How can I make a block to show my PMs ?
make a php custom block with the following code;
global $xoopsUser;
if( $xoopsUser )
{
  $pm_handler =& xoops_gethandler('privmessage');
  $criteria = new CriteriaCompo(new Criteria('read_msg', 0));
  $criteria->add(new Criteria('to_userid', $xoopsUser->getVar('uid')));
  $pm = $pm_handler->getCount($criteria);
}

if( $pm )
{
  echo "/viewpmsg.php" title="Read your new Private Messages">Private Messages ($pm)n";
}
else
{
  echo "No new Private Messagesn";
}

 using inbox waring global

In addition to this nice feature, the following is something I came across on the forum:

Quote:


<{php}>
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);
<{/php}>


This will allow you to use the following anywhere in your theme:

Quote:

<{if $msgcount > 0}>
Inbox (<{$msgcount}>)
<{else}>
Inbox
<{/if}>


This way you’ll see just ‘Inbox’ when there are no messages and ‘Inbox (3)’ when you have, for example, 3 messages.

Also, you will need to wrap the PHP with the ifuser statement, otherwise non logged in users will have problems with the page not being rendered.

Quote:


<{if $xoops_isuser}>
<{php}>
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);
<{/php}>
<{/if}>

This doesnt work for me...

It displays the "Inbox" fine but doesn't pick up there is new messages.

I tried just

Inbox (<{$msgcount}>)

and it showed "Inbox (0)" even though i had one...?


Edit: wait im using the ipb module it edits core files... ah now what?!

 Re: Inbox messages display in 2RC2

 toddherrold   Published 07/25/2005 3:51   Quite a regular   Joined 06/13/2004   Comments 274    

Upgraded to 2RC2 and lost my inbox new messages display. In system_block_user.html, I re-added this code so that "inbox" would show in the user menu:

Quote:











<{$block.lang_youraccount}>

<{$block.lang_editaccount}>

<{$block.lang_notifications}>

<{$block.lang_logout}>

<{if $block.new_messages > 0}>

<{$block.lang_inbox}> (<{$block.new_messages}>)

<{else}>

<{$block.lang_inbox}>

<{/if}>

<{if $xoops_isadmin}>

<{$block.lang_adminmenu}>

<{/if}>


And the 2.0.10 system_blocks.php, used to use:

Quote:
function b_system_user_show()

{

global $xoopsUser;

if (is_object($xoopsUser)) {

$pm_handler =& xoops_gethandler('privmessage');

$block = array();

$block['lang_youraccount'] = _MB_SYSTEM_VACNT;

$block['lang_editaccount'] = _MB_SYSTEM_EACNT;

$block['lang_notifications'] = _MB_SYSTEM_NOTIF;

$block['uid'] = $xoopsUser->getVar('uid');

$block['lang_logout'] = _MB_SYSTEM_LOUT;

$criteria = new CriteriaCompo(new Criteria('read_msg', 0));

$criteria->add(new Criteria('to_userid', $xoopsUser->getVar('uid')));

$block['new_messages'] = $pm_handler->getCount($criteria);

$block['lang_inbox'] = _MB_SYSTEM_INBOX;

$block['lang_adminmenu'] = _MB_SYSTEM_ADMENU;

return $block;

}

return false;


but now this doesn't work and results in fatal call to non-object.

Has anyone modified this yet?

Thanks.

I have tried your code for the themes but all I get is INBOX without the message count eventhough I have messages. Is there a newer code if I am using XOOPS 2.2.3

Also What is the first above code for and where do I put it?

Thanks
