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.

Sorry for the delay everyone, but you should see the new version within the next 24 hours if all goes right

I just have to see how compatibility works out. It should work out fine, but I won't know until some further testing. I'm sure it will, but ya :P

Also, if all is cool, then I might make the new version a product/plugin Thanks everyone for installing and do mark install if you're using the mod to be notified of the next one as well as future updates!

[HybridIllusions]

Sorry for the wait people, it should be here soon. So keep this mod as marked installed!

And the next version will be compatible with all versions of vBulletin that the original was/is (v3.0-3.7).

I had this edit on my older version and loved it. So thanks for updating. Installed.

[DaninMS]

Thanks. Simple and easy.

Tried this, but it does not work swell.

I placed the code in header since my custom style has
<!-- / nav buttons bar --> there

I placed it right below too.

As you can see, the table is layed over the main nav menu and adds this
huge purple table cell below it

lol i used this on my old forum but i forgot about it THIS MOD IS THE BEST

[DragonMasterNYC]

It would be great if it adds lines if there is more than 1 notification. In addition too that have images for each one that goes before the text.

Great mod, but can we get a little bit of 3.7 into it.

Thanks

Possible that you can add New Personal Message notification as well?

It only comes up when you have new unread messages.
