Private Messages Enhancements - Simple Additional PM Notification

Hi guys,

This mod/hack gives you a very simple yet much more noticeable Private Message notification. When the user has any PM's a red box will be added to the header of your website notifying the user of a new PM. It has animated text which is shown in the .gif screenshot attached below.

=|= Install =|=


Open Template - header

Add at Top -

<!-- Private Message Alert -->
<style type="text/css">
.alert {
    background-color:#F00;
    width:100%;
    height:30px;
    color:#fff;
    font-size:14px;
    display:block;
}
.alert p {
    padding:5px;
}
.alert a {
    color:#ccc;
    text-decoration:none; 
}
</style>
<vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo[pmunread]">
<div class="alert">
<p><span style="text-decoration:blink; font-weight:bold;">ATTENTION! {vb:raw bbuserinfo.username}</span> You've got {vb:raw bbuserinfo.pmunread} unread private message(s), click <a href="private.php">here</a> to view.</p></div>
</vb:if>
<!-- Private Message Alert End -->

Simple, yet very effective, i just felt my forum needed something that stood out a bit more but didn't want anything massive.

Enjoy! And please remember to mark as installed for future updates and support!

When you read new message notification is still on, this would be perfect if notification would dissapear when you open new message
Anyways great mod, installed, nominated, rated

This for me as well, it stays on, also, Is there any way to adjust the size of the box, when I edit the 'width' parameter, it only subtracts from the right, and I have tried to center it, but nothing I do seems to work. Any thoughts on this? Also great mod and marked as well, nice work mate:up:


***I answered my own question**** Very simple, justput a <center></center> around your <vb></vb> ******
Still wish it would go away after your in your message area
