UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 MultiHack Mods [6.3.x] [beta] Private Message Notification

Since I couldnt find any mods that did this, and Im not familiar with CGI, I just threw this together. If anyone can improve on it, or knows a better way, please let me know!

Requires Wordlets mod and Instant Messenger Mod.


In ubb_pm.cgi

Find

&WriteFileAsString("$vars_config{MembersPath}/pm_info/pm_counter.cgi", "$pm_countern");

#Send PM Notice
$PMI = "You have a new Private Message!";
$file[$#file + 1] = "$user_number||\n\n$PMI||||";
&WriteFileAsArray("$vars_config{MembersPath}/popup/$in{u}.cgi", @file);

#Send PM Notification

$PMI = "You have a new Private Message!";
$sendmeto = $pm_to{$thispost};

$file[$#file + 1] = "$user_number||\n\n$PMI||||";
&WriteFileAsArray("$vars_config{MembersPath}/popup/$sendmeto.cgi", @fil

Thats it, the first one goes in New PM and the second entry is for Reply to PM. Any questions? I just cobbled it together really, so I dont mind if anyone fixes/does a better one. Thanks

Still not sure what this does. Can you explain? Eventually show me a screen shot?

Thank you

Very nice idea, good job!
Felix, it shows you a pop-up (with Instant Message mod) when you get a new private message.

Still dont know what it does. PM Mod already pops a windows with a "You have 'n' messages" when you receive one. It is part of the Mod!

and BTW you are missing something on the last line:
&WriteFileAsArray("$vars_config{MembersPath}/popup/$sendmeto.cgi", @fil

I think I got it..When someone writes you a Private Message you receive a notification like this: it pops a PM window, in my case the enhanced one in which you can reply right on the spot.



and if you reply the sender gets just a Instant Message.
Nice...

LK, can it be modified to show you some info about the PM, say the date, the subject and maybe a link to the Message or at least the Inbox folder? I have the PM Folders installed.

Thank you,

Felix
