When a person sends a private message, a popup block will automaticly show up to the receiver screen. Could we do this?

I looked into this and couldn't find a way to do it.

So I added a block to another module that I am developing. I have intended to produce a module containing the block for distribution but haven't gotten around to it yet.

It needs to be changed to cater for multi-language support, but I haven't gotten around to it yet either.

I also want to add to it to notify when a "Notification" from the notify system is there.

The code is quite simple. I have only used it for XOOPS 2.2.2 so I don't know if it will work in other versions.

//               E-Xoops: Content Management for the Masses                  //
//                       < http://www.xoops.com >                          //
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------- //
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------- //

function Check_PM()
{
    global $xoopsDB,$xoopsUser;
    if (is_object($xoopsUser)) {
        $uid = $xoopsUser->getVar('uid');
        $uname = $xoopsUser->getVar('uname');
        $sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $db->prefix('priv_msgs`) WHERE `to_userid` = $uid AND `read_msg` = 0";
        $result = $xoopsDB->query($sql);
        list($count_PMs) = $xoopsDB->fetchRow($result);
        switch ($count_PMs):
        case 0:
            Return false;
        case 1:
            $block['message'] = ".XOOPS_URL."/modules/pm/>".$uname." you have ".$count_PMs." unread message.";
            break;
        default:
            $block['message'] = ".XOOPS_URL."/modules/pm/>".$uname." you have ".$count_PMs." unread messages.";
        endswitch;
        Return $block;
    } else {
        Return false;
    }
}

?>

You can use javascript in your theme to do this.

Let me do it again and i'll post back how.

The pop up will show next time the logo is loaded while they are logged in.

Check back later.

Replace the < body > tag in your theme with
<{if $xoops_isuser}><{insert name="pms"}>
<{if $msgcount > 0}>
<body onLoad="javascript: alert('Check Your Inbox!')"><{/if}><{else}><body><{/if}><{else}><body><{/if}>


And save the following as insert.pms.php in your class/smarty/plugins folder
function smarty_insert_pms()
{
GLOBAL $xoopsUser;
$pm_handler =& xoops_gethandler('privmessage');
$uid = $xoopsUser->getVar('uid');
$criteria = new CriteriaCompo(new Criteria('read_msg', 0));
$criteria->add(new Criteria('to_userid', $uid));
$msgcount = $pm_handler->getCount($criteria);
$GLOBALS['xoopsTpl']->assign('msgcount', $msgcount);
}
?>

Hi there, can you elaborate a little on what you mean by "replace the < body > tag". I've tried a few different things but it always seems to destroy my template..

In your theme.html file

change
<body>


to
<{if $xoops_isuser}><{insert name="pms"}>
<{if $msgcount > 0}>
<body onLoad="java script: alert('Check Your Inbox!')"><{else}><body><{/if}><{else}><body><{/if}>

Hrm, well I've tried that and it doesn't seem to do anything. No popup... It's not destroying my page anymore though :).

Any thaughts?.. could a different part of theme.html be interfearing?

My bad. Remove the space between java and script. I posted it correctly, but for some reason it gets a space put in it. Same code but instead of java script it should have javascript

The bad part about this code is that the aleret will show everytime they refresh the page, or go to a new page, including inbox, till the check the mail.

I'll try to figure out a better way to do this.

Ok. I think I got this going good, and need some people to try it.

This seems to work on XOOPS version 2.0.13.2

I have not tried it with version 2.2.3, but if someone wants to try it out and let me know if it works great.

Download the ZIP file here!

This is for English language only as far as right now.
I have never tried to make anything multi language, but if this thing works I might do it.

Let me know,
Steve
