Here is the version with cache put in. Without having your templates cached you were creating an extra 2 queries on the database. I also did the cache properlly so it only puts it into the cache when the template is shown.

Also note your mod shows up the users PM's and $post[username] does not work in private messages.

That makes 2 people that have that issue, out of 40 installs so far. I can't duplicate that problem with 3 different forum setups (1 default testbed, 1 live setup, and someone else's live setup).

[EDIT]

Oookkk.... for whatever reason, the bug is now showing up on my testbed's PM system. Maybe 3.7.1 caused it? Doesn't make any sense. Anyway, I'm working on a fix.

Aannndd.... it's stopped showing up in PMs by itself... oookkk...

Ok, I just set up a BRAND NEW test bed, and the dropdown does NOT show up in the PMs.

3.0.1 will be up tonight w/ the cache plugin provided by ssslippy, without the template cache for PMs, as I cannot duplicate this problem in a clean test bed. I'm gonna throw in another surprise as well :)

man! I'm sorry it's happening to others now, but I'm very happy to know that it's NOT just me...lol

Thanks for all of your work Wired! This mod should be standard on vbulletin...or at least they should make it standard and pay you lots of money for the rights.

:D

No problemo. Been busy ATM, so I appreciate ssslippy making a solution for the cached templates. Easier than I thought actually. v3.0.1 is now up, which also contains a possible fix for the PM issue.

to answer your question...I wouldn't mind the drop down in the PM template....but it's not a necessity.

Thanks again!

What was the fix applied to the PM issue? Does this require a template change?

Only some plugin code was changed. I take it you're wondering about the Manual template? No worries, I didn't change the version # on it, so it doesn't override the existing one. Didn't know that for sure actually until I installed it on my live site :)

Im not worried about it overwriting, what Im wondering is what code changes I need to make to my customized template to make it work.

If you check at the top, it does not list that this mod has manual template changes.

Well, if you want you can use the manual dropdown, but it's a template from me, not from Jelsoft, so it won't affect anything you already have set up.
