My first hack! Yay!

This should theoretically work for 2.0.0 and above, but I've only tested it to work in 2.0.3 and 2.2.0.

What this hack does is just allow you to use $allpm[messages], $newpm[messages], and $unreadpm[messages] like in index.php, in your privfolder template. I found it handy to be able to use this in the privfolder template because it's annoying to have to go back to index.php to find out how many messages you have left after deleting a crapload ;)

This little gem of a small hack is perfect for my needs, thank-you!

I'm surprised no one has replied to this thread ever as with a slight addition, it can cut back on some of our 'support' to our end users...

I don't know how many times I've had to explain to my users on why they can't receive PMs even after emptying their inboxes [the dreaded Sent Items folder].

Simply add another query to the instructions:

$unreadpm=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS messages FROM privatemessage WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid] AND folderid=-1 $ignoreusers");

And then put $sentpm[messages] sent messages wherever in your privfolder template

Well, that's how I'm using it :D

Cheers,

~Regs.

I find that if you put this code instead, it looks better:

PHP Code:
<b>|</b><smallfont><b>$newpm[messages]</b>  New Messages <b>|</b></smallfont>
<smallfont><b>$unreadpm[messages]</b>  Unread Messages <b>|</b></smallfont>
<smallfont><b>$allpm[messages]</b>  Total Messages <b>|</b></smallfont>
<smallfont><b>$sentpm[messages]</b>  Sent Messages <b>|</b></smallfont> 
That makes the font smaller, and then it looks more vBulletin style...

I also added
Quote:
<b>|</b>
Before and after each one, so that it seperates them better...

@Regs - You made a mistake in your php...It should be :

PHP Code:
$sentpm=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS messages FROM privatemessage WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid] AND folderid=-1 $ignoreusers"); 
Not :

Quote:
$unreadpm=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS messages FROM privatemessage WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid] AND folderid=-1 $ignoreusers");
:)

You have screenshot?

I customised mine with the additions I said above, and I also added colour to it :

PHP Code:
<font color="#FF972F"> 
Make sure you add this to the end of the group of text though :

PHP Code:
</font> 
Mine looks like this :

PHP Code:
<font color="#FF972F">
<b>|</b><smallfont><b>$newpm[messages]</b> New Messages <b>|</b></smallfont> <smallfont><b>$unreadpm[messages]</b> 
Unread Messages <b>|</b></smallfont> <smallfont><b>$allpm[messages]</b> Total 
Messages <b>|</b></smallfont> <smallfont><b>$sentpm[messages]</b> Sent Messages 
<b>|</b></smallfont> </font> 
Screenshot below...

It is meant to be Orange, but it doesnt show up too well...

... Hellsatan. I just hurriedly copied and pasted the code from the original readme and forgot to change the first bit of code.

I had made the little template alterations as you suggested and added code to put it in a table like the rest of the pages.

I left that for others though :D

A good hack nonetheless.

Cheers,

~Regs.

Yeh...

I found the alterations seemed to make it less confusing...
