Read PMs

Adds "Users >> Read PMs" to the AdminCP

Version History
(0.1) First release, read pms by entering userid
(0.2) Shows a list of users that have pms
(0.3) Search pms
(0.4) Made superadmin only
(0.5) Read pms by entering username (or userid)
(0.6) Shows a list of the last X pms
(0.7) Parses message and separate sent from received on list of PMs

Installation
- Upload "read_pms.php" to your admincp folder
- Upload "cpnav_rpm.xml" to your includes/xml folder

This is pretty basic, you can only read right.

search keywords: admin read pm private message messages administrator

It is a comma seperated list.

few suggestions.

- ability to backup (download) all PM's from admincp
- ability to edit, delete PMs from admincp
- *** optional *** any kind of indication of whether its been read by the user or not.

installed and working for admins, but how can I add so that my supermods can read them?

Maybe copy the code for the superadmin check and change it to look at the supermod usergroup?

Does this look right?

// ########################## SUPERADMIN CHECK ############################
if (!in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'], preg_split('#\s*,\s*#s', $vbulletin->config['SpecialUsers']['supermoderators'], -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY)) ) {
	rpm_print_stop_back("You don't have permission to access this page.");
}

Some call PMs Personal Messages, others Private Messages. Either way they're no way private as they can be read in PhpMyAdmin.

Personally I think this is good to have. I once had a user who had an additional 9 accounts, and used those additional accounts to bump her own fanfictions, and give herself reputation power. One of these fake accounts "stole" the originale account's fanfiction, and well, yeah... Lots of odd stuff with that person. My point being, I could have saved a lot of time having this hack.

Whether or not you use it on all your members, well... That's up to you. And to use on troublesome users, I don't see why not.

*installed* Thanks for this hack!

Ohhh yeah. Calling herself b*tch, and whatnot! Rather scary actually, the whole thing she had going on with herself there... Totally talking to herself and everything... Freaky...
