!

Have fun customizing this to fit your needs.

[thenashy]

I have it working on 4.1.10 with the original steps. I didn't need the above fix, it just worked.

[Jpolola]

Installed ! Work without adding a code to header and headinclude. vb4.1.8 Thank you

[thenashy]

Is there a way to close the popup without reading?

[baghdad4ever]

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.2/jquery.min.js"></script> 
<script src="js/jquery.ticker.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/external.php?&type=js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function () {
        $('#js-news').ticker();
    });
</script>
