Check user's pms with auto-refresh ?

[sgeorge]

Hello is there any way to check the user's personal messages with auto-refresh ? I mean every 4 or 5 seconds or more the site will refresh some parts of it to check if the user has a new pms. If the statement is true it should refresh the link that says: 0 new messages to 1 new messages or 2 new messages or what the number is...

How can this be done ?

Thank you in advance !!!

You need to use ajax to be able to do that and change the header to display that there are new PM's or display a modal popup stating you have new PMs. phpBB 3.1 will have this when it is released.

So you recommend me to wait for them or to start trying to code it ?

And another question: if I code it successfully now, in the future will I have to delete my coding so as the default phpbb3 board's code to work ?

Thank you

There is no harm in trying to code it (HINT: user jQuery and ajax) and the notification thing in 3.1 will include more than PM's.

github gives me a headache but it's [url=https://github.com/phpbb/phpbb3/pull/1171]here[/url]

I am sorry for the confusing but I think that it is not available for download right ?

Sorry again and thank you once more !

You can fork it into your github account but as to your request it would probably be easier to just code something up.
