PunBB Forums → PunBB 1.2 modifications, plugins and integrations → "New Private Message" Indicator??
I was wondering if there was a way to display a small animation (or any kind of indicator really) when there is a new private message waiting to be read. I've searched and can't seem to find a way to do so. Any help would be great. Thanks.
Wrong forum. Moved.
we made this : http://www.shiftzone.com/forum/img/mail.gif
Btw, you can use every gif for it...
Put the url in your browser, because we block hotlinking.. 
And put in your lang file (pms.php) this :
'New messages' => '<img src="./img/mail.gif" width="12" height="12"> You have mail...',thanks guys!
Sorry about the wrong forum. This kinda falls between catagories.
Where in the pms.php am i supposed to put it? At the end? Do i replace one that is already there?
Put the url in your browser, because we block hotlinking..
how do you block pics like that from other sites hotlinking to it? is it in the httpd.conf for apache somewhere? any url u can refer me to? thx
put this .htaccess in the root from your server. Keep in mind that you don't see it in a FTP program when you upload it. You must use your admin panel to control this file. Also read something about it, so you know what you are doing.
This is what i use...
Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.*\.)?PUTYOUTDOMAINNAMEHERE.com(/)?.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(mpeg|rar|zip|wmv|xml|asx|asf|gif|swf|png|jpg|pps|css|mpg|avi)$ http://localhost/ [R,NC]put this .htaccess in the root from your server. Keep in mind that you don't see it in a FTP program when you upload it. You must use your admin panel to control this file. Also read something about it, so you know what you are doing.
thank you ever so much! yeah i know a little about what goes on with the rewrite rules and .htaccess, but this is definately a jump start!
Your welcome
I still have a few questions unanswered. I have everything uploaded correctly. I've attached the necessary code in pms.php
I moved the menu to the sidebar. Could that interfere with anything?
Also, in this line: 'New messages' => '<img src="./img/mail.gif" width="12" height="12"> You have mail...',
is there supposed to be a "." before /img/mail....etc....?
I would really like to get this working, but am still struggling
Just as i put it here..thats the way we have done it.
Ok. It's probably just an ID10T problem, if you know what i mean.
I'll work on on it and maybe try reloading some things. Thanks for your help.
