Does this work with multiple styles? Because I just installed it, didn't see anything, installed again, checked again and I'm not seeing any forms to fill in on edit post page or reply... :(

@Tim Wheatley: Check for updates in the first post.

Anyway, I just checked all files again, everything is according to the hack file. Still the same problem Jashugan has. We need help, fast.

alright im curreltly looking into it...

sorry for the trouble x_X

Did you config the usergroups yet? because i believe that they all come in as no for being able to add and view... so you have to adjust those options in admin cp first ;)

g-force2k2

All I have in the admin cp that I didn't have before is the char limit - 500? I don't have an option to set usergroups. Yes I did run all the queries. I just tried to run them again to be sure and they told me I already has them (duplicates).

Btw, when I use usergroups.php to allow a usergroup to add private texts it does work, but when I visit the page again, it still shows "No".

The most important problem is that everyone can see those private texts, though. ;)

well in the usergroup options did you make sure that you disabled them to see all private text messages? and also for the problem with the usergroup.php the fix is in the new zip and on the first post... you have to replace cannaddprivtxt to canaddprivtxt (i think) hope that helps somewhat?

g-force2k2

Tim the usergroup configs can only be done in the usergroup.php

edit the usergroups and you'll find the options there... hope that helps :)

g-force2k2

It does indeed. Unfortunately, in the first posting of this thread you order us to replace can with cann, not cann with can. ;)

err... maybe it was just worded wrong ;\ because its correct on the first page ;)

g-force2k2

Well, I give up. Doesn't work either way.

Gonna uninstall this hack now & wait for a cleaned up and *working* version.

umm... its working O_o

the screenshots show its working... my forum shows its working...

i can only give so much support... but it might have something to do with other hacks you have installed...

what others do you have?

g-force2k2

Nope, it's not. I log out, I can see all private messages. "Can view all private text messages" for usergroup "Unregistered / Not Logged In" is set to no. According to my database, "canaddprivtxt" is set to 1 for all usergroups I'm interested in, yet usergroup.php shows no. "canviewprivtxt" is set to 0 for all usergroups but 6 ("Administrators"), yet a guest can see all private texts. I just rechecked all file changes again. I'm going crazy. ;)

I have installed Post Counter & Direct Link (change to showthread.php - probably significant?), NewStatistikHack 1.2.1e (change to newreply.php, among others). There are others, but none of them touches any of the files or tables I had to modify for your hack.

okay Sho im really really sorry ;\ i just overlook such easy things... last fix i promise... just make these two edits...

open showthread.php

find:

and replace that with:

it appears twice... and i swear... no joking it'll work :)

g-force2k2

Gonna try it, hold on

I'm sorry g-force2k2, but still ... log in as A, attach a private text to B to a reply, log out, visit the thread as a guest ... and there is the private text to B. Doesn't work. :(

Sho email me your showthread.php and i will debug if for you and send it back aight?

g-force2k2

No, this time it was my fault! Forgot to delete those "!" in front of "$getperms", just looked at the 0/1 difference. I guess we both overlook the easy things. ;)

Seems to work now!

:D thats great to hear Sho ^^ sorry for all the trouble... but if its working then thats the best thing i could ask for :)

g-force2k2

Tested it with a few members and across all usergroups, works great now. Thanks!

Thanks G-force for hard work and fix it up :)

[high]* Jashugan install![/high]

Doesn't work here.

Firstly, whenever I change permissions I do so, go back to check and they've gone back to the original (off) setting.

Even when I do click on then don't go back in, I (admin) can view all of them (as I should), so can the person I send it to (as he should), but unfortunately when each of us logs out of the board we can still read it... :(

Tim there's two changes that you need to make...

A)

open admin/usergroup.php

find:

it should be:

B)

open showthread.php

find:

should find it twice and replace them both with:


I await to hear good news from you too Tim :)

g-force2k2

@Tim Wheatley:

First open your modified usergroup.php.

Replace

with

---

Now, open your modified showthread.php. When you first modified it, you inserted the following two times:

Replace both with:

Now everything should work.

@Boofo: See step 3 and step 6 for showthread.php in your install_privatetext.php.

Thanks. I just found that about 2 seconds after I posted the message that I just deleted. :)

my posts though the quick reply keep timing out x_X then i saw that Boofo's post disappeared so i guess it doesn't matter now xD

g-force2k2

Happens. ;)

Sorry about that. I erased it after I found the second instance of code. It was formatted different in my showthread.php so I had to search for a single line. I felt kind-of stupid and thought I could erase it before anyone caught it. :)

My ISP has been down since about 1/3 into this hack. I had just uploaded the newreply (before the added change which I have to do when I can get the site back online) and just got done with the showthread.php and was uploading it when the site went down. Now, I have made the changes to it and am just waiting for the site to come back up so I can finish the hack. I'm in a holding pattern, I guess you could say. :)

g-force2k2, I may need your assistance when I finish this in case I got something wrong in the middle of all of this. Having a site go down in the middle of a hack can be quite frustrating, especially when there are changes made during that time. :)

it's really confusing, please update your install file with all the fixes :)

and Thanks for your great work !!

Schorsch

yes Schorsch the file has been updated... only changes are there for the hackers who downloaded it beforehand...

g-force2k2

Great hack g-force2k2, I think I might use it...it could be very useful.

your file (I downloaded it 2 mins ago) is not completely bug free, for example in your install file it is still:

// +++++++ Private Text Hack [ g-force2k2 ] +++++++
if($permssions[canaddprivtxt]) {

instead of permissions

cu
Schorsch

oh okay schorsch thanks for telling me i will update... but im pretty sure the rest is good then... my bad my bad ;)

g-force2k2

thats wierd >_O i changed it like five times and it doesn't change i even deleted it and reattached it O_<...

well i will reattach here...

g-force2k2

it would be cool if you had a user validation part to it.

User Validation?

you mean like check to see if the user exists ;) because it does have that feature :p

g-force2k2

ok, what about this:

me as admin can edit my private message text, but all my registered useres and mods can't edit their priv. message text. they simply don't see the priv. message box under the post when they wanna edit the post.

also if they edit their post, the priv. message text is gone after that.

what's wrong ?

thanks,
Schorsch

Another spelling error is on Line 33 of Showthread.php :

Replace with

I'm currently trying to get the Private Text box to work...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Newreply.php (Line 3):
