MOD Validated/Released

Notes:
This MOD makes it so on the popup window that tells you have a new private message, you can click on a link that goes to your private messages in a new window.

Perfect!

It solves a nagging little problem that I never paid enough attention to in the past to really look at modding it myself.

Every time I would receive an email telling me I had a response... I would click on it to read the post, and that window would pop up telling me I had a new PM.

So which do I do? Answer the post or read my PM? Well... now I can do both.

Thanks -- Good Mod!

It aint working for me .. have done it 5 times and no popup window comes up...

Hi!

If no popup window comes up at all it's not fault of the MOD. Maybe you installed a popup blocker or using Mozilla/Firefox? And: you did receive PMs since the MOD was installed didn't you?

Regards,

After installing this mod, this is what I get:

It seems to be a result of the modification to the lang_main.php file but I can not figure out what it is.

Balint · Post by **Balint** » Sun Apr 10, 2005 3:00 pm

Hi!

Could you send me the modified files privmsg.php, language/lang_english/lang_main.php and templates/subSilver/privmsgs_popup.tpl to balint@krizsan.de please?

I'll figure it out.

Greets,
Bálint

Sorry I was so late on sending them. They are on the way, email=shado99_@hotmail.com

Does it works onto a 2.0.14 + CH 2.1.1 RC3?

It could be fine to have a Java window, in order to avoid any Windows Service Pack 2 protection or any anti-popUp software.. is it possible to have it?

thx in advance

Swizec · Post by **Swizec** » Wed Apr 27, 2005 11:35 pm

java windows although nice and dandy take LONG to load, quite frankly alot more than I'd be willing to wait for my inbox to load

hey, wait a sec, isn't this laready in the phpBB2 by default?

Yo..

I've MODded my board with a PM windows fix 2.0.14 (as far as i remember) cause the normal PM window doesn't shows with SP2 and Norton 2005 Premier ..

2.0.13 opens a Java window (with the MOD mentioned before) stopping your forum viewing till you push the OK radio button or not, 2.0.14 doesn't .. that's all..

I saw this MOD and I'm asking if it could be possible to do this kind of improvement, if not.. I'll keep the MOD i have.. no probs..

Also i need to know if it works with CH 2.1.1 RC3, it could be nice to know before start any job on it..

thx m8

(It takes a long time? Well, maybe with a 56k

)
