Move Private Message Download Options

This is fairly straightforward, and something I've done because so many of my users overlooked that they could download their Private Messages. Basically, we're moving the option from the easily-overlooked bottom of the page to where the other relevant info is: the usage bar, and the other "All" option -- Delete. Now users can easily see that saving their messages is an option.

ACP > Styles & Templates > Search in Templates > pm_messagelist

Find (Line 105 of a default template):

Code:

                <h3 class="blocksubhead">{vb:rawphrase x_contains_y_z_messages_of_xx, {vb:raw foldername} {vb:raw totalmessages} {vb:raw pmtotal}, {vb:raw pmquota}} (<a href="private.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=emptyfolder&amp;folderid={vb:raw folderid}">{vb:rawphrase empty_folder}</a>)</h3>

Replace With:

Code:

                <h3 class="blocksubhead">{vb:rawphrase x_contains_y_z_messages_of_xx, {vb:raw foldername} {vb:raw totalmessages} {vb:raw pmtotal}, {vb:raw pmquota}} 

                <br /><a href="private.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=emptyfolder&amp;folderid={vb:raw folderid}">{vb:rawphrase empty_folder}</a> or <strong>{vb:rawphrase download_all_private_messages_as}</strong>:  <a href="private.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=downloadpm&amp;dowhat=xml">{vb:rawphrase xml}</a> | <a href="private.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=downloadpm&amp;dowhat=csv">{vb:rawphrase csv}</a> | <a href="private.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=downloadpm&amp;dowhat=txt">{vb:rawphrase text}</a></h3>

To remove the original options, delete (found on lines 139-144 of the default template):

Code:

        <div>

                <strong>{vb:rawphrase download_all_private_messages_as}</strong>:<br />

                <a href="private.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=downloadpm&amp;dowhat=xml">{vb:rawphrase xml}</a> |

                <a href="private.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=downloadpm&amp;dowhat=csv">{vb:rawphrase csv}</a> |

                <a href="private.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=downloadpm&amp;dowhat=txt">{vb:rawphrase text}</a>

        </div>

Looks good. Tagged for later! Thanks :)

Great stuff. Thanks. Works a charm. I think it will look even better if we can move that whole part to the top. Does anyone know how to do that perhaps? Thanks!

Cool :)

Taurus1, take this and copy/paste it, replacing your whole pm_messagelist. It will move the usage bar, etc. to the top as well as doing the move options.

NOTE: Back up your old pm_messagelist first, in case you change your mind.

Thank you so much!! Makes it even easier now!

Thanks for this. Like Taurus1 I also enjoyed moving it all to the top - great work.

Ah, indeed. I didn't remove the one at the bottom. I've updated the original mod post; or you can copy/paste this:
