Please read 1 post above yours.

Hi Guys

If you go to the sent items box and read a PM it does not tell you who they sent it to anymore :(

***** sent at 1:25 on 19th October 2005

I am sure it used to say

***** sent at 1:25 on 19th October 2005 To *****

Can we have this added please ? :)

Floris, thanks for the great hack! I can confirm that it works with vB 3.5 with no probs what so ever!

Then last week, I did a full upgrade to vB 3.5.1 and worked perfectly afterwards. I thought that I might have had to do some slight post-upgrade tweaking, but it wasn't necessary.

Thanks again!

Joe

Can anyone tell me how to make the text appear on the pull down menu that suppose to say View users PM. Everything works it just appears blank.
I know you can edit this, but where exactly is it ??

AdminCP->Languages & Phrases->Phrase Manager->Add New Phrase

Help, is not working. I went exactly where you pointed. I`m entering as you can see on the attached pic. It saves it, but when I go back to my User manager and pull down the menu in any of my members, the text for View Users Pm still not showing, please advice.
Thanks

It says that only Super Moderators can use the admincp/pm.php?userid=x

- My account is an administrator -- how can that membertype use the feature?

when reading PMs in the 'sent' box, it says the sender is the person that recieved it, any way to show the 'actual sender'?

(I'm running version 3.5.3, if someone could point me in the right direction.)

Thanks

To add this to your User Edit Panel, do this:

1) add a new phrase in "Control Panel User Management" with the varname of "read_user_pm" and the text of "Read Users PMs"

2) Edit /admincp/user.php

Around line #285, find :

After this, add :

Smoge

Yes this would be useful...


- Joe

is there something like this for 3.6.8?

Here I found a code that allows to show the receiver in the "Sent" folder, but doesn't work in 3.6.* :(

Does this version work on 3.7.2 ?

I will soon publish a new version for supporting 3.7.3 PL1
It will have a few improvements, thanks to Andy and me working on it this Saturday night ;)

- We define a bypass, so other admins and users can't see you're on unknown location or the pm.php location. This way you can better hide it from public.

- A new control panel left navigation .xml file that will list it in the left menu. Of course, other admins will now be able to see you have this installed. I am still thinking about a solution. vB doesn't let you limit this to super admins only.

- The pm.php page without a userid will now list all the PM, (tnx beebi!!), it is paginated thankfully

- it works on 3.5 and 3.6 and 3.7 (though only 3.5 was tested in the past, and 3.7 today)

- it now lists FROM: and TO: so it's easier to see what msg was sent by whom, to who, and when.

- an input field on pm.php will now show at the top above all PM. Here you can enter a userid, so you can quickly jump to that user.


I tried to find the other PM for admins to read mods on vborg here, but could not find any. so if anybody has any feature suggestions please post them.

Upcoming changes will be to make this more 3.7-ish. So it will work on 3.8 too. And that it's a product you can upload and import. With version checker, text into phrases, an update license (including permission to translate for official distributors), and a few more changes.

I hope to hear from you all, so I can complete this mod and republish it for 3.7 to make everybody a happy bunny

hey Floris, i wish u success with ur 3.7.3 PL1 , it soundz pretty good, and most intresting bit is , its gona work with 3.7+ ..
* but only thing im concerned with , isnt it possible we leave "pm.php" like it used to be before in previous versions , rather adding it as a product in forum. or u got some better idea to hide it from admin and other mods whome u dont want to see this hidden feature of forum

cheerz

There's a tiny bug left, and then we have to discuss how to present it as a 3.7 release. but I have it working on a fresh install 3.7.3 PL1.

[edit] here are a few 'new' screenshots.

wow..exactly what I need

Please update us when you have this mod available. Just what I want. Thanks for all the awesome work.

The first post has pm17a1.php, download it, rename it to pm.php and upload it to your admincp/ folder, run as SUPER administrator directly in the browser.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/01/37.gif pm.php (just this file, is for vbulletin 3.5.x)
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/01/37.gif pm17a1.php (just this file, is for vbulletin 3.6 - 3.7 - rename before using)
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/01/5.gif product-readpm.xml (addon: for cpnav readpm for 3.7)
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/01/5.gif cpnav_readpm.xml (addon: adds left menu in the top for 3.7 to pm.php)

Note: this is version 1.7.alpha.1 for vBulletin 3.7.3 PL1 and meant for testing only.

Find a bug? Report it.
Find a security issue? Report it.

Alpha 2 or Beta 1 will be out early November when I hope to have time to work on a few things. Sorry for the delays - I really wish I knew that I would be this busy in October *grrrrrrr*

thanks

Small note: This product will probably not get updated for 3.8, since 3.8 beta 1 (released today) shows that you can report a private message. The purpose of this mod therefor is void. There won't be a need anymore to get a GUI to list the private msgs that are stored in plain text, to see if a user who's reporting someone manually, is telling the truth or not.

Very nice. Cheers.

I cant upload this product. Version 3.7.4 PL1

Can any help me?

If you have the read PM hack installed on your vbulletin board, is there a way to hide it from plugins and products etc; so that a administrator can't see you have the hack? Can super Administrators block admin. from seeing the read PM hack, IF you have given the administrators access to see the plugins and products etc. in your panel.

Thanks:) (hope this makes sense)

Is there any way a super admin. can hide the fact that they have the read PM hack on their board from just administrators, and is there a way that administrators can check to see if there is a read PM hack installed.

:whew:

Thanks

Dont really see how it is void as I would still like to read them and I run 3.8.

any similar product for 4.0?

dito!!!!

It's on our roadmap, but not short term.

We're planning on releasing a revamped product that works on both 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 4.0 and 4.1.
With a stand alone file for admins, as well as working properly integrated.

Despite the controversy, there is a high demand for this mod, and the wetalk.network at vbfans.com will be working on this during 2010 and at some point release a version as official WTN PM product.

Sorry that we have no ETA at this point. We're currently focussing on "WTN vBulletin Audit / Security Check",- and "WTN vBulletin User Report",- and "WTN vBulletin CleanCut Style for vBulletin 4" Products.

All in for 4.0

*push*
Look great, need it for 4.1.1 :)

waiting for 4.1 update mate....when wud it be released?

I have used this in the past but now waiting for a version 4

I am not sure why there is any privacy debate on this plugin as it is really a must for an admin to be aware of everything going on with the forums and as long as a disclaimer is posted in a privacy statement on the site, no issue, and it prevents the board from ever being used as a messaging system for illegal activities without the owner of the site being aware.

I can't wait for th 4.x.x version, I can fight trolling easy with it.

*push* I have trolls on my board, this users only register and spam users with stupid PNs. :(

Exactly! That's why I need this also! Hopefully there's an update soon!!

Please update this for 4x

It is very useful!

:up:

i need it for 4.2.0 please update it
