PM Popup won't show - Paul124897 - 2006-12-07

Hi,

I've been trying to solve why my board won't show a popup box when a new PM is received.

Javascript:
	newPM: function()
	{
		confirmReturn = confirm(newpm_prompt);
		if(confirmReturn == true) {
			settings="toolbar=yes,location=yes,directories=yes,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=600,height=500";
			NewWindow=window.open('private.php','pmPopup',settings);
		}
	},

class_sessions.php
		// Check if this user has a new private message.
		if($mybb->user['pmpopup'] == "new" && $mybb->settings['enablepms'] != "no")
		{
			$popupadd = ", pmpopup='yes'";
			$loadpmpopup = 1;
		}
		else
		{
			$popupadd = '';
			$loadpmpopup = 0;
		}

functions.php
	if($loadpmpopup)
	{
		if(my_substr($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], -strlen("private.php")) != "private.php")
		{
			$contents = str_replace("<body", "<body onload=\"MyBB.newPM()\"", $contents);
		}
	}

How do I get the popup box to show up?

this may sound basic but does your browser have a pop up blocker ?

Yes, but Firefox usually tells me when a popup has been blocked, and in this case it isn't doing so.

Also, no users on the board can see these popups.

Javascript enabled? Try clearing your cache?

I've cleared my Cache.

This appears when I view the source when viewing the forum index, but still no popup. Javascript is enabled in the browser.

<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">

	var cookiePath = "/";

	var deleteevent_confirm = "Are you sure you want to delete this event?";
	var removeattach_confirm = "Are you sure you want to remove the selected attachment from this post?";
	var loading_text = 'Loading. <br />Please Wait..';
	var saving_changes = 'Saving changes..';

This might sound like a dumb question, but I just need to clarify this. Is UCP > Edit Options > 'Alert me with a popup box when I receive a Private Message.' checked?

If yes and it still doesn't work, may we have a link to your board?

That is indeed, checked.

wth arashpour is going crazy..


Paul124897, are you getting any javascript errors? If you are using Firefox it's under Tools -> Error console.
