First of all, I take no credit for this hack as its original coding and design is product of Scott And Xiphoid as shown in:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=59617

This hack is merely a bug fix and feature fix, as when I originally used the script I noticed a lot of small visual problems as well as misc other things.

Lots of the linking was a bit messed up, when you read peoples PM's you couldnt tell who they were from, it only shown who they were to etc.. Just a lot of stuff, I added who they were sent from, and sent to and clicking on the names take your to Their inbox instead of their userinfo section in the Admin Panel etc..

So yes, they get all the credit, I just thought people would want the bug fixed version. If scott or xiphoids wants to take this thread down, and stick the script in their original thread - fine by me.

Enjoy, and thanks you for making it first, lol.

Did you get permission off floris/scott? Also if this is his code just touched up it shouldn't really be a new release :)

Nah I didnt get his permission, but his release was quite buggy and personally I dont think you should release something if its got obvious bugs in it, im just doing a service for people that want something thats clean.

All I did was clean up what was there and add a few more features, all of the code in that script is generic functions used by Vbulletin to handle PM's anyway so no worries. :)

Trigunflame... the point is not the work you've done on the script, but the rules...

if you want to play on the OpenSource playground, you have to follow the rules.
1- ask the originate coder to have the right to release a new version of his work
2- wait for the answer, not just ask.
3- release if you have the right, or make your own version not based on the originate work...

Well

1. I didnt ask because this is not an altogether new thing, its just a bug fix
2. If he doesnt like it, he can get it removed.
3. Most of the code is based solely on vbulletins built in queries that it uses to handle fetching pm's so the only real code modification is that of allowing you to view a particular list of them via an id variable. Technically "making" my own version, would not be feasible as there is really only 1 way as to which to get pm's from a db in the manner in which is needed..
4. Seeing as your a relatively new member, I really dont need to be getting rules from you, thanks.

i will not argue anymore, as it's not my role here, but ...

if it's just a bugfix, why didn't you released it in the originate thread instead ?!.. this is the usual thing we all do here... anyway, good luck with the rules you don't want to follow!

1. The moment you modified one character in the original code, it becomes updated or new.
2. Do the honorable thing, remove it yourself until you obtain permission.
3. Regardless of your incorporation of built-in vBulletin queries, you are doing it on a hack that you did not create. End of story.

Thumbsdown for this hack. I will not be installing it.

lol, jezuz. lol.... i think... if you ask they wouldn't mind... but you should ask... mod please take it off or something, then put it back... :ermm:

I frankly dont care if you install it or not, the release of this was not to present something new, it was to fix something released. So w/e.

Sorry, that doesn't matter. Your thread and others like it are not appreciated. Members who take the time to create a hack are being undermined by people such as yourself who have no respect for another person's work.

I strongly urge you, remove your content and attachment in the first place. If you wait until a moderator or administrator does it, you might come out a little worse off than if you do it now.
