I made a cleaner blinking PM notifier

[JohnBee]

I just finished a small template mod that I think makes a very clean addition
to the PM notification system.

I liked the other blinking notifiers out there, the bar and the table blinker
but they were to a little to bold or intrusive on my light layout so as an
alternative I created a smaller text based blinker which seems to ask for
attention without compromising my layout.

I attached a copy if anyone is interested in the code changes I would be
more than happy to share.

Okay but I can't release a full release typa thing cause i'm way to lame of a coder
for that. So I'll paste my code changes here instead.

I'm not 100% there is anything else to note for this template mod
so if anyone tries and it doesnt work, I guess I can install on a
fresh vBB to test it and post correction. Otherwise I think this is it.

//Placed in NAVBAR header section //

<script language="JavaScript">

var on_color = "#FF0000";
var off_color = "#FFFFFF";
var blink_onoff = 1;
var blinkspeed= 500;
function blink()
{
	if( blink_onoff == 1) {
           document.all.blink.style.color = on_color;
	   blink_onoff = 0;
	}
	else {
	   document.all.blink.style.color = off_color;
	   blink_onoff = 1;
	}
}
</script>



// Replaced my original NAVBAR pmunread template section with //

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']">
				<phrase 1="<font id=blink>$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]</font>" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase>
		
		<script>
document.all.blink.style.color = off_color;
setInterval("blink()",blinkspeed);
		</script><br>
            <else />

				<phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase><br></if>


// all done //

What version you have? NAVBAR pmunread? Where is that?

[JohnBee]

Sorry vB 3.0.3

// in your NAVBAR template find //

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid']">
	
		<td class="alt2" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">


// Right under that add //


<if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']">
				<phrase 1="<font id=blink>$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]</font>" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase>
		
		<script>
document.all.blink.style.color = off_color;
setInterval("blink()",blinkspeed);
		</script><br>
            <else />

				<phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase><br></if>

// all done //

That Should be it
