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);

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 $msgcount > 0}>
<a class="highlight" href="<{$xoops_url}>/viewpmsg.php">Inbox (<span style="color:#ff0000; font-weight: bold;"><{$msgcount}></span>)</a>
<{else}>
<a href="<{$xoops_url}>/viewpmsg.php">Inbox</a>
<{/if}>

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

hi...the code shown here results very interesting for me...

i'm trying to send private messages from a XML workflow specification for the XOOPS workflow module (xflow), but i don't know how to write the code to do this....i'm a quite new with the XOOPS core...is there some guidelines you can provide me?

this messages represent the notifications in a request tracking system i want to implement using the workflow module

Thanks ...Mario Castro
