New pm alert (a replacement for pm popup)

This hack will change the way pm pop works on your forums. Frist of all it will no longer be a pop up, instead the info is placed in a new table under the navbar. Also the avatar of the member that sent you the pm is displayed.

This is dirty but it works, if everything checks out in this beta release I will update the template to use phrases and post a new thread in the full release forum

Great idea you have there, but it may cause a few probs for folk with things like vbindex etc installed

Nicely implemented

Nice, but I have a probleme.
When the subject has a ' exemple : I'm here

The result is : I\'m here

Have you got any answers ?

[albibak]

An other problem.
The avatar don't work if it's a link, exemple if my avatar is : www.test.com/avatar.jpg

I must upload my avatar. It must be on the database

Change:

PHP Code:

        $newpm['username'] = addslashes(unhtmlspecialchars($newpm['fromusername'], true));
        $newpm['title'] = addslashes(unhtmlspecialchars($newpm['title'], true)); 


To:

PHP Code:

        $newpm['username'] = unhtmlspecialchars($newpm['fromusername'], true);
        $newpm['title'] = unhtmlspecialchars($newpm['title'], true); 


That will fix the \' problems, looking at the avatars now

If you have the welcome panel installed, a modification will be do :

At the very end of the template add:

<br />
$newpm 


and replace by :
