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!

Ps. If you like any of my hacks, then show your appreciation and donate!

Rob, I can't get this to work.
Tried both versions and my VB is hardly modified. :/

I have to say, I am the same. I have just installed a fresh to try and get this to work... with no avail.

I know why it wasn't working now..
I did not have this enabled in my options:

if you are browsing the forums when you receive a new private message, the system can pop-up a notification box informing you of the new message.
Show New Private Message Notification Pop-up

Does anyone know how to make this the default?

installed it but didnt work for me
i really wanted the pop up notification..i use FF and 3.6.8 pl2 maybe thats why

Ok....

I dont support my hacks generally but let me just say that users HAVE TO turn on the option in their usercp to receive a pop up notification of private messages.

This hack is installed as is, with ZERO modifications on my site and is also functioning fine on the 3.7 beta which I have installed on another site.

This also stopped working for me as well and I do have "Show New Private Message Notification Pop-up" enabled. I was able to duplicate the problem in both Firefox 2 and IE7 (java script enabled). I even re-uploaded, overwriting the xml and to no avail.

you can make it by default from vboptions Registration

and to make it default for the users already registered

just go in admincp - Maintenance - execute sql query - Automatic Query - Choose - Yes Pop up notification bla bla bla

it will enable it for anyone who turned it that are currently registered

I didn't use the product tho i only used the template and replace my current one less plugins

One last thing

It doesnt show properly in Internet explorer the text is to the left because of this

[code]<div align="$stylevar[left]"></code>

Should be

<div align="$stylevar[center]">

Works fine In 3.6.4 Under Firefox 3 beta 4 and Internet explorer 7
Thanks! Great Modd
