PM Preview 3.5 Edition

This is a 3.5 Rewrite of my old hack, now using the plugin system (woo hoo!)

install the attached plugin and then make the following modification to the pm_messagelistbit template.

find:

Code:

        <td class="alt1Active" id="m$pm[pmid]" width="100%">

                <div>

                        <span style="float:$stylevar[right]" class="smallfont">$pm[senddate]</span>

                        <a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=showpm&amp;pmid=$pm[pmid]"><if condition="$show['unread']"><strong>$pm[title]</strong><else />$pm[title]</if></a>

                </div>

                <div class="smallfont">

                        <span style="float:$stylevar[right]" class="time">$pm[sendtime]</span>

                        <if condition="$show['unread']"><strong>$userbit</strong><else />$userbit</if>

                </div>

        

        </td>

replace with:

Code:

        <td class="alt1Active" id="m$pm[pmid]" width="100%">

                <div>

                        <span style="float:$stylevar[right]" class="time" style="font-size:9px;">$pm[senddate] @ $pm[sendtime]</span>

                        <a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=showpm&amp;pmid=$pm[pmid]"><if condition="$show['unread']"><strong>$pm[title]</strong><else />$pm[title]</if></a> (<if condition="$show['unread']"><strong>$userbit</strong><else />$userbit</if> )

                </div>

                <div class="smallfont">

                <i>$pm[pmpreview]</i>        

                </div>

        

        </td>

Extras

To change the length of the preview
Goto the Plugin Manager and in Hook Location : private_messagelist_messagebit find PM Preview v1 click "Edit" and towards the end of it find 300 and increase/reduce the value to lengthen/shorten the preview.

ALTERNATIVE VERSION: Thanks to Erwin for the suggestion
If you would rather have the preview show in a tooltip rather than show it below the PM title then change the required code in pm_messagelistbit to:

alternative code:

Code:

        <td class="alt1Active" id="m$pm[pmid]" width="100%" title="$pm[pmpreview]">

                <div>

                        <span style="float:$stylevar[right]" class="smallfont">$pm[senddate]</span>

                        <a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=showpm&amp;pmid=$pm[pmid]"><if condition="$show['unread']"><strong>$pm[title]</strong><else />$pm[title]</if></a>

                </div>

                <div class="smallfont">

                        <span style="float:$stylevar[right]" class="time">$pm[sendtime]</span>

                        <if condition="$show['unread']"><strong>$userbit</strong><else />$userbit</if>

                </div>

        

        </td>

and that's all folks.. please remember to click the install and always tip your waitress.

Cool idea. :)

You could even make it so that the message preview comes up as a tooltip within the template using title="". :)

I made the edit and I uploaded the XML...not working for me. The PM inbox turn up the smae as it did. I have a mod to show newest unread PM on forum home instaled, so i tried to deactivate that plug in and that made no diiference.

Edit: It helps to install it on ALL templates now doesn;t it. Instaled and working fine!

Erwin, cool tip.

Is there a way to lengthen or shorten the review?? Hack looks great!!

excellent work!!

looks real classy on the board!!

Suggestion. Please include the template instructions in a file as well. This makes it easier to reload the plugin and make the edits in the event of a reload.

Thanks for the alternative suggestion, have updated the instructions for those wanting to do just that..

Screen shot tells all.

Like Biker GA said the screenshot tells the tale, but basically it provides a preview of your PM so you can see if it's worth reading right now or can be left for later, also good for seeing what a message was when your clearing out your inbox.

I love this hack. I get ton's of PM's and this speeds up the process. Great work.

Any way to make both versions work?

Anyone have this running properly on 3.5 Gold?

Maybe if it is we should change the vBulletin version on this hack :)

I've noticed that if there is HTML in PM, that HTML is displayed and the page gets broken...

ndahiya

10-06-2005 10:51 AM

looks like it works in 3.5 gold....
not sure of the html prob mentioned above.

and smokering clicks install really like this one thank you for this nice hack

pfvc	10-08-2005 08:33 AM

Great mod, works a treat...

Installed on 3.5.0 Gold (I was wondering why it wasn't working to begin with since I had done everything... I realised I had forgotten to active the plugin system globally in the forum's options settings... then it worked lol)

There is such a problem. But it only happens when there is HTML enableed...

Excellent hack bro, keep up the good work!
sorry about the HTML thing, it must've been I used someone else's hack :P

.Tim	10-26-2005 10:03 PM

Would be nice if this could be made optional, so the user could decide if they wanted it on or not.

Just figured out how:

1) Go to admincp and create a new profile field. Choose Multiple-Selection Checkbox. Fill in the details and then choose where you want to appear, I chose Options: Messaging / Notification

2) And then replace either the original code or the hack code if you already did this with (change the xx after field to whatever your field number is):

Code:

<if condition="($vbulletin->userinfo['fieldxx'] == 'Yes')">

<td class="alt1Active" id="m$pm[pmid]" width="100%">

                <div>

                        <span style="float:$stylevar[right]" class="time" style="font-size:9px;">$pm[senddate] @ $pm[sendtime]</span>

                        <a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=showpm&amp;pmid=$pm[pmid]"><if condition="$show['unread']"><strong>$pm[title]</strong><else />$pm[title]</if></a> (<if condition="$show['unread']"><strong>$userbit</strong><else />$userbit</if> )

                </div>

                <div class="smallfont">

                <i>$pm[pmpreview]</i>        

                </div>

        

        </td>

<else />

<td class="alt1Active" id="m$pm[pmid]" width="100%">

                <div>

                        <span style="float:$stylevar[right]" class="smallfont">$pm[senddate]</span>

                        <a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=showpm&amp;pmid=$pm[pmid]"><if condition="$show['unread']"><strong>$pm[title]</strong><else />$pm[title]</if></a>

                </div>

                <div class="smallfont">

                        <span style="float:$stylevar[right]" class="time">$pm[sendtime]</span>

                        <if condition="$show['unread']"><strong>$userbit</strong><else />$userbit</if>

                </div>

        

        </td>

</if>

Don't know if that was the best way to do it but it worked for me. :D

3.5.3 no problems, quick question:

How do I change the alt background of the preview area? Currently it's the same color as the message title (alt1) and I'd like to make it alt2.

/me clicks install

[high]* Chris-777 clicks install[/high]

quick and dirty: edit the xml file of the plugin and re-install it

better: [APM] Advanced Product Management 2.0.3 and edit the html online in the vB database :)

Cool.! :)

I'm using the tooltip edit, and replaced the 300 with:
$vbulletin->options['threadpreview']

Eventually you may want to consider turning this in to a product, with it's own setting(s). There's plenty of room for expansion with this.. :)

drex	03-23-2006 04:29 AM

yep, that's where i am at

PHP Code:


		
			
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> 

- <plugins>

- <plugin active="1" product="vbulletin">

  <title>PM Preview v1</title> 

  <hookname>private_messagelist_messagebit</hookname> 

- <phpcode>

- <![CDATA[ 

$pm['pmpreview'] = strip_quotes($pm['message']);

$pm['pmpreview'] = htmlspecialchars_uni(fetch_trimmed_title(strip_bbcode(fetch_censored_text($pm['pmpreview']), false, true), 300));



  ]]> 

  </phpcode>

  </plugin>

  </plugins>

any ideas?
