Watson,

Once you have installed this mod, you need to set someone up to be able to use it in the admincp. Then, assuming you made the template edit, when they click on Send Private Message they will have a link in the upper right corner to send a super private message. If you look at the screen shots at the link two posts up it will probably help, sorry I didn't include those originally.

Done it all, but the super PM bit aint coming up mate :(

Did you select yes to at least one of the options in the admincp, show usergroups, send as other etc.? If you didn't it won't show up, even if you selected certain usergroups. Does this help? Let me know.

Edit: I ask this because this is what the template uses to decide if they have access to the super PM if none of the options are clicked (or the spmoptions = 0 then it won't show up.

nope still don't show up mate. Ever tried a complete reinstall and added myself again with all options :(

Watson,

What happens if you just go to yoursite.com/forum/superpm.php. Does it take you to the page and allow you to see it?

ok, well all my icons changed, my header image changed, i cant pm anymore..errr forgot to make backup

What do you mean you can't PM anymore, and all your icons changed, I am sorry, but I don't know why or how this would happen, so if I could get a little more information that would be helpful! Thanks and I will do what I can to help:)

Yes mate, I can view it all via that, just seems to be the template thats not showing up :(

Also, I have around 10,000 memebrs, and when I try and send it to all of them, that page times out. Dunno if its cause I am accessing the superpm.php directly

Watson

When you send a private message normally you should see just what you see when in the first screen shot. That is, in the right top corner of the box you should see a link to "Send Super Private Message", and that should take you to the superpm.php page. If that isn't there, maybe post the part of the pm_newpm template, a little before and a little after where you edited it and I will see if I can help.

The page shouldn't time out, so I would like to know what it happening, when you say the page times out, is this once you have submited the message or before that? I know that with that many members that there could be a problem, and I am working on a way to fix that, hopefully in the next week I will have that done, but I would like to know what I need to do to make it work better, especially for those with large boards. Thanks for your help :)

This hack is awesome and extremely useful, running great on vB 3.5.1! It also plays nicely with another mod I have installed called: Advanced PM Options

QUESTION:

- Let's say I create a user in 'Super PM' and I choose as their only group 'Registered Users'.

- When I go into the user's 'UserCP' >> Send New Message >> Send New Private Message, I see the following:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Usergroups

[ ] All Usergroups
[ ] Registered Users

...If/when they click on 'All Usergroups', is that for literally all of the user groups in the forums, or all of ther usergroups that are listed for them only? Which in this case would mean only the one 'Registered Users' usergroup?

Just curious, I plan on only using this for my Admins, but just in case I want to open this up for our mods, I want to be sure.

Thanks again for the awesome hack!

Joe
