Private Messages Enhancements - Private message Animation

This cool little mod will simply enhance and add some fun to your Private Message alert and adds a little flash animation to the bottom right corner of your board. The flash mail box can then be clicked and will redirect to your private message box. Animation is based on forum home page but can easily be added to display on any page required or indeed every page and will dissapear when mailbox is read.

Added new MSN Style Pop up alert box


There are three animations you can use. including msn style pop up alert box

If anyone has a different path and needs this altering in the swf and fla please post and i will arrange this asap - thanks

I do not know the issue. I have tried to install it twice to make sure I missed nothing but it just doesnt appear at all. Its as if it is not even installed

[basilrath]

pm me your login details ill sort it

upload the swf to your forum so it is at the following

www.yoursite.com/forum/you-got-mail.swf or whatever the layout is of your board as i cant see the boards paths

then i can sort the coding issue out asap for you

regards

-----------------------------------------
ok i can access your board but the following problems are relevant on the set up

1....... the boards structure is incorrect, which means when you login voa the admin link at the bottom you cannot access the admin cp via that link.

2....... the admin control panel is located at http://www.pastors-source.com/admincp/index.php but the board is located at www.pastors-source.com/vb/forum.php

you have a "vb" folder in there you need to get the structure of the board correct

3........ there are many image issues on the board due to paths not being correct, which is relevant to the above.

you will also see the board cannot be accessed via www.pastors-source.com but can be accessed via www.pastors-source.com/vb/ which again is the boards structure etc


the mod will work correctly when the boards structure is corrected without an issue

if you would like this fixing then please pm me the whole ftp details and logins etc
