Additional info : use for Notifications Popup

This notice effect to who use Notifications Popup. In forum that Administrator enable Pop up a Notification Box When a Private Message is Received for all users and now use the integrated features to replace it, there is a troubling is that both systems work together.
I have a solution to help you overcome this problem, see the instructions below and perform :

1. Open config.php file, go to the location (usually line 126) :
   
   PHP Code:

   $config['SpecialUsers']['canrunqueries'] = ''; 

   Enter in '' your administrator id (usually you), eg :
   
   PHP Code:

   $config['SpecialUsers']['canrunqueries'] = '1'; 

2. Save and update to old file.
3. In AdminCP, go to : Maintenance -> Execute SQL Query.
   At Automatic Query select : No - Pop up a Notification Box When a Private Message is Received and click Continue.
4. Continue with : Confirm Query Execution click Continue.
5. When successful, you will see : Affected Rows: XX (XXXs), click Restart to complete.

Good luck !

tnx...

[BCP Hung]

First line, thank you very much for your attention in my work.

In this time, and some in near future, I can't keep working on this modification anymore because of my studying.

I have a question, I have installed this mod and is working fine, but, I have detected a bug.

When you insert a youtube video (new iframe), in google chrome when you minimize the box, and refresh page, the video shows in top left of the page.

In explorer and firefox it minimizes correctly and don't show the video.

Any help?

Thanks!
