Show Newest PM If Unread On Forum Home · **Released**: 02-28-2005

This is similar to the IPB 2.x feature, where if you have a PM which is unread, or several, it will display the newest PM which you have unread on the forum home page below navigation.

This modification will do the same to your forums, if no unread PM's are found, nothing will be shown.
It will also cut-off the message after 400 characters to stop the whole message (if big) from been shown.

A preview of it in action can be found below

For those who are concerned about the amount of queries this will execute, heres info on that:
If Unread PM Is Found And Displayed: 1 Query Used
If Nothing Is Displayed: 0 Queries Used

Installation Information
Files To Edit: 1
Templates To Edit: 1
Templates To Add: 1
Estimated Installation Time: 10 - 15 Minutes

Enjoy the modification,

If I am doing it on 3.0.6, where do I put the forumhome_pmshow part?

Code:

$globaltemplates = array(
	'FORUMHOME',
	'forumhome_event',
	'forumhome_pmshow',

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
