What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

Thanks again!

Excellent, glad to hear.

I made this plugin a while ago on my forum before you released it ozzy. Not sure if this is more simple or not.

if($vbulletin->userinfo['pmunread']){
$find = '<li class="welcomelink">'; 
$replace = '<li class="welcomelink">
    <a href="private.php?"><img border="0" src="images/newpm.gif" width="22" height="10"></a>';

$output = str_replace($find, $replace, $output);
}

About the same thing, mine is a bit more involved as far as the html to make it render correctly in all browsers.

Hey Ozzy i have db notifications installed will there be a conflict with that or will this be fine to have them both

[ozzy47]

It should be fine with both.

[Alan_SP]

I have DBTech's vBNotifications and use template modification and everything works just fine, so I guess this will work just fine with this mod also.

Just you need to know, this mod and template modification are "passive", so you need to reload page that PM icon become visible. Bun with vBNotifications it isn't so, they are "active", so you would receive PM notification as soon as PM is received (of course, depending on setting this isn't 100% instant, to save server resources).

[ozzy47]

That is correct, this does not use ajax to load the image.

Hey ozzy i run db notifications and i just put this in some of my members like this notification and some like the other would it be possible to add a user setting to disable this if the others wished to do so
