Alrighty, well i have posted this in another forum here, but have gotten no response so iw as hoping that perhaps it would be better placed here. Firstly, I am running version RC3. Anyways I am trying to set something up so taht when a user recieves a new private message they recieve a pop up window alert saying You have # new messages in your Inbox. Click HERE to read them. Or something. OR if not in a popup just a line of text i can place somewhere pertinent that would say essentially the same thing jsut not in its own popup. ANYBODY know what im talking about?
I have a little information as I have been at this for months. I know the private mesaging system works by sending mySQL entries from one user id to another user id. Hence the columns "from_userid" and "to_userid". I believe that i will need to query through php the entire table of pvtmsgs and have it see if that users ID has any entries in the "to)userid" column, AS WELL AS in the "read_msg" column, (which i think is an entry of 1 for unread and 0 for read). Can someone help me with the rest of this puzzle?!?
