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..

Same here. Twice, one under another


And if I refresh the page or change to another style and change back, the PM notification box disappear. Is it supposed to show only ONCE ? I haven't even clicked on the box yet.

thanks princeton it works great!!! Just curious i sthere a way to add an image on the side like an envelope image thanks like the icon images...

already displays an image - pm_new.gif ($stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]) ... you can change the image by editing the gtpm_have_new_pm_popup_x_y phrase

Same here. Twice, one under another

if you manually entered $pmmessage in navbar remove it ...

Is it supposed to show only ONCE ?

yes, it should only appear once

Nice work! Didnt need to do a thing except upload the product! Well done!

seems to work great apart from i see no message, i get the box under the navbar everything seems good, i see the icon then colon : then nothing? - thats on my vBadvanced page... haven't tried anywhere else...WAIT, it works on forumhome, but not on my vBadvanced front page which is my sites main starting point... any global variables to add perhaps to my vbadvanced settings?

Also... would it be possible to include some styeling? like an option to colour the bar to highlight a new message or perhaps an option to show more information like time/date or whatever...pretty cool already though cheers

I sent mutiple PM's (3 to be exact) from another username numbering them 1, 2, & 3 only '3' showed up below the navbar, to read the others I had to open the PM as per usual. I've installed this on my test forum, but my members would be up in arms, unless the '1 time popup' was titled '3 new messages' or something similar.
