Forcing pm popups on all users

[Solidjeuh]

Users are not noticing they have pm messages because they have disabled the pm popup notification.

Solution:

Open: includes/functions.php

Find:

Code: Select all

    // The following assigns all _common_ variables that may be used at any point in a template.
        $template->assign_vars(array( 

Before Add:

Code: Select all

    $user->optionset('popuppm', true); 

This is to force the pm pop up on every one regardless of their UCP setting.

Found this on google.. And wanted to share with you all

thnx nice one, maybe better than the one i use now

i previously used this in overal_header.html

FIND:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_DISPLAY_PM --> (<a href="{U_PRIVATEMSGS}">{PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO}</a>)<!-- ENDIF -->

INLINE FIND:

Code: Select all

IF S_DISPLAY_PM

REPLACE WITH:

Code: Select all

IF S_NEW_PM

or this:

Code: Select all

IF S_USER_NEW_PRIVMSG

i'm not sure anymore because i'm using the pm bar reg mod

Nice find but there is also one on this site somewhere and all you need to do is change a number lol

Forcing is no good you can force what ever you like but IF the browser is told NO pop ups then they wont get the pop up

use a bar or the red blinking pm mod

What does this do exactly Blackwolf?
Change the popup notify in control panel to yes?

Edited for thread cleanup.

None of the above solves the problem for any new users who register after you do this... So, there is something missing there. Like:

Open: functions_user.php
Find:

Code: Select all

		'user_options'		=> 230271,

Replace with:

Code: Select all

		// Activate PM popup by default for new users
		'user_options'		=> 231295,

For clarity - I am talking about this mod (i.e., PM Notify & Guest Register bar), not about any pop-up windows which are basically useless with any normal browser as they get blocked.

I would just take this piece out of the overall_header.html: and S_USER_PM_POPUP

Well, yeah... if you really want to force it no matter what. I just wanted it enabled by default so if people want to disable, they are free to do so. From a quick look at the DB, about 1% of users have disabled this so that not might be a big deal if you really force it enabled. I will possibly look at the UCP edits to remove the options from UCP so that people do not have settings there that take no effect.

Edit: Done.
