Pm notifier

[Taz]

Can you show me the code forum promotion uses for the pm notifier? I want to use it on my forum.

That code was built into our theme when it was first created. It's part of the theme and not something like a mod that can be added to other forums.

Not entirely true..

I had one on my old forum. It's just a bit of code. Not custom to FP at all. You can pull the info from the database, create a style box (or pull an old one) and make it return the info.

Don't see how what Fergal said isn't true, man. What you said is just what you did for your PM notification.

Well, can you give me a similar code to it? It doesn't have to be exact.

Sorry Nathan, I wasn't suggesting that it was impossible for other forums to implement this, I've seen other forums with something similar. My point was that we don't use a mod for our PM displays, the code we use was embedded in the theme by the original theme designer.

The OP asked about the code in FP and that's what I was replying to.

Maybe you could help Taz out, by providing that code, assuming it's not copyrighted?

 

[Taz]

Yes, it doesn't have to be exact. I just want something that will notify my members when they get pms. If you could, please provide something 😀.

Must admit, my bad. I took what you said in the wrong way.

I don't have the code, however a simple way to do it, is grab the code that outputs the private messages on the header (or where it has it, the bit where it says "(x new messages)" and use that. Otherwise if you want a more advanced alternative, go into the includes/functions.php file and find the appropriate code.

Copyrighted code on a open source project isn't my thing.. The whole point of open source is to be free.

Hello Taz,

Here is similar PM notified like FP but it is a mod : https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/mod/ ... king_pm_2/

If you know coding then you can design it exactly like FP PM notifier.

 

[Taz]

i know a litltle bit of coding, but I'm not that advanced unfortunately.

all forums are used php mailer xlass to send mails .
you can also use php mail () funcrion in your coding. it is a inbuil php function
