Hey guys,

I’ve got my widgets set up so I can execute PHP commands in them and I’m trying to set up custom mail notifications in a drop down panel once users are logged in.

I found something similar to what I’m looking for on the support forums here
http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-re-produce-notifications-in-a-custom-admin-bar/

However it seems a little over complicated than what I’m looking for;

I’m trying to tweak it to a simple if statement that just says either “you have no new messages” with an image of a red envelope above it, or “you have (number of) new messages” with an image of a green envelope.

my site address is http://www.pixelcove.co.uk

If anyone could give me some info regarding this I’d be grateful! I’ve spent hours editing individual lines but no luck so far lol

Many Thanks
