Private Messages Enhancements - Private message Animation

This cool little mod will simply enhance and add some fun to your Private Message alert and adds a little flash animation to the bottom right corner of your board. The flash mail box can then be clicked and will redirect to your private message box. Animation is based on forum home page but can easily be added to display on any page required or indeed every page and will dissapear when mailbox is read.

Added new MSN Style Pop up alert box


There are three animations you can use. including msn style pop up alert box

If anyone has a different path and needs this altering in the swf and fla please post and i will arrange this asap - thanks

hia

firstly change the path to the swf to suit your forums of the two instances that say "/path-to-your/you-got-mail.swf" in red

the green is just the positioning which you can leave

<!-- mail -->
<vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo[pmunread]">
<a style="display:scroll;position:fixed;bottom:-40px;right:-20px;" title="Click Here - new message!">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="/path-to-your/you-got-mail.swf"
width="150" height="250">
<param name="movie" value="/path-to-your/you-got-mail.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high"/>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"/>
</object>
</vb:if>
<!-- end of mail -->

then change the fla path to your private.php path - if you havnt any idea how to edit an fla then tell me your forum path first

if you still have a problem ill edit the fla to suit your board so it works.

hello i sent you a pm if could please edit the file for me thanks

Ok steve.......... having looked at your board root you need the following code added. I will edit the fla for you so the link gets your private.php. I will edit the fla to suit "forums" and attatch the file asap.

PHP Code:

<!-- mail --> 
<vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo[pmunread]"> 
<a style="display:scroll;position:fixed;bottom:-40px;right:-20px;" title="Click Here - new message!"> 
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" 
data="http://www.shareme.org/forums/you-got-mail.swf" 
width="150" height="250"> 
<param name="movie" value="http://www.shareme.org/forums/you-got-mail.swf" /> 
<param name="quality" value="high"/> 
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"/> 
</object> 
</vb:if> 
<!-- end of mail --> 


The mod now has the attatched "you-got-mail.swf" to suit your board being "forums" so anyone who's board has "forums" rather than "forum" choose the relevant zip.

Hope this fixes the problem Steve

With the path your board currently sits on you will need to add the following code to place the swf on site.........

PHP Code:

<!-- mail --> 
<vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo[pmunread]"> 
<a style="display:scroll;position:fixed;bottom:-40px;right:-20px;" title="Click Here - new message!"> 
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" 
data="www.dadasongs.com/you-got-mail.swf" 
width="150" height="250"> 
<param name="movie" value="http://www.dadasongs.com/you-got-mail.swf" /> 
<param name="quality" value="high"/> 
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"/> 
</object> 
</vb:if> 
<!-- end of mail --> 


This should be fixed

ok download the zip i have attatched in this post. I have edited the fla file to suit your board. Simply upload to your froum and overwrite the one you used previously. everything else is the same.
