[RD] modify the check pm's in miniprofile code

[RBH]

i love this code, but can you make it display that you have new pms? and can i use images instead of text?



<script type="text/javascript">
//Check pm's in miniprofile made by Pleasehelp inspiration by blade www.proboards.com
//Do not repost without permission of creator
var TD=document.getElementsByTagName('td');

for(t=0;t<TD.length;t++){
if(TD[t].width=="20%" && TD[t].innerHTML.match(/Posts/i)){
TD[t].innerHTML+="<a href=/index.cgi?action=pm><font size=0><br>Check Pm's</font size></a>"
}}
</script>

See this line...

TD[t].innerHTML+="<a href=/index.cgi?action=pm><font size=0><br>Check Pm's</font size></a>"

Change it to...

TD[t].innerHTML += "<br /><a href='/index.cgi?action=pm'><img src='IMAGE URL' border='0' /></a>";

[RBH]

what about making it so it tells you when you have new pm's? basically its taking the hey, xxx, you have x messages and x are new and placing it in the miniprofile, just not in so many words. one image for new messages, and a different image for no new messages kinda thing. or even a flashing image when there is new messages, that would work. like the CHECK PM'S would be normal with no new messages but blink when you get one.

make any sense? ;D

Why do you need a link in every mini profile though? Because that's what it's doing. Every mini profile in the thread is going to have a link.

Think of something better, maybe a better place for it, and so that it doesn't need to be repeated in every mini profile.

[RBH]

ok, i'll start over. this code already adds a link into every miniprofile anyways. what i was wondering is if it could be made to tell you when you have a new pm. right now the code adds a link to every miniprofile that says "check pm's". you click it, it goes to your messages. i was wondering if there was a way to get it to change from "check pm's" to "you have new pm's" when you actually get one.

This should do it. Edit the red with the URLs of your on (new Pms) and off (no new Pms) images.

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
/* 'On' and 'Off' PMs in Mini-Profile */

var on="on.gif";
var off="off.gif";

var TD=document.getElementsByTagName('td');
for(t=0;t<TD.length;t++){
if(TD[t].width=="20%" && TD[t].innerHTML.match(/Posts/i) && TD[2].innerHTML.match(/Hey,/)){
if(TD[2].innerHTML.match(/0 are new/)){
var image=off;}
else{var image=on;}
TD[t].innerHTML+="<br\/><center><a href=/index.cgi?action=pm><img src='"+image+"' border='0' /></a><\/center>"
}}
//-->
</script>

You need to have changed the red bits to the URLS of your images and it should be in the Global Footer
Can you post your URL?

[RBH]

i placed it in global footers and changed the on/off gifs to urls of smiley images to test but nothing shows

It's working fine on my test board Might be a code conflict. Try moving it to the top of the Global Footer. And if that doesn't work, try moving it to the bottom.
