Additional info : use for Notifications Popup

This notice effect to who use Notifications Popup. In forum that Administrator enable Pop up a Notification Box When a Private Message is Received for all users and now use the integrated features to replace it, there is a troubling is that both systems work together.
I have a solution to help you overcome this problem, see the instructions below and perform :

1. Open config.php file, go to the location (usually line 126) :
   
   PHP Code:

   $config['SpecialUsers']['canrunqueries'] = ''; 

   Enter in '' your administrator id (usually you), eg :
   
   PHP Code:

   $config['SpecialUsers']['canrunqueries'] = '1'; 

2. Save and update to old file.
3. In AdminCP, go to : Maintenance -> Execute SQL Query.
   At Automatic Query select : No - Pop up a Notification Box When a Private Message is Received and click Continue.
4. Continue with : Confirm Query Execution click Continue.
5. When successful, you will see : Affected Rows: XX (XXXs), click Restart to complete.

Good luck !

I make it with CSS, so, not easy to edit.
I will add full StyleVars for this in next version.

thanks for the update

another suggestion ..

the "Content for News and Announcements (basic feature)" box .. if possible split into sections similar to the advanced section ..so u can still incorporate html coding etc in the box ... and then have these sections on a Scroll Up / Scroll Down / Prev. / Next etc .. similar to a slider

Hope that explains ... thanks

Thank you for all suggestions ! I will think about that, then, it will be available in final version : 1.0.5.

slide up function did not work in my internet explorer but it is working in my chrome.i uninstall and reinstall ie 8 but nothing changed.

I figured it out, Amped, but I do have a suggestion for the next beta.

You know how you can scroll through the line announcements (1-10?), it would be absolutely amazing if you could make it so the announcement content scrolls as well. That way you could have 10 different announcements each with different content.
