OK, I wrote this hack seeing as my users were nagging about it and I could not find one here (if there is one, I apologise - please give me the URL).

This works exactly like post preview:

How to install:

Open private.php

1) First we need to move "newmessage" after "dosend". Highlight the entire section between:

Code:

// ############################### start new message ###############################

Until (but not including):

Code:

// ############################### start send message ###############################

Cut this entire section (a total of 83 lines in 2.2.1) and paste it right above:

Code:

// ############################### start do stuff (move, etc) ###############################

2) Now we need to insert the following code:

a) Find:

Code:

$savecopy=iif($savecopy=="yes",1,0);

Right under it insert:

Code:



    // preview hack

    $pmreceipt=iif($pmreceipt=="yes",1,0);

    // preview hack

b) Find:

Code:

if ($pmquota>0 and $touserinfo[usergroupid] != 6 and $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != 6) {

Right above it insert:

Code:



    // preview hack

    if ($preview) {

        $previewpost=1;

        $previewmessage=bbcodeparse($message,0,$allowsmilie);



        if ($signature) {

            $post['signature'] = bbcodeparse($bbuserinfo['signature'],0,$allowsmilie);

            eval("\$post[signature] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_signature")."\";");

            $previewmessage.=$post['signature'];

        }



        eval("\$postpreview=\"".gettemplate("priv_sendpreview")."\";");



        $parseurlchecked=iif($parseurl,"checked","");

        $pmreceiptchecked=iif($pmreceipt,"checked","");

        $savecopychecked=iif($savecopy,"checked","");

        $signaturechecked=iif($signature,"checked","");

        $previewchecked=0;

        

        $title = htmlspecialchars($title);

        

        $privatemessageid = $prevmessageid;

        $forward;                

        $subject = $title;

        $privmessage = $message;

        $action="newmessage";

    } else {

    // preview hack

c) Find:

Code:

} #end dosend

Right above it insert:

Code:



    } // preview hack

d) Find:

Code:

//show new message form

Right under it insert:

Code:



    // preview hack

    if (!$pagetext) {

        // parse message for html if previewing

        $message = htmlspecialchars($message); // Without this, a </textarea> in the message breaks the form on preview

    }

    // preview hack

e) Find:

Code:

    if ($bbuserinfo[userid]!=0 and !$previewpost and $bbuserinfo[signature]!="") {

        $signaturechecked="CHECKED";

    }

Right under it insert:

Code:



    // preview hack

    if (!isset($parseurl)) {

        $parseurlchecked="CHECKED";

    }



    if (!isset($savecopy)) {

        $savecopychecked="CHECKED";

    }

    

    if (!isset($pmreceipt)) {   

        $pmreceiptchecked="CHECKED";

    }

    // preview hack

f) Find:

Code:

    // /enhanced

    eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("priv_sendprivmsg")."\");");

Right above it insert:

Code:



    // preview hack

    if (!isset($privmessage)) {

        $privmessage = $message[message];

    }

    // preview hack

g) Find:

Code:

    // enhanced

   $receipt=iif($pmreceipt=="yes",1,0);

   // /enhanced

And replace it with (the code to remove is marked in red):

Code:

    // enhanced

   $receipt=iif($pmreceipt,1,0);

   // /enhanced

Save private.php and upload to server.

In the Administration control panel -> Templates

1) ADD template priv_sendpreview and insert to it:

Code:



    <br>



    <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="#555576"  width="100%" align="center"><tr><td>

    <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0"  width="100%">

    <tr>

        <td bgcolor="#8080A6"><smallfont color="#EEEEFF"><b>Message Preview:</b></smallfont></td>

    </tr>

    <tr>

        <td bgcolor="#F1F1F1"><normalfont>$previewmessage</normalfont></td>

    </tr>

    </table>

    </td></tr></table>

(you may edit this to your liking).

2) Open template priv_sendprivmsg

a) place $postpreview where you want the message preview to appear (normally would be under $cpnav).

b) Find:

Code:

<textarea name="message" rows="20" cols="$textareacols" wrap="virtual" tabindex="3">$message[message]</textarea>
