How to use new PM JS on website?

I reused the ubb cookie for the website's login system and it works great but I am not sure what to do to get the new PM messages too on all pages of the website.

thanks if you have any clue

I just did this on my main page, here's what you have to do.

First, install Allen\'s CP style hack .

Then, go into cp_style_php.cgi.

FIND:

Code

my @needs_escape = qw( " ); # you can add any character after "

ADD AFTER:

Code

$pleh = $show_logout;
$teh = qq~echo checkUserPMs()~;
$eh = qq!blahblah!;


$pleh =~ s/<?php echo checkUserPMs(); ?>/$eh/eisg;

then

FIND:

Code

$var .= sprintf qq($TableBottom 	= "%s";n), esc($TBB);

ADD AFTER:

Code

$var .= sprintf qq($thisShowLogout    	= "%s";n), esc($pleh);

In your (PHP) webpage add the following...

From ultimatebb.php, the following functions:
getuserid ()
checkUserPMs ()
find_environmental ()

After those in your PHP code, add

Code

	$monkey = checkUserPMs();

	$thisShowLogout = preg_replace("/blahblah/", $monkey, $thisShowLogout);

where you wish to add the

"Hello, Ian
You have 1 unread private messages."

put this into your code...

$thisShowLogout

This only works with PHP pages, but it does work

Or you can do a quick function in your PHP page to get the info yourself:

Code

$gen_pm1msg      = " New Message";
$gen_pmmulti     = " New Messages";
                  $mbrfile = $ubbnotifypath . $ubbmemberid . ".cgi";

         if (file_exists($mbrfile)){
             $newpm = "TRUE";
                         $pmfile = file($mbrfile);
             $numpm = $pmfile[0];
         } else {
             $newpm = "FALSE";
                          }
                if ($numpm > 1)
                        $newpm_msg = $gen_pmmulti;
                else
                        $newpm_msg = $gen_pm1msg;

      if ($newpm == "TRUE") {
      echo "<font size="1">
      <a href="/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=my_profile">$numpm $newpm_msg</a></font>
";
}

That's the basics. You can adapt that to say the full "You have XX new Private Messages" or whatever you like.

That's the basic code to accomplish that.

(Yes, I know that some of the code can be cleaned up, but that's just lazyness on my part as the code does work)
