When you have new PM, an alert will be displayed.
(need private messages mod to run!)
In privatemess.asp look for these lines:
(near bottom of file)
if pmcount >=1 then
Response.Write "<font color=""#000000"" size=""3""><b>" & pmcount & "</b></font>"
add below it:
Response.Write "<script>" & vbNewLine & _
"alert (""You have e new PM!\nTake a look in your InBox!!"");" & vbNewLine & _
"</script>"
_____________________
You can sobstitute it with another javascript opening a new window, sound, ecc...
I think usefoul!

I did this as well, but you need to set a bolean field in the Database to check if this has been displayed before.
Otherwise, someone might want to look at something before reading messages and they will always get that popup. |

no, no, no, no....just first time you enter in forum it pop-up!
if you read it, then it not pop-up more. 
if you prefer to look at something before...i think it's a good reminder. Or not? |

I asked about this the other day, but couldn't find the code - thanks giorgiusx
[edit]
I changed the line to :
"alert (""You have a new PM!\nClick on the Private Messages link at the top of this page to read"");" & vbNewLine & _
Fixing the typo, and making it more "dumbed down", I know people who would read your message and go to their email Inbox

I've used a 'real' popup!
We use a framespage for our Intranet, and I've created a 'hidden' frame (a frame with a height of zero..)
In this hidden frame I open the file startpage.asp.
Startpage.asp checks if there are any unread messages on the forum, and if so, pops up a new window with pm_view.asp loaded.
BTW, we use NT authentication, so maybe it only works if this is used.
BTW2, i've modded the file active_users.asp, and added the case="startpage.asp", to show people who only have this file opened to be 'outside the forums'.
Just copy the code below, and paste it into startpage.asp or something like that.

Any suggestions for improvement are welcome. I've now included almost anything that was included on default.asp, but maybe this can be limited to less includes ? |

| Well if you want in my opinion a better way, take a look at the website im working on right now at http://www.simpersonals.com and send yourself a PM. It pops up a couple JS questions and updates the database to show this message has been displayed. There is a complete admin option in the myhome area that allows you to select different options. I will be adding an option soon to turn off the JS popups. |

This is the one that I'm using.... I used Javascript to give the option to View the PM if the user wants. It also has a audiable sound aleart as well(like a pager).

Blink, thanks! That's usefull!!
Edgey, you can put that code for example in default.asp, or just in inc_header.asp (if you want to show it on virtually any page).
You can also, just like me, create a completely new page, which includes all the necessary code, ánd includes this piece of code.
As long as you include the following files at the start of your new page it should work:
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="config.asp"-->
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="inc_func_secure.asp" -->
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="inc_sha256.asp"-->
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="inc_header.asp" -->
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="inc_func_member.asp" -->

No....simply insert the code only in default.asp, forum.asp e topic.asp.
Only if u insert the code in inc_header will be show in every page.
Good mod...it's work fine...
I write all the code in an external file that i include in pages above.

I really like the "beep" part of this and have uploaded a cool beeper sound. The only problem is that it only beeps AFTER you click "cancel". It does not beep when message pops up, or even when clicking "OK", only when clicking cancel and going to the regular forums. Any ideas how to fix this so it beeps as the message pops up?
Thanks. |
