Adding notification to notifications popup

[Pedro!]

Edit: I found the </table> tag which should do it, it's after $notifications_menubits in the navbar template.

I want to add a notification to the notifications pop-up menu. Trouble is I can't append it to to navbar_notifications_menubit because then it will repeat after ever menu item. Can anyone help me figure out a way to either:

• append this to the menu after it has been parsed
• or enter it in the array that the template parses the menu items from

I've been looking at global.php trynna figure it out but I'm a bit lost, lol. I can write plug-ins to include custom templates just fine so if someone could figure out where the closing </table> tag is kept for the navbar_notification_menubit then hopefully I could just sneak it in before there. I have a nasty feeling it'll be in the JavaScript though :erm:

Any help would be much appreciated!

You can add a notification from just one single plugin. Look at the hook notifications_list.

Thanks for the reply man, I spotted that bad-boy when scouting out the code, trouble is I couldn't figure out where I put the variable for the outstanding number of items in the notification - any ideas?

Thanks for your help so far.

Here is an example:

PHP Code:

// add notification
$notifications['random_notification_count'] = array(
    'phrase' => $vbphrase['random_notification'],
    'link'   => 'random.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . 'do=notifications',
    'order'  => 11
);

// the amount of notifications
$vbulletin->userinfo['random_notification_count'] = 20;

Worked a charm, thanks a bunch :up:
