This is something I've been looking for.

I've installed it, however.....

To set options:
Go to: AdminCP > vBulletin Options > PM Preview

I can't find it in the vBulletin Options list anywhere, i've double checked and triple checked.

[m03]

Glad it's a mod you'll find useful, just noticed the settings bug when I tried installing it on another board that wasn't my test one, the settings don't seem to have exported correctly.. I'm trying to fix that now and will have a new release soon.

[m03]

Now Fixed..

and for any developers starting out with vb4 mods, you need to set the setting to "vbulletin default" otherwise they won't export (don't ask me why..)

[GamerPerfection]

Awesome it now works. Thanks very much.

It's great to see this function available yet again that my members used for the 3.x series!

Thanks so much! Installed!

[MrsZippy]

Installed, great MOD, thank you.

[iguano]

very very nice, thanks :-)

[m03]

I'm glad you are all enjoying this mod, it did amaze me that it wasn't made as a default part of the vB4 series.

I'm looking at adding the following features to the next version.

+ Enable/Disable via User CP
+ User can select inline or popup display
+ Custom Preview styling (not sure about this one but it's been suggested)

Any other suggestions?!

[Pamela]

Thank you so much for releasing this for vB4! Love this mod! :)

Just wanted to report a bug though...


When sending a long url, the url in the preview scrolls far off screen (a way past the border). See attached screenshot.


Can you post a fix for us for this please?

Thank you! :)

[Devanand]

Sweet little thing :)

Thank you

[Deirdre]

sweet!

It would be awesome if people could switch from the default to this.

[BozzaJos]

Im getting a black boarder around the preview text how can i remove that?

Any help would be very appreciated! :)

[NoSGR]

Will you update the mod for 4.1.8 Update?

[Eazy1]

Im getting a black boarder around the preview text how can i remove that?

Any help would be very appreciated! :)

I'm getting the same thing. How do I remove it?

[omerfarukak]

Please update for 4.1.8...

[OldSchoolDSL]

This developer has not be online since August 2010. Which is also when this modification was released. So I do not see anyone adding an update.

However, you are in luck. Someone else has released a modification that does the same thing.... And it does work on 4.1.8

[NoSGR]

OldSchoolDSL is right! Thank you man!

A mod please lock this topic or mention that it's incompatible with 4.1.8!

[Trevor Matthews]

I have been using this with no issues until I upgraded to 4.1.10

The preview of messages now starts with the word array on every preview.

I have had to uninstall it. A big shame.

[Boofo]

I am using this on 4.1.10 and it is working fine just like it did on 4.1.8 before I upgraded. You might want to try uninstalling and reinstalling it to make sure first.

[Trevor Matthews]

Many thanks Boofo, I just installed it again.
Then deleted Firefoxs history and files etc.
Then restarted Firefox and did a ctrl and F5 but I still have the same problem.

It is a very disappointing as it was really useful.

[Boofo]

Then the next step is to find out which mod might be messing with it. Disable your mods and add them back, one at a time, until you find the culprit.

[Trevor Matthews]

Thanks.

I will try that now.

[Trevor Matthews]

I disabled all but;

Everywhere sidebar gold
skimlinks
vbseo
blog
cms

re-installed with over write ticked but still the same.

[Boofo]

Check to make sure the template edits are correct. Do you have a custom style?

[Trevor Matthews]

OK, now you are going to lose me.

I have only changed the colours and basic things like that.
What template edits are we talking about?

[Boofo]

Are you using a custom style or the default?

[Trevor Matthews]

Hi

I am using the default style.

[Trevor Matthews]

I just installed the PM mod mentioned in the post at the top of this page and it is working fine.

Many thanks for your help Boofo.

[Stefan118]

I have the same problem.

Exapmle of a PM in my list:
Array postings verwijderd en een link geplaatst naar uw site
Hallo Arien, bij deze de mededeling dat wij div postings hebben verwijder en in een bericht de link hebben geplaatst naar jou site voor het verhaal over kds. hopende je hiermede voldoende te hebben geïnformeerd.

The word Array has to be the username who send me the PM in the inbox or the username who i send the PM to in the send box.

I remember me that i have to change something with bbuserinfo....
Don't know what exactly. There was a change in that.

The mod on the first post of this page dosn't work for me, the coder has tried to get it right for me, but gave up.

I use a custom style and a standard style.
Both styles have the same problem.

Please help me out.

[Stefan118]

I have tried some more and narrowed the problem down i think.
In the "pm_messagelistbit_preview" template is the following code:

<li class="blockrow pmbit" id="pm_{vb:raw pm.pmid}">
<div class="datetime">
<label for="pm_imod_checkbox_{vb:raw pmid}">{vb:raw pm.senddate} <span class="time">{vb:raw pm.sendtime}</span> <vb:if condition="$show['pmcheckbox']"><input type="checkbox" name="pm[{vb:raw pmid}]" id="pm_imod_checkbox_{vb:raw pmid}" value="{vb:raw groupid}" /></vb:if></label>
</div>
<img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_statusicon}/pm_{vb:raw pm.statusicon}.png" class="threadicon" alt="" />
<vb:if condition="$show['pmicon']">
<img src="{vb:raw pm.iconpath}" class="posticon" alt="{vb:raw pm.icontitle}" />
</vb:if>
<vb:if condition="!$show['unread']">

{vb:raw userbit} <a href="private.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=showpm&amp;pmid={vb:raw pm.pmid}" class="title">{vb:raw pm.title}</a>

<fieldset style="padding-left:10px;width:80%;">{vb:raw preview}</fieldset>
<vb:else />
<span class="unread">
{vb:raw userbit} <a href="private.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=showpm&amp;pmid={vb:raw pm.pmid}" class="title">{vb:raw pm.title}</a>
</span>
<fieldset style="padding-left:10px;width:80%;">{vb:raw preview}</fieldset>

</vb:if>
<hr class="none" />
</li>


If I remove the red marked code, the word "Array" is gone. However, there is also no username from who you got the PM.

Is there an other code for "{vb:raw userbit}"?

[Boofo]

Try ForumsMods PM preview for vb 4 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=259318). It works fine.

[Stefan118]

No, this mod doesn't work for me.
Adrian has tried to fix my problem with that mod.
Gave him access to my ACP and all, but he couldn't get it work.

The problem with that mod is if you have 10 PM's, the first PM perview is correct.
The second preview the text is double.
The third preview the text is triple
and so on.

So at the 10th PM you see the preview 10 times!!!

[Nassou]

For those who are getting the "Array" message you just need to replace "{vb:raw userbit}" by

<vb:each from="userbit" value="row">
<a href="{vb:link member|js, {vb:raw row}}" class="username understate"><b>{vb:raw row.username}:</b></a>{vb:raw row.comma}
</vb:each>

In the template pm_messagelistbit

There is also a better mod in this thread :
