What am I doing wrong? A: You are trying to import the XML as a Plugin which is wrong. It must be imported as a Product (ACP / Plugin System / Manage Products).
Q: Why does this Hack not work? A: Although it is possible that you have discovered a new Bug that causes it not to work, it is more likely that you have made an installation/configuration/customization mistake. Before asking for support, please check:
- Did you enter the Userid of the Sender?
- Does the sender have permission to use PMs?
- Does Usergroup registered have permission to use PMs?
- Are you using the original Phrases?

Thanks for this nice hack Andreas and I know your time is very spare but only one question.
If somebody is registering on my site he can choose between 3 different Groups and because I use amykhars hack "Add User to Secondary Usergroup Based on the Value of a Custom Profile Field at Reg." it would be very nice if there would be an option to send different pm to each user based of the choosen usergroup.
But knowing you have a lot of work, it's only an idea.
@Ramsesx
That would need a complete rewrite of this Hack, feel free to do that if you want - I dno't have the time to nor am I interested in doing it.
Sorry.
@all others having install problems
