To Peter
  
 Is there a way I can use your plugin ( Global Messages 3.2 ) to announce a personal welcome message for each member when he/she logs in Such as

Welcome Georgeg4 , Good to see you today

Etc

I had thought about allowing replacement variables in a message, and it gets replaced with whatever I have access too.

Will consider adding it in a future release.  For now, I need to get some bugs fixed and just stop updating it so much, as people who do use it will get annoyed that they have to enter all their messages.

They're both tables (I've tried parsing and not parsing new lines and it doesn't change)

I also get it with the boxes I've put my cboxes in

I haven't tried making any other messages collapsible.

I've tried putting the plugin in different places in the plugin list as well.

EDIT:

Peter,

and now I can't get the collapsed messages to come back. climbing the icon bottom left just reloads the page...

solariaweyr.proboards.com

I've fixed the issue with showing the messages.  I'll post the update for that in a bit.

I can't duplicate the other issue.  What browser version are you using?

Do you have a test account on your forum I can try?

Peter

I'm using firefox mac at the moment, and another user with firefox pc was having the same problem. I'll try on chrome pc when I get home.

I deleted your last test account but you're welcome to rejoin and I'llk put the collapse back on too the two public messages for you.

EDIT: I've made the two everywhere viewable to all messages collapsible again, and moved the plugin right up to under the yootil plugin incase that makes things easier to work out.

When I temporarily switched the collapse pic earlier the space expanded to match the size of that (and in the case of that image it was too tall for the titlebar so sort of made sense)

[Peter]

I wasn't going to release it today, but since it has a bug with displaying of hidden messages, I changed my mind.

3.3.0

- Bug fix when trying to show messages (thanks to Maiden for reporting)
- Replacement variables (requested by georgeg4)

Replacement variables can be used in the title and message...

{name}
{username}
{posts}
{status}
{rank}

[Maiden]

Brilliant thanks Peter all seems to work lovely now ^^

[georgeg4]

Thanks Peter

[Maiden]

Not asking for an update now clearly! but just so you know

when you uncollapse the messages go into the wrong order (until page change/refresh) and the whole titlebar causes collapse not just clicking on the image....

3.3.1 available.  Fixes the title bar being clickable.

Yeah, I know about the ordering issue, just been putting that off for now and getting the annoying bugs out of the way.

[Maiden]

Ahhh conflict! To update or not to update?! I just re-entered all my messages and swore I wasn't touching it for at least a month but putting the link back in the titlebar would be useful....*flails*

Is there an easy way to put the fix into the build section? (I'm very good at following instructions ) and I'll do the update when the ordering thing is fixed sometime in the future.

[Peter]

Sure, I can upload the JS file and you just copy and paste it into the components section. I think the plugin was exported as editable, though you would have to check.

I'll upload it tomorrow.

[Maiden]

Thanks Peter that'd be great. It was exported as editable

Here we go...

pixeldepth.net/proboards/plugins/global_messages/global_messages.js

I would suggest setting the version number on the settings tab to 3.3.1 as well.

[Maiden]

Aww damnit it's not editable! I must have been remembering from the previous version (which definitely was because I asked about changing the image...)

Sorry about that

[Peter]

Yeah, I must have hit no this time.

Maybe just hang on for a while. Though unless there is any bugs, I don't think I will be making any more updates for a while. I've got this plugin to a stage that I'm happy with.

[Maiden]

It is an awesome plugin. I really love it and use it loads (which is why updating it is such a wrench haha)

I'll leave it for now and update it when I can face the copy pasting again Or when the order thing is fixed.

So thanks a bunch for it ^^
