I was searching for a plugin that used to put a banner accross the screen when a PM came in. I was looking for this plugin and it is stated that it is already in 1.4??? I dont get anything when a PM comes in. Could it be my theme? Or is there a plugin that needs to be installed.
By default, a yellow bar appears across the top of the forum (underneath the header) that notifies you of a new PM. You need to turn on this feature, and you can do this by going to User CP => Edit Options and then ticking the "Alert me with a notice when I receive a Private Message" option.
If it is already ticked, then the problem is your theme. In your templates, go to Header Templates => header, and ensure {$pm_notice} is there.

I tried a few different places. Where would you suggest it should be??
<div id="logo"><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/index.php"><img src="{$theme['logo']}" alt="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" title="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" /></a></div> <div id="submenu"><div id="submenu_left"><strong><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/portal.php">Portal</a><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/index.php">Forums</a><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/chat.php">Chat</a><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/mood.php">MyMood</a><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/plaza.php">MyPlazaTurbo</a></strong></div><div id="submenu_right"><strong><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/search.php">{$lang->toplinks_search}</a><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/memberlist.php">{$lang->toplinks_memberlist}</a><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/calendar.php">{$lang->toplinks_calendar}</a><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/misc.php?action=help">{$lang->toplinks_help}</a></strong><br /></div></div><div id="container"><a name="top" id="top"></a> <div id="header"> <hr class="hidden" /> </div> <hr class="hidden" /> <br class="clear" /> <div id="content"> {$welcomeblock} {$bannedwarning} {$bbclosedwarning} {$unreadreports} <br class="clear" />
You have more code missing that just that. View a diff report on the template to see what you're missing. The end should be:
{$welcomeblock}
</div>
</div>
<hr class="hidden" />
<br class="clear" />
<div id="content">
{$pm_notice}
{$bannedwarning}
{$bbclosedwarning}
{$unreadreports}
<navigation>
<br />
You have:
{$welcomeblock} {$bannedwarning} {$bbclosedwarning} {$unreadreports} <br class="clear" />
Unless this isn't even the default theme??
The theme is BBBlack 2.0. It is set as the default. I just put in what you said, and no go.
Well {$pm_notice} is simply what runs it... and when we say is it default, we don't mean if it's set as default on your forum, that makes no difference, we mean is it the MyBB default theme.
Is there a plugin so I could get around this issue??
No you don't need a plugin to get a default feature to work. Can you give a URL and test account??
check you PM.. Thanks!!!!
Seems to be sorted
