recently added admin can read pms but help me plz
 

We recently added this hack https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...t=read+user+pm
but we cant read them via admin cp we have to use a link
http://www.oh-twadi.com/forum/admincp/pm.php?userid=1
and u have to change the number at the end to wateva user u want to see
is there a better hack? or a way u can make it so u can go to admincp and see them there and also not have to change the url manualy?
plz help

change the number to a name and try that, but this doesn't really belong in the mod request area.

Try this...

what will that do?

It will put an option to read a user's PMs into the admincp edit member page, for greater convenience.

ok thanx
so i need to do what it says and then i shud be able to read them in admin cp?

Yep, then you should be able to read them from admin CP without having to type in the link.

where will i see thme at now?
where can iaccess them at? cannot seem to find them

if you added that code above, then it will be in the drop down menu when you view a user from the admn Panel.

does not appear to be there
what will it say

If you added the phrase like the instructions said, it should say
Read Private Messages
In the drop down at the top of the edit user page.

ok i will check

unless he didn't add the global phrase.

what global phrase?

here is what the modifed code looks like

$quicklinks = array_merge(
$quicklinks,
array(
"user.php?$session[sessionurl]do=emailpassword&email=" . urlencode(unhtmlspecialchars($user['email']))
=> $vbphrase['email_password_reminder_to_user'],
"../private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpm&userid=$userid"
=> $vbphrase['send_private_message_to_user'],
"usertools.php?$session[sessionurl]do=pmfolderstats&userid=$userid"
=> $vbphrase['private_message_statistics'],
"usertools.php?$session[sessionurl]do=removepms&userid=$userid"
=> $vbphrase['delete_all_users_private_messages'],
"usertools.php?$session[sessionurl]do=removesentpms&userid=$userid"
=> $vbphrase['delete_private_messages_sent_by_user'],
"usertools.php?$session[sessionurl]do=removesubs&userid=$userid"
=> $vbphrase['delete_subscriptions'],
"usertools.php?$session[sessionurl]do=doips&userid=$userid"
=> $vbphrase['view_ip_addresses'],
"../member.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getinfo&userid=$userid"
=> $vbphrase['view_profile'],
"../search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=finduser&userid=$userid"
=> $vbphrase['find_posts_by_user'],
"../$modcpdir/banning.php?$session[sessionurl]do=banuser&userid=$userid"
=> $vbphrase['ban_user'],
"user.php?$session[sessionurl]do=remove&userid=$userid"
=> $vbphrase['delete_user'],
"pm.php?$session[sessionurl]userid=$userid"
=> $vbphrase['read_pm_user'],
)
);

if (intval($user['adminpermissions']) & CANCONTROLPANEL AND in_array($bbuserinfo['userid'], preg_split('#\s*,\s*#s', $superadministrators, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY)))
{
$quicklinks["adminpermissions.php?$session[sessionurl]do=edit&userid=$userid"] = $vbphrase['edit_administrator_permissions'];
}

$userfield = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "userfield WHERE userid = $userid");

If you look at the bottom of the instructions above, it says the following
and you need to add your code above in tag's to prevent unlicensed users from reading it.

thats the code?

could u send me what the code should look like

so what you want to do now is in the Laguages & Phrases section, click on Phrase manager, then Click add new phrase, then in the drop down box you want to select control panel global, varname will be read_pm_user, and the test will be Read Private Messages or whatever you'd like to call the variable.

ok i wil ltry

you asked, so the code after you make the file edit in admincp/user.php should look like this.

note that nothing will show up untill you add the Control Panel Global Phrase.

ok let me just forward this to my admin see if he got it

thanx everyone ive now done it
big thanx to you all sorry for being a pest

No big deal, thats what this forum is here for.

hope everything works out.

so far so good with it. im stuck on the rules of how to use the mailing list
