Blinking PM notification bar for vB3.0.3

*** PM Notify Blink R.9

I based this off of Chen's Vb2 PM Notify Hack. I had released this for 2.0 as well - mine was a bit different from his. I rewrote it for vB3 and wasn't going to release it but have seen a couple requests for something like it so here it is. I do not have stock templates on my forums (and didn't keep a copy of them on there) so I'm not sure that the template lines I am having you look for are exactly what I have in this file. Please let me know what you find and I'll change the text. The screen shots show the two colors that it blinks between by default.

I installed a slightly modified version of the hack.

All work is (c) of original poster.

Open template navbar and find:

	<if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid']">
 
		<td class="alt2" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">
		<div class="smallfont">

and replace with:

	<if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid']">
 
		<td id="pmNotifybox" bgcolor="#F8F8F8" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"><font color="#000000">
		<div class="smallfont">

then find:

<!-- / breadcrumb, login, pm info -->

and add below it:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']">
<script language="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
$pmblink pmNotifybox.bgColor='#f8f8f8';
$pmblink setInterval("Timer()", 500);
$pmblink x=1;
function Timer() {
	set=1;
	if(x==0 && set==1) {
		pmNotifybox.bgColor='#f8f8f8';
		x=1;
		set=0;
	}
	if(x==1 && set==1) {
		pmNotifybox.bgColor='#999999';
		x=0;
		set=0;
	}
}
// End -->
</script>
</if>

Voila! The table cell that contains your user info and pm count will blink the color you specify. It is set now to exactly as I have it on my forum.

This can be done with condtions, no need to hack.

Sure. Use something like this.

PHP Code:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']"> w/e you want here </if> 

The things you can do with conditions are wonderful.

This is what im doing. See attachment. And if you don't want gues to see it, then simply use.

PHP Code:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid']"> blah </if>
