Hi
Thanks for your nice MOD! But is it possible that the alert message shown on the loaded index page not before it on the empty page?

Please see the Installing Modifications section.

It appears to work for ordinary members/Mods on PHPBB304, ProSilver, but it does not show when logged in as Admin

I know this is a stupid question but I just started to use phpBB.

How do I install this on my forum?

I'm not using the prosilver or subsilver theme.

We all start somewhere, Reptiguy, so have a look here http://www.phpbb.com/mods/

There will be a file in the Mod folder which, when opened, will detail the changes - read it well, it is a simple step by step guide. Normally this is for one of the default schemes. In this case there are only two files you need to change. So, copy them from your server to your PC, back them up in case you need the originals to upload again. Always do a backup of your server files (from ACP or Cpanel) everytime. Then just change the coding as stated with a good text editor (NotePad++ is to be recommended - http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm).

Once done, upload the changed files to your server. Go into ACP: On the first panel refresh the cache: Tab to Styles and refresh templates. Test it out.

Actually, because there are just a couple of files to amend this is a very good mod to dip your toe into the PGPBB stream. Think that's about it.

Good luck,

M

I agree I to would rather it show up on what ever page that the use is looking at and not a blank white page.

The only way would be to put the javascript at the bottom of the page, in overall_footer.html so that the page is practically already loaded though this might still produce undesired results. You could also manipulate the javascript so it shows the alert after a certain amount of time though I'm not sure if this is being done through the page header or elsewhere on the page.

can you add a sound when the pop up appears?

Hi Everyone,

I hope that you guys can help me through this. The story is, I was installing mods through AutoMod and some through manual install and something got messed up, not sure what though, as a troubleshooting measure I uninstalled all of the mods that I could through Auto Mod, big mistake on my part because now none of them will install again, including this one. I did restore a back up of my entire phpbb3 forum directory thinking that might fix the problem, but I am still unable to install any mods. The quote below is what I get when I try to install Alert Box PM. I get similar errors when I was trying to reinstall popup layer, but trying to get help over in that forum is getting me nowhere. If anyone needs anymore info or code posted, I will gladyly give you what I can. Keep in mind, that I didn't have alert box and popup layer installed at the same time. So, if anyone can help, I would be greatfull.

styles/prosilver/template/overall_header.html
Find


if ({S_NEW_PM})
{
var url = '{UA_POPUP_PM}';
window.open(url.replace(/&/g, '&'), '_phpbbprivmsg', 'height=225,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes, width=400');
}


Replace With


if ({S_NEW_PM})
{
var answer = confirm("{L_PM_ALERT_BOX}")
if (answer)
{
window.location = "{U_PRIVATEMSGS}";
}
}


The Find specified by the MOD could not be founds

how can you change it that it is a default setting that people will get a notfication on a new pm?

so that if someone registrate it is automatically enabled that they get a notification on a new pm.

thanks
