PM button in postbit
 

This is the new and improved version of the PM button in postbit modification found here.

What does it do?
Adds the PM button to the postbit of each user next to the edit button.
It does not show in your own postbit, as you don't really want to send yourself a PM - do you? :p

So what's new and improved about it?
It no longer shows in the private messages or to guests.

How to install
Download the text file and perform the enclosed template edit.

For those who want to know what it looks like, a screen shot is attached.

installed! seems to work, but 3.6 was just installed and i'll verify when a new user is added. It looks good in the preview. :)

Thanks!

thanks !

installed thanks

This is not working for me on 3.6.0, should it,. can it??

anyone?

There is no reason why it wouldn't work.

When you say it isn't working, in what respect do you mean?

nice, now to find someone to make a matching icon for the style :)

I have it coded into POSTBIT as you state for 3.6 but it does nothing, shows nothing. I was able to get it to work in 3.6rc1 but not this new 3.6. I do not see the code you say to look for in the postbit legacy.

It doesn't show in your own posts, so you need to look at someone elses posts to see it.

Also if you cannot find the entire code to find, just search for

I got it!

with the first line code:

didnt run by me, on vbulletin 3.6.

without the first line runs, like a charm.

thanks,
mike

Thanks for the 3.6 version! :)

Works like a charm.
Many thanks. :)

thanks

Installed works fine, thank you :)

Any chance to quote the post message into the PM?

Edit: Nevermind. I found this hack: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=115315

Installed. is good!

Installed, Great install thanks!!!

Nice Hack, Thank you

* clicks install *

doesn't work for me on 3.6.2 :surprised:

can somebody help ?

i entered this code

<if condition="$post[userid] != $bbuserinfo[userid] AND THIS_SCRIPT!='private'"><if condition="$show['pmlink'] AND $show[member]"><a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpm&amp;u=$post[userid]" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/sendpm.gif" alt="sendpm.gif" title="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[send_private_message_to_x]</phrase>" border="0" /></a></if></if>

Thanks
Dave

*click* installed. Thank you.

But now I'm left to wonder what this line of code that I don't have in my postbit_legacy or postbit templates is. I'm missing bits and pieces since I upgraded from 3.5.4 to 3.6.

Installed ...work on 3.6.2 and 3.5.4 .

Thanks .

Very nice hack thank you!!!
Installed 3.6.0 zero issues!!
Musiciansquarters.com

the code seems to have changed for 3.6.4

3.6.4 works correctly :P

Installed.

Is there any way to add another button (E-mail this page) on thread's 1st post in postbit template?

Thanks.

Great tweak. Thanks!

I'll see about that next time I'm in the style manager.

Yea it did to:

Regardless...there's only one <!-- controls --> piece in that particular template.

Added the code in the instructions under it.

Working with no issues. ;)

Thanks for sharing this code with us. :up:

Nice and simple, installed. :)

-Skip

I'm wondering why this is needed when there's a link to PM the person in their username drop-down?

Very Nice

It didnt work for me either. 3.6.4

Installed it in the postbit template and it doesnt appear in the post

I even deleted <if condition="$post[userid] != $bbuserinfo[userid] AND THIS_SCRIPT!='private'"></if> and still no go

I've only just upgraded to 3.6.4 last night, so any problems are going to be revisited over the coming days/weeks and updates issued where required.

In saying that though, there isn't any reason why this wouldn't work that I am aware of.

Thanks for the update, I had only updated the postbit section, added it to posbit legacy and sure enough it pops right up

K-Anne what are the code changes in your latest update?

i've installed this mod w/out any issues ... so what i do now?

Absolutely nothing. ;)

If there is to be an update it unknown yet, and if there is then I have no idea what it will be.

(Can you guess I haven't even thought about it yet?)

Hi Kerry-Anne,

I like the look of this hack however I seem to has missed the point I think re the template edit?

I have version 3.6.4 and the only place I can find <div align="$stylevar[right]"> is in postbit_quickedit which can not be right surely?

I have done a full search in templates as I could not find the code in postbit when looking direct.

Any light you could shine why I am not seeing this in the postbit or postbit legacy would be wonderful.

Funboy


Update and the word TYPICAL come to mind!!!!

Just made this post then found what I was looking for!

For anyone else trying to add this look for this if you have any form of styling running on your forum as the style="margin-top: 10px" cought me right out on this one.

O'well all sorted at last so I can now say thank for a nice hack and worked first time once I found the above problem. One for my book that one!!!

Thanks again,

Regards
Funboy

Works fine for me in 3.6.4.
