- One step installation (no file uploads, no manual template modifications required)
- Option to enable/disable the Preview
- Preview Character Length can be altered by Admin.


Installation:
-Import XML file (as product): AdminCP > Plugin System > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]


To set options:
Go to: AdminCP > vBulletin Options > PM Preview


Versions:
v0.1 - Feb 21, 2010 - First Version.

Just a note, the select all checkbox doesn't seem to work.

Is this a user option or only a global setting?

Will look info this now.

It's currently only an admin setting.. In the next version I'm looking into also making it a user option as well.

Brilliant. Thank you.

I've tried to replicate this and haven't been able to, what other hacks do you have installed? (specifically those that do anything PM related)

Is there any difference between this and Princeton's mod ?

:confused:

The only hacks that do anything related to PM are the "Quote Post to PM" mod and the "Pretty PM Notification". I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

The Length of the preview on that one is set using the threadpreview length whereas mine has a independant setting so you could run this hack and have threadpreviews disabled if you want.. I'd say that is probably the biggest difference from just looking at the thread.
