[Done 1.4.0] New Instant Messages Alert Box

[PoohBear]

I tried the above code with 1.5.1 but is doesn't work.
If anyone can help it will be appreciated.

[PoohBear]

Well I guess nobody can help  
Oh well it was worth a try, I will give it a go myself but don't expect anything for a few years as I am no PHP expert!.....

Woohoo!

I was able to get it working on 1.5.1

To make it easier on anybody else who would want this, I put the modified .mod file and the ORIGINAL dbmod file (how about that combination of words?) in a .zip and put it up on my server. I didn't change the dbmod file, since I believe it would still work for 1.5.1, but I did change the .mod file, and update it with the info Hope nobody minds, but I thought I'd share with others. *shrugs* All credit goes to the original creators, and yada yada.

EDIT: Link removed due to not working. Look on the next page, or click here for this for 1.5.3.

I just noticed a big typo that has been in this mod since the first 'update' for this, for 1.4.0.

*Old Content Removed*

Edit: I got it fixed!@! Works perfectly now in my forum. My suggestion is for everybody to either re-download the above zip file. If you have a previous version installed, you'll probably need to tweak the below code (also found in the .mod file in the .zip above) to fit your version of YaBB SE.

Code Select Expand


<add after>
                        <tr>
                           <td valign=top>
                             <font size="2"><b>' . $txt[newmessages5] . ':</b></font>
                          </td>
                          <td>
                             <font size=2>
                             <select name="alerter">
                                 <option value="0"' . $aler0 . '>' . $txt[163] . '</option>
                                 <option value="1"' . $aler1 . '>' . $txt[164] . '</option>
                             </select>
                             </font>
                          </td>
                        </tr>
</add after>


As far as I know, this mod will now work *perfectly* for 1.5.1, build 42. Lemme know of any other problems

I wonder if I can poke fun of the people who never noticed/never fixed this.. *evil laughter*

Works perfect on my forum as well. Thanks M8

My forum version is YABB 1.5.0
i add your MOD
run installdb and Install pak success but it 's not worked
when install, what's file MOD fix
can you show me all code of that file
seem my board have problem
oh damn it

[1979Z28]

The files and stuff that I put up are only for 1.5.1, and it's also a boardmod file, not yabbpak The 1.5.0 coding is back in the middle of page 3. If I get bored a little later today I might go through and fix the earlier 1.5.0 code with the typo fix that I found though. I'm not sure about the YabbPak stuff, as I've never used it before

Can't get it to work with 1.5.1 either.  Had to manually change and it totally messes with the Sub.php file.

All sorts of fatal errors.

to bad!!

I upgrade to 1.5.1 and my members really like the alert box!
 

[Spaceman-Spiff]

i think there's something like this for 1.5.1
like the you've got mail sound mod

[goldpicks]

I just test the "You got mail" IM MOD.  I didn't really care for it.

[1979Z28]

If you use my .zip file, it should work for 1.5.1. Make sure you're using my file, which is near the top on this page, and not the older 1.5.0 or other files.

I will admit, that I updated it with a heavily modified 1.5.1 board, but none of the files that are changed in this mod, should be changed enough for this mod to not work normally. I've tested the 'You've got Mail' mod as well, and I didn't like it. Many of the users on my board didn't like it either, and they prefer the popup alert box.

Anyways, I'll go through this mod, and make sure it works for a CLEAN 1.5.1 board, though it should already. What kind of errors are you getting with the Subs.php file? Maybe if I know which specific errors you're having, I can find what's going on Pooh was able to get it to work, and it woks perfectly on my board, so I'm not quite sure why it won't work with yours. How heavily modified is your board?

EDIT: I just tested it on a CLEAN install of 1.5.1, and it worked perfectly for me.

I installed this mod on my YaBB SE board (1.51 B45), and it works fine. I do have a suggestion though. How about instead of an "ok" button you replace it with "Read Message(s) Now" and "Read Message(s) Later" buttons? I think this would be more useful than a plain old "OK" button. The "Read Now" button should create a link to "/index.php?board=;action=imview" (internal linking is wonderful ) and obviously the "Read Later" button would just close the alert box like the current "OK" button does, except it would prevent the box from popping up again for a specified amount of time...

[oldiesmann]

Ok... Just a little heads up here... If you're using the AdvIM system, be careful installing this mod because the code is a little different in that version of InstantMessage.php...

[Bartman]

Besides having to get the Search For set-up correctly to match the files used in YaBB SE 1.5.1 ... I got a parse error on Subs.php on line 320.

When I ran the db update, it showed that I already had the tables set-up from my previous version of IM Alert.

[Bartman]

All I'm really interested in at this time is having the Alert Pop-up when a member receives a new Instant Message.

I've had this feature before back when I was using YaBB SE 1.4.1.

I'm still learning how SE 1.5.1 Final is configured, so if anyone has any quick suggestions ... I'm all ears. I thought about reconfiguring this mod, but the itself is giving me a MySQL error as is.
