Blink icon then get new messages

An article by VldMods

Then a member get a new message it show: message 1
but you can have it like this: message 1
both nice and easier for members too see then a new messages arrived.

change it in templates/your_templates/header.tpl
save get_mail.gif above and upload it to templates/yours_templates/media/.

find this code:

<!– IF settings.enable_messaging –>
<li><a href=”{virtual_path}{ifelse:settings.fancy_urls,”1″,”account/messages/”,”index.php?
m=account_messages”}” title=”{lang:”core”,”usermenu_messages”}”>{lang:”core”,”usermenu_messages”}
<!– IF session.new_messages > “0″ –> ({session.new_messages})
<!– ENDIF –></a></li>

replace it with this code:

<li><a href=”{virtual_path}{ifelse:settings.fancy_urls,”1″,”account/messages/”,”index.php?
m=account_messages”}” title=”{lang:”core”,”usermenu_messages”}”>{lang:”core”,”usermenu_messages”}
<!– IF session.new_messages > “0″ –> ({session.new_messages})
<img border=”0″ src=”{virtual_path}/templates/your_templates/media/get_mail.gif” />
<!– ENDIF –></a></li>

we found a better solution, change this:
<img border=”0″ src=”{virtual_path}/templates/your_templates/media/get_mail.gif” />
to radioacts solution instead:
<img border=”0″ src=”{virtual_tpl_path}{session.template}/media/get_mail.gif” />

and save a copy of header.tpl before you change anything in case something goes wrong

Hi Gugu

I have my own HTML/CSS, but would need some extra custom programming to be done (I couldn’t do it all myself, for sure) and could sure make use of your expertise (including implementing my design?

I can send you a link to some static pages which show my design idea, after you indicate your interest in working on it with me.

Also, do you know another mobile application, other than the one from luvpoint (don’t like these guys, they wouldn’t even bother to answer a question. ;-) )

Best regards
Norbert
