Hi

I have the private message mod installed and it works great.

However I would like to get the "new messages" link (which lights up when you have new messages) into the universal loginbox that my site has.

http://www.amateurillustrator.com

http://www.amateurillustrator.com/forums/

so people know if they have new messages even if they are not on the forums page.

this is my univeral login box code:

<?php

define('PUN_ROOT', './forums/');
include './forums/include/common.php';

global $pun_user;

if ($pun_user['is_guest']) {
echo '<a>Username  &  Password</a>';
  echo "<form color=\"000000\" id=\"login\" method=\"post\" action=\"/forums/login.php?action=in\" onsubmit=\"return process_form(this)\">
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"form_sent\" value=\"1\" />
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"redirect_url\" value=\"http://www.amateurillustrator.com/join.php\" />
<input type=\"text\" name=\"req_username\" size=\"25\" maxlength=\"25\" />
<input type=\"password\" name=\"req_password\" size=\"16\" maxlength=\"16\" />
<input type=\"submit\" name=\"login\" value=\"Login\"/>
</form>";

echo '<a href="join.php">Want an account?</a>';

echo '<a>                    </a>';echo '<a>         or          </a>';echo '<a>                   </a>';
echo '<a href="/forums/login.php?action=forget">Forgot your password?</a>';
}

else {
echo "Logged in as: ".pun_htmlspecialchars($pun_user['username'])."
<br>Click <a href=\"/forums/login.php?action=out&id=".$pun_user['id']."&location_out=".$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']."\">here</a> to log out.</div>";
}

?>

now I have tried adding this line to the else bit which is the same line added to header.php to make the new messages link appear inside punbb:

require(PUN_ROOT.'include/pms/header_new_messages.php');

but I get the following errorr:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_REQUIRE in /home/amateuri/public_html/testing.php on line 95

Any help would be great, thanks a lot

cheers

there is some overlapping at the bootom...you can only see the very top of "post new topic"

what do you think causes this?

Any help would be great

thanks,

Sorry in advance as this is not really punbb's problem but I think this forum may be more helpful than coppermines.

So I have bridged coppermine with punbb and it works fine they share a cookie etc....however I get trouble when:

to include php code in the header of coppermine you must put it in a file named theme.php (for those of you unfamiliar with coppermine).  So I have put a loginbox in that file and it works fine without any parse errors but there is a 'if' and 'else' statement in the loginbox php code and it refers to $define_user.  So what is happening is that it always comes back as guest no matter what....even if I am logged into coppermine and punbb.

By the way the same loginbox works fine as a standalone .php file in the same directory as theme.php its just when I try and merge them that it breaks and the cookie starts only returning guest.

I know this is probably not punbb's problem but I am just wondering if anyone has any idea what I am doing wrong.

Thanks

Sorry I will try to be concise with my explanation.

So I have integrated punbb into my site reasonably well by modding the main.tpl file.

However I would really like to have a php function (a login box I have already written and works great) running in my menu bar (that I have put in the main.tpl file)...now I have found that php does not execute inside the main.tpl file so I tried renaming the main.tpl file main.tpl.php and then modding the footer.php (or header.php I can't remember) to look for main.tpl.php.  But it still doesn't run the php.

So I found a workaround which is to use an inline frame, make the php loginbox a seperate file and link to that....this works great until you click on a link in the login box (eg 'Forgort your password?') and then the link opens in the inline frame and you can only see 1/10th of the page.

Now a friend told me I could maybe fix this by putting a javascript in the login php file that tells the links to open in a new window....but I have little knowledge of how to do this.

Any help would be very greatly apreciated....Ideally there would be a mod to allow the main.tpl file to run php but I don't think this is possible.  What would also work is if there was a php command to make links in php open in a new window (or ideally a window of my choosing)  I doubt this is possible though.

Thanks

Nick
