Forum Home Enhancements - New Notification Image

Now that we have notifications, I have modified my previous New PM hack to go along with the new setup. This will display when ever there is a new PM or Notification to grab the users attention.

In the navbar template find:

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

Add this right under:

<if condition="$show['notifications']">
<td class="alt2" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/notification.jpg" alt="You have a new Notification" border="0"></a>
</td>
</if>

Upload the attached "notification.jpg" to your /images/misc directory

~Please click Install if you use this~

Yeah, it's sort of hard to notice that it's separated from the screenshot.

Thanks, I was waiting for this to be released since vbulletin changed there minds in doing it.

Question tho, when a user has no pms, or no notifications, what is displayed then? (hopefully something is still displayed. Thanks.

It's based on a condition that you have a notification, so if there are no notifications it doesn't display anything, just the default.

you should fix your code, there it's a .gif but you say we should upload the .jpg

thank you

I changed the image into a flashing gif image and used that instead as it makes the user more aware of the notification.
