Mini Mods - Simple Notification

Simple Unread PM/etc Notification
Tested with vBulletin 3.0.x, 3.5.x, 3.6.x, 3.7.x

Very easy modification. Although it isn't as fancy as some, this template modification is meant for those that just want a simple and attractive notification that is... well... noticeable. It should be able to easily integrate into your design as well as easy to install.

I have a User CP Modification coming in the next month or so, which is of course more complex than this modification.

Release (final 1.0.0): Marked as New
+ Displays only if the Member has a Unread PM
+ Tell the Member how many pms are unread.
+ Adds "s" if more than one PM is unread.
+ Provides link to private.php for fast access.
+ Is displayed (if active) on virtually every forum page.

Upcoming Features: Marked as New
+ Display New Friend Requests
+ Display New Visitor Messages

Instructions/Installation: Very Easy

In the Style Manager, open the template "navbar" and find the following code:

<!-- / nav buttons bar -->

<br />

Add this code directly below:

<!-- PM Notification -->
<if condition="$bbuserinfo[pmunread]">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" align="center">
<tr>
            <td class="thead"><a href="private.php"><div style="text-decoration:none;">You currently have $bbuserinfo[pmunread] Unread Private Message<if condition="$bbuserinfo[pmunread] >= 2">s</if>! Click Here!</div></a></td>
        </tr>
</table>
<br />
</if>
<!-- / PM Notification -->

------------------------------------
And then Save, as you're done! Enjoy the the simple notifier!

"Otikeu" is on an abandoned license and I have taken over this modification. Please click "Install" to be notified when the next versions are available.

This will be the upcoming version, where it is just "Notifications" in general, and not just PMs.

Coolest thing would be to get a notification of group posts you are a member of, too!

The next version will support notifications, but might still be able to work with older versions of vBulletin (not just 3.7). If not, there will be two versions.

Is there anyway to get this to work on a non vb page?

There could be a way through more work, but if you can get vBulletin integrated with your site enough ot check global information for the user, then yes, you could.

An easy way to do this would be to upload the global.php from the root and all files in /includes/ to your website. Then, include() the global.php onto any page you want to use this mod with.

You may have to replace the files on every upgrade, however.

To everyone else, be sure to click "Install" or you may miss out on the next version!!
