Hello,

I've noticed that when a user sends a pm the text wont change. I believe that is because my menu bar is changed through the template.
I am leaving the template part below so if someone know how to help me to tell me what i can do.

overall_header template:

What i want is when someone gets the pm the nav bar button named "Μηνύματα" (Messages) to change the color and be red. If someone can help me i would appreciate it.

Regards,
MrMind.

Hello MrMind,

Go to Administration Panel > Modules > JavaScript codes management > Create a new script

Title : Your choice
Placement : In all the pages
Paste the code below and submit :

Code:

$(function() {if (/\d+/.test($('#pun-navlinks a[href^="/privmsg"]').text())) $('#nav_app_mailbox a').addClass('new-message')});

We check the default nav to see if the messages text contains a digit, if it does we add a classname to your messages nav. The nav on a new pm usually reads "You have % new message(s)", which is why I check for only a digit.

You can add the color with this rule :
If it doesn't apply add !important

Code:

.new-message { color:red }

I think that what you sent me is for the default nav bar. The script and the css did not give any effect to the messages. You can login to the forum with the same pass and username you have from what i sent you the other time.
Perhaps it is because i changed it and it doesn't have the number part that F/M or the other default ones do.

It should work fine, I tested it with your template.


Did you do the following ?

Ange the forum is not displayed like that to us. We see it like this:

and as you can see i recieved the popup but the text didn't change.

I checked your forum and the classname is being added. You forgot to add important to the rule if it did not work the first time. As you can see the rule with .new-message was being overridden :


I added important to it. You can check your test account if you want, it should have 1 new message.

Ok so it must be something with me or i may have a problem or something!
I just send a pm to me and check the result:


Ps. I don't know why but my prefixes started not to show all of a sudden!

Edit: Το the test account i can see the red text and the perfixes normally

Edit 2: I had to refresh to see the effect! Thanks a lot! Topic Solved!

You're welcome ^^

If you send a PM to yourself and wait until the redirect the message will be considered "Read" from the navbar. ( It wont say "You have % new message(s)" )
