LAM - PM Security Notice

1 Attachment(s)

This product displays a small banner above private messages from certain user groups to inform the user if they are reading a PM from a trusted user group or not.

Installation

Download and uncompress the attached .zip file
LAM_PMSecurityNotice.zip
Upload the images
Copy the contents of the upload folder onto your web server
Note: If you use a custom style you may need to copy/move the images into your style's misc image folder
Install the product
AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Add/Import Product -> Import Product

Configuration

This product supports three different messages;

Verified - This is used on my site to show that a PM has come from a moderator, a super moderator or an administrator, and therefore its contents can be trusted.

Authorised - This is used on my site to show a PM has come from an authorised trader - someone who has paid to trade on my site.

Untrusted - And as I get a lot of people who just create accounts to try and sell junk via the PM system, this one I use to show a PM has come from an newbie account.

All of the above are triggered by the PM senders group ID, and these are controlled by the following options;

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...1&d=1286977955

You can simply change the settings above to suit your needs. If a particular banner isn't wanted then leave the setting blank. This product is fully phrased so you can change any of the messages as needed.

Example

Here are some examples of each of the banners. The verified banner;

The authorised banner;

I just noticed that the icons are not showing up. I have uploaded the images to my 'images/misc' directory. Should they have been put in a different location?

Update; I got it, moved the images to my style misc directory.

Thanks for the update. I've added a note to the installation instructions regarding custom templates.

I'm running vb-4.0.7

My sites only on 4.0.6 so I haven't tested 4.0.7 yet, but I am planning on upgrading in the next couple of weeks. I really can't see that being the problem though. :confused:

Do either of you run custom templates? If so could you try creating a default vB template and seeing if that works OK. Or do either of you run any other PM enhancement plugins?

Either way I will get to the bottom of this! Just please bear with me whilst I get my site up to 4.0.7 first - unless either of you are willing to PM me login details for your site so I can take a look?

10-16-2010 07:50 AM

Yeah

I'm using the Underground theme from CompleteVB i do NOT recommend them, nice themes, crap technical support.

I am also using these two which i believe are both PM related

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=243405

But i am quite happy to let you have a play around in my site if you think you can crack it

Thanks

Thanks both. :)

I think the best plan at the moment is for me to upgrade to 4.0.7 as that seems to be the most plausible common factor here. I'll then check out modpm if I still can't identify the problem. If all else fails, LordVader, I'll take you up on your offer to investigate it on your site. :up:

Hiya Mawby

No great rush, but it does look like a sweet upgrade & i know my mod's will get a kick out of being all official ... LOL

Looking forward to seeing it in action & thanks for taking the time to try & help.

And feel free to call me ( Will ) :)

Thanks

Try this and see if it fixes your problem.

Replace your LAM - PM Security Notice --> postbit_display_complete plugin code with the one below.

Code:

global $vbulletin;

if (THIS_SCRIPT=='private') {

        $LAM_PMSecurityNotice_IDs = explode(',', $vbulletin->options['LAM_PMSecurityNotice_Verified']);

        if (in_array($post[usergroupid], $LAM_PMSecurityNotice_IDs)) {

                $templater = vB_Template::create('LAM_PMSecurityNotice');

                $templater->register('LAM_PMSecurityNotice_Icon', "LAM_PMSecurityNotice_Verified.gif");

                $templater->register('LAM_PMSecurityNotice_AltText', $vbphrase['LAM_PMSecurityNotice_Verified_AltText']);

                $templater->register('LAM_PMSecurityNotice_Title', $vbphrase['LAM_PMSecurityNotice_Verified_Title']);

                $templater->register('LAM_PMSecurityNotice_Details', $vbphrase['LAM_PMSecurityNotice_Verified_Details']);

                $templater->register('LAM_PMSecurityNotice_TitleColour', "#339900");

                $template_hook[postbit_start] .= $templater->render();

        }



        $LAM_PMSecurityNotice_IDs = explode(',', $vbulletin->options['LAM_PMSecurityNotice_Authorised']);

        if (in_array($post[usergroupid], $LAM_PMSecurityNotice_IDs)) {

                $templater = vB_Template::create('LAM_PMSecurityNotice');

                $templater->register('LAM_PMSecurityNotice_Icon', "LAM_PMSecurityNotice_Authorised.gif");

                $templater->register('LAM_PMSecurityNotice_AltText', $vbphrase['LAM_PMSecurityNotice_Authorised_AltText']);

                $templater->register('LAM_PMSecurityNotice_Title', $vbphrase['LAM_PMSecurityNotice_Authorised_Title']);

                $templater->register('LAM_PMSecurityNotice_Details', $vbphrase['LAM_PMSecurityNotice_Authorised_Details']);

                $templater->register('LAM_PMSecurityNotice_TitleColour', "#339900");

                $template_hook[postbit_start] .= $templater->render();

        }



        $LAM_PMSecurityNotice_IDs = explode(',', $vbulletin->options['LAM_PMSecurityNotice_Untrusted']);

        if (in_array($post[usergroupid], $LAM_PMSecurityNotice_IDs)) {

                $templater = vB_Template::create('LAM_PMSecurityNotice');

                $templater->register('LAM_PMSecurityNotice_Icon', "LAM_PMSecurityNotice_Untrusted.gif");

                $templater->register('LAM_PMSecurityNotice_AltText', $vbphrase['LAM_PMSecurityNotice_Untrusted_AltText']);

                $templater->register('LAM_PMSecurityNotice_Title', $vbphrase['LAM_PMSecurityNotice_Untrusted_Title']);

                $templater->register('LAM_PMSecurityNotice_Details', $vbphrase['LAM_PMSecurityNotice_Untrusted_Details']);

                $templater->register('LAM_PMSecurityNotice_TitleColour', "#993300");

                $template_hook[postbit_start] .= $templater->render();

        }

}

Also vb4.0.7 fixed

Hi,

It works...

But now (maybe feature request): How can I change it so that it looks a little bit more like this (ps, that site is running on vb3.X):

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...1&d=1313030992

I was able to add something between official & staff... But on the site I saw that, there is that part in bold...
And also like you can see there is a little bit more text...

So how to:
* add Bold text + Maybe how to change the color of that text
* add more text to it (like that red text)

Is there a possibility to make it so that those things are also added in the "LAM - PM Security Notice" Setting Group?
Just asking...
And if this could be done,
that would be very great!

Friendly greetings,
Valcav

Hi,

This product uses templates and phrases to allow it to be easily customised. If you want to add bold text to the verified message then edit the phrase LAM_PMSecurityNotice_Verified_Details and add the bold text here HTML formatting tags to the message. Similarly, can be used to add multiple lines, and can be used to change the colour of the text.

For example;

HTML Code:

This <b>bold message</b> was sent by an official staff member. Its contents can be trusted.</br>This new line uses the <font color="red">red</font> coloured text.

If you want to edit any other phrases simple search for phrase variable names beginning with LAM_PMSecurityNotice and you'll find them easily enough.

thank you very much for this answer!!!

to add a few things (I hope):
Italic

1 more question,
if it's possible (or how to/where) to have "Verified" , "Authorised" , "Untrusted" bigger

I would love to use this but I need another option before I can use it.
Is it possible somehow to have this only visible to certain usergroups.
I am using it to tell members 'warning this pm is from a public usergroup, the contents cannot be trusted' , or whatever it is.
I dont want the public members to see that message when they PM each other, because it looks like im being a bit rude about them LOL :p.

So any way to show it only for certain usergroups? That would be awesome.
