Description:
This mod changes the way notifications are displayed. It disables the default dropdown menu listed in the toplinks in the header and uses a free open script called jGrowl to display them on the bottom left of the screen no matter where you are on a page. Helps with people "not noticing" the notifications. Enjoy. TheWindows7Site

Instructions:

1) Upload files in attachment to forum root

2) Open template headinclude

Paste the following code at the bottom
Code:
<
!-- TW7S - New Way To Display Notifications (jQuery,CSS,jGrowl) -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="jscripts/tw7s_notifications/jquery-1.4.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jscripts/tw7s_notifications/jquery.jgrowl.js"></script>
<link href="jscripts/tw7s_notifications/jquery.jgrowl.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
<!-- TW7S - New Way To Display Notifications (jQuery,CSS,jGrowl) -->
3) Open template header

Find the following:
Code:
<
vb:if condition="$notifications_total">
<li class="popupmenu notifications" id="notifications">
<a class="popupctrl" href="usercp.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase your_notifications}: <span class="notifications-number"><strong>{vb:raw notifications_total}</strong></span></a>
<ul class="popupbody popuphover">
{vb:raw notifications_menubits}
</ul>
</li>
<vb:else />
<li class="popupmenu nonotifications" id="nonotifications">
<a class="popupctrl" href="usercp.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase your_notifications}</a>
<ul class="popupbody popuphover">
<li>{vb:rawphrase no_new_messages}</li>
<li><a href="private.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase inbox}</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</vb:if>
Replace with:

Code:

<!-- TW7S - New Way To Display Notifications (jQuery,CSS,jGrowl) -->
<vb:if condition="$notifications_total">
<script type="text/javascript">

$.jGrowl('{vb:raw notifications_menubits} <br />You must view your notification(s) before this box will disappear.' , { sticky: true, header : 'New Notification(s)' } );

</script>
</vb:if>

<li><a href="private.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase inbox}</a></li>
<!-- TW7S - New Way To Display Notifications (jQuery,CSS,jGrowl) -->

Done!

Have fun customizing this to fit your needs.
