I like that too ... and used to have a mod that offered the member sound and/or pop-up.

I'll get your mod too ... but for many of my members, who visit the forum while at work, sound notification isn't always a good thing. They may have the speakers turned off so as to not disturb others ... or worse ... they are NOT supposed to be surfing around, but rather working.  

Would you consider adding the pop-up so that it's an option to the user?

Any takers or comments on how to get this going for SE 1.5.1 or 1.5.2?

Edit: Ugh. I just had my co-webmaster install it on 1.5.1 FINAL, and I noticed a few bugs/errors. Unfortunately, I can't fix it. I don't have access to a computer that will let me download/upload files (stupid library access) so I can't fix.. I know what the problem is, but I can't change my file.

There's problems with the spacing, (there should be more tabs in place, and not normal spacebar spaces) as well as a few dumb errors in the $request= lines that it asks to search/replace. Easy to fix, but nobody who kows how to manually edit the files can fix it.

Grrr. Anybody else mind trying to fix it? The problems are mainly in the InstantMessage.php part of the .mod file.

Maybe I can grab access to my friends' computer and work on it sometime soon..

function getMenuHTML(){

tried to download the zip
http://www.ufba.org/Downloads/index.php?download=NewMessageAlert151.zip
but didn't work

Anybody has a download for this mod?

I've got YaBBse 1.5.3 and PfaBB v.6b , any problems to expect from that when installing this mod?

[1979Z28]

I removed the file from my server, since it only works for 1.5.1 build 43, and not 1.5.1 final, or anything newer, I'm working on updating it, and should have it out, and fixed, later today

[gijs]

cool! thanx  

[oldiesmann]

At some point, I may try to see if I can get this mod to do a little more than it currently does. I would love to have it do the following:

Instead of saying how many new messages you have:

It pops up and says "You have x new message(s). Read it(them) now?" and the user could click either "yes" or "no". If the user chose "yes", it would go to the im inbox, otherwise, it would close the alert box and not bug the user for a while... I'm sure this is possible, because you can do a lot with javascript, but it's a lot of work, and I'm still trying to get the edit moods function of my moods mod to work...

[1979Z28]

Should be fairly easy to do, just have it pop up a 'Confirm' or 'Cancel' box, asking if they want to go to their inbox to view their new PMs.

Should be fairly easy, but I was called out of town unexpectedly. I should be able to get to this tomorrow

1979Z28,
got anything that I can use 'just for the time being' YaBBse 1.5.3. and PfaBB v.6b?

btw I like the more advanced functionalities you suggested. When there is only 1 new message, I like the idea of reading the headline of that IM in the pop/up.

[1979Z28]

Ok, try this out

I went through and updated it for 1.5.3. It should work for those. I haven't added any new functions to it other than a confirm box whenever you get a new IM.

Download the file here

Anybody test this out yet?

[gijs]

not working!

two problems:

- boardmod gives 3 errors when trying to edit instantmessage.php (the.mod used spaces instead of a tab in front of "global $username, ...etc" --> both when changing IMpreferences and IMpreferences2)
and english.lng. (the .mod used double quotes " instead of single ' )
I fixed it and now that part is working, boardmod gives no errors.

- I get a blank screen when trying to acces the site after installing the mod (db update and boardmod). uninstalling the mod with boardmod solves this problem, but leaves me without the mod (ofcourse). Maybe a small problem, but the mod ain't working yet...  


btw I was sleeping between your last posts... there is an 8 h. time difference I think...
