New PM Notification

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:

<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)

<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>

BTW,

As it doesn't state, it is the NAVBAR template that you need to edit.

Well done Eric, very nice mod!

Yeah, I had to add that too, I would assume most forums would have it like that.

Also to keep in the old theme of the "blinking" notice, I made these real quick if anyone wants to use them, just rename it by taking of the number.

Cool, thanks. I've also added a note to change the path.

Nice one *klicks install* Perhaps there could be a little tweaking for the alt value for the image: It would be perfect, when it shows the Number of unread pms in it.
