Topic: pm system wont display new messages

if i send a message on my board everything seems to be working fine.  however the header of my page doesnt display if a new message has arrived.  i assume its something wrong either header_new_messages.php or header.php.  i looked around but cant find what.

im using pms ver 1.1.1 and my board is 1.1.5.  however i thought it might have something to do with my main.tpl.  i basicly took the entire header out of it and replaced it with an include to my own. that means i the header of the actuall site is in a different directory and the javascript is there too.

if you have any suggestions i would love to hear them. smile

It sounds like you've missed to include some file. Try to add some echo-lines and see what happens.

Re: pm system wont display new messages

ok good idea.  it seems that it does include header_new_message.php tries to execute the code when a new message appears but a variable must be different.

if i send a new message and use these echo statements this is what i get.

// Check for new messages
        $result_messages = $db->query('SELECT COUNT(id) FROM '.$db->prefix.'messages WHERE showed=0 AND owner='.$cur_user['id']) or error('Unable to check for new messages', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());
        if ($db->result($result_messages, 0)){
            $tpl_temp .= '<br><a class="punhot" href="message_list.php">'.$lang_pms['New messages'].'</a>';
echo ("should display new message<br>");
        }

start hnm
check new message
should display new message
below require

silly me.  i posted the require code in the wrong place.  i thought i check it twice but it looks similar to another statement.  completely my falut though.

thanks for the mod Chacmool!

Re: pm system wont display new messages

your instructions just fine. the code just above where the included looks similar to code on another part of the board.  my mistake though. smile
