Popup Box on Full PM Box

After numerous complaints from members at my board that people never checked that there pm box was full, I had to take action, especially as they were bugging me

This hack allows a user to select in options if they wish a popup box to appear when there pm box is full. There is a fair number of files to edit and a new template and two minor modifications to a couple, but well worth it in the end.

Hm, my global.php in 2.2.4 seems to look like different:

$newpmmsg=0;
$headnewpm='';
if ($checknewpm and $bbuserinfo['userid']!=0 and $bbuserinfo['pmpopup']==2) {
if ($noshutdownfunc) {
$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET pmpopup=1 WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]");
} else {
$shutdownqueries[]="UPDATE LOW_PRIORITY user SET pmpopup=1 WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]";
}
$newpmmsg=1;
$latest_pm = $DB_site->query("SELECT p.privatemessageid AS pm_popup_id, p.title AS pm_popup_title, u.username AS pm_popup_username FROM privatemessage p, user u WHERE messageread = 0 AND touserid = $bbuserinfo[userid] AND p.fromuserid = u.userid ORDER BY dateline DESC");
$hack_pm_total = $DB_site->num_rows($latest_pm);

what to do?? :disappointed:

Can somebody tell me what the chances of this hack working on 2.0.3? Whenever there are MySQL querys for me to run I am always hesitant about running them and then having it now work.

Is there a pretty good chance that my code will be the same as in the instructions? :nervous:
