Sorry, can you explain what you want?

Using the pm system doesn't need any template tags...

Notification? Are you just wanting to display the inbox count with link on the sidebar?

If you already have the pm plugin, then you just need to add the template function call to your sidebar...

sp_pm_inbox($display, $usersonly)

replace $display and $useronly with true or false (or omit to get defaults of true and false respectively)...

$display is flag to echo the html display code (true) or just return the html code for you to do something with (false)...

$useronly is a flag to display a permission message for users who cannot pm (true) or output nothing if the user cannot pm (false)...

this template function, ie sp_pm_inbox();, would go in your sidebar or where you want it to show up... it is php code so has to go in a php segment...

there is no widget or shortcode for this...

just like adding a widget but instead use a text widget (one that supports php) and instead enter the template function, such as

<?php sp_pm_inbox(); ?>

this is standard wp template tag stuff so nothing sp specific...  understand if you havent dont that in wp before, but hopefully that helps...  if not, come on back...

good deal... thanks for the update!
