New messages flashing mail

[thenoss]

I'll bump this instead of creating a new thread...

I'm using SMF 1.1.11 and having troubles trying to do something like this on a custom theme...

Anyone know how I can go about doing this? =S

Depends on the custom theme. What problems are you experiencing?

I am using the Ziyah Zemin theme. Anyone know how I can get this working as it doesn't have PM notifcation

That's odd, isn't it. You'd want to know if you have new messages.

Well, this is how you could implement it. In the file index.template.php of this theme, look for

Code Select Expand


echo '
<strong>', $txt['hello_member_ndt'], ' ', $context['user']['name'] , '</strong><br />
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread">', $txt['unread_since_visit'], '</a> <br />
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unreadreplies">', $txt['show_unread_replies'], '</a><br />';


replace that part with

Code Select Expand


echo '
<strong>', $txt['hello_member_ndt'], ' ', $context['user']['name'] , '</strong>';
// Show Flashy icon if user has new messages and it not a guest
if (!$context['user']['is_guest'] && $context['user']['unread_messages'])
echo '
<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=pm"><img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/newim.gif" border="0" />(' . $context['user']['unread_messages'] . ')</a> ' . $context['menu_separator'] . '<br />
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread">', $txt['unread_since_visit'], '</a> <br />
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unreadreplies">', $txt['show_unread_replies'], '</a><br />';


Which will make it look like this
Hello username (1) {image here}

Absolutely. The only way to know a PM is in the inbox is via email which isn't any help if the user doesn't access it on a regular basis.

Okay the code works but when you have read the PM, the notification disappears along with 'show last posts' and 'replies to posts' options......

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Sorry about that. Try this instead

Code Select Expand


   echo '
            <strong>', $txt['hello_member_ndt'], ' ', $context['user']['name'] , '</strong>';
            // Show Flashy icon if user has new messages and it not a guest
            if (!$context['user']['is_guest'] && $context['user']['unread_messages'])
            echo '
            <a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=pm"><img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/newim.gif" border="0" />(' . $context['user']['unread_messages'] . ')</a> ' . $context['menu_separator'] . '<br />';
            echo '
            <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread">', $txt['unread_since_visit'], '</a> <br />
            <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unreadreplies">', $txt['show_unread_replies'], '</a><br />';
