Private Message Number Count
Hello, so I am currently working on a website, and I am trying to make it where on my custom navigation bar it says "Messages: <number of messages you have>" I have my own custom navigation bar so I can't use the preset one where it says "you have no new messages" or "you have new messages"
Idk if it requires JS but yah. If anyone knows what to do please help
Now solved. Thank you sooo much Wagner!

Re: Private Message Number Count
Which is the link of the image to unread messages of your forum? This need to be different than the read messages.. So we can do a request to this page "/privmsg?folder=inbox" and check how many images are there...
Re: Private Message Number Count
What? XD It's not an image. Like I said above, I made my own navigation menu.Wagner' wrote:Which is the link of the image to unread messages of your forum?

@FineryWorkshop what Wagner is trying to say is that if you tell him the image you use for the unread messages in your inbox he could make the script to read how many messages are in your inbox. What you need to do is only send him the images and hopefully he can do it for you. He was not talking about the navigation bar images..

And I'll be able to edit the script to change the images if I update them, right?
Re: Private Message Number Count
Go to acp -> display -> pics managment -> simple mode
And edit it for private messages and new private messages.

@Luffy,
Thank you! I'm learning english by my own, so I'm not so good at this moment.
@FineryWorkshop,
Yes, of course you'll be able to edit as you want. Check this script:
I've commented all the code, to maintain it clear to understand..
Look this part of the code
See this "unread" variable? This is what you'll use to display how many unread messages exists for the user. If you don't know how to do this, just send me your forum link..
And, I don't know your forum version too, i've made this code to work on PunBB, idk if it will work on other versions.
Test it

@FineryWorkshop,
Yes, of course you'll be able to edit as you want. Check this script:
- Code:
// Make the request to the inbox folder and store the content on the "data" variable.
$.get('/privmsg?folder=inbox', function(data) {
// Here you can update the unread messages link.
var unread_image = 'http://i38.servimg.com/u/f38/18/44/35/81/offlin10.png';
// Here we store the number of unread messages.
var unread = $('.main-content .status img[src="' + unread_image + '"]', data).length;
// And here, we can use this number as we want...
// If unread messages are greater than 0, do something.
if( unread > 0 ) {
// Here you need to edit the element you want to display that number.
// For example: $('#my_element').text( unread );
// As I don't know your page link, i'll just add an example
alert('You have ' + unread + 'unread messages.');
}
});

Re: Private Message Number Count
@Wagner' Should I add the script in my template for the Messages or in my JS Codes or in both?
Re: Private Message Number Count
You need to add to the page you're editing, but. Keep in mind that exists something called same-origin policy (read about this here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Same-origin_policy).
Re: Private Message Number Count
Idk if I did it wrong though. I added the script into the area I wanted the number of how many new PMs the member currently has.

$(function() {
$.get('/privmsg?folder=inbox', function(data) {
var unread = $('ul.pmlist li dl[style="background-image: url(http://2img.net/i/fa/prosilver/topic_unread.gif);"]', data).length;
$('.navbar ul li ul li a[href="http://fineryworkshop.forumotion.com/privmsg?folder=inbox"]').append(unread);

Re: Private Message Number Count
We're here to help
Just, don't forget, this link "https://2img.net/i/fa/prosilver/topic_unread.gif" need always to be the same link on the admin panel to unread messages... So, if you update the link on the panel, don't forget to update it on the code too.
Best regards
