[request] New then Unread PMs after login

[IPB_Refugee]

Hi,

yesterday I got a PM but I haven't read it yet. Today phpBB.com tells me: (0 new messages) It would be better when phpBB told me: (1 unread message)

To say it short: I'd like to have the MOD [11/02/07] New then Unread PMs after login for Olympus, too.

MOD Description: Normally, phpbb shows the number of new messages. With this Mod once the amount of new messages have been displayed and the user starts browsing in the forum, the display will change to the amount of unread messages in his/her inbox. The display will be in a different colour to the standard until all messages have been read.

Regards
Wolfgang

As far as I know, the message changes from 1 New Message to 0 New Messages, 1 Unread Message if you enter the Message Center or return to the forum later on.

Hi,

unfortunately phpBB.com told me (0 new messages) after leaving phpBB.com for several hours and then coming back. (A new session was established for me as I returned). But I want that unread PMs stay as long marked as unread until you have really read the PM. (I want the same behaviour for PMs as we already have got for unread topics.) This is not the case at present.

Regards
Wolfgang

EDIT: Reported as bug on October, 12th.

Although I really believe it should be the standard behaviour of Olympus, it seems that I need a MOD: I want that unread PMs appear as long marked as unread in the header until I have really read them.



So when I have 5 unread PMs the header should show: (5 unread messages). Now in this case it would show (0 new messages)

Unfortunately this has not been considered a bug.

EDIT: Kellanved was so nice to provide a solution (will have to test it yet):

Hi,

you can do it by yourself in overall_header.html. I'm absolutely sure it will work. But maybe I'm going to write a small MOD within the next few months (after Gold release) because I want it this way:

You have | Header shows

no new PMs, no unread PMs | Private Messages
2 new PMs, no unread PMs | (2 new PMs)
no new PMs, 1 unread PM | (1 unread PM)
1 new PM, 2 unread PMs | (1 new PM, 2 unread PMs)

Especially I do not want to read (0 new messages) - and nothing else - when I have one or more unread PMs.

cool. but how does that small line of code change everything?

edit: now i'm not sure whee to change

[IPB_Refugee]

Hi,

in styles/prosilver/template/overall_header.html you can change e.g.

Code: Select all

						<!-- IF S_DISPLAY_PM --> (<a href="{U_PRIVATEMSGS}">{PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO}</a>)<!-- ENDIF --> &bull; 

to

Code: Select all

						<!-- IF S_DISPLAY_PM --> (<a href="{U_PRIVATEMSGS}">{PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO}<!-- IF PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO_UNREAD -->, {PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO_UNREAD}<!-- ENDIF --></a>)<!-- ENDIF --> &bull; 

And then don't forget to purge the cache in ACP after doing the code changes.

Regards
Wolfgang

oh thanks.

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_DISPLAY_PM --> (<a href="{U_PRIVATEMSGS}">{PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO}<!-- IF PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO_UNREAD -->, {PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO_UNREAD}<!-- ENDIF --></a>)<!-- ENDIF --> &bull; 

Sorry refugee in which language files could I edit "PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO_UNREAD"?
