Read PMs (PM Management Suite Lite)

[Mosh]

Please click Mark as Installed if you are using this hack.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: This hack can only be used by Super Administrators.


What Does This Hack Do?hr
This version is a major update (a virtual re-write, there is very little original code left) of Dream's Read PMs hack v0.7. Permission for me to release this hack is shown here, and blessings are given by Dream here.

This hack will allow you as a Super Administrator to read your member's private messages.

Please, lets not get into a discussion in this support thread about the suitability of this hack and invading privacy etc, (I have seen this happen in other threads, so, I am pre-empting people before it starts). If you have a moral objection to this hack, please don't comment on it, just don't install it, it is as simple as that. This hack is here for people who want to use it, I have no opinion about it one way or the other.

Original Features by Dream:

List PMs separated by sent/received given a username or id
List all users with PMs
Search PMs by exact text, all words and at least one of the words List the latest X PMs sent

Fixed in this version:

BBCode in PMs is now parsed correctly !!!!
To and BCC fields when reading a single PM now display correctly
If a PM is displayed in Latest X PMs that has been deleted by all parties (from, to, cc, bcc) and it has not yet been deleted permanently by the hourly cron job, it will display a proper error message when clicking on the link for it, instead of displaying a database error
Any PMs that a user sent to others that included the themselves in the To or BCC now show up in Received PMs (they did not before)
High server load when clicking List Users with PMs, especially if there are 1000s of users that have PMs (now split into categories acording to how many PMs a user has)

Added in this version:

Now completely phrased (uses a language file that has 75 custom phrases that take the form $rpmphrase['phrase_name']), so can be translated into other languages very easily by creating a separate phrase file for each language
Now available in 7 languages:

English
Italian
German
Brazilian/Portuguese
Spanish
Turkish
French

Read Single PM - read a single PM by typing in pmtextid
Minimum length for each search term, and the ability to disable it
userids now displayed next to user (From, To and BCC)
userids are now click-able and linked to their admincp user profile, so user can be edited (ie prune all PMs from a spammer)
A more complete message is displayed if admin user is not super administrator, it has a link to vBulletin manual
To column to Lastest X PMs
To column to the recieved section of Read A User's PMs
To and From columns to Search for PMs
A lot of the formatting has been changed to make it look better (that is just my opinion)
Extra links to various functions for each user
Other things I can not think of right now


Frequently Asked Questions

Question:
How do I hide the Read PMs link?
Answer:
The only way to do so, is to not upload cpnav_rpm.xml and to use a shortcut/bookmark to http://<your-forum-path-here>/admincp/read_pms.php? instead.

Question:
How do I fix the following error when I upgrade to PHP 5.3.x and above?Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in xxxxxx

No, they are not, this hack just to read PMs only. Each userid is clickable and will take you the profile of that user in the AdminCP, so you can do your changes there.

How about add that to it if possible so they are directly editable/deleteable? It would be great to combat PM spam etc

You can use the Cyb - Login To User Account mod/hack to do that which is located via this link... https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=201286&highlight=Cyb+Login

I would rather use this mod but have never had the "need" for such. Sorry Mosh, did not mean to clutter your mod thread w/ info on other mods as you just released, I do not read users pm's but I realize the situation can occur on some boards in some circumstances :D.

Now, let's keep this thread clean for support.

Like I have already said, his hack is just to read PMs (that is why the hack is called Read PMs). I will not be altering it to add edit/delete functions. The links to take you to the page to edit the user are already in the hack, so you can remove a users PMs from there.

The only difference in respect to this hack and Dream's version is that I have added the same message but unparsed - if the unparsed message stretches the screen, it is because that is exactly the way it was stored in the database (ie the person typing the message did not use carriage returns (pressed enter) after every logical line.

If you want to get rid of the unparsed message part, the edit read_pms.php, find and delete the following:

REMOVED, AS HACK NOW PARSES CODE CORRECTLY AS OF v3.8.007

You are right, this is my take on Dream's Read PMs hack.

Saying that Dream's hack is Re-usable Code and I am allowed to use it to create my own version of his hack, which I have done and released here.

It is commendable that you are trying to protect a hack author, but in this case I think you are trying to protect the wrong hack author, as the hack that you linked to probably got their version of the hack from here, translated it in Arabic and released it as their own hack, because Dream created his hack in 2005 and my version of hack version is based on the version he released here on 6th August 2006, and the hack you linked to was dated 15 days later, and at that time it was not marked as Re-usable Code and they would therefore have been breaching copyright themselves (see here for when the hack was made Re-usable Code).

I am sure if the staff here think I stole the code, it will soon be moved to the graveyard.

Ups. Sorry for that.

But i have another issue that probably will leave me to uninstall this hack (keeping the v0.7). Selecting "latest PMs" everything works fine but selecting "Read PMs", "Search for PMs" or "List Users with PMs" my server load its the top, keeps raising and raising untill crashes the whole system. This didn't happen with the previous mod. Did anyone tested this? Or could it be just some of mine mysql or apache confs?

The queries for Read PMs, Search for PMs and List Users with PMs have not been changed between this version and Dream's version, they are the same queries.

The only query I have changed is in the function rpm_get_pms, where I joined the pm and pmtext tables, so all received PMs for a user will be displayed (in Dream's version, any PMs that sent directly to a user, as in the first recipient in the To field, or by BCC were not displayed when showing an individuals sent and received PMs).

This would not affect the functions that you said were causing issues, because if this hack does that, then so would Dream's version.

So, if you are experiencing high server loads, it is probably something at your end.

Update v3.8.002 - Thursday 26th March 2009

Thats odd!! If you did not change any querys (in the options i metioned) why does Dream's version works fine with all options and yours do not?

I replicated that too, but have fixed it in v3.8.003 :)

Thanks for the updates. I have to make a correction: the load issue (and of course nothing is displayed and mysql as to be restarted before crash) is only in "Read PMs". Sorry for my misinformation.

Quite simple. Just trying to find PMs for one single user, i type the user ID or Username in the "User ID or Username:" field and seems that the script stays in loop at MySQL and MySQL keeps raising the server load continiously but none PMs are displayed. I think there's no need for screenshots :confused:

Excellent update! However the high server load when trying to "Read PMs" for a single user remains that's a pity :( But as i said before one won't die because of that. My forum has 103118 users and all of them have at least one PM, maybe that's the reason why load gets so high - searching in thousands of PMs, although Dreams code works very well when listing a single user PMs. I'm not complaining, just reporting in case you wich to do something :)

You have another hack installed that is using the bbcode_fetch_tags file hook, this is called as part of function fetch_tag_list that is probably causing the problem.

This hack does not use any file hooks at all, and has not changed the calls to the function fetch_tag_list between v3.8.002 and v3.8.005, and again, it does not call the bbcode_fetch_tags file hook.

You can try editing read_pms.php, find the 2 instances of:
fetch_tag_list('', true)

Change them to:

fetch_tag_list()

And re-upload the file.

If that does not fix it, then what I advise you to do is to check any hacks that use the bbcode_fetch_tags file hook and disable it, and see the problem re-occurs, if it does not then post in that hacks' support thread.

IMPORTANT: This hack is now feature complete and there will be NO further updates, apart from fixing proven bugs.

Please read the above.

And even if this hack was not feature complete, I would still not be adding functions to edit/delete PM directly into this hack, this hack is called Read PMs, as that is all it does. It does have links to other parts of the AdminCP where you can delete all PMs for a user.

This is the second time I have posted that I will not be adding edit/delete functionality to this hack, I will not be replying to any more requests for this functionality, but I will also not be changing my mind at all.

Excellent update, as always. That's a pity that the high server load issue couldn't be solved and because of it i'll use both scripts Dream's and yours. Thank you again.

You have another hack installed that is using the bbcode_fetch_tags file hook, this is called as part of function fetch_tag_list that is probably causing the problem.

This hack does not use any file hooks at all, and has not changed the calls to the function fetch_tag_list between v3.8.002 and v3.8.005, and again, it does not call the bbcode_fetch_tags file hook.

You can try editing read_pms.php, find the 2 instances of:
fetch_tag_list('', true)

Change them to:

fetch_tag_list()

And re-upload the file.

If that does not fix it, then what I advise you to do is to check any hacks that use the bbcode_fetch_tags file hook and disable it, and see the problem re-occurs, if it does not then post in that hacks' support thread.

That fixed it. I know what the other mod is that it was interfering with, it was the video directory remixed. Changing above what you said fixed it thanks a lot.

Can a regular admin upload this?

Can a regular admin upload this?
If they have ftp access, then yes. But only Super Administrators can use this hack.

[mrtroybaker]

Where would one go to change what the "button" says? Instead of "Read PM's" I would like to change it to say someting else like "master delete". Thus any admin clicking it would get the super admin message and would never know what it was. I have no desire to use this hack unless warranted thus being the reason noone else needs to know its there.
Thanks

[pedroenf]

Easy. Change read_pms.php name to (for ex.) super_admin.php, open read_pms.php (or super_admin.php if already changed) and where its says: define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'read_pms'); change it to: define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'super_admin'); open cpnav_rpm.xml and change this lines to what ever modified above:

<navoption displayorder="130">
<text>Read PMs</text>
<link>read_pms.php</link>
</navoption>

Thanks for allowing me to build on your original version :)

As for v4.0, we will not know until the release the betas, RCs and then Gold, if any of our hacks will still work or not. I suppose we will find out in due course.

[mariocaz]

Very useful and great mod I had the older version

It will be greatful if we coul have also a column "To" so we will know to who that pm was sent.

Mario

[GrandPrixLeague]

I installed this as the instructions said but "read pms" is not showing up in the listunder "users"

Also how do I know if I am the super administrator ? I assume I am as I am the only admin

[decca87]

check on your config.php file

[Mosh]

I installed this as the instructions said but "read pms" is not showing up in the listunder "users"
If you checked and the file cpnav_rpm.xml is in your /includes/xml folder then you should be able to see the link Read PMs under the User section.

[mariocaz]

Mosh and what about to have the TO (only we have the FROM) column ??

[Mosh]

Mosh and what about to have the TO (only we have the FROM) column ??
It is already in the hack, has been since v3.8.001

Mmmm very strange, I installed the mod this last thursday and I don´t have the TO column.

Well, it is there, check the screenshot attached. So, I am not sure what is going on.... 100s of sites use this and have the To field.

[mariocaz]

Jejejeje oh yes I have that, but I mean this Mosh.

If we have that TO column will be more easy to ready the PM?s and to find it.

Please check it. :)

[Mosh]

Jejejeje oh yes I have that, but I mean this Mosh.

Please read the first post, I am not going to be adding that:

IMPORTANT: This hack is now feature complete and there will be NO further updates, apart from fixing proven bugs.

[mariocaz]

Oh ok, I think that this remasterized mod have that, I really hope in the future you can add the TO column.

Thank you for all your swesome help!!

[Se?or Ramos]

How were you able to set it so only super admins could use it?

[trickfly]

Can the supermods read the admins pm inbox ?

[Biker_GA]

No. Super admins only.

[Mosh]

How were you able to set it so only super admins could use it?
It is already setup so only super administrators can use it, and if any other administrator tries to use it a message displays telling them only super administrators can use it and there is a link to vbulletin manual page that tells them how to add super administrators.

[Mosh]

Can the supermods read the admins pm inbox ?
No, as Biker_GA said and it says at the top of the first post:

IMPORTANT NOTICE: This hack can only be used by Super Administrators.

[Byron]

good mod. thank you.

[derfy]

Must have for curtailing spammers.

[radmoose]

While I can think of a few 'features' to add to this MOD (To:, Read Time, Delete PM) I am really happy with the mod. It has helped deal with spammers.

Thanks!

[Hall of Famer]

Can I edit the templates so that assistant admins and super mods can read PMs as well?

[Mosh]

Can I edit the templates so that assistant admins and super mods can read PMs as well?
There are no templates, you would need to edit the files to alter permissions, and you would have to create a new file for the ModCP as Super Moderators do not have access to the AdminCP.

[Mellymonster]

I am curious if there is away to make that only the #1 member is the only one who can read the PM's? I know through config I can make it so only #1 can see full ACP, but I'm talking about just this mod.

[Biker_GA]

You have more than one superadmin?

[server-ceo]

this is exactly i am looking for!, i need only #1 can use this hack

[Biker_GA]

It doesn't matter what the user number is. It goes off who is defined as a super admin in config.php.

[Mellymonster]

Yes we have a few supers.

Right and I would like to be the only super who can read the PM's so I know its being used for the right reasons, not to snoop on people, I am not saying my other admins will do this, I just want to make sure, KWIM? I want them to be full supers though, but just this one thing they can't do. Could there be away to make this so?

[Mosh]

No, unfortunately not, if they are Super Administrators they can use this hack, if they are normal Administrators then they can not.

[christian8a]

How is people supposed to keep a copyright text for a mod like this? sorry but doesnt make a bit of sense.... Read PM's by....

[radmoose]

As there are no Update Instructions in the new file, do I just need to overwrite the PHP file if I had the previous version installed?

[Mosh]

Major Update: v3.8.007 - Thursday 2nd July 2009
-- Fixed: Now correctly parses BBCode Tags !!!
-- Added: Correct header when viewing single PMs
-- Updated: Screenshots

This update has now finally solved the biggest ongoing issue of BBCode not being shown in this hack (it has been the case since Dream first created this hack in June 2005 - over 4 years ago).

There should now be nothing more to fix :D

[Mosh]

As there are no Update Instructions in the new file, do I just need to overwrite the PHP file if I had the previous version installed?
That is correct.

As there are no files to import into the AdminCP in this hack, all you need to do is just over-write the old files :)

[steve1966]

thanks

[ITDarasgah]

updated...thanks

[Mosh]

Major Update: v3.8.008 - Saturday 4rd July 2009
-- Fixed: Several missing </div>s
-- Fixed: Uncached BBCode templates (save up-to 4 queries when viewing a PM)
-- Added: New English language phrase file - 74 new phrases
-- Added: 'To' column to 'Lastest X PMs'
-- Added: 'To' column to the recieved section of 'Read A User's PMs'
-- Added: 'To' and 'From' columns to 'Search for PMs'
-- Updated: A virtual re-write of the base code to remove all the hard-coded phrases

Has you will have noticed there is now a separate phrase language (as the hack has been previously hard coded with the English language). It now enables people to easily create alternative language files, and is something I encourage people to do if they have the time to do so, and post it here, so it can be added to the official hack. See the Translations section in the first post on how to create and submit new languages to be added into the official hack.

This is an issue with the To column information not being passed (or incorrect info being passed) to the function in question.

Also can I get a bit more info please? Such as vBulletin version, php version and if the same error occurs with other functions. Can you also post a screenshot of the error. If you are worried about revealing sensitive info, blank out the appropriate columns in the screenshot.

I may end up having to look at your installation to track what is happening if I can not help in this support thread.

Anyone else having this issue??

Please, lets not get into a discussion in this support thread about the suitability of this hack and invading privacy etc, (I have seen this happen in other threads, so, I am pre-empting people before it starts). If you have a moral objection to this hack, please don't comment on it, just don't install it, it is as simple as that.

What I think is happening is that the for some reason the array that holds the To, CC and BCC users for certain PMs is not being picked up, and as a consequence empty arrays are being passed to the function that creates the list of recipients that is displayed in the To field. I have done a change that should display a message Reciepients can not be displayed. if I am right.

Can all four of you try the file attached and let me know if it works (i.e. no error messages and displaying the message above in some fields? Simply over-write your old version with this one.

If it fixes the issue, I will release a new version :)

EDIT: Removed attachment, as this has now been rolled into the official v3.8.009 release.

As a lot of people benefit from this hack, again, if you have time, I would urge you to help me out and give back to the community at the same time, by providing a translation in your native language (as long as there is not an official translation already out there). So, if you read and write a different language other than English, and have a couple of hours to provide a translation in your language, please see the Translations section above for more information.

Is there any way to get your version of this Reading PMs mod to be listed by user name rather than totals. It seems to be a waste of time to first list the PMs by totals. I need it to show a list of usernames.

Anyway to get this to list like Dreams version but with your updates?

[radmoose]

The error issue is resolved.

In the individual PM, there is no TO listed. Not sure what is up with that.

Yes, but the reason I did it this way rather than leave it the way Dream does it, is because Dream's version works fine on smaller forums with only a few thousand members on it. But when you get into the tens of thousands of users and they all have at least one PM, then what happens with Dream's version, is that it starts taking thirty plus seconds for the query to complete as Dream's version does not have any form of pagination, thus rendering this hack unusable (I have actually replicated this issue on a Big Board).

That is why it is the way it is in this version.

I may look into doing it via username (no promises), but it would definitely need to have pagination incorporated to prevent making the hack useless. It would be in addition to to via PM totals, not instead of them. But like I said, no promises.

[Mosh]

The error issue is resolved.

In the individual PM, there is no TO listed. Not sure what is up with that.
It means that the To array in the individual PM is not being retrieved from the database, and as a consequence it is not being displaced. It has been this way since v3.8.001 of this hack, so it is not the hack doing this.

Also, I have found that this happens with forums that are really old (i.e. they were installed with a vBulletin version below v3.5), as the structure of PMs changed around vBulletin v3.5, so older PMs created in version 3.0.x or below may not show the To and CC and BCC fields correctly with this hack.

[yotsume]

I figured your design layout had to do with size of board issues. It would be awesome to have a paginated version that lists user names though. I hope you consider it.

[steve1966]

nothing personal, but I feel reading my users PM's is a violation of their rights. I could and would never think to do so.

This modification is very useful if members are are abusing or spaming a forum and if used in that context there is no raisng issue of violation of members rights.

thanks for the update

OK, now that you have clicked Mark As Installed, the first thing I noticed is that read_pms.php is not in your admincp folder. As print_cp_header() is an AdminCP function, if read_pms.php is not in the admincp folder, then you will have this issue - see the vBulletin API (http://members.vbulletin.com/api/vBulletin/_includes---adminfunctions.php.html#functionprint_cp_header) for more info.

You know, this is one of those hacks, as an admin... I don't really want to admit I have... but I got a bot that has managed to bypass vBulletin's image verification, etc... to register and then PM me with an advert for his crap that enabled him to register and spam me with PMS !


Hello, Bluetiereign!

I see you want to promote your website. More effective, for less price...
It's easy ;) . *X*.09 P*m is a software complex, which can post to more than 1.000.000 forums, blogs, guestbooks, BBS's, boards, etc.*

It's price was grow up to $540, and continues growing.
Just use Google for purchase X*r.

P.S. Do not use X*9 and X*.0 - it is too old and buggy versions.


So... I take the time to go to the database, look up the id and get to deleting all of the spamming he has done to the other members.

So, if I want to read PM's.. I could do it anyway since I have access to the database... no, I do not want to read your PRIVATE message's... but yes, I do want a quicker way than digging through the database to see if I'm the only one getting spammmed... so yes.. I have this installed - not to read PM's - but to lighten the load a bit.

Sorry... I just hate having to actually need this. But thanks, it is useful.

Hi Mosh, and thankyou for another greatfull hack.

Is there the possibility to hide the label 'Read PMs' to the regular admin and to anyone NOT SuperAdmin?

ty 4 hints will be highly appreciated

edit: on script line #63 there is a little issue. I immagine the correct one should be :

rpm_print_stop_back($rpmphrase['error_no_permissions'] . '<br />' . $rpmphrase['error_no_permissions_super'] . '<br /><a href = "http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/what_is_superadmin">' (http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/what_is_superadmin&quot;>') . $rpmphrase['error_no_permissions_super_what'] . '</a>');

This is just a typo fix update. There is no new functionality, no bug fixes, just fixed four typos. So, only update if you feel the need to.

And yet, again I am requesting this. As a lot of people benefit from this hack, if you have time, I would urge you to help me out and give back to the community at the same time, by providing a translation in your native language (as long as there is not an official translation already out there). So, if you read and write a different language other than English, and have a couple of hours to provide a translation in your language, please see the Translations section in the first post for more information.

Hi Mosh,

I recently installed your mod, but:

1st: I dont have a link in the ACP
2nd: When I try to open the read_pms.php manually, it redirects me to the forum index

=(

=(
Are you sure you followed all the steps in the installation instructions in the readme.txt file? As the first problem and most likely the second are being caused by not following the instructions to the letter.

[MTGDarkness]

Question on this MOD. Is it possible to prevent my global moderators, who have access to the user part of the admincp, from seeing/reading this link to the specific part, or concealing it elsewhere? Also, same with a coadmin.

gj and thx for the update.

Hi, for some reason smilies are not showing up In the read pm's. Just red X's. This is the url that the red X's are pulling from forum/admincp/images/smilies/smile.gif It would work If admincp directory wasnt included in the url. Any one else notice this?

[bigdjam]

Good work, thank you

[Jwolfe]

Love this mod... been using it or one like it for years. Thank you for all your hard work.

That is not very helpful, "Doesn't seem to be working" does not really cut the mustard, as the problem could be anything.

Can you post exactly what is not working, be as descriptive as possible. Then I may be able to tell you what the problem is.

[persianpros]

how can i hide it from normal admins ?

[Mosh]

how can i hide it from normal admins ?
The only way to do so currently, is to not upload cpnav_rpm.xml and to use a shortcut/bookmark to http://<your-forum-path-here>/admincp/read_pms.php? instead.

[Byron]

Don't work on 3.8.4

[yotsume]

Don't work on 3.8.4

You mean is doesn't work for you on your site's setup. I have this installed on all my sites and they are 3.8x and it works perfectly. I suggest you give more info as to your setup, themes, etc, so the developer can help you to fix your problem. ;)

cheers mate, will be handy when users start fighting over pm.

[Dr.LoVe]

Nice work

can you add 1 thing ?

Read and unread PMs ??

[Elenna]

This won't mark the PM as read for the intended recipient, so there is no need to "unread" it, unless I'm not understanding your request?

Once I work out how to convert it, I will be releasing a version for v4.0.x. There is no ETA at the moment.

[Spinball]

Thanks for updating this mod from the previous version.
Just installed. My Supers are having permission problems - they are not able to access it.
Looking at the code:
if (!in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'], preg_split('#\s*,\s*#s', $vbulletin->config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'], -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY)) )
and I don't understand it. It seems to be matching some text?
Why not just compare usergroup ids?
Any idea why my super moderators can't get in?

PM Management Suite for vb4?

[Mosh]

PM Management Suite for vb4?
There will be, as soon as I work out how to get it to display BBCode in vBulletin 4.0.0 Gold.

The template system has completely changed in v4.0.0 and in their current form either Read PMs (PM Management Suite Lite) or the PM Management Suite work 99% already, but any PMs that contain BBCode do not display at all at the moment.

I sort of have a work around that does display the PMs with BBCode, but the indent formatting has been lost, so am sort of half way there at the moment.

See the attached screenshot of the PM Management Suite Lite for v4. I will be releasing this version at Wolfshead Solutions today, and will only available to members who have purchased a vBulletin.org Paid Subscription. But, once I have it working properly, it will be released here as well for free. However, there is no ETA as to when I get it working.

At the same time the full version of PM Management Suite will be available to purchase by customers.

[I.am]

Thanks I can't wait.

[Mosh]

Hi all,

It is with regret that after over 4 years (and thousands of hours) spent providing free support for my free hacks released here, as of today I will no longer be able to provide support for free.

This is due to being unemployed for a while, being strapped for cash and unable to rely on the virtually non-existant donations from here to help to pay the bills or put food on the table for my family. I am now providing all support for my free hacks released here over at Wolfshead Solutions (http://www.wolfshead-solutions.com) via an annual support subscription (for a small fee).

It does not mean I will be no longer release free hacks, I will, but I will just no longer be supporting them for free.

My free hacks have and always will remain free to download and use. And so will updates/bug fixes.

I will be releasing more free hacks, but if you require any support at all for those free hacks, you will need to purchase an annual support subscription over at Wolfshead Solutions to receive support.

I am really sorry I have to do this, but revenue generated by my programming gigs are now my only source of income, and I can no longer afford the luxury of providing free support here, when that time can be spent creating new commerial products, doing paid work requests or providing paid support to pay the bills.

Thank you for the understanding.

Regards,

Mosh.

Have you checked that the confirmation email is not being blocked as spam?

Anyway when will be released the PM Mangement Suite for vb4?

Thanks
I have not yet decided if I am going to re-write it from scratch to be front-end based or just do a minimal update when I can get it to work (vBulletin 4.0.x template system issue, the template system has never worked in the AdminCP, it has to be initialised) from the AdminCP. I am leaning more towards a total rewrite, as it would be a lot more flexible being front-end based.

When it is ready I will announce it. There is no ETA yet, but assume that it is at least 2 or 3 months away, if not longer. If it is going to be quicker than that, I will announce it.

[I.am]

Yes i have already checked and no one email in my spam box.

I have not received your email again.

[Mosh]

I have not received your email again.
Other members with the same email domain as you have been getting the confirmation email with no issues at all.

So, this would lead me to believe that the email address you registered with has a spelling mistake in it. Just log back in and correct the email address and I will resend the confirmation email again to the corrected email address.

[I.am]

I checked the email address and is correct

[radmoose]

Mosh, the confirmation email from your site appeared in my SPAM folder (using gmail.)

you plan on making this for VB4?

[Mosh]

you plan on making this for VB4?
Please read the first post of this hack, it contains all the important information (the same with all my other hacks):

vBulletin Version Compatibilityhr
This hack can be used with v3.8.0, v3.7.5, v3.6.12 and later versions. This hack should also work fine with earlier versions of v3.7.x and v3.6.x. This may even work for v3.5.x (not tested).

This hack is not yet compatible with v4.0.0 or later versions (this has been tested, and any PMs that contain BBCode tags will not show at all, and PMs without BBCode in them display fine).

I have already ported it to vBulletin 4.0.x, and have released a 99% working version over at Wolfshead Solutions (all PMs do display in full, but the actual formatting of the BBCode is lost). It is only available to members who have purchased a vBulletin.org Hacks Support Subscription at the moment until the BBCode formatting issue has been sorted out (i.e. when I work out how to get vBulletin 4's template system to work in the AdminCP correctly). Once that is sorted out, I will be releasing it here for you too.

I'm sorry but do I understand correctly that this puts branding on every forum page for every user? That can't really be, can it? I thought the branding would just be on the pages generated by the mod and maybe the admin cp in general... on every forum page is totally not acceptable.

Or do I misunderstand?

No, you are correct, and did not misunderstand.

It is only on the AdminCP pages that are generated by this hack that display my copyright branding and no other pages.

Just a note: None of my hacks that have copyright branding in them ever have copyright branding outside of the pages that that particular hack generates.

In PHP 5 and above pass-by-reference is done automatically, but in PHP 4 had to be done explicitly. As of PHP 5.3 you will get the deprecated warning message appear.

What you need to do is edit read_pms.php, at line 502 find:

$bbcode_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());

and change it to:

$bbcode_parser = new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());

That should fix your issue :)

I am probably not going to put a fix for download yet, as most vBulletin v 3.x.x installations still reside on servers that have not been upgraded to PHP 5.3 and above yet.

[Chadi]

Thanks, but I tried that, didn't fix it.

[Mosh]

Thanks, but I tried that, didn't fix it.

That does fix it for this hack, as there is only 1 "pass by reference" in the read_pms.php file.

You have remember that even vBulletin 3.8.7 PL2 (latest version of 3.8.x) has not been designed with PHP 5 in mind and PHP 5.3 will display multiple depreciated messages without this hack installed at all.

For instance, I just checked and there are 16 lines in vBulletin 3.8.7 PL2's includes/init.php file that will generate the depreciated message you are getting and I have not even checked any other vBulletin files, so I suspect there are a lot more of them.

You are going to need to post about this at vBulletin.com if it has not already been flagged.

If i have 3 or 5 field with "Recipients can not be displayed", then 3 or 5 error message displayed and soon...

Please, fix this issue.

why should u read pms for users thats unfair if i was the administrator or vb.org i will remove this mod directly and band the author u cant read users pm... that spyin...

[Kolektor]

I think it is just a matter of choice. I will read PM from a member with whom I suspect doing bad in my forum. Nevertheless, I will respect the privacy of "private" messages of my members.

Per the first post

Please, lets not get into a discussion in this support thread about the suitability of this hack and invading privacy etc, (I have seen this happen in other threads, so, I am pre-empting people before it starts). If you have a moral objection to this hack, please don't comment on it, just don't install it, it is as simple as that. This hack is here for people who want to use it, I have no opinion about it one way or the other.

But you use his code and sell it for money. very lame. :down:If you would READ the first post, you would see the code is used WITH PERMISSION and the free version is slightly improved, and the OPTIONAL paid version has many more features the original never had.

Try reading the information.
