[Sleepyk]

perfect i been looking for something like this sense vb 2 lol

[Brinnie]

I've noticed that using the 'previous pm' and 'next pm' buttons under the actual pm don't work. When you hit the "next pm" it takes you to the very last pm in your inbox rather than the "next" pm.

Anyone else notice this?

[Andreas]

It takes you to the next/previous PM in the same Folder, at least that is what it should do.

[Brinnie]

« Previous PM works.
Next PM » takes me to the most recent PM.

[Andreas]

Doh! Should be fixed now.

[Boofo]

I would re-check the readme file in there. It looks like a converstion between you and someone else. ;)

[Andreas]

WTF ... that was a post from vB.com
Wonder how this made it into the readme

[Boofo]

With you, Kirby, I have learned to expect the unexpected. ;)

[Andreas]

LOL ;)
Anyway, the correct File should be in the ZIP now again.

[Boofo]

It is. ;)

The readme hasn't changed any of its content, right? Just the product (1 byte difference). ;)

[Andreas]

Exactly. It was just a DESC where it should have been ASC :)

[Boofo]

All that grief for one byte. Seems almost a waste to upgrade it, huh? LOL

[Andreas]

Well, you could also just edit the Plugin and change the 2nd DESC to ASC :)

[Boofo]

Well, I rather enjoyed the first readme you sent with it. I look forward to your upgrades now. ;)

[Andreas]

I'm gonna try to stick some private eMails into the next one ;)

[Boofo]

I will definately be looking forward to that. ;)

[FleaBag]

Just installed on my Beta 2, loving it! Thanks Kirb. :)

[Cyricx]

Love this Kirby! Thanks :)

I wonder if it would be possible to do something similar to what Amy did for thread titles in this hack -

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=92407

Into your hack so that it displayed the PM's title instead of the previous/next text :)

* Cyricx clicks install

[akanevsky]

Thanks, this is a nice hack.

[Oblivion Knight]

Just a friendly reminder to update the product for RC3 onwards.. ;)

The plugin currently isn't attached to the product.

[Andreas]

Just a friendly reminder to update the product for RC3 onwards.. ;)

The plugin currently isn't attached to the product.
Hmm, there is just 1 Plugin, which is in the Product XML and therefore surely attached to the product?

[Sooner95]

2ez, installed.. thx bud

[Oblivion Knight]

Hmm, there is just 1 Plugin, which is in the Product XML and therefore surely attached to the product?I was under the impression that for every plugin, cpnav or phrase we should put product="<productid>"?

It's what I've been doing anyway.! Perhaps I'm mistaken.. :nervous:

[Andreas]

In product XMLs there won't be a product parameter, as those plugins automatically belong to the product :)

[cbr929rrerion]

I also added it to the top so you dont have to scroll to the bottom. They have the choice to hit next/previous at the top of the message or bottom..

just find..

// -->
</script>
</if>

and paste:

<div class="smallfont" align="center">
<strong>&laquo;</strong>
<a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=showpm&amp;pmid=$pm[pmid]&amp;goto=nextoldest">$vbphrase[previous_pm]</a>
|
<a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=showpm&amp;pmid=$pm[pmid]&amp;goto=nextnewest">$vbphrase[next_pm]</a>
<strong>&raquo;</strong>
</div><br />

Works awesome

[FleaBag]

Works (as expected) with 3.6 also. Another gem hidden away in the obscurity of ancient threads. Please add this to the main vB code if you can Andreas. :)

[crazycajun]

Thank for the mod, it works great!

[codershark]

dont works at vb3.7 :(

[Jase2]

Working on an update. Will need permission from Andreas before I can release it, though.

[Boofo]

There is no need for an update as this works fine as it is on 3.7.

[codershark]

hmm I dont see the links :(

[Andreas]

@codershark
I haven't tested it on 3.7, but I see no reason why it should not work.
You do realize that you have to edit the template manually?

[Boofo]

As I said above, I'm using it on 3.7 fine. ;)

[Jase2]

Ok, Boofo -- you made your point and it was quite clear ;)

[Boofo]

Are you sure? I can state it again for clarity. ;)

[Boards.ie]

Added the the manual template edit into the product. May as well save others the hassle. Works for 3.6.x and 3.7.x to the best of my knowledge.

@Andreas: hope you don't mind me posting it.

Edit: no prob, removed

[Andreas]

@Boards.ie
Please remove the file ASAP.
I do not want any template cache tampering in my releases - it costs performance and causes a lot of problems.
Thank you.

[Boards.ie]

I'd be interested in knowing what performance and "other" problems there are with template caching, maybe you could direct me to an article on it?

[Andreas]

Performance -> unnecessary str_replace() call on every page
Other Problems -> Unrecoverable, fatal PHP errors if you use custom Template Caches, eg. the board becomes unusable if any plugin tampers the template cache.

[Eq4bits]

Does this mod work with , or has it been ported to work with, vB3.7x?

[Andreas]

Yes. No.

You can find here (http://vbulletin-germany.org/showthread.php?t=6110) a new version which is using ajax to get the pm text.

ATM it's just in german available, but you can find also a english installinstruction in the archiv.

If everything is working fine, i'll release it on vb.org soon.

[furnival]

Andreas, Is there any way you could make http://www.vbulletin-germany.org/showthread.php?6110-next-prev-AJAX-PM/ available here please? I tried to register at VB Germany but my account was never approved.
