What I want to do is to draw attention to certain menu items in the user_info.php file.
So for example I have
Home
My Gallery
Announcements
Assignments
Contests
Logoff
What Id like to do is to put a small 5x5 flashing red gif square next to Announcements everytime I make a new announcement.
I know I can do it manually, and thats what I've done, but I'd like to put some kind of if statement in the system that when activated would do it for me.
So in the admin settings, I'd like to have a checkbox, for each menu item, that when checked would correspond to the flashing red gif on the users menu.
I would think it's as simple as if contests_on = 1 then show variable contest_gif where contest_gif is the name of a variable that would actually be an image tag in say functions.php or main.php or wherever it would have to go.
Anyone done anything like this.
Again I know I could do it manually, but I hate that, because Im quite lazy and while I do them to turn them on, I dont usually turn them off until I get really tired of looking at them with no new info.
Thanks,
