message plugin

How do I put this new message bit in a older style cbuilder see attached

I have a CB site that hasn't had the new profile package installed because I don't want it to break my old design and configuration and I don't think it has this option in cbuilder fields?
It must be a new plugin or something?
Does it have to be in that position?
Thanks

There is no backporting of features. If you want the new internal PMS functionality you will have to update CB. You do not have to use the new canvas layout as the canvas layout is an addition to existing tab positions so you can freely move your tabs to different positions to maintain the old layout if you want.

I have the latest CBuilder installed but I can't see the internal PMS field
Do I have to instal the quickstart profile package to get it?
I don't want to install it over the top of an old cbuilder website I might break the site.
Thanks

That private message icon is displayed on the Menu tab as part of CB Menu above a users profile. Are you saying you don't see this icon? Ensure it's enabled within the Private Message System plugin in CB > Plugin Management as well as ensuring the PMS plugin it self is published. No you do not have to install CB Quickstart; that icon is not specific to CB Quickstart.

I can't get the icon to display on my old style cbuilder configuration.
It works great with the quickstart
does it have to be on the Menu tab as part of CB Menu above a users profile? Or is it part of that tab? I've never seen it before quickstart.
Thanks

Old style cbuilder configuration? I've no idea what you mean by that. The icon is displayed on the Menu tab above the users profile. It does not display anywhere else. It does not matter if you're using canvas layout or not as the menu is not specific to the canvas layout. If you're using an out of date version of CB then it of course won't display as it probably doesn't exist in the version you're using. The icon is not part of Quickstart; it has been available for months since the PMS plugin was rewritten.
