Great mod. Fits in well with the site in the colours you supply. Just one thing, with the title for the window, would it not be better to call it New Private Message rather than Webforumz Messenger in the mod package.
Change the MessengerTitle to the following:MessengerTitle = "New Private Message" ''' change this to your own title. Just a thought. Once again a great mod for PM's. |
Cheers,
David Greening |

That's the thing David.... you can call it whatever you like. I just prefered that for my forum, but there is no reason why it can't say 'You've a new PM' or 'Message Alert!' or whatever. I know everyone will find something suitable for them. (by the way, titles should be brief, or it wraps to next line (which looks crap)
Thanks everyone for the positive feedback, and I have to agree and say that it's the best PM notification MOD yet.... although all window's box haterz may disagree here.

| Love the mod. I have one small problem. I use a banner ad on my Snitz forum and I notice when I added this mod the page refreshes when the page loads. Basically, it prevents the first ad from being seen. Is that just something else within my form that is conflicting with this mod or is there a way to prevent the refresh in-between page loads? |

Hi.....
There should be NO page refresh.
The code just does not even reference a refresh, so
I cannot see why this is happening.
If you can give me more details, and supply a .txt version, then I can happily look at this.
I signed up to your forum to test this, but i guess you took the mod offline.
Cheers, |

| One other quick question. Is there a way to increase the time the toast is displayed? |

Hi Shannon...
It works perfectly for me on your forums.
To increase the length of time it stays on the screen, find this line:Id = setTimeout("hidePanel();",5000);...change that 5000, to 10000 for 10 seconds.... 20000 = 20 secs, etc, etc |

There appears to be a bug with opera....
I've fixed it locally.... but I'll update the zip later and post here when I have done so.
I will also add the length of time it stays on the screen as a user definiable variable. |

The table definitions need to be in capitol letters otherwise an error occurs:
strSql = "Select M_Name from " & strmembertableprefix & "MEMBERS where MEMBER_ID = " & pmfrom

Has anyone found any further bugs with this? I would like someone with linux / unix / mac to post here saying how the notifications look... if they work at all.
Any browser issues, I'd like to know about please.
Cheers,
Rob |

I've installed a version on my forum here and plan on changing the appearance of the pop up to suit my site some time.
Also I made some minor changes to the code so if you've got unread PMs it will pop up on all pages unless your viewing one or on the default Private Messages page. 
No bugs which I have found as of yet. |

First off, GREAT mod. I will be going live with this soon after testing is finished. I can't seem to get the multiple PM's message to show. For example, say I send 5 PM's from various accounts to my admin account. I then login to the Admin account, but there is no notification of multiple waiting messages. If I then (still logged in under admin) go to my PM inbox and delete the unread PM's and send myself (admin) a PM, the notification comes up as "new PM from admin" which is good . But any ideas on why there is no notification for multiple PM's? I see that it is in the code and I did, strangely enough, have the multiple PM alert box come up once during testing, but only once and I was not able to catch the circumstances that caused it to. I also noticed that the messenger will not appear when sending multiple PM's at once. For example, sending a PM to myself three times (schef,schef,schef) will not prompt the messenger to wake up. The code is still stock from the zip.
I will be adding a feature in pm_options.asp to disable this for some users. There will no doubt be some that don't think this is such a great thing.
Edit: I also had to clear up the following line:
<%=strImageUrl%>/mail.jpg
^ had to be changed to v
<%=strImageUrl%>mail.jpg
in order to work correctly for me. |

Hi schef...
Basically, you will only get the multiple message alert ONCE per session. If yo want to see it, then just close all browsers, and then hit the page.
Hope this helps! |
