PM Template Tags

Unread PMs

This template tag will display (or return) the number of unread PMs in the current users PM inbox. A link to the users PM inbox can also be displayed.

The default text is “You have # PM(s) in your inbox.”. The word ‘inbox’ will be a hyperlink to the users PM inbox. If the user is a guest or does not have PM privileges, the default text is “You do not have PM privileges”. The default text for users with no PM privileges can be suppressed when using the default text.

If the PM data is returned instead of displayed, it will be in an array with keys of ‘count’ and ‘url’. A count of -1 will indicate no PM permissions.
