absolutely installed Joe ... nice job ;)

[Boofo]

I'm using the older version on 3.7 just fine. Is there any real need to update this?

[codershark]

Is it possible to include the Avatar from Sender in the preview ?

[Princeton]

I'm using the older version on 3.7 just fine. Is there any real need to update this?this one has been updated to remove static urls from preview (some urls are too long and may break narrow layouts)

[Boofo]

Ahh, OK, thanks. I haven't run into that yet but I will update it anyway. Thank you, sir. ;)

[BigDog56]

very nice and needed! thank you!

[Howell]

Another great addition. :up:

I have that disabled because I'm using the following mod for previews instead:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=145187


The enhanced listing mod shows the full PM at the moment. Is there anything I can modify in this to specify a character length without having to enable the default thread previews?

Thanks.

[Hornstar]

Thanks, upgrading to 3.7 now and will add this in :)

[samsci]

Installed and very nice!

Disregard this. I found it.

Good mod. :up:

That's in a Plug Ins, right? When changing it I entered 100 with and without the quotes and it didn't work.

[Pamela]

This is awesome! Thanks!!! :D

*clicks install*

[Pamela]

Now that the message preview is showing...which I love by the way! :)...the post indicator (the little smilie to the left of each PM) is super small and squished.

How can I go about fixing that to make it look normal again (while still keeping the message preview of course).

Thanks! :)

[Ryan Beal]

Correct. Title of the plugin is 'Print Message Preview'.

Since you mention quotes, I have a feeling you're just replacing 'threadpreview' with the number of characters. Replace everything from Princeton's post.

The last line of my private_messagelist_messagebit looks like this:

$pm['pmpreview'] = htmlspecialchars_uni(fetch_trimmed_title($pm['pmpreview'], 70));

[Dagothar]

Installed. My 4th, and the most complex. ;)

Using the ACP Plugin & Products install is a piece of cake. And things're better already in the UCP.

Reading your Readme.txt, I see I am to "* Upload images folder". OK. How?

Forgive this vBulletin tyro! With what, to where?

[Princeton]

upload images via FTP

by the way, there are no images associated with this plugin :confused:

[acegames]

Nice hack , just what I was looking for :)

LOL... I meant GTUserCP... :p
I figured it out where and how to put THOSE images, btw. And it works beautifully.
Thanks for the patient answer. :)

Love the hack by the way! :D

I'm assuming you are using large icons..
you will need to edit gtpm_messagelistbit template

REPLACE/REMOVE the following with whatever you want..
width="16" height="16"

very nice princeton

[lalbahadur]

Excellent Modification. **INSTALLED***

Is there any way by which we can get the username of the member displayed alongside the pm to come up in a color of the usergroup the member belongs to ?

[vmacedonia]

I have installed this mod, Extend and Customise "Mobile" Style Options (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=182692), and there is a option if you want some of the plugin's not to be loaded with the mobile skin.

Example:

//Disables MGC Chatbox
$vbulletin->options['mgc_cb_evo_active']=0;
//Disables Cyb Chatbox
$vbulletin->options['cybchatbox_enable_product']=0;What code should be put in there so that the plugin by default be disabled when the mobile skin is loaded?

$vbulletin->options['']=0;

[MonCher]

I just installed mine. It shows up when I go to user cp. Should it show up any other time? It looks great! Thank you!!!

[MarkoP]

Where is this located?

A)__ This is controlled via the Length of Thread Preview Text option.

[KURTZ]

there is a trouble with the 3.8.x ... with this hack i can't select all the messages that i've in the box ...

[vbboarder]

Bug: when you update to VB 3.8, the messages are not highlighted when selected and the 'Go' button does not update with the # of messages selected. Also, the checkbox to select all messages do not work.

Solution: The gtpm_messagelistbit template needs to be updated with 2 changes to be VB 3.8 compatible. Go to 'Style Manager' -> 'Edit Templates' -> click on gtpm_messagelistbit and FIND:
<td class="alt1Active" id="m$pm[pmid]" width="100%">.
REPLACE WITH:
<td class="alt1 alt1Active" id="m$pm[pmid]" width="100%">.
FIND:
<input type="checkbox" name="pm[$pmid]" value="$groupid" />.
REPLACE WITH:
<input type="checkbox" name="pm[$pmid]" id="pmlist_$pmid" value="$groupid" />.
That's it! Now selected messages should be highlighted, the 'Go' button should update, and the check-all checkbox should work. Hope that helps :D

[Quantnet]

Wow. thanks a lot.
I thought this is a bug in vb 3.8 and reported as such on vb.com :)

[Nadeemjp]

it is working though with 3.8 @ my forums.

How about if you have installed this "fix" and still can't select all by an individual date?

How about if you have installed this "fix" and still can't select all by each date?

This add-on (and similar add-ons)


seems to be affected by a problem with earlier versions of vBSEO conflicting with AJAX, so if you're running vBSEO check at their website for a patch or support
on certain installations (again running vBSEO), Firefox in particular seems to be affected. See if you can resolve the problem using IE or Opera - if that works, then see #1 above.

[nhlchuck]

I will check regarding VBSeo because it's not just a firefox issue. Thank you for your response!

I disabled vBSEO, reverted all the old templates and nothing seems to do the trick. Very strange.

Hi there!
Doesn't seem to work for me. The described error occurs after upgrading to vB 3.8.2 and making the template changes described in your post. :(

Edit: Sorry - I forgot to update my templates after upgrading 3.7.5 -> 3.8.2 - Works perfectly now thanks! After the update the first thing the members commented on negatively was that the advanced PM listing was gone. They will be glad to see it's back! :)

[Konstantinos]

this doesnt work well in 3.8.2 the previe shows but the checkbox to select all pms to delete doesnt work
