hey all....
first of all ! thanks for this CMS Very Happy

it runs great and fast!! Smile

but i will hear how i can change so i can get the Private Message Pop Up in the INDEX.PHP area to popup instead of the forums.html because ! Smile

its much better if i can get it to pop up in there! Smile

so i dont need to go ind here forums.html before it comes!

some one there know how i can change that ?

From what I remember, PM's are actually part of the forum system, hence the reason why the pop-up works when entering forum area's.
Nuke does have a PM module but if you look at the code there you can see it references the forum tables.

I guess it is feasable to get it working with the site index page, though that would require yet more SQL queries.
I do not have the time to look into this right now though - anyone else?

Just before I hit the 'Submit' button a thought did occur to me though. Most 'who is online' type blocks already make most of the quries needed to indicate whether a new PM is waiting so it might be possible to modify that rather than doubling up on the SQL quries.

uhh that could be nice Smile

Actually, yes, the more I think about it, the more the idea appeals to me Smile

Sadly I have no idea when I may have time to look at this further but I'm sure someone will get to it sooner than me Wink

I'm having the same problem, PM pop up only shows the main page.

Please advise.

I apologize for not reading the first post accurately, I believed the same problem I was experiencing.

I'm not sure whether to remove this post or wait for help... lemme ponder that for a while.

If need be, Im sure the admins will move it.

What exactly is your problem?

Well, if I or users get a new PM, the pop up will come up automatically notifying that received new message however it pops up with my front page in it.

Must have missed something somewhere, its been that way for months ever since I installed RN 2.02 and havent had time to look into this until now. Its no big deal and nothing to sweat over.

Now I've got too much time on my hands now Smile

front page, you mean index.php?

not forums page?

That's correct. index.php (in root)

Im currently trying to reproduce the problem and I cannot.

Can you post a link to your site?

Posted: Sun Aug 13, 2006 1:24 am

I've already searched nukecops and this forum, no one else seem to have this problem, except for me... It's probably not a bug in RN system but in mine...

It's interesting to note that I'm using pnflashgames module and it has pop up image for users to click on and pop up the flash game. It comes up blank...

Obviously something somewhere is ruining my pop up capabilities.

Maybe I should try emptying out the javascript.php in the /includes directory and see if that's not the culprit?? I just had this idea now and trying it out now. Will report back results.

Shoot... that didnt work Sad

Any idea where shall I start looking into?

Found this on main forum page:

Code:

<!--


   if ( 1 )


   {


      window.open('modules.php?name=Private_Messages&amp;file=index&amp;mode=newpm&amp;popup=1', '_phpbbprivmsg', 'HEIGHT=225,resizable=yes,WIDTH=400');;


   }


//-->

It looks correct doesnt it? [/quote]

It has a double set of semi-colons at the end. I am searching for the culprit (if there is one) in the 2.02.02 code...

Well, not sure that would cause the issue. Are you sure you do not have a pop-up blocker? If so, try adding your domain into the exclusion list and see if it works.

I would try this first. If that doesn't work, try the following and let us know what happens:

=== OPEN File ===

modules\Forums\templates\subSilver\forum_header.tpl

=== FIND Code ===

window.open('{U_PRIVATEMSGS_POPUP}', '_phpbbprivmsg', 'HEIGHT=225,resizable=yes,WIDTH=400');;

=== REPLACE With ===

window.open('{U_PRIVATEMSGS_POPUP}', '_phpbbprivmsg', 'HEIGHT=225,resizable=yes,WIDTH=400');

=== OPEN Each File ===

Find for the theme you are using the appropriate file:

themes\<<your theme name>>\forums\overall_header.tpl

=== DO ===

Find the same line of code and make the same change.

==============

If the above does not work, instead of removing the extra semi-colon, try making it look instead like this:

window.open('{U_PRIVATEMSGS_POPUP}', '_phpbbprivmsg', 'HEIGHT=225,resizable=yes,WIDTH=400');return false;

Please back up these files FIRST, so that you can quickly replace them back if need be.

Strangest thing happened... I did the fix above as described. You hit right on the nose with this intution you had. Pop up works good!

However, apparently the theme of the forums changed back from my original theme to some kind of standard or default forums theme...

I decide to put back the back up files just to see what happens, same results... very weird. Gonna try clearing out cookies to see what happens.

Edit... nope clearning cookies didnt work. Gonna try taking things apart and see what I find.

Just a quickie.......
Are you using a custom theme that has its own forum files?

Please let me know if you can fix this issue. I have the same problem since a long time with the private messages pop up function and the index.html page with nuke 6.5. The strange thing is that sometimes it shows the normal popup and the next time the other pop up using the same browser.
Removing the extra semi-colon seems to have no effect.
I´m using Firefox. Have you ever tried an other browser to check the pop up function ?

Yes, I'm using fisubice theme and it has its own forum folder. I have only two themes installed, the fisubice and ExtraLite themes, that's it.

Susann, always test with both browsers, IE and Firefox... unless you're using Linux OS on your computer.

Try copy/paste the codes instead of just removing semicolons. The line looks so similar to the previous code I had. Maybe overlooked an extra space or not.

Try this and see if it works:

Code:

###


###----------[ OPEN ]----------


###





blocks/block-User_Info.php





###


###----------[ FIND ]----------


### should be near the beginning of the file





global





###


###----------[ AFTER ADD ]----------


### on a NEW line





$pmsgpopup = "0"; //1 to turn on - 0 to turn off 





###


###----------[ FIND ]----------


###





?>





###


###----------[ BEFORE ADD ]----------


### on a New Line - Remove the whitespace between the "s" and "c" in the word "s cript" in the code below





if ($pmsgpopup == 1) {


    if ($userinfo['user_popup_pm'] && $userinfo['user_new_privmsg']) { 


       $content .= "<s cript language=\"Javas cript\" type=\"text/javas cript\"> 


<!-- 


        window.open('messages-popup.html', '', 'HEIGHT=225,resizable=yes,WIDTH=400'); 


//--> 


</s cript>"; 


   } 


}





###


###----------[ EOM ]----------


### Save and close all files

This should allow you to turn the popups off and on using the userinfo block and the SHOULD show up on the index.php page and ONLY the index.php page since the user info block is only displayed there. The user will have to have the private message pop up turned on in the user profile in the forums for this to work. If it is turned off, no popup will appear.

Let me know if it works. I haven't tested it.

Thanks Dauthus.
I have not tested it with the changes in the block because it works perfect(means popup forum) in my standard RavenNuke installation using DeepBlue or Fisubice.
However, after some tests with my 6.5 GT installation I found out that I have the popup on the mainpage and also on the forum. Thats fine. The only problem is the popup if a user get it from the forums.html because than its not correct displayed. So I believe it has possible something to do with modrewrite. Rolling Eyes

The most of my files are modified so it´s hard to find out where that exacly goes wrong. The only file I´ve never touched is the privmsgs_popup.tpl

Ok, I'm looking at this closely... my forum theme looks like default phpbb format. Much like the old days of FB's phpnuke with default forum theme.

Where do you recommend that I start looking into first? I'm just not sure where to start looking first thats the problem.

Hmm... I uploaded all CSS controling files from my old back up over to my site.

modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/

and

themes//fisubice/forums/

yet, it doesnt revert back to original theme. What else could it be?

Posted: Sun Aug 27, 2006 12:32 am

UPDATE:

Just for the heck of it, I uploaded EVERYTHING from the backup files and my theme is back!

Re-trying the PM edit and see if that's the culprit. Will report back.

I cannot find any explaination for this.

I re edited as suggested for the PM and replaced it all with the line of code.

Did not fix it. But for now I got my forum theme back.

Please advise.
