Animated PM icon

[USO_Joe]

I added a nice little feature to my sites, just a .gif which makes the "Register" button flash red when someone is not logged in, .. basically drawing new people to the site to the register button. I was wondering if anyone knows how, and would do me the favor of making me a little snippet or something that will make my button flash when someone has an unread PM. I'm sure it's pretty easy... I'm just a NEWB! lol..... if someone could hook me up with that, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Thank you!

Great ideas!

for the PM button you need to check if there are new pm's..like:

Code: [Select]

if($context['user']['is_logged'] && $context['user']['unread_messages']>0)
  echo 'flashing PM button code here.....';
elseif($context['user']['is_logged'] && $context['user']['unread_messages']==0)
  echo 'normal PM button code here...';

You might want to show the button only to members..if not you need remove the $context['user']['is_logged'] part.

You can see what the register button looks like at:

If you have a prog like Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro take the original icon/button (gif format), select all and invert the colours, then save it as a seperate gif. Then with Image Ready, Animation Shop or similar make an animated gif out of the two gif's.

I already made the buttons, I was just looking for the code.

Is it possible to get the Register button in norwegian with the text "Registrer" ?
