Are you good with phpbb code?

Ive already asked on 2 phpbb forums with no luck as of yet, im trying to edit a piece of code and cant make any sense of it.

the code makes new topics and new replies appear as a status message in a shoubox... the code is:

          /* ============= mChat Start ============= */
          global $table_prefix;
          // Add name for db.
          define('MCHAT_TABLE', $table_prefix.'mchat');
          // New post/message.
          if ($post_mode == 'post')
          {
            // For new post
            $mchat_new_data = $user->lang['MCHAT_NEW_TOPIC'];
          }
            else
          {
            // For new message
            $mchat_new_data = $user->lang['MCHAT_NEW_REPLY'];
          }
          // Data...
          $message = utf8_normalize_nfc($mchat_new_data.': [url='.generate_board_url().'/viewtopic.'.$phpEx.'?p='.$data['post_id'].'#p'.$data['post_id'].']'.$subject.'[/url]');
          // Add function part code from [url]http://wiki.phpbb.com/Parsing_text[/url]
          $uid = $bitfield = $options = ''; // will be modified by generate_text_for_storage
          generate_text_for_storage($message, $uid, $bitfield, $options, true, false, false);
          $sql_ary = array(
            'user_id' => $user->data['user_id'],
            'username' => $user->data['username'],
            'user_colour' => $user->data['user_colour'],
            'user_ip' => $user->data['session_ip'],
            'message' => $message,
            'bbcode_bitfield' => $bitfield,
            'bbcode_uid' => $uid,
            'bbcode_options' => $options,
            'message_time' => time()
          );
          $sql = 'INSERT INTO '.MCHAT_TABLE.' '.$db->sql_build_array('INSERT', $sql_ary);
          $db->sql_query($sql);
          /* ============== mChat End ============== */ 

Code (markup):

However I only want it to show new topics and not new replies/messages, So i took out the following piece of code from the above

        else
      {
        // For new message
        $mchat_new_data = $user->lang['NEW_MESSAGE'];
      }

Code (markup):

However this still made both new topics and new replies show up

Anyone know what im doing wrong?

 

yeah your doing it correct just remove other code. You are copying the both simultaniously.

 

Ive already tried it with removing the 4 lines of code that looks like its related to "new replies" however its still showing new topics and new replies
