On your webhost cpanel, go to your forum dir.

now go to includes dir.

edit config.php file

look for the "is super admin" line of code.

should look like this. it is default user #1

--------------------------------------------------------------------

// ****** SUPER ADMINISTRATORS ******
// The users specified below will have permission to access the administrator permissions
// page, which controls the permissions of other administrators
$config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'] = '1,2';
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just add a coma when adding other userids.

above example, user 1 and user 2 are super admins, they have full access to all forum settings.

I have installed this mod and the files have been uploaded to the correct paths.

I have also changed the config file to include my user id as a super administrator.

Problem is, no matter what I do, I cannot see the option in the Admin Control Panel under Users.

I can however go to the PM Mod interface and use this feature by typing the directory directly into my browser, e.g. www.myforum.com/admincp/read_pms.php

Could somebody help me find out what I am doing wrong?

I am using 3.6.4

Thanks,
Storm

Great hack. Smilies show as a broken link for me as well but other than that its working fine.

Is there a way to log PMs? Or save them like we can save our own PMs as txt or xml?

If a member deletes a PM, admin has no way to retrieve it?

Thanks.

Right now you can only copy/paste the PMs you want to a text file by yourself.

If a member deletes a PM, it gets totally removed from the database, so no way to retrieve it.

you can do nightly database backups or even have a slave database that has no delete attributes

Hello,
Thanks a lot 4 this great script !

Best regards

There's no way to do that in this version, you would have to edit the code and upload read_pms.php to your modcp folder.

Great Add-On Dream!! :up:

If you could add the Edit PM and also the Delete PM Options, Then the Set of Options Could be Complete for PM Moderation!! :up:

I hope you can add those Two Options (Edit a PM and also Delete a PM) for Complete Moderation Purposes!! :up:

My Best Regards Dream... It Works Real Good on 3.6.5!!
