Modification Name: PM Notification Addon Author(s): Weird Al Description: Will create a popup telling a member that he has a new PM Demo: http://www.alforadmin.com/_personal/pmnot.gif Requirements: Valid UBB.classic license Download Links:[6.5 - 6.6] here [6.7] here Credits: LK for a little code from the shoutbox. Charles Capps for not letting me settle for the easy way  . CTM for the "pseudocode", and Allen for using  far too much  Notes: This will not work on 6.4 and lower, because this needs the base code from 6.5. I cannot support any ports to users using the PM Inbox hack. Amendments: No longer uses the body code, and is used right beforethe closing html tag, so that the whole page will load before the popup.

thanks, I'm looking at adding 1 more version of it. It will take you straight to check your PMs when you click ok. I just don't know how to make the OK button make you go to your profile

This adds a body tag to the page, which may break it.
Instead, create a new JS variable and set it to 1 when there are PMs. Add new code at the bottom of the page (in the Footer) that then checks the variable and causes the alert if it's 1. No messy tag hacks thatway.
UBB.classic: Love it or hate it, it was mine.

ok, I'll look into that, I'm very new with javascript (if that's what JS means). Would I use the same code (the body part), but it won't mess anything up cause it's after everything else?
I'm sorry about this, I'm just learning

I guess you could move this to requests, cause I'd still like to have this hack.

To do what Charles said to do isn't too hard, really... JS is executed in the order it appears in the HTML, so instead of this: [/code]Use this:
</pre></div></div>And near the end (by the closing HTML tag) add this:<br><br>[code] 
But yeah, good job and a great idea, which could possibly even be included in the stock code and turned on/off from the CP... |

That's really just pseudocode, I'm not great when it comes to JS so there might be something wrong in there... I think I should leave it for someone else to "proof-read"

Any chance of this hack being upgraded to 6.7? In Step 2. you are to find: quote:
~ unless ($vars_registration{DisplayRegistration} ne "YES");
The closest I can find to this is on line 317. quote:
[qb]if($vars_registration{DisplayRegistration} eq "NO") {[/qb] I have tried messing with this on a test install of 6.7 Beta release 1 with some unpredicable results. I am a complete newbe with Perl and am working through the Llama book right now. Next will be the Camel. This looks like it should not be a major problem for one of you expert "Haxxors". If you happen find the time to look into this, I'd be ever so grateful.  thanks

Thank-you ever so much. Not only will this help me get the hack installed, it will serve as a lesson in Perl. The code is ugly as hell, but I do like its power and flexability. (Perl that is... Not your hack. )

School isn't important ;-) What's important is to change a pop-up to "Open PM in new Window"

Can't do that for many reasons.
1. I don't get that kind of information with PM Notification, only the number of PMs.
2. If 9 PMs... a lot of windows.
3. I've actually had it requested that it never do that, cause many find it frustrating being forced to view the PM

I surf pirate4x4.com a lot. Their PM notification pops up with "You have new Private Massages. Open in new window?" and buttons for OK and Cancel. If you hit OK, it just takes you to your PM page to list all of them. ;-)

Hmmmmm...my old PM folders worked fine on 6.5, but for some reason something doesn't look right on 6.7.1. Certain areas, the colors are off. There is no outline trim around the folders and in the inbox the words "Subject", "From:", "Date:" are the same color as the header strip. I've tried to change them in the "Style" section but that doesn't work either. If anyone has the time, would you please take a look and offer any suggestions. http://www.ronaldreagan.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php Login = Tester3 Password = testing I've tried reinstalling it 3 times and I keep getting the same results. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.

This isn't the right topic for that. PM Folders is a different mod altogether.
