Thanks

Yes, the option will show up but give an insufficient priviledges if they try to use it, unless you have not given them the ability to administer users since this option shows up in the manage users submenu.

Works fine with 3.6.0
If you dont have permission to upload files to a folder on your host - contact your providor, there is something wrong.

Without the includes/xml file - you should still be able to use the system by goign to the direct URL of http://yourdomain.com/admincp/read_pms.php

Good point, I didn't think about that.

How would I change it so it changes back to the normal directory?

Any news as to when the above issue is going to be addressed, as well as the characters in the "To" field and finally the missing quoted text?.

Thanks - works great aside from those minor nuisances.

I added the following line to my include/config.php

Quote:

$config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators']['administrators'] = '1';

Even then it didn't work and after that i added myself to to the superadmin group, and still no luck.. any ideas?

It says I don't have permission. I added my username to config.php but I know a while back I accidentally deleted by admin acccount and had to get another created. Does that mean my userID number is not 1? How can I find out what my userID admin number is or can I just write in the username itself?

Help!

Add that ID number to the SuperAdministrators section of your vBulletin config.php.

Hi, i think there is a bug!:)
When I send a pm to a user, and then I go to read pms it shows it.
OK so far.
BUT, if the user, deletes the pm from his inbox, and then, i delete it also from my sent folder, it still shows it in read pms.
If i click on the link to see it i get a database error saying:

Code:

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.1:



Invalid SQL:

SELECT username FROM user WHERE userid =;



MySQL Error  : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1

Error Number : 1064

i suppose this is happening because the hack does not find that pm in the database.
any solutions?
thanks :D

The deleted PM will show in the latest PMs list until your forum runs Scheduled Task "Hourly Cleanup #2." That CRON job cleans up PMs, and by default it runs once per hour.

You can test this yourself by sending a PM to a user, having them delete it right away, and then checking the Read PMs list. Then go into your Admin CP -> Scheduled Tasks -> Scheduled Task Manager. Find Hourly Cleanup #2, and hit the Run Now button. Then go back to the Read PMs page and view the Latest PMs. The deleted PM should be gone from the list.

Hi,

I've uploaded "read_pms.php" to my admincp folder and "cpnav_rpm.xml" to my includes/xml folder but there is nothing in my control panel's users area.
Do I have to do something more to make it work?

vB 3.6.1

This is by far one of the most useful hacks to me. Thanks for making it.

Excellent hack, on my old board I discovered someone from a rival board trying to poach members so this hack will be great this time round and the Moderate PM's hack too

Great, I suspected one of my members was using the PM system to spam, I installed this, confirmed what I thought, and he is now the proud owner of a lifetime ban, thanks to this hack.

Thanks.

Edit- I use 3.6.2

I use 3.6.2 and it's not showing up anywhere. I installed everything right as well. Did you mean Super Moderators? Because there is no Super Administrator in 3.6.2, it seems. Maybe in 3.6.0 - I even went as far as to added and joined a new usergroup "Super Administators", in hopes of it just working and it didn't.

Maybe I just suck.

EDIT - It's working. I've been wanting one of these for years. Thanks. Great hack.

Waht is a "Super Administrator"? In my vB 3.6 there is only a Administrator group. In this group are 3 users, including me. But nobody except of me is able to see the "Read PMs" Link. I have the userid 1, but I don't think this is important.

Maybe anybody knows how to fix that problem?

Manually edit your config.php and there's a place to list the userids of those that you wish to be Super Admins.

Super Admin is the "god Account" usualy userid# 1

You can add more admins, by adding there userid to the "is super Admin" line in the config.php file.

I installed this, but didn't like a few things. I'm using 3.6.4, and I had the serialized "to" field issue. I also didn't like that I had to promote someone to superadministrator just to review private messages -- because that let them have authority over administrators, which I did not want.

In order to change the security check, I did this:

In \includes\config.php

Find:

Code:

    //    ****** SUPER ADMINISTRATORS ******

    //    The users specified below will have permission to access the administrator permissions

    //    page, which controls the permissions of other administrators

$config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'] = '1';

Below that, add:

Code:

        //        ****** PRIVATE MESSAGE ADMIN ******

        //        The users specified below will have permission to view all user PMs

$config['SpecialUsers']['privatemessageadmin'] = '1';

In \admin\read_pms.php

Find:

Code:

if (!in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'], preg_split('#\s*,\s*#s', $vbulletin->config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'], -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY)) ) {

Replace that with:

Code:

if (!in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'], preg_split('#\s*,\s*#s', $vbulletin->config['SpecialUsers']['privatemessageadmin'], -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY)) ) {

That takes care of the security issue -- now you can add user IDs to the privatemessageadmin variable, to give them permission to use Read PMs, but not give them full superadmin rights.

Next, to change the unserialization issue...

In \admin\read_pms.php

Find:

Code:

        //print_label_row('To', htmlspecialchars($pm['touserarray']));

        $to = is_array(unserialize($pm['touserarray'])) ? implode(", ", array_values(unserialize($pm['touserarray']))) : null;

        $to = ($to == 'Array') ? htmlspecialchars($pm['touserarray']) : $to;

        print_label_row('To' , $to);

Replace that with:

Code:

        $myarray = array_values(unserialize($pm['touserarray']));

        if (is_array($myarray[0])) print_label_row('To' , htmlspecialchars(implode(", ", array_values($myarray[0]))));

        if (is_array($myarray[1])) print_label_row('BCC' , htmlspecialchars(implode(", ", array_values($myarray[1]))));

And that takes care of the unserialization issue.

All of the above worked beautifully for me on 3.6.4... your mileage may vary.

Hm i am not able to install this thing. Tried it via fileupload as well as putting it to ./includes/xml/cpnav_rpm.xml

Always same error message:
File invalid
(Datei ung?ltig)

cpnav_rpm.xml file content:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>



<navgroups product="vbulletin">



        <navgroup phrase="users" permissions="canadminusers" displayorder="110">



                <navoption displayorder="130">

                        <text>Read PMs</text>

                        <link>read_pms.php</link>

                </navoption>



        </navgroup>



</navgroups>

I am using 3.6.4 with CMPS and some other hacks.

EDIT:
workaround if any other has this problem (i think it depends because displayorder 130 is alreay used with another menu or something)

OPEN: ./includes/xml/cpnav_vbulletin.xml

FIND:
<navoption displayorder="120">
<phrase>access_masks</phrase>
<link>accessmask.php?do=modify</link>
</navoption>

AFTER ADD:
<navoption displayorder="121">
<text>Read PMs</text>
<link>read_pms.php</link>
</navoption>

This will add the Menu in the Users Admin menu by Hand.

Im SO glad I found this mod. I have a serious case of people signing up just to spam our PM's.

Really is it not a shame to you? To read personal messages of users, this disrespect for them. On that they Personal!
