New PM Notification · **Released**: 08-14-2006

I've decided to upgrade my existing Flashing Envelope mod and change it around a little for 3.6. To see how it will look, checkout the screen shot.

Upload the attached image newpm.gif to your images/misc directory.

In the navbar template
Find:

Code:

<strong><phrase 1="$vbphrase[pmpercent_nav_compiled]">$vbphrase[your_pm_box_is_x_full]</phrase></strong></if>
		</div>
		</td>

Place Under: (be sure to change to your forum path to /forum/private.php)

Code:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']">
		<td class="alt2" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">
	<a href="/forum/private.php?$session[sessionurl]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/newpm.gif" alt="You have a new PM" border="0"></a>
		</td>
	</if>

Very nice eric. I was using the one for 3.5, but this one's even nicer.

Thanks!

really dislike the cell spacer in the middle >.< prefer the old hack, could you update that one?

Thanks.. Installed this on my site with a few modifications. I couldn't find a flashing envelope with a dark background so just used a static PNG. I think the addition of the image will be enough to alert most people as it will still only show when they have a new PM.

The image I used is attached. It is from the Noia Warm icon set for KDE and under GPL.

Thanx for the modification!

vb has a special variable for this needs

instead of

Code:

/forum/private.php

use

Code:

$vboptions[bburl]/private.php

thanks, looks great! "installed"

I'm facing a little problem
I've upload the gif in the misc folder
but the flashing gif does'nt seem to appear when a member receives a message
the link is there but the pic does'nt appear
all I get is the "x" sign and " yeu have a new PM"

any help with that?
thanks
