A ProBoards v5 plugin that hides a Cbox behind a dialog, and shows a notification when a new message has been posted.

Cbox Notifications 1.0.1

A plugin built with the free forum software ProBoards that hides a Cbox behind a dialog, and shows a notification when a new message has been posted.

To test that the notification is working correctly: duplicate your browser tab, open the dialog from one tab, and send a message. You should see the notification appear over the trigger button in the other tab.

Installation

1. Download the cbox-notifications.pbp file and save it somewhere easily accessible, such as your Desktop or Downloads folder
2. Go to your forum's Admin Panel
3. Click on Plugins > Manage
4. Click the "Import Plugin" button
5. Click the "Choose Plugin File" button
6. Navigate to and select the cbox-notifications.pbp file
7. Once the plugin has been imported, click the "Finished" button near the bottom right of the modal dialog window

NOTE:

Requires a unique Cbox URL. Navigate to cbox.ws, log in to your Cbox account, and under the "Publish" page, find the URL within the iframe "src" attribute.
