This is something I've been meaning to hack into 1.x for a while. Can a kind 2.0 user tell me how it works?
It has to be something in the global.php right? It can't possibly add a PM query to check for new PMs everytime global is loaded, right? Maybe it does?
The only other way I could figure... is that it has a separate table that contains a list of members with unread messages then in the global it checks to see if you're on the list, if you are then it pops up the box.
any help?
p.s. I don't consider this stealing from jelsoft.. I don't want the code, just the theory. In no way is getting this, or even not getting this, going to change my mind about purchasing 2.0.. I'm just not interested as the conversion would be too much work for not enough gain. I'd rather hack in what I want to my custom VB, plus I will release this for any other 1.x'ers that want it.
