Miscellaneous Hacks - Webforumz :: Better PM Notification

What does this do??

It essentially replaces the boring javascript alert with a fly-in DHTML version. This has gone down extremely well on my boards, so I thought I would share it.

Remember to click **install*

Enjoy!

A note for people who have pages on their forums other than on ROOT.
If you have a non page outside your forum root dir it wont lead you to the UserCP/Inbox page. If you want this product to work, just re-import the edited product I attached.

I also added phrases, as the original didnt use any.

This should be version 1.1 i suppose.

Cya!

I have the same issue. I don't think there a way to have the DHTML popup show over a flash document. Though, I tried to edit the Y offset so it will popup a little lower, but nothing changed.



Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Update: I managed to find where to edit the Y offset. Look for this line in pm_webforumz_popup_script located in your pm templates

PHP Code:

if (parseInt(crossobj.top)<100+scroll_top) 


and replace the number to a higher one. I used 300.

Also, there was a problem with the appearance (image attached), it was showing in FF and IE.
What I did to correct this is find

PHP Code:

<div id="dropin" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;left:250px;top:100px;width:460px;height:197px;background-color:#F5F5F5"> 


and replace 197px with 150px. That's what worked for me.
