$pminfo in the Header?

[jamesdasher]

Okay, can you all give me a hand possibly?

I am using vb 2.0.3 what I am trying to do is this, I want the $pminfo variable to be in the Header template...and therefore display on all the pages in the site...I have found the code that is used in index.php and I tried to copy it over to global.php, but it doesn't work that way, what am I missing, please help!

You just have to insert $pminfo into the header template. Nothing else is needed.

Actually that won't work, rez.

jamesdasher, I don't understand why you can't put the code from index.php in global.php. Maybe you're doing something wrong?

I added this to global.php:

$permissions=getpermissions();
if ($enablepms==1 and $permissions['canusepm'] and $bbuserinfo['receivepm']) {
  $ignoreusers="";
  if (trim($bbuserinfo['ignorelist'])!="") {
    $ignoreusers='AND fromuserid<>'.implode(' AND fromuserid<>',explode(' ',$bbuserinfo[ignorelist]));
  }

  $allpm=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS messages FROM privatemessage WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid] $ignoreusers");
  $newpm=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS messages FROM privatemessage WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid] AND dateline>$bbuserinfo[lastvisit] AND folderid=0 $ignoreusers");
  $unreadpm=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS messages FROM privatemessage WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid] AND messageread=0 AND folderid=0 $ignoreusers");

  if ($newpm['messages']==0) {
    $lightbulb='off';
  } else {
    $lightbulb='on';
  }
  eval("\$pminfo = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_pmloggedin')."\";");
} else {
  $pminfo='';
}

right before this:

if (!$header) {

and it worked. Keep in mind you're adding this to -all- your pages!

I added the code posted above to Global.php on my (under development) board but could not get it to work. I would like the PM info to display on all pages on the board in the "My Toolbox" area. You can see the board here:

Any help would be appreciated.

Best,

I'm also wondering how this could work in 2.2.6.

Anyone?
