I have this exact same problem when using the version designed for 6.2..

I think thats just how it works. I have a meta refresh on my forum summary, so after it refreshes, users get notified of new PM. Happens with cache on and off.

This mod keeps telling their is a new PM even when the user has read the PM, the pop up keeps showing up over and over, Is there a way to fix this?

I read that Variables had a wav sound instead of the popup, could someone send that to me?

Also in the profile options to turn popup on and off there is no text. How can I fix that? There were no vars_worldet additions in the document.

The mod does work just fine on my 6.3.1.1, thanks for this handy feature.

Never mind about the vars_worldet. I thought each user was able to turn the popup notify on/off in profile, which you can't, and found out what was the problem.

I would still prefer to have the wav play instead of the popup so if someone could send me that code change I would greatly appreciate it.

The link is down, could someone email it to [email protected] please?

Has anyone else noticed that you do not get notified of your PM until after you refresh ultimatebb.cgi or come back to it a second time?

Is there a fix for that?

I have always experienced this problem and decided to stop using this hack because of it.

Hello! I want to now if there is a way when users are not logged in to show this message "Only registered people can have pms"
besides of "No unread messages" = "0 Nem private message"
PS: I´ve changed the Texts.

Take a look at my board: http://cshock.ibboards.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

How do I place the Private Message link at the top of the page?

(I haven't had the chance to try this mod since the link is down)

to add it to the top of the page under login you add it:

In public_forum_summary.pl (template) you'd add the code under:

$show_logout

(not sure of what all to add since I hadn't tweaked with this code and the page is down. I found it quite odd that the person who ported the hack's board was having errors with the pm box (page errors) when i went to his page)...

If you want you can email me this mod [email protected] and i'll take a look at it.

Hi,

I held off trying this hack for a long while as it seemed to be "hit or miss" to describe it at best.

Finally the other day I told the plunge, downloaded the multihack file and installed in onto my 6.3.1.1 board (everything all backed up of course! ;-) ).

Anyway, something unusual happens that I can't see described anywhere else here: Whilst the mod works perfectly, when anybody logs in, or whilst they are logged in the following line appears at the top of the screen:

Now this line is at the very top, just before the grahic for my BB loads.

The bulletin boards loads fine, and any new PM are displayed in the correct area, and onced clicked goes to the "in box".

However throught all of this, the above line still appears at the top of the page.

As soon as I click the logout button - voila, it's gone?

Is there any reason why I should be seeing cookie information on my webpages?

(As I said, I used the multihack file, and it reports a 100% success with the hacking. The only other hacks I have on, are the last reply hack and sticky threads.)

Thanks for any input!

Valid link ?

Does anyone have a valid link?
The original link is broken.

Thanks!

Can anybody share a alink with us? Or at least mail it to me, please?

Beautiful, thanks for the link!

my pleasure

Whether work on UBB.classicTM 6.3.1.1?

Yes it sure does, Im running it on 6.3.1.1 with no problems.

Is the issue with the popup already fixed?

I installed the hack on my 6.3.1.1 board and it works perfect except for:

the pm color; the search string doesn't match
the popup.. doesn't show.. although i have enabled it with my CP addon..

could it be that it has something to do with the not adding colors for the new private message?

thnx in advance!

I got the pop-up thing to work! Its awesome.

Only problem is, if they dont read their new message, everytime they go back to the forum summary, it shows the pop-up again until they read it.

Any fix for this?!

hey havoq..

how did you get it to work??

I installed the hack, had to install the CP_mod addon as well, and I got it to work that way. Whats ur problem?

I am not getting the pop up..

that is the only problem..

You dont have a Popup Ad blocker running on your system do you ? Zonealarm and some other firewall programs have these built in as well.

Is there an easy way to allow pop-ups but make it user selectable in Profile. SOme people love it, some people hate it

Yes it would be possible, probably not that hard to do, but to my knowledge it hasn't been done.

Where the heck is this control panel mod file at? I'd like to enable the pop up window to force people to start reading their PMs.

TTT

How do you get the pop up notification to work?

Pop up still doesn;t work for me and when I try to change my style, it asks for a OM Colro setting that doesn't show

I get this error...

You did not complete all required fields

You did not complete: new_pm_color


» Use your browser's back button to return.

I see a problem here...

The directions say to find this...



##############################
# open cp_vars_style_core.pl #
##############################

###############
# search for: #
###############

&ColorRow("Horizontal Rule Color", "", "hr_color", "#FFFFFF", "yes");

------------------------------------------------

This is the closest thing I can find:



&AlternateColors; &ColorRow($vars_wordlets_cp{vars_stylecore_hr}, "", "hr_color", $vars_style_cp{AltColumnColorCurrent}, "yes");



-------------------------------------------------

What should I do???

I get the You did not complete all fields error after I try to update my style template

They are the same line, so what you have found is correct, its just the 2nd one is wordletized, while the 1st is not.
But they are infact the same thing basically.

How come it doesn;t appear in my style settings then...I can;t enter a pm color because it does not appear...

Did I miss something in the instructions?

Ok...so I hacked out the cp.styles.cgi and cp.vars.style.core.cgi so I could update my style templates again

Any suggestions how I can implement the pm color properly?

The 2 lines in cp_vars_style_core.pl look like

[code][/code]

Thank your for the help but...

Damn...

I added the lines as typed and still do not see it in my style templates so I get the same error...

my popup works, has for a long time, though I had to fool around alot with getting it to work and the code

my lines in that file are this though

Tried that too and I still can't get the PM Color to show up in my control panel aty the style settings

Has anybody a working link to this hack or can send it in a mail to me ?

Thx

Thank you for this great Hack!!!
i'm going to apply it right away...

Cheers
