PM button in postbit

[peterska2]

This is the new and improved version of the PM button in postbit modification found here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=100822).

What does it do?
Adds the PM button to the postbit of each user next to the edit button.
It does not show in your own postbit, as you don't really want to send yourself a PM - do you? :p

So what's new and improved about it?
It no longer shows in the private messages or to guests.

How to install
Download the text file and perform the enclosed template edit.

For those who want to know what it looks like, a screen shot is attached.

[friendly]

installed! seems to work, but 3.6 was just installed and i'll verify when a new user is added. It looks good in the preview. :)

Thanks!

[thc]

thanks !

[Terminatoronly]

installed thanks

[yesfans]

This is not working for me on 3.6.0, should it,. can it??

[yesfans]

anyone?

[peterska2]

There is no reason why it wouldn't work.

When you say it isn't working, in what respect do you mean?

[Brandon Sheley]

nice, now to find someone to make a matching icon for the style :)

[yesfans]

I have it coded into POSTBIT as you state for 3.6 but it does nothing, shows nothing. I was able to get it to work in 3.6rc1 but not this new 3.6. I do not see the code you say to look for in the postbit legacy.

[peterska2]

It doesn't show in your own posts, so you need to look at someone elses posts to see it.

Also if you cannot find the entire code to find, just search for<!-- controls -->

[yesfans]

I got it!

[ctsolutions]

with the first line code:

<if condition="$post[userid] != $bbuserinfo[userid] AND THIS_SCRIPT!='private'">

didnt run by me, on vbulletin 3.6.

without the first line runs, like a charm.

thanks,
mike

[Snake]

Thanks for the 3.6 version! :)

[davelacey]

Works like a charm.
Many thanks. :)

[Gnappy]

thanks

[Ascor]

Installed works fine, thank you :)

[Acido]

Any chance to quote the post message into the PM?

Edit: Nevermind. I found this hack: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=115315

<if condition="$post[userid] != $bbuserinfo[userid] AND THIS_SCRIPT!='private'"><if condition="$show['pmlink'] AND $show[member]"><a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpm&amp;u=$post[userid]" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/sendpm.gif" alt="sendpm.gif" title="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[send_private_message_to_x]</phrase>" border="0" /></a></if></if>

Thanks

[McMendo]

Also if you cannot find the entire code to find, just search for
<!-- controls -->*click* installed. Thank you.

But now I'm left to wonder what this line of code that I don't have in my postbit_legacy or postbit templates is. I'm missing bits and pieces since I upgraded from 3.5.4 to 3.6.
<if condition="$post[userid] != $bbuserinfo[userid] AND THIS_SCRIPT!='private'">

[phovanxua]

Installed ...work on 3.6.2 and 3.5.4 .

Thanks .

[oberheimhaven]

Very nice hack thank you!!!
Installed 3.6.0 zero issues!!

[yoyoyoyo]

the code seems to have changed for 3.6.4

[KURTZ]

3.6.4 works correctly :P

[Veer]

Installed.

Is there any way to add another button (E-mail this page) on thread's 1st post in postbit template?

Thanks.

[ND4SPD]

Great tweak. Thanks!

[peterska2]

Thanks.
I'll see about that next time I'm in the style manager.

[smoknz28]

the code seems to have changed for 3.6.4

Yea it did to:

<div style="margin-top: 10px" align="$stylevar[right]">
<!-- controls -->


Regardless...there's only one <!-- controls --> piece in that particular template.

Added the code in the instructions under it.

Working with no issues. ;)

Thanks for sharing this code with us. :up:

[SkippySkippy]

Nice and simple, installed. :)

[cbiweb]

I'm wondering why this is needed when there's a link to PM the person in their username drop-down?

[bplinson]

Very Nice

[encryption]

It didnt work for me either. 3.6.4

Installed it in the postbit template and it doesnt appear in the post

I even deleted <if condition="$post[userid] != $bbuserinfo[userid] AND THIS_SCRIPT!='private'"></if> and still no go

[peterska2]

I've only just upgraded to 3.6.4 last night, so any problems are going to be revisited over the coming days/weeks and updates issued where required.

In saying that though, there isn't any reason why this wouldn't work that I am aware of.

[encryption]

Thanks for the update, I had only updated the postbit section, added it to posbit legacy and sure enough it pops right up

[KURTZ]

K-Anne what are the code changes in your latest update?

i've installed this mod w/out any issues ... so what i do now?

Absolutely nothing. ;)

If there is to be an update it unknown yet, and if there is then I have no idea what it will be.

(Can you guess I haven't even thought about it yet?)

[Funboy]

Hi Kerry-Anne,

I like the look of this hack however I seem to has missed the point I think re the template edit?

Version 1.0.2

Changes in v 1.0.2

Does not show PM button in private messages
Does not show PM button to guests


TEMPLATES TO EDIT = 1

Template postbit (or postbit legacy)

FIND

<div align="$stylevar[right]">

I have version 3.6.4 and the only place I can find <div align="$stylevar[right]"> is in postbit_quickedit which can not be right surely?

I have done a full search in templates as I could not find the code in postbit when looking direct.

Any light you could shine why I am not seeing this in the postbit or postbit legacy would be wonderful.

Regards
Funboy


Update and the word TYPICAL come to mind!!!!

Just made this post then found what I was looking for!

For anyone else trying to add this look for this <div style="margin-top: 10px" align="$stylevar[right]"><!-- controls --> if you have any form of styling running on your forum as the style="margin-top: 10px" cought me right out on this one.

O'well all sorted at last so I can now say thank for a nice hack and worked first time once I found the above problem. One for my book that one!!!

Thanks again,

Regards
Funboy

[grecostimpy]

Works fine for me in 3.6.4.

[grecostimpy]

Funboy, 3.6.4 is a slightly different.

Find this:

<div style="margin-top: 10px" align="$stylevar[right]">
<!-- controls -->

.....and insert the code directly beneath it.

<if condition="$post[userid] != $bbuserinfo[userid] AND THIS_SCRIPT!='private'"><if condition="$show['pmlink'] AND $show[member]"><a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpm&amp;u=$post[userid]" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/sendpm.gif" alt="sendpm.gif" title="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[send_private_message_to_x]</phrase>" border="0" /></a></if></if>

[blind-eddie]

What would I need to do to add page along side pm, for those of use with vbpager?

[voter]

I put it in postnit_legacy after <if condition="$show['reportlink']"> to show the button near user name

[PoetJA-1975]

Very nice! Thanx for the share!

Jacquii.

[DasCool]

Ok i Can't even make it work, what is going on? I edited the Post Bit since that is where i found the code

[rusty123]

For some reason i couldnt make it work in the postbit legacy template, but it worked fine in the postbit template. If one doesnt work for you try the other, there is a <!-- controls --> in both templates.

[WAHMama]

Thanks, worked great :)

[princeedward]

Great & thanks for this nice mod....work fine to my vB 3.6.5 ;)

[eNtitY~]

Will this auto update for each template (the button) or is it generic?

[ragnar21583]

Worked like a charm! Had to do some searching, as there was more than one <!-- controls --> in the postbit legacy. :)

[Fungsten]

Do I add the new code below this? Thanks!

<td class="alt1" align="$stylevar[right]" style="border: $stylevar[cellspacing]px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-left: 0px; border-top: 0px">
</if>
<!-- controls -->

[BadgerDog]

Very nice Kerry-Anne.... :up:

Installed on v3.6.7 ..

Thank you... :)

Badger

[TuRKMeN]

installed thanks!

[Nutz]

Thanks for the hack, this is what I'm using;
<if condition="$post[userid] != $bbuserinfo[userid]">
<if condition="$show['pmlink']">
<if condition="!$post['forwardlink']">
<a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpm&amp;u=$post[userid]" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/sendpm.gif" alt="sendpm.gif" title="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[send_private_message_to_x]</phrase>" border="0" /></a>
</if>
</if>
</if>

<if condition="!$post['forwardlink']">
adding that extra <if> stops the PM button from showing up when reading PM's as you already have forward and reply, figure you don't need 'PM' as well :)

Thanks,
Mat

[thenewuser]

Installed, neato.

[SoftDux]

Great addon, thanx :)

[Outbackmark]

Works well, thanks!

[CrashPush]

Works great! If anyone wants the send PM button to not open in a new window, remove a short line of code.

Remove this line of code:
target="_blank" rel="nofollow"


The new code should look like this:
<if condition="$post[userid] != $bbuserinfo[userid] AND THIS_SCRIPT!='private'"><if condition="$show['pmlink'] AND $show[member]"><a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpm&amp;u=$post[userid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/sendpm.gif" alt="sendpm.gif" title="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[send_private_message_to_x]</phrase>" border="0" /></a></if></if>

Marked installed.

[yaoren]

**Installed**

And working well on 3.6.7 :)

[Fungsten]

In the Postbit Template, v. 3.6.8, I could find only:

<div style="margin-top: 10px" align="$stylevar[right]">
<!-- controls -->

And not the:


<div align="$stylevar[right]">
<!-- controls -->


as you mentioned in the instructions.

On Edit:

Also in the PB Legacy I found:

<td class="alt1" align="$stylevar[right]" style="border: $stylevar[cellspacing]px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-left: 0px; border-top: 0px">
</if>
<!-- controls -->

And not the:


<div align="$stylevar[right]">
<!-- controls -->

[SliceofLife]

Hi. I'm running 3.6.8 and I couldn't find the code required for replacement. So I couldn't install it. Sorry :o

[Chy]

I'm running 3.6.8 and just added the code under:

<td class="alt1" align="$stylevar[right]" style="border: $stylevar[cellspacing]px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-left: 0px; border-top: 0px">
</if>
<!-- controls -->


...and works fine! Thanks been looking for this for awhile!

[Ohiosweetheart]

Worked great for me! Thanks again Kerry-Anne.

[momo2]

Thanks so much... very useful..

[momo2]

I was wondering, once pm is click on that post, the link to that post will be posted also ? for that pm sent ? well that is the reason of sending pm from that post !!!

This hack is to just PM the user. The Mod you are looking for to quote the post is here:

i couldnt find what you said to search for because i have a custom style called ARIA from vbstyles but i just added it under <td class="postbit_br" align="$stylevar[right]"> instead and it worked great.. (if you cant find what it says try looking for that)

[Minha]

Thank you ;)

[mishb68]

:up: Installed. Thankyou.

[Atakan KOC]

Good work!

[Coleccromos]

Today speaking with an user of the forum tells me that she cannot see the button to send the private one from those post of the forum

As it is possible this if it is a modification of a you Template yourself :confused::confused:

[akvaryumforum]

Can we put this button in only the specified forums? OR how can we do this?

[hyppa]

I added this:

<if condition="$post[userid] != $bbuserinfo[userid]"><if condition="$show['pmlink']"><a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpm&amp;u=$post[userid]" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/sendpm.gif" alt="sendpm.gif" title="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[send_private_message_to_x]</phrase>" border="0" /></a></if></if>

after controls, and that did it.

Thank you!

[joeycano]

I added the above suggested language in postbit after "<!-- controls -->": (as illustrated below):


<if condition="$post[userid] != $bbuserinfo[userid]"><if condition="$show['pmlink']"><a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpm&amp;u=$post[userid]" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/sendpm.gif" alt="sendpm.gif" title="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[send_private_message_to_x]</phrase>" border="0" /></a></if></if>

:up:

[Coleccromos]

Should this modification see it all the users of the forum? alone we see it the administrators

[inder123]

Thanks For This :)

Tried And Worked

Thanks

[gwerzal]

Hi

I got this working but it opens the private message box in a new screen.

Any idea how to make it open in the same window.

[Boofo]

I added this:

<if condition="$post[userid] != $bbuserinfo[userid]"><if condition="$show['pmlink']"><a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpm&amp;u=$post[userid]" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/sendpm.gif" alt="sendpm.gif" title="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[send_private_message_to_x]</phrase>" border="0" /></a></if></if>

after controls, and that did it.

Thank you!

What do this do different from the text file in the first post? I'm just curious is all. ;)

[PoetJA-1975]

Hi

I got this working but it opens the private message box in a new screen.

Any idea how to make it open in the same window.

Find in the text edit...
target="_blank"

Simply erase that bit of code and it opens in the same window ;)

HTH,

Jacquii.

[Boofo]

Or change it to:

target="_top"

[sdavis2702]

Thanks! :)
