sugg: just make the envelop modif in the template, no need to edit the global.php...

Code:

<if condition="$show['pmstats']"><br /><if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']!= 0"><IMG SRC=benvelope.gif></if>

doing so, your edit can be moved to Templates Modifications!

EDIT: changed the $vbulletin-> to bbuserinfo, as it's not parsed correctly in templates... YET!

Tried doing that but...

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/adamgess/public_html/forum/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3510) : eval()'d code on line 42

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

That's why I had to do the template edit... maybe I'll try again later.

There... now it doesn't require a file edit.

Tried to do it before but it wasn't working for me.

Any pics?

I am confused, 1st post claims that no file edits are required, yet the instructions show to modify global.php as well as edit the navbar template??

Am I missing something, should there be an xml file in the folder?

Boofo · #8 09-14-2005, 06:15 AM

You can do the global part as a navbar temple edit.

I'm still using Chen's old vb2 one that uses js and it works fine.

GrendelKhan{TSU · #9 09-14-2005, 07:53 AM

er... now I'm confused. do we need to edits or not?

According to the ZIP - yes.

@adamgesel
Could you please update the ZIP to make this a Template Modification so it can be moved to the correct Forum?
Thanks.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
