Animated PM icon

[dreadkgt]

I have tried this at my site

http://www.therisenguild.com

And it works great. The graphic shows up just fine when a New PM comes in. However..the code i'm using (I put in absolute a href to try to see if that would work but it doesn't anyhow) doesn't seem to make that picture a link. Dunno why.  Shows up fine, just ignore the whole <a href> no matter what I use in it.

Code Select Expand

if($context['user']['unread_messages']>0)
                        echo '<br />'.$bullet.'<a href="http://www.therisenguild.com/tinyportal/index.php?action=pm">'  , ' <img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/english/newpm.gif" border="0"></a>';

How do I get this to work in Tiny Portal User Block, 8.6 is the version I use.

forum/Themes/default/TPortalBlocks.template.php

Open and find:

Code Select Expand

if($context['user']['unread_messages']>0)
echo '<br />'.$bullet.'<a style="font-weight: bold; " href="', $scripturl, '?action=pm">' .$txt['tp-pm2'].' ',$context['user']['unread_messages'] , '</a>';

Change to:

Code Select Expand

                   if($context['user']['unread_messages']>0)
                        echo '<br />'.$bullet.'<a style="font-weight: bold; " href="', $scripturl, '?action=pm">' .$txt['tp-pm2'].' ',$context['user']['unread_messages'] , ' <img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/msg.gif" border="0"><bgsound src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/Mail01.wav" border="0"></a>';

Thank you IchBinâââ,¬Å¾Ã,¢

Will this work on a non Tiny Portal Site, not that I plan on getting rid of Tiny Portal, I love it.

I would like to know how to do this on a regular site if anyone knows

If you go back a couple of pages you'll see how to make this work in any theme.

Thanks, I will keep looking that code is not in the theme I was looking into, no worries. Thanks anyway

The exact same code may not be found. But for those themes that have the PM info with user info on the main page just look for something like this in the theme.

$context['user']['unread_messages']

Great thank you

ok i tried and it works!

but to have a sense, should we put off the normal advise of a pm received? (i mean the one that apperas in a popup)
