Wow pretty cool. Would really rock if the incoming messages popped up too so people could easily message back and forth.
But this functionality very nice.

Alan's iamviet.com site does a great job of popping up new messages...
Alan will you give us a head start by letting us know how you popup new PM's?

it's similar to the code that checks to see if you have NEW message for default.asp, but if there is a new PM it opens a pop up with unread PM(s). Though this can get QUITE annoying if you have 5 unread PMs and must go through 5 pop ups...
Just something to consider.

One idea would be to put a checkbox or an option button on the pager to enable/disable the PM popups

Yes I saw his popup. As soon as I saw that, I started thinking about this sort of MOD(paging) using that popup. And the very next day what does someone post! I also can't figure out why the event sound is so quiet. I can hear it but just barely.
As for multiple messages...what if it just popped up the most recent?

This is really cool! and very easy to setup if you already have PM and Active Users installed!!
you won't need to open up 5 popups cause you can just go back to your inbox from the origional popup the pager is just really there to tell you how many you have.

He's how I did the pop up pm's. Hope this helps.
if strDBType = "access" then
strSqL = "SELECT count(M_TO) as [pmcount] "
else
strSqL = "SELECT count(M_TO) as pmcount "
end if
strSql = strSql & " FROM " & strMemberTablePrefix & "MEMBERS , " & strTablePrefix & "PM "
strSql = strSql & " WHERE " & strMemberTablePrefix & "MEMBERS.M_NAME = '" & strDBNTUserName & "'"
strSql = strSql & " AND " & strMemberTablePrefix & "MEMBERS.MEMBER_ID = " & strTablePrefix & "PM.M_TO "
strSql = strSql & " AND " & strTablePrefix & "PM.M_READ = 0 "
Set rsPM = my_Conn.Execute(strSql)
pmcount = rsPM("pmcount")
if pmcount > 0 and pmcount < 3 then %>
<script language=javascript>window.open('pop_pm.asp','_blank','width=400,height=450,scrollbars=yes')</script>
<%
end if
rsPM.close
set rsPM = nothing
Notice that it only pops up when the use have 1-3 pm's.

Looks like it would go in privatemess.asp
However, if you just use this code you will get a 404 unless you have a pop_pm.asp to display the PM

That is true, I posted the code for mvaughn to implement on his mod. It seems like he has a pop_pm as well so could just it.

It would be cool if, when the incoming message popped up, a box to enter a reply was right there in the incoming message to save a step. Then after it was sent the message stayed there and refreshed at set intervals if someone wanted to wait for a reply to their reply and so on. Then a person could save the entire chat session or delete all messages in the session with one click.

I've been working on the popup new messages and I think I have it working... It's hard to test when brinkster goes up and down every 30 seconds.
If you can reach the demo page in my first post and send a pm to yourself the Pager should popop the message.

Shoot, trying to test it, but something very bad is happening over there. I kept getting Internal Server Error 500 and
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
Cannot open database ''. It may not be a database that your application recognizes, or the file may be corrupt.

I have updated the pager.zip file to include on new file...
all you need to do is replace the old pager files with the new ones.
It will only popup 3 private messages at a time. (until the pager window refreshes, then it will popup 3 more)

I finally got it to load but this error appeared in the pager window:
error '80020009'
Exception occurred.
/pionzone/forum/pm_pop_pager.asp, line 165
This happened after I successfully sent myself. When the pager refreshed, the PM popped up but where the number of new messages should be was where the above error message was.
How hard would it be to make the reply to work the same as the pm_pop_send.asp instead of bringing up the entire web page?
Things are looking really good though!
