+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
just find out...some copie was not ok...now it works :-)

After moving the forum to another webspace this hack is not working anymore. A window is popping up but its empty. Can someone please help me get this working again?

Might be the register globals on/off issue between servers. I think the fix is in this thread - but make sure the popup has the needed get_input functions in if register globals is setup differently.

Register globals are ON on the new server. I cannot check how this was on the old one cause this was only a virtual machine and I have no access to php.ini to check this.

ok.. disregard last post (i deleted it), fixed the parse error... now I have a question..

I logged in and had TWO pm's waiting, everytime I went to a new page, the PM page, the reply page, the pm page again, and the replay page again to reply to my pm's, it popped up telling me I had a message... is there a way to make it so it only pops up like once per hour or per session?

Like the standard "flasher" for PMs, it checks for it every page load. It's tied to that same "mechinasm".

But it forces people to read their PMs right away... which is what I wanted.

Hey Josh, Is this version good for 6.3 also?

Haven't had a need to use it under 6.3. Should be, but I'm not sure. Untested.

I just installed the 2.2 version. I am using UBB threads 6.3.1

I am getting this error in the popup window:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/tampains/public_html/ubbthreads/messagepopup.php on line 60


I looked at line 60 and it is just this:

<title>Private Message Popup</title>

I went and moved that down a line to see if the error followed it and the error did come back showing to be on line 61.

Why would that line be causing the parse error? Also I heard no sound effect either. I am using IE 6.

Actually, line 60 in the stock code is:



...according to BeyondCompare.

I double checked again. Reverified I copied and pasted via the instructions correctly. The line with UBBTPRINT; is actually line 68. That's straight out of the zip file.

The line the error says is the problem is line 60 which says:
<title>Private Message Popup</title>

... any other ideas?


also, the messagepopup.php file does say it's only 1.0 modified last November. Is that right? Is there a newer version of this file out there to fit the .threads 6.3?

-update-
I played with the coding a bit. Still getting that parse error but I did find that it's all in the UBBTPRINT function.

If I remove this all together... :



...I will just get an empty pop up window with no error message. So does that mean this is incompatible code for 6.3?

I have attached the messagepopup.php file I have.

Thanks again.

I thought there was a more updated one in this thread... but must not have made the zip.

Download the attached file.... change the .txt to .php and try that. If it works let me know and I'll add it into the zip.... but I think this one is more current.

Hey...now that worked like a beaut! I really appreciate it. Now I just need a sub-forums hack and i'll be good to go. I won't hold my breath on that though.

Thanks Josh.

Don't know how the old one got in the ZIP. But I updated the main post in the thread.....
Thanks for testing it out.

Mmmmm, anyone test this out on v6.4 yet?

Also a 6.4 user, and wouldn't mind seeing this...anyone else?

I have it on 6.4 It's been awhile but if I remember correctly it went on no problems.

Anyone else tried this on 6.4??

Is everyone trying this on UBBThreads 6.5 or. 6.5.1?

Yes... lets bring this back for 6.5.1!!!!!!

Yes PLEASE
