Private Messages Enhancements - GTPrivate Message Alert Popup

NEW 1.0.3 VERSION (download pm_new_alert_popup103.zip)

GTPrivate Message Alert Popup replaces the javascript private message alert popup. It is similar to the one here on vbulletin.org except that the style is different.

The one supplied here is a standard vBulletin style. Below is a screenshot of how it looks like.

Custom modification brought to you by Joe Velez (aka Princeton vbulletin.org Admin).

Show your support and click Mark As Installed, Nominate For MOTM, or Support Developer.

All you have to do is upload the product via the Plugin system.

I know somebody will end up asking me so ..

If you are having problems:

• Make sure that your vBulletin Options / Instant Messaging Support - Check for New Private Messages is enabled.
• Make sure that the receiver of message has Show New Private Message Notification Pop-up checked.
• Test by sending private message to another user (not yourself).
• Duplicate alerts in navbar? Remove $pmmessage from navbar template.
• Prefer to have alert in header template? Manually add $pmmessage to the bottom of your header template and change $gtpmmessage = true; to $gtpmmessage = false; in "Replace PM Popup" plugin

NOTE: This modifciation works similar to the alert popup. It will only display 1 time.

History:

• v1.0.3 Fixed quote issue - title with quotes would appear with slashes eg. \"title\"
• v1.0.3 there's no need to add $pmmessage
• v1.0.2 Added missing phrases
• v1.0.1 Added missing template to xml

Recently Released Modifications:

• GTPrivate Messages Enhanced Listing (preview message)
• GTHighlight Unread Announcements
• vbulletin.org Info Footer Panel
• Other modifications..

Will this work on 3.7?

I have this strange issue where it displayed once. What I did was send a test pm and refreshed, but this time it did not appear. Is this once display setup per cookie session? Can you please explain how to modify it so it appears every time on unread private messages?

Thanks

I have this same problem ..... :up:

I'm not sure why the message dissappears when it does. Now that you mention the cookie thing, I think that's exactly the way it behaves on my system. It's not really that valuable to us when it works that way, particularly if people log in at the vBA home page first, so I was just about to uninstall it.

Perhaps I'll wait and see what answer you get first....

Other than that, very nice mod....

Regards,
Badger
