one way is to go to who's online and hover over the link with their name and look at the bottom of the browser. You will see an address something like:

h*tp://yoursite.com/forums/member.php?u=8

obviously u=8 is the user number. glad to help :D

thank you very much :D thats going to work out great :D

All that discussion going on about the privacy aspect of this ..

.. you realize you as admin have full access to all the email addresses your members provide to you? They are stored in plain text for example, and you can sell them to third party companies for a lot of money. Your members trust you not to do that, why?

Exactly.

hello floris

it's good hack... even the trust part is not allowing me to install it but if i need it i'll install it. i have one question is does it work in vb 3.0.5 or 3.0.6. i allready read the part in the info file that said "DISCLAIMER: This source code modification is written for
vBulletin version 3.0.0 beta 5 - it will (probably) not work on lower or higher versions." but since long time have bass mybe you did some changes to it.

please let me know and thank you in advance.

does this work on vb 3.0.6 ???

It's aseparate script from vB 3.0.6. so unless they changed the part of theDB that stores PM's, then Yes it will work for 3.0.6

I am currently useing it in vB 3.0.6 with no problems at all, I installed this hack cause a board I am on was hacked and through PMsearch they found who it was and when I was told who it was I found they was on my vB board as well, we was able to join forces and get the person and all the accounts they had hacked.

lol

Does it work on 3.0.7 also Floris?

This script will work with any version of vB 3.x so far. It is a separate script from vB itself, so it's independant from vB.

Owh, then I didn't read it wel I guess.

Sorry and thank you!

Follow these instructions to get it to work from the admincp.....

Is there any way to make it so you can see WHO a person sent a message to?

Wow...been a year and 2 months, where's the v3.0.7 one? =P

Well if you read back just 1 page, you will see that this version also work on vB3.0.7

Correct MarcoH64,
The hack works fine for me on version 3.0.7 as well.

(Great Hack by the way)

what about smiles??? this hack does not show the smiles of pms.

can you do it pls?

Why thats kind of a pointless feature isn't it?

O.k, I have officially ripped the hair out of the entire left side of my head (my right side is my good side and Im trying to save it if possible).

I have now read every page of this thread about 3x and Im still having issues (mind you the only hacks I have personally installed are Arcade Hacks) which means thus far Im useless, but I am trying and thank god for backing things up or I would be screwed.

With that said here's my issues.
I have installed:
Give it 2 uf 43's version pmview
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....1&postcount=59

When I follow the url path to that (instead of trying to add it into the control panel directly which Ill discuss below.

It continues to tell me:
You have to be a super administrator to moderate reported private messages, this can be set within config.php

I am running version 3.0.6 and I cannot find the config.php file in order to change it in hopes of not getting the message anymore.

So than I moved on to the next option I saw discussed which is adding it directly the the admin interface as opposed to running it outside of the admin area.

My biggest issue is simply the fact that Im an idiot, but regardless any help would be greatly appreciated. I can't for the life of me find or figure this part out:
now create a new phrase in "Control Panel User Management" as follows:
varname: view_users_pms
text: View Users PM's

Do I login to the actual Admin Control Panel to do this? Is it under the vbulletin options?? If so is it called something different?

I will say I would prefer to be able to simply view the last 200 PM's sent regardless of using a different login or whatever to do so as opposed to searching a specific user's pm's, the board is fairly large and has about 30+ employee's using the PM system so to manually search each one might be a real pain.

Thanks for reading my ramble, and anyone that can set someone straight that probably shouldnt be touching this stuff would be greatly appreciated :)

3.5 version
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=92815

I am sorry but I think this is a total invasion of privacy.

Whoever installed this really do not deserved to have a forum!!

yes being able to do this with 3 fewer clicks is so much MORE a privacy invation...

I have to agree with that 120%! I will never use the hack just to sit there and read private conversation between my users but when you have a new register who you see is online PMing people with 3 posts, you have to wonder what's being sent around by this unknown person.


I usually would go delete all sent and and incoming PM's just to be safe. But what if he was asking a innocent question? Who would ever know. Well this tool let's me answer that question ASAP. If the PM's are innocent, then no harm no foul. But if not, as the admin I think I have every write to handle the situation and take care of the sent PM's.


A very useful tool... thanks for putting this up.

i have installed it ;) thanks

i get a problem with the hacks.

it works fine, without the quotings.

everything inside the qoute tags is not displayed.
anybody with en idea for this ?

Hmmm, I added a user list to the front page, I was going to add pagination but I got lazy :-p

Thanks alot for the useful hack .. :)

Great hack, but one request. Is it possible to display who they sent a message to when viewing the sent items?? It would require deserializing the touserarray.

There are other hacks that do this.

Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array in /admincp/pm.php on line 61

How do I fix it? See my error as above.

Any plans to make this available for 3.5.x ?

It's the best looking one of this type of function and worked great in 3.0.x

Cheers.

this is already available for 3.5 go back 2 pages :) also its been said PLENTY of times before we need to see WHO they are sending the messages to. Also I tried the new PM file posted a page back and I get an error.

Floris released a vB3.5 version long time ago already. There are also 2 other 3.5 hacks that can do this.

I really liked this hack and would like to see it updated.If I knew how I would do it lol...

If you read just 1 post above yours, you will see that Floris already released the 3.5 version of this long time ago.

After the last vb upgrade I reinstalled it and it would not work.So I guess there must be something wrong on my end.Thanks.

This is the vB3.0 version, for the vB3.5 version see: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=92815

Can anyone please explain to me where exactly do I modify this ?? So i can view the text on the pull down menu.

This is a 3.0 hack, please try installing one of the 3 3.5 hacks available to read pm's.

does it work on 3.0.10 ? Thanx in advance :nervous:
