How to check user has unread private messages in Vbulletin 5

[YankForum]

Hi

in vbulletin 3 and 4 it was possible to check user's unread private messages in any template (footer, header ...) with this if condition:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[pmunread]">user has new pms</if>

but in vb5 how is this possible? i need it to work in header or footer template and not only in provate_message temps

i found this but it checks all types of notifications , unread visitor messages, requests and ... including new private messages :

{vb:data unreadCount, content_privatemessage, getUnreadInboxCount}
			{vb:data canUsePmSystem, content_privatemessage, canUsePmSystem}
			<vb:if condition="!empty($unreadCount)">
</vb:if>

how is this possible only to check for new private messages instead of all notifications?

regards
