New PM button in messagelist

[Mazinger]

This is a modification to show 'send pm' button in messagelist -- screenshot attached.


Style Manager -> Edit Templates -> pm_messagelist

Find:


<if condition="$show['pagenav']">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" style="margin-bottom:3px">
<tr valign="bottom">
<if condition="$pagenav"><td align="$stylevar[right]">$pagenav</td></if>
</tr>
</table>
</if>


Replace it with:



<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" style="margin-bottom:3px">
<tr valign="bottom">
<td><a href="private.php?do=newpm"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/sendpm.gif" alt="$vbphrase[send_new_message]" border="0" /></a></td>
<if condition="$pagenav">
<td align="$stylevar[right]">$pagenav</td></if>
</tr>
</table>



Then save.



You may change $stylevar[imgdir_button]/sendpm.gif to any other image.

Ditto.

[Super Jinni]

nice one

thanks

but it doesn't show only if there is a message or more in the inbox or in the outbox

if any of them is empty, the button doesn't show up..

that what I wanted to point to..

thanks

[Mazinger]

Yes, as the whole table disappear the buttons should disappear too.

[Super Jinni]

why not make it appear when there is table just like the new thread button when there is no threads?

I think that will be better if possible of course....

^-^

Installed. Thanks. Nice and simple.

I'll put this under consideration when I look again into it. Thanks for your suggestion - it's logical. :)

Id like to see a PM tool bar actually. So right across the top it would say: New Message - Inbox - Sent - Saved, etc...

Each item on the tool bar would be an Ajax tabbed item. There is zero reason why we have to reload a whole page anymore these days because Ajax is now perfectly integrated with VB.

More Buttons in PMs!

Aaa now this is how I like my PMs! (see my screenshot!)

I added more buttons in the line and already my members are in love with me! LOL

Here is the code I am using to do the replacement:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" style="margin-bottom:3px">
<tr valign="bottom">
<td><a href="private.php?do=newpm"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newmessage.gif" alt="$vbphrase[send_new_message]" border="0" /></a> <a href="private.php?s=&pp=&folderid=0"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/inbox.gif" alt="Inbox" border="0" /></a> <a href="private.php?s=&pp=&folderid=-1"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/sent.gif" alt="Sent Items" border="0" /></a></td>
<if condition="$pagenav">
<td align="$stylevar[right]">$pagenav</td></if>
</tr>
</table>

I like that a lot, does anyone have some icons to use with it? I have no idea how to make an icon.
