Mailbox popup... in header???

[03laceys]

Hello,

I have been trying over the past couple of hours to get a popup box to popup when you have a new message.

As i have added the code into the header to do this the popup pops up on every page like i wish it to..

The problem is i only want it to pop up when a user has a new mail...

I have tried this and a few others..

Add this below global at very top of the page...

$mc=$ir['new_mail'];

 

Then add this at the very bottom of the page...

if($mc > 0) { print "Pop up box here."; }

 

The box is popping up if there is a new mail or not it dosn't matter.

Any help on fixing this would be great.

try using <div> with your css

What you mean, you want it show up somewhere on a page or do you want a box to pop up saying something like "you have 1 new mail"

well here's a little script to make a box pop up when you have 1 new mail

 

if ($ir['new_mail'] > 0)
{
echo '<script>
alert("You have 1 new mail!")
</script>';
}

 

add it to header.php

In my opinion I think it would be annoying as hell if u didn't want to read your email right away that you got a pop up on every page click. Especially if you are in the middle of attacking somebody.

Attacking, is one click attack ;)

also i have no mainmenu on my game so it dosn't display mailbox (1) sort of thing.

Re: Mailbox popup... in header???

have you looked up <div> or just over looked it?

somthing along these lines (off the top of my head)

css:

.message {
border: 2px soild #333333;
font: 12px Arial;
text-indent: 3px;
height: 200px;
width: 300px;
overflow: auto;
position: absolute;
left: 100px;
right: 100px;
top: 100px;
bottom: 100px;

 

div:

if ($ir['new_mail'] > 0)
{
echo '<script>
alert("<div class='message'>stuff here or message</div>")
</script>';
}

 

if it dont work ... Use google and google <div>

I don't think its to do with div i think the header isn't searching the database for "new_mail" :?

Re: Mailbox popup... in header???

Re: Mailbox popup... in header???

Re: Mailbox popup... in header???

what you using for the box that would help?

Re: Mailbox popup... in header???

Its not anything to do with the box..

It's to do with the if statment.

The popup box works fine (from dynamic drive)

But will not open when i want it to lol.

So its the statment.. must be not calling it properly

Re: Mailbox popup... in header???

Ok i have had a play around and have got this far...

 

<?php
global $db, $ir;
if ($ir['new_mail'] > 0)
{
echo '<script>
alert("You have 1 new mail!")
</script>';
}
else
{
}
?>

 

I have named that file mainmenu.php and got the header.php to call it.

The pop up box works but pops up even if you dont have a new mail.

Any more help?
