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



Edit template - FORUMHOME

PHP Code:

{vb:raw footer} 


After add

PHP Code:

<!-- mail -->
<vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo[pmunread]">
<a style="display:scroll;position:fixed;bottom:-40px;right:-20px;" title="Click Here - new message!">

<vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo[pmunread]"> 
<a style="display:scroll;position:fixed;bottom:-40px;right:-20px;" title="Click Here - new message!"> 
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" 
data="http://www.shareme.org/forums/you-got-mail.swf" 
width="150" height="250"> 
<param name="movie" value="http://www.shareme.org/forums/you-got-mail.swf" /> 
<param name="quality" value="high"/> 
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"/> 
</object> 
</vb:if> 
<!-- end of mail --> 


The mod now has the attatched "you-got-mail.swf" to suit your board being "forums" so anyone who's board has "forums" rather than "forum" choose the relevant zip.

Hope this fixes the problem Steve

thanks that worked brilliant thank you

Then I get to have the same url as you have done for this post, but with http://www.alra7ba.info/zip/mail2.swf
My site is http://www.mysite.com/private.php
Thank you in advance
Sorry for my English, I'm french

Then your code would be the following:

PHP Code:

<!-- mail -->  
<vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo[pmunread]">  
<a style="display:scroll;position:fixed;bottom:-40px;right:-20px;" title="Click Here - new message!">  
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"  
data="http://www.alra7ba.info/mail2.swf"  
width="150" height="250">  
<param name="movie" value="http://www.alra7ba.info/mail2.swf" />  
<param name="quality" value="high"/>  
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"/>  
</object>  
</vb:if>  
<!-- end of mail --> 


That is after you have unzipped the mail2.swf of course.

Then you should be fine
