In progress New Message Coding

Post by Legolover-361 Sat Oct 01 2011, 01:07

Hello, all.

I'm working on a new skin for the Bionicle: Next Generation message board (don't complain about its appearance -- it's still a work-in-progress). I've added a new, custom menu (also still a work-in-progress), but I don't know how to code the "Messages" text to change when the user has one or more new messages.

The type of menu isn't important, as I already know where to place the new coding. I'd just like to know what that coding is.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

I really need some help, as the forum I'm working on was supposed to reopen yesterday. Does anyone know what coding I would use to change the "Inbox (0)" text when a user has new messages ("Inbox (1)", "Inbox (2)", etc.)?

Honestly. Why make a new navbar?
Don't try and make a new navbar if you don't know how.

There is nothing wrong with the original navbar, infact you can likely style it too look exactly like your new one. And it will contain all the information, links and features that way.
I recommend just restyling the original navbar.

My posts were separated by at least twenty-four hours, each, and from what I've seen of the rules this is allowed.

1. It gives me (and others) practice with coding. Why only customize an already-coded navbar when you can take different, custom coding to make your own?
2. Drop-down menus.
3. More originality and customizability.
4. I want to do something pertaining to programming in my life, whether that means becoming a computer programmer or simply creating a personal website mainly from scratch. Either way, the more experience I have with coding, the better.

Does anyone have any answers that don't involve scrapping the custom navbar?

Its all possible with current navbar. Through coding. Jquery and javascript, it would be great practise Wink

Then what's the difference? My current navbar uses HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I can customize the menus and had no problem installing it onto the forum in the first place.

Do you know the coding to use to change the messages link, or not?

Modify the forumotion navbar = exactly what you want.

Create a completely new navbar = not so much.

You want the number of new PMs. You can write code worthy of entry into a Rube Goldberg contest to get that (I saw an example today Very Happy ), or...you can use the "You have X new messages" PM image title in the forumotion navbar to create exactly what you want.

The choice is yours.

Hi,

If you know some javascript, I can give you some ideas about this.
First detect the text that is being displayed in the navbar for PM link. If it is "You have no new messages", make your custom link have text "Inbox" and if the text in PM link is not "You have no new messages" make your custom link say "New PM".

You just have to detect the text of the PM link and use if-else statements to do the trick Very Happy

Hope it helps.

I'd honestly prefer the latter, because then I'd know how to create a programmer's equivalent of a Rube Goldberg machine and be able to utilize that knowledge later in life. I probably won't be using Forumotion forever; being able to code from scratch is a valuable skill.

Hope it helps.

So you're saying I should use JavaScript to check the text on the default navbar and change the text on the custom navbar to match? That would make sense; the only problem is, I'd have to find the default navbar's coding. Does the default Forumotion navbar have its own template? And if so, how would I use JavaScript to pull information from that template to the overall_header template?

For a simple New/NoNew link, it's even easier than that. The forumotion navbar uses an ID of #i_icon_mini_message for the "No new PM" image, and #i_icon_mini_new_message for the "New PM" image, and only one of them will ever be on a page.

To get the actual count of new PMs, the PM image title is the easiest way.

Admittedly, my JavaScript isn't the best -- rather rusty, really. I think I get the gist of your suggestion, though:

1. Check the PM image URL.
2. Print the appropriate number within the parenthesis (e.g. with two new messages, the link would be "Inbox (2)").

Now I need the PM image URLs and some quality time with Google and JavaScript tutorials. Razz Could anyone provide the former?

In the real world it's not common to create applications/pages from scratch -- much of the time you will find yourself re-working code that someone else wrote. And speaking from experience, you learn a lot more this way than you EVER will by coding from scratch.

To answer one of your questions, there is no code for the navbar in any template -- you must use javascript to access the navbar DOM. Which gets me back to my point...if you're going to use javascript anyway, why waste time re-inventing the wheel? You already have a navbar that can be molded into anything you want, and it contains all the information you need.

@Legolover,
The templates do not have the navabar code in them. You have to access the navbar HTML with JavaScript only. To make it easier you can use jquery selectors Smile And you don't have to make any changes in the templates. All you need is to add a javascript in the Admin CP > Modules > Javascript management.

In real life I may often be modifying someone else's code, but wouldn't I be able to better modify it knowing I could write it all myself? And wouldn't being able to write new code help me get a higher-placing job?

Besides which, this is a challenge. I like challenges: When I succeed in something difficult, it feels so much better than when I'm just doing what anyone could do.

If you want to continue this discussion, please bring it to PM; I'd rather not argue in a support forum.

If you don't have coding knowledge, I'll shoot the codes directly Razz

Code:
$(function(){
$('#i_icon_mini_message').parent('a').text('Inbox');
$('#i_icon_mini_new_message').parent('a').text('Inbox New');
});

Add it in Admin CP > Modules > Javascript management, for all pages.

Hope it helps Very Happy

I no longer accept PMs here due to the avalanche I started receiving after the post profile toggle and Like/dislike box features were added to this board. So I will reply here.

I guess you just don't see that modifying the current navbar requires your writing new code, it is a challenge, and you will learn techniques that will help you in the future. Oh well, it's your task. My final comment is this: in real life it's most important to accomplish a task in the allotted time with the allotted resources. Your insistence to write this completely on your own has already caused you to miss your deadline. In real life that stubbornness could get you fired. Think about it.

I added it, but nothing happened when I received a PM. I take it I have to add some coding in the custom navbar, perhaps add an ID to the appropriate <a> tag?

In real life, I wouldn't necessarily be using Forumotion. Also, in this case, I won't be fired -- it's not a real job, I'm not being paid for it. If I were being paid to meet a deadline, of course I'd go with whatever works, but if I want to make a site mainly from scratch someday, continuing with this custom navbar will help.

I honestly don't see what the problem is. What's wrong with wanting to code a custom navbar? I'm not insulting anyone or doing anything wrong.

Your right your not. I think we're all just suggesting its easier and likely MORE practise to change the current one to your liking.

It would honestly be more of a challenge, accessing the navbar and manipulating it the way you'd like. You'll likely learn a lot about Node navigation and access too.

Infact completely revamping the current navbar would classify as creating your custom navbar. Smile

I actually recently made a site from scratch. Even when you make a site from scratch, its rarely from scratch. You often use software templates, or already configured menu scripts, or a default css which you customize to your liking. I recommend looking at Adobe Dreamweaver, one of the great site making softwares out there.

I wish you luck.

Yes, but its your custom navbar so you need to figure out yourself or I need the full code of the custom navbar to give you a copy-paste code.

Respect_Me wrote:i want this say :

.....

Sorry, the code for this is not available with me but I can suggest you a trick. You need to make an ajax call to the inbox page and make it return the total number of new pm images. You can use the returned result to display as PM counter.

I do not have a copy-paste code for this. You need to figure it out yourself.

Add this javascript for all pages...

Code:
$(function(){
var pm_text = $('a.mainmenu[href="/privmsg?folder=inbox"]').text();
if(pm_text != "You have no new messages"){
  $('ul#nav a[href="/privmsg"] span').text('New PM!');
}
});

Tested on my forum and it works.

For some reason it always says "New PM!" even when there is none.
