Does this add to the query?

My 1st thought is it would... For it to bring up a small sample of every PM a member would have in their inbox.

Is there a way to keep all lines aligned on the left so it does jump left on the second line?

Will add to next version.
Also you will able to change font, color, align, etc via stylevars.

[Boofo]

Great! I will be looking forward to it, sir. And thanks for making this happen so quickly. ;)

Also, will it wrap long continuous links? The other one didn't.

Installed on 4.1.1, works great!

Also tried to send myselfe a PM, so i had 1 unread, but nope. no changes.

Using vB 4.1.3

Can you find the following code in private_messagelist_start template?
{vb:raw pm.title}</a>

[lolly01]

The same Problem on my Board.

private_messagelist_start

has following Content:

require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_template_parser.php');
$parser = new vB_TemplateParser('{vb:raw pm.title}</a>');
$parser->dom_doc = new vB_DomDocument($parser->fetch_dom_compatible());
$find = trim($parser->_parse_nodes($parser->dom_doc->childNodes()));

$parser = new vB_TemplateParser('{vb:raw pm.title}</a> <div>{vb:raw pm.preview}</div>');
$parser->dom_doc = new vB_DomDocument($parser->fetch_dom_compatible());
$replace = trim($parser->_parse_nodes($parser->dom_doc->childNodes()));
$vbulletin->templatecache['pm_messagelistbit'] = str_replace($find, $replace, $vbulletin->templatecache['pm_messagelistbit']);

[Boofo]

Are you using the default style?

[Stefan118]

I searched for templates with this content:

{vb:raw pm.title}</a>

The only template that has this code in it is: pm_messagelistbit.

This is the content:
<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']">
<a href="private.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=showpm&amp;pmid={vb:raw pm.pmid}" class="title">{vb:raw pm.title}</a>
<ol class="commalist">{vb:raw userbit}</ol>
<vb:else />
<span class="unread">
<a href="private.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=showpm&amp;pmid={vb:raw pm.pmid}" class="title">{vb:raw pm.title}</a>
</span>
<ol class="commalist">{vb:raw userbit}</ol>

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

I use a default style and a customized style.
Both not working.

I cant even find the private_messagelist_start template!
Even not when i try to search for templates with the folowing content (copied the first line of code from Lolly01)

The only PM templates I have are these:
pm_editfolderbit
pm_editfolders
pm_emptyfolder
pm_filter
pm_messagelist
pm_messagelistbit
pm_messagelistbit_ignore
pm_messagelistbit_user
pm_messagelist_periodgroup
pm_movepm

pm_nomessagehistory
pm_popup_script

Sent you a PM.

[Boofo]

Adrian, are you planning up updating this with the changes you said or do we need to look elsewhere?

The first task is update this add-on

[Boofo]

LOL Glad to have you back, sir. What does the pd stand for in the pic?

[Juggernaut]

@Boofo
I don't know if ForumsMods speaks spanish, but in spanish, it's the same as PS, it means Posdata in spanish. :D

[Boofo]

Yeah, he's from Argentina so that explains it then, thank you. I want to see it with PS so I can use it, too. ;)

Right, I speak spanish.

[ForumsMods]

Those who have problems with the add-on, edit "PM Preview" plugin (Hook: private_messagelist_start) and change location to hook private_messagelist_messagebit

[Stefan118]

As I allready said by PM,
You're the best!

The problem is solved here.
Waiting to download the update (as backup)

Thanks!

[leftanalog]

Im having a different issue.

As the PM becomes lower in my inbox (Like the 2nd+) message sitting in my inbox the preview is doubling and tripling the output of whats previewed.

So for example the 5th message sitting in my inbox has 5 lines of preview text. They are the same 1 line repeated 5 times.

See attachment for screeny of what im talking about.

Any help?

[Alfa1]

Would be nice to see the preview on hover only.

[Stefan118]

I had the same...
I first had the problem explained above.
I gave the coder an admin name and password.
He fixed my first problem.

Then I had the same problem as you.
each PM received got an extra line.
I told the coder, he logged in again, and in 4 minutes it was solved.

Now actualy i'm still waiting on a fix to download in case of an emergency and i have to reinstall.

[leftanalog]

Well then if its correctable,
Can the coder come in here and explain what he did to correct the problem that I have stated in post:

New version released:
22-06-11: v4.1 - Font, Color & Padding can be easily changed

[sadiq6210]

for example if a pm contains 1000 letters
I don't want to show all message, can I make it to view just first 100 letter from each pm?

Thanks for update

The three stylevars are in Private_Messages group. Or you can search "preview_" in Stylevars

[Taurus1]

This is truly a great help. I often have to open countless PM's searching for a specific message. Thank you for this! It makes it so much easier now!! Rated 5 stars.

[MonkYZ]

Hmm, trying to change the look of it, but as you said in here
Where to set option:
Styles & Templates-> Style Manager-> Stylevars-> Private_Messages

I have no Private_messages in my Stylevars...

Hmm, i don't even have the Private Messages group... Running on vBulletin 4.1.3. I even looked inside the default style, and that groups isn't there either... Is there a way to fix this?

[Boofo]

Same here. I am on 4.1.3 PL1 and there the style variables for this mod do not show up under Private_Messages. I tried to add them manually and it said they already exist but they are not showing in the style variable listing anywhere.

I uploaded a new product xml (4.1.1).
Please try this.

[MonkYZ]

Thanks! Now the private stylevars are there. But i've noticed changing the padding values does nothing. The font colour/style is working just great!

Thanks and keep up the good work!

Which values are you using in padding?

[MonkYZ]

Now i have no values inserted (it's just blank). I've tried entering 5px (just for test), 10, 20, 100... nothing changed :)

[ForumsMods]

First, you need to set Units (px) and put only numbers in Top, Right, Bottom and Left

[MonkYZ]

First, you need to set Units (px) and put only numbers in Top, Right, Bottom and Left
Of course i did that. As i said above, i've tried some px, em's but nothing changed. But it looks ok for me anyway (and i am big fan of override.css). I just wanted to post this issue that maybe some other users will meet in their ways.

P.S. It's a great mod, btw! :)

[S3Ponline]

I think instead of numbering off the usergroups that it should be a usergroup selectable option that way it works well with subscriptions so that we have a better chance of paying the amount.

Sure thing. Here it is. Btw, i'm using vB 4.1.3 (and i will not update because FCKEditor).

[sadiq6210]

Could I specify the number of letters but not the same of thread preview?

In thread preview it is 1000 letters (because it is ajax window)
but in pm preview I want it 200

Is it possible?

[ForumsMods]

I can not confirm this using 4.1.3 PL3. My mod does not add any from/to phrase.

Please paste the pm_messagelistbit template

Thanks Great Mod.:)

This works on 4.1.8. TY!

Although, is there an option where I can make the usernames stand-out? Either having the names in another color and/or bold?

Thanks in advance.

[datoneer]

Not working on 4.1.8, can you make it? Thanks

[datoneer]

Now it's working sorry. Great mod

[BlueCheri]

Very nice, useful.

Thanx

[hh.org]

In my forum, disabling Quick Navigation Menu (Options -> General Settings -> Use Quick Navigation Menu) also disables this addon. It's a bummer as I would really like to disable the useless and unused menu as it is merely a HTML generator. Anyone else noticed this? Has anyone found a workaround for this?

[M.C.]

would be nice to have it collapsed and when clicked to show message
