This code was based on an idea in another forum and reposted here in this topic: https://help.forumotion.com/t139188-notifications-without-displaying-toolbar#944497

---

In the ACP, create a new widget following the example of the figure below:


And add the following code:

Code:


<ul id="wnotify" style="margin: 0px; overflow: auto; max-height: 225px; padding-left: 0px;">
</ul>
<script type="text/javascript">

Result:


Note: The bar needs to be less active and even can be hidden, no problem!

JS

I just noticed that the avatars are duplicated in the widget.

Nevermind, I just noticed the reason why there are two similar avatars.  It was because the same member posted on my wall two messages.

Thank you for this. This code will improve my forum for sure!

Nice code JScript. I think we had some issues before, but that's past, right?

Anyway, the code only works on homepage.

Exactly I am still having an issue with the avatars of members are appearing twice in the widget.

This will no longer be supported by JScript: https://help.forumotion.com/t151137-in-memory-of-jscript-joao-carlos.
