Save a Copy of Sent PMs Preference in User CP
 

A port of my 3.0.x code modification, here.

This plugin provides your users with an option whether or not to save a copy of sent private messages by default.


If you want Sent PMs to remain saved by default, run this query.

Many thanks to KirbyDE for his words of wisdom. No further updates are planned unless Jelsoft change any of the hooks that this modification uses..

I just installed this. I had it on 3.0.x and it worked great.

However, on this one, I can't seem to find the option in the UserCP under Edit Options. The checkbox shows up in the new PM window after the template edit, but the UserCP option isn't there.

Sorry.. I forgot to include a template edit. :surprised:

All fixed.

Thanks. Works great!

*Clicks Install*

Perfect thanks!

*** Untested ***
private_complete

whats that for?

Works perfectly, thank you Kirby.. :)

I'll update the instructions shortly with this change.


It's an additional plugin instead of having to edit the pm_newpm template.. :)

actually i dont know what im doing wrong but its not working....

Never mind it works! thanks

Can't seem to get this working .. plugin installed fine, template modification OK, the option appears under User Options but it doesn't seem to make any difference if it is ticked or not, PM's still default to do not save. Any ideas?

Check your user table and make sure there is a field called savecopy.

Yup, and it's set to 1 for my user.

Make sure the template edit has been done for all styles that you are running.? :)

I love this hack but the default is set to "do not save private messages". I want the default to remain "save" and just give users the option of not saving.

How can I do this?

Thanks!

Run this query:
[sql]ALTER TABLE p_user CHANGE savecopy savecopy TINYINT (1) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '1'[/sql]Replace [high]p[/high] with your table prefix, if you're not using one completely remove [high]p_[/high].

Should work (and yes, savecopy should be there twice).. :)

Thanks! Its working perfectly now. :)

Works great!

Would be nice to get rid of the template edit tho ;)

thanks!

It's possible, but is not something that I personally wish to do..

I like to be in control of my designs. ;)

Awesome awesome mod. This should definitely be part of the default vB system!!

yeah wonder why it isn't

This hack allows for the same and a couple more options too:

this still works for vB 3.6.0

the only thing that sucks is you have to re-mod the "modifyoptions"
templete every time you upgrade vB..

they always play with that template..

I'm looking for a version of this hack that will work with Version 3.6.8

Any help is greatly appreciated

Also when running the query How do I know what the table prefix is?
Is it the $db_prefix variable in conf.php?

Need a little help with this one.. While in the userCp users get this messsage with a checkbox "Always Save a Copy of Sent Private Messages" when checked is doesn't save it anywhere.

The only way to get it to save is when you send a message to check it then.
