private message coloured notification

[Steve]

This little phpbb3 snippet displays unread private messages as red.

Can be used on other styles other than prosilver and subsilver2
instructions

prosilver

open styles/prosilver/template/overall_header.html
find:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_DISPLAY_PM --> (<a href="{U_PRIVATEMSGS}">{PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO}</a>)<!-- ENDIF -->

replace with:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_USER_NEW_PRIVMSG or PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO_UNREAD --><a href="{U_PRIVATEMSGS}" style=" color: #FF0000;">({PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO})<!-- IF S_USER_NEW_PRIVMSG --><!-- ELSE --><!-- ENDIF --></a>
		                <!-- ELSE -->(<a href="{U_PRIVATEMSGS}" >{PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO}</a>)<!-- ENDIF -->

to display unread pm info,
use this code:

Code: Select all

	<!-- IF S_USER_LOGGED_IN --><!-- IF S_USER_NEW_PRIVMSG -->(<a href="{U_PRIVATEMSGS}" style="color:#FF0000;">{PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO}</a>)<!-- IF S_USER_NEW_PRIVMSG --><!-- ELSE --><!-- ENDIF -->
		<!-- ELSE -->(<a href="{U_PRIVATEMSGS}" >{PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO}</a>)<!-- ENDIF --><!-- ENDIF -->
		<!-- IF PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO_UNREAD -->
		(<a href="{U_PRIVATEMSGS}" style="color:#FF0000;">{PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO_UNREAD}</a>)<!-- ENDIF -->

subsilver2

open styles/subsilver2/template/overall_header.html
find:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_DISPLAY_PM -->  <a href="{U_PRIVATEMSGS}"><img src="{T_THEME_PATH}/images/icon_mini_message.gif" width="12" height="13" alt="*" /> {PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO}<!-- IF PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO_UNREAD -->, {PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO_UNREAD}<!-- ENDIF --></a><!-- ENDIF -->

replace with:

Code: Select all

					<!-- IF S_USER_NEW_PRIVMSG or PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO_UNREAD -->  <a href="{U_PRIVATEMSGS}" style=" color: #FF0000;"><img src="{T_THEME_PATH}/images/icon_mini_message.gif" width="12" height="13" alt="*" /> {PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO}<!-- IF S_USER_NEW_PRIVMSG --><!-- ELSE --><!-- ENDIF --></a>
                    <!-- ELSE -->  <a href="{U_PRIVATEMSGS}" ><img src="{T_THEME_PATH}/images/icon_mini_message.gif" width="12" height="13" alt="*" /> {PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO}</a><!-- ENDIF -->

to display unread pm info,
use this code:

Code: Select all

	    <!-- IF S_USER_LOGGED_IN --><!-- IF S_USER_NEW_PRIVMSG --><a href="{U_PRIVATEMSGS}" style="color:#FF0000;"><img src="{T_THEME_PATH}/images/icon_mini_message.gif" width="12" height="13" alt="*" /> {PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO}</a><!-- IF S_USER_NEW_PRIVMSG --><!-- ELSE --><!-- ENDIF -->
        <!-- ELSE --><a href="{U_PRIVATEMSGS}" >{PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO}</a><!-- ENDIF --><!-- ENDIF -->
        <!-- IF PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO_UNREAD -->
        <a href="{U_PRIVATEMSGS}" style="color:#FF0000;"> , {PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO_UNREAD}</a><!-- ENDIF -->

This tweak can also be done using images for unread/read pm messages

Hope I am posting in the right place this time. What exactly does that 2nd piece do in prosilver?: and is it part of the process (does not seem to be).

to display unread pm info,
use this code:

Code: Select all

 <!-- IF S_USER_LOGGED_IN --><!-- IF S_USER_NEW_PRIVMSG -->(<a href="{U_PRIVATEMSGS}" style="color:#FF0000;">{PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO}</a>)<!-- IF S_USER_NEW_PRIVMSG --><!-- ELSE --><!-- ENDIF -->
          <!-- ELSE -->(<a href="{U_PRIVATEMSGS}" >{PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO}</a>)<!-- ENDIF --><!-- ENDIF -->
          <!-- IF PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO_UNREAD -->
          (<a href="{U_PRIVATEMSGS}" style="color:#FF0000;">{PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO_UNREAD}</a>)<!-- ENDIF -->

one part tells you if you have more than one un-read pm, it will tell you you have one new PM, and 5 unread! or something like that i never get that many PMs but I am sure Steve does or he will tell you!
