Private Conversations (Threaded PMs) Details »»
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
Private Conversations is a small mod that adjusts the way your PMs are displayed; Instead of the old method which shows one at a time quoting the last message, this threads them and makes them work much like the Conversation feature that visitor messages use. A conversation is defined as two users PMing eachother using the same PM title (With or without the "Re:" prefix), so as to not mix up different conversations that aren't related.

To-Do List
Installation Simply open up your ACP, click "Plugins & Products" on the left, "Manage Products", then import the attached file. No uploading or modifications required  Usage Private Conversations is entirely automatic, no configuration or installation required (Other than the above). Upon visiting the "Private Messages" page, this mod will automatically list conversations. To see normal PMs instead of conversations, simply select a folder at the top menu (Such as "Inbox") and Private Conversations will let the default view take over; It will always allow vBulletins PM system priority over itself whenever it detects that the user has selected a folder. A reply box will show at the top of each message, allowing for easy replies. You can also select 'View Full' on each message to see it in the old format, which you can also reply to using the old method. All messages apart from the three latest are automatically collapsed inside conversations, to save page space. Note to mod developers This uses and calls the following inbuilt hooks: private_showpm_start, private_messagelist_start, private_messagelist_messagebit, and private_messagelist_period. Because I am not too sure on how well this will cope with other mods, I have added a variable $pricon that will set to true if the user is viewing conversations not normal PMs, which you may check for in plugins and use to halt your code should it be incompatible for some reason.

Is there a way to show the thread in reverse order? Oldest first and replies under?

Find this in template pm_showconvo: Code:
#pm_list div.fixed_width_avatar {
float:left;
}
Add a padding: 6px; line under float:left; like so: Code:
#pm_list div.fixed_width_avatar {
float:left;
padding:6px;
}
Gives a pretty nice look with minimal change to the code.

Just a few suggestions/requests for this mod, if I don't find a way to do them myself
:-Find a way to reverse the view order (or give the user an option to reverse the order) so it appears from oldest at the top, to newest at the bottom, with the quick reply box at the bottom of the list so it appears more like a thread (I know this has already been requested) -Add a check box to allow the user to select all messages in the conversation for deletion -Give a drop down box with more options when a message is selected (just like when you're in the standard "View Inbox" view, there is a drop-down box with delete, move, mark read, mark unread, and export options with a Go! button) -Currently, after you delete a message or choose to look in your Sent Items or Inbox (or any custom folder), you are returned to the standard Private Messages view, not Private Conversations. Improve the usability of this function to return back to Private Conversations for the end user so that they don't have to click on the "Private Messages" button in the welcome block or "List Messages" in the User CP just to get back to the Private Conversations view. -Put more user information about the sender than their avatar and username with a link to their profile. Can easily reproduce the format here based on what's in the postbit template for the threads in the forums to show the user's name, their title, a drop-down box for the user information, as well as instant messaging icons and other information. I definitely like it so far, though! I was getting tired of multiple levels of nested quotes in my PMs!

- I've got that working on my test forums, it will be in for the next version. - I was going to, but I realised that there aren't really much options I can put in. You can't move messages to certain folders, because the way the conversation system works. Mark read and unread again aren't the most useful options to add because it only checks if the latest message was read/unread not other ones inside the conversation, which leaves us with the Delete option. I'll be looking to support the other options at a later date when I rewrite the way Conversations are stored and identified. - vBulletin likes to stick the folderid on the end of the URL wherever possible, and naturally this product lets any URL with a folderid take priority over itself because the user might have opted to view in the old way. I have created a fix on my test forums to not include the folderid when deleting messages and it will be in for the next release. - See the first point  Thank you for your feedback I hit a little logical problem in the next version and it might not be released as soon as I'd liked. I'm going to look at an alternate method of storing and identifying conversations that will hopefully resolve lots of logical issues that prevent me from making major adjustments, as well as including better features and hopefully all less database strain. There's no ETA to the next version I'm afraid, it'll be done when it's done

Adjustment to the Addon pn appendix. Adjustment file & Exit should look alike. Überschirft receiving in the post office entrance is missing. How would it be to be integrated message pursuit in the post office exit? Auf deutsch: Ein gutes Addon doch fehlt nen bissl was. Anpassung zum Addon PN Anhang. Anpassung Ordner Ein & Ausgang sollten gleich aussehen. Überschirft Empfangen im Posteingang fehlt. Wie wäre es die Nachrichtenverfolgung im Postausgang zu integrieren?
