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.

[hasidoo]

excellent plug-in. thank you very much.

hmmm installed on vb 4.2 didnt work ....

[whitedd]

with 4.2 not work

[Cla75]

great mod,
but for users who use 1024x768 resolution, the popup is annoying, if you will not want to close ALL notifications (in addition to messages primates, posts awaiting moderation)

It would be impossible to close the popup manually, or after some seconds?
I would be very important for this change.

You know you help?

P.S. with 4.2 work

Hi

I have this modification installed and everything is fine except 1 thing, i have this modification installed https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228950 and it uses the notifications, but they only show for this particular mod in forumdisplay and not on the forum index page.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

I followed the directions to a "T"

I have the progammer theme installed.

I copy and pasted the code as shown.

But I can't seem to get it working at all.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Can anyone make this work with 4.2? I will love you forever, this is the mod I've been looking forever for.
